Legends of First Man
Common tS All Races
Almost every race of people has
legends regarding the first man
and woman. Among North Ameri
can Indians myths are common. Tra
ditions trace back onr first parents
to white and red maize; another Is
that man, searching for a wife, was
given the daughter of the king of
the nraskrats, who" in being dipped
Into the waters of a neighboring
lake, became a woman. One of the
strangest stories concerning the
origin of woman Is told by the Mad
agascarenes. Insofar as the crea
tion of man goes, the legend Is not
unlike that related by Moses, only
that the fall came before Eve had
arrived. After the man had eaten
the forbidden fruit he became af
fected with a boll on the leg, out
of which, when it burst, came a
beautiful girl. The man's first
thought was to throw her to the
pigs; but he was commanded by a
messenger from heaven to let her
play among the grass and flowers
until she was of marriageable age,
then to make her his wife. He did
so, called her Barbara, and she be
came the mother of all races of
men.

"There Is simply no understand
ing women," he observed.
"Whaddye mean?" the thin car
penter asked, Just to start the con
versation. "Well, for Instance, a woman
does not object to being called a
duck."
"No."
"And she even smiles if some
one happens to refer to her as a
chicken."
"Too true."
"And some of them will stand
for being called squab, broiler or
turtle-dove."
"Yes, yes, what's the idea?"
"It's Just this," the fat plumber
exclaimed, "a woman objects to be

Ancient College Custom
A person who falls to pass an ex
amination is said to have been
"plucked." This meaning of the
word has a curious origin. In olden
days when degrees were conferred
In Oxford two proctors marched sol
emnly down the hall and back.
Tradesmen with grievances name
ly unpaid bills would sit on the
benches and pluck the proctor's
gown as he passed. If the bill was
big enough and a tradesman proved
his case, the undergraduate was
refused his degree. Ilence the term
"plucked," which, now that Its
origin Is fofgotten, is used for fall
ing In examinations of any kind.
The proctors still march up and
down the hall, but of course their
gowns are no longer plucked.
Habits of Silence Inbred
In the old days OJIbway children
were taught to be seen and not
heard, for to be heard might have
meant death. When the screams of
the hoot owl or other strange noises
came from the woods, they snuggled
closer, but kept all the quieter, for
the noise which they heard was lia
ble to be the signal of a prowling
enemy, and to have cried would
have been to have revealed the hid
ing place "of the family or tribe.
Thus through the thousands of
years that the Indians lived In con
stant danger of attack, the habit of
silence was bred In the blood. Even
now the OJIbway youngster will
take a severe Jolt without a sound,
and even come up smiling.

"But what shall I sing?" asked

"Very much," said the grocer,
"but my customers were suspicious

Cookery and Slang
in Odd Relationship
Why the business of the cook
should be used as a vehicle of scorn
and revenge Is a mystery of our
mysterious language.
We boast that we "have settled
his hash" when we have "squashed1
a man and when counsel very se
verely cross-examines a witness, or
a mistress gives a servant what is
commonly called "a niece of her
mind," we say that both got
Jolly good roasting." If anyone has
been thoroughly bamboozled or
made a fool of we say he has been
done brown.
Why do we say that certain clr
cumstances or happenings have put
a man "Into a pretty stew," or that
a certain youtig man has got him
self Into boiling water," which al
most certainly refers to the drop
ping of some living animal, like the
lobster, Into the pot? And why do
we refer to some one who has
shown a lack of Intelligence as only
half-baked?"
The phrase "I've cooked his
goose" has an ancient origin. When
Eric, king of Sweden, reached
certain town with very few soldiers,
the enemy hung out a goose for him
to shoot. Finding, however, that It
was no matter for jest, the towns
folk sent heralds to learn what he
wanted. His reply was: "To cook
your goose for you. London Tit'
Bits.
No Change at All
"You've heard of a person being
In a quandary, haven t you? Peter
son asked.
"Sure," replied Brown. "Why?1
"Well, I Just had a letter from an
old friend, and he's In one. He's
been In rather bad health for some
time, so the other day he went to
see a doctor, and the doctor advised
him to take two or three months'
complete rest. That's where the
quandary comes in. He's been
working for the government for 15
years and doesn't know where to
look for a more complete rest."

Keep On Keeping On
When last I went West by way
of the Broadway Limited, I was sit
ting on the observation platform,
watching the scenery dash hy, when
the porter came out to straighten
the chairs which had been left In
some disorder by a group of young
folks.
"We don't seem to be going so
mucn raster than an ordinary local
train, George," I commented. "How
then, can this be the fastest train
on earth?
"Well, suh," replied the African
with a grin, "de fnc' Is we alls donn
go no fastern lots of them pesky
locals, but we gits dar In quick time
because we Jht keeps on keeping
on." W. L. Barnhart In Forbes
Magazine.
Eye Stones
Different small, smooth objects
were used by our grandmothers to
remove foreign substances from the
eye, and were known as eye stones.
The most common object used for
an eye stone Is the "operculum" of
a small marine shell. This Is a
small lens-shaped piece of calcare
ous shell and Is put Into the Inner
corner of the eye under the lid. It
works Its way to and out of the
outer corner, often carrying Ihe for
eign substance in the eye with it.
Real Self-Control
"My wife Iihs the most remark
able self-control."
"How Is that?"
"She. roads iier invitations with-
mt passing a finger over the en
fivlng." Life
about half an hour was taken up pre
liminary to the preaching service.
Participants were members of the
church and Bible school and the pro
gram was much appreciated. We give
herewith a short rveiew of the Ber
mon of Mr. Bower on the subject
What Church Shall I Join." from the
text, Ephesians 4:1-18. After brief
ly mentioning the very large number
of churches that might be joined, the
pastor said:
It is not sensible to attempt to be
come familiar with them all at first
hand there are too many of them.
It would be just as foolish as to try
every kind of automobile tire there is
before settling on what kind to use.
Some have tried a great many tires
and others a great many churches but
the only sensible way to do is to make
a decision and stay with it. Before
one makes a decision there are sev
eral questions he ought to ask and
answer.
Is one church as good as another?
Many say, "They are all going to the
same place so what difference does it
make " Again, "What difference
does it make what road you take just
so it gets you to the place you want
to go?" Neither question is entirely
frank, however, for all roads do not
lead to the same place and of the
roads that do lead to any given place
there is usually one that is superior
tf. any other by which we may travel.
Sc it is with churches, the grade, the
surfacing and maintenance vary. In
other words, churches have a differ
ence in emphasis, procedure and
standards. They are not alike.
Do different kinds of people need a
different kind of church?. Some say
so. But the different kinds of people
do not correspond in number to the
different kinds of churches. The in
evitable conclusion from the scrip
ture is that Christ designed one
church to fit all people everywhere.
Do we need to join any church?
Some say that as long as the churches
can not agree they will have nothing
to do with any. Now the divided con
dition of the church is a snare, as
most will admit, but one who because
of this ignores God and His Son and
His Word is grievously at fault. Let
us. not ignore the church of God lest
haply we be found fighting against
God.
But we are not ready to answer the
question with which we began for
there are still several things to con
sider. In the first place the Lord has only
ONE church. He never spoke of build
ing churches but said, "On this rock
I will build my church."
In the next place he designed this
one church for all the world and said
to his Apostles, "Go ye into all the
world and preach the gospel to the
whole creation."
Again, no one can join this church.
The phrase "join the church" is un
scriptural the New Testament says
r.othin? about ioininp the church. It
does say that "the Lord added to them '
day by day such as were being saved."
The New Testament is all about sav
ing souls and nothing about church
membership, hence we are to be con
cerned only with that church rela
tionship that the Lord gives when we
;bey the gospel commands. The an
swer to our question seems then to
be that we are not members of any
church but Christ's.
In order that there may be no puz
zle left we are told in the fourth
chapter of Ephesians how to recog
r.ize the church of Christ. It has one
body, and Christ as the head cannot
have more than one body without be
coming a monstrosity. It has one
spirit the spirit of Christ and hence
there is room for no party spirit. It
has one hope, not a hope of scoial or
naterial benefit but of eternal salva
tion. It has one Lord Jesus himself
beside whom there Is no source of
authority in Heaven or on earth for
the conduct of the church. This leaves
no room for a pope, cardinal, priest,
ttc. It has one faith that "Jesus is
the Christ, the Son of the living God."
No further articles of faith or con
fession are authorized in the New
Testament. It has one baptism the
immersion of a penitent believer in
water. And is not one enough? All
else is of man. It has one God and
Father and this is the climax in the
lesson of the unity of the church for
if we have one Father then all we are
brethern and partakers of the same
promises.
This is the church divinely author
ized for mankind. It is the Church of
Tesus the church of the New Testa
ment,

Unseen Sources

The basic sources of automobile
value are not always apparent to
the eye.
A motor car, like a house, may
LOOK a great deal more substan
tial than it really is.
Because of this difficulty, more and
more thousands are turning to Dodge
Brothers product for insurance
against disappointment
The years have proved, and each
year proves anew, that Dodge
Brothers are as deeply concerned
with the UNSEEN goodness of their
motor car, as with the seen.
The mileajge it will deliver, the
safety it will provide, the expense and '
trouble it will save the owner over
a period of years, are quite as im
portant to Dodge Brothers as the
more obvious details of equipment,
and style.
