smile, the word of love and cheer, the visit to the iick, the
ministration to the neighbor who is afflicted or in need, the
honest, upright, beautiful life, even the janitor's task all
these may be as necessary as the sermon. The poet truth
fully says that "They also serve who only stand and wait" I
wait for the baptism of the spirit. This is sometimes the
hardest task of all, though it may be necessary in order to
prepare one for a really spiritual work. Nothing done as a
spiritual duty is trivial or unimportant. Each has its place
in the work of the perfect whole.
In this day much of the work of the church must consist
of instruction and of leading jts members, most of whom
have as yets only a desire for truer living, and that often
weak and intermittent. Most 'of them have not yet attained
full self-control and self-mastery. In most churches there
are but few who are spiritually developed enough to keep
the flame burning upon the 'altar, who hear God's voice and
obey it. Upoif these few falls the duty of. carrying on the
spiritual work of the church and 'keeping its spiritual doors
wide open to the suffering and needy in body and soul.
If these few consecrated souls-would join together with
a determination that could not be shaken and pray without
ceasing for the real baptism bf the Holy Spirits why would
not the day of Pentecost dawn, for them the same as for the

THE BETTER LAND
The message from a beloved
centenarian who recently passed
to the spirit world is that there
is no rheumatism in heaven. Tha
is why they call it heaven. It it
have turned their attention from
advocating the extension of the
free lists to an effort to prove
that the rates proposed in the
pending bill are too high. Their
chief argument is framed around
the idea that a large part of the
work In the factories of this coun
try Is done by machinery. Chair
man Fordney of the house ways
and means committee has, made
the statement that "everything is
90 per ce'nt labor," and the free
trade propagandists are attempt
ing to show that "nothing gener
ally . speaking, is more than 50
per cent labor. Well, what of
ii? There are plenty of argu
ments to prove either contention.
But in the main, whatever per,
centage of manufacturing cost in
this country is labor is true or
possible of every other country
competing with our home indus
tries. The fact is, the rates of
duty proposed in the present bUl,
as It left the house, are genef?
ally .very tow, compared with the
rates, for instance, of the Mckin
ley tartff law and the free list
in a very long one,'' compared with
any tariff law this co ntry has"

' "One dark night 'dad and

"They rowed over to the haunt

Suddenly, not more than 20
yards from the bushes, .the tellers
saw the big red ball of fire sltoot
up out of the river and light up
the whole island near where they
were. She went up slowly tin
she was about a hundred feet In
the air, and then quick as a, wink
she disappeared. ' ,
'Well, dad and the gang ha J
got enough too much. They all
tore out of the bushes and made a

smoothly along the water!
"And as the fellers watched the
ball of fire slowly took the snap-?
of a man, and they could see him
dipping his oars Into the water
and pulling on them strong and
ejren. He wore a slouch hat with
wide brim and dad says it was
pulled way down on his face.
"The boat reached 'the.' middle
of the stream. Then, Just as sud

"There's a great big el-phunt.
and he''s going down the street.
Come look!" shouted little Ben
nie when Horace came sleepjly
down the stairs.
Horace grinned, "I guess Pra
wise , that this is April Fool," be
said, "No one is gomg to put
anything over on me."
"Oh Horace, you've dropped
your napkin, said moiner. ;
"April Fool, hnh?" said Hor
ace. "You'll have lo try some
thing better than that."
So Horace went off to school
without any of the family get
ting a chance to call out "April
Fool." All day he was on his
guard. No one got near enough
to pin .a "kick me" sign on h's
back; no one. got a chance to of
fer him nice looking candy which
had a center of soap or wood; no
one got to jerk a pocketbooiLrom
under his eager fingers.. He was
wise. v" .
He was too busy watching out
to play jokes, on any one else.. So
the bunch of merrymakers': left
him alone, and gave up trying! to
catch him in a trap. . . i
weit." satd Horace with n a
yawn, as he started up stairs to
bed, "ihls has been some day, "Va
sure been on the lookout, and not
a vfrtle terson lias had a chatfre
to fool tne this time.' I call that
some record."
"Oh, you do." said his mother.
with a funny little smile. "It
seems to me you've fooled your
self worse than ever before. For
one thing you've failed to get. In
the spirit of th's day of merri
ment. But that isn't all. , You
wouldn't go, in the pantny to get
some doughnuts. But they were
really there. You didn't get any
of sister's lovely fudge, because
you were suspicious. You got a
low grade in arithmetic for leav

after yi, but you were afraid of
being 'caught. And ydki didn't
go over to Phil's houseto . ' his
April Fool party, and his mother
called up a while ago to see if
you were Tsick. She was sorry yo i
didn't come, because they had
