the Old Days.
In the old days before steam fire
engines came into use tbere used to
be fierce struggles between rival
fire companies to see whicb could
“ wash" the other engine. A fire
was then “ fought” by extending a
line of engines from the nearest
water to the burning building. The
engine at the cistern or hydrant
pumped water to the one in front,
this in turn supplied the third, and
•o on until the one at the fire end of
the line waa reached, and it played
upon the flames.
Tha foreman of the first engine
to reach the fire hailed the next
company that arrived with, “ Will
you take our water?” ▲ refusal
was not to be thought of. It would
be ahowing the “ white feather.”
An engine waa “ washed” when its
rival supplied it with more water
than It could pump out, so that its
box was overflowed. As the engines
were all of nearly the same size and
pattern, the victory would belong
to the company that applied the
moat mu«cle to its brakes.
The exciting contest begah with
the first stroke of the alarm bell,
for each company was ambitious to

first member who reached the en­
gine bouse threw open the doors,
kicked away the chocks and rolled
out the engine. Then a dozen mem­
bers rush up, seize the drag rope
and away the “ machine” goes.
“ Start her livelv, boys!” shouts
the foreman, running ahead. “ Let
cut more rope!” is the cry, as fresh
members lay bold. “ Pull steady I”
cry the men, aa they bend to their
work.

“ Put in the butt!” “ Play away!”
And twenty partly stripped men,

at the rate of sixty strokes to the

the foreman, and with body sway­
ing to the motion o f the brakes, he

Then, as he sees the water “ boil­

All sorts of excuses would be of­

to bore holes in the boxes of their

The Lord has seen fit to associate the
name Armageddon, with the great con
troversy between Truth and Error,
right and wrong. God and Mammon,
with which this age will cloee, perish,
and the New Age of Messiah’s glory
be oahered In. He has purposely need

They are to gather

and their retinues of clergy and faith­

kings and captains of Industry, and as
many as can be Influenced by them,

political kings and princes, with all
