son Archie have been visiting Mrs.
Shearer’s brother, Bion Nelson and

and part of early childhood here, the
Orviston people feel very proud of the
clever little fellow and his excellent
playing. In the evening Mr. Newton

SOUL’S ORDEAL AFTER DEATH
Old Volume, Known as “Judgment of
the Dead,” Is a Fancy of the
Ancient Egyptians.
a
“Book of the Dead” is a very old
book, known in ancient Egypt as the
“Judgment of the Dead,” and it con-
tains the funeral ritual of the Egyp-
tians, describing in mystical language
the experiences of the soul after death
and the text it must quote to escape
the torments and trials of the lower
world. In one chapter, the longest in
the book, is a picture showing the
judgment which the defunct, before en-
tering into the fields of the blessed,
will undergo in the lower world, in the
presence of Osiris and 42 judges of
monstrous form, who are on hand to
devour the guilty and drink his blood.
Anubis, the god of the dead, and
Thoth, the god of wisdom, examine
the deceased by weighing his heart in
the “sacred” balances of Justice. The
famous “negative confession” enumer- |
ates 42 caiptal sins from which the de-
ceased must be free. Should he fail to
pass the ordeal, he is either handed
over to be devoured by the monster,
part hippopotamus, part crocodile and
|
part lion, which represents the Egyp- |
tian Cerebus, or is thrown into the
fiery lake.
Mr
Queer Wedding Presents.
The following are a few of the many
curious wedding presents that have
been received by those about to enter
the bonds of matrimony.
A well-known author received on
his marriage, from a rival man of lete
ters, a scrapbook containing a collec-
tion of all the adverse criticisms his
works had ever received; while a
popular artist was on similar occasion
presented with a set of elementary
works upon self-instruction in drawing
and painting.
Unusually vexatious was the gift re-
ceived from his neighbors by an infirm
octogenarian
years his junior. Tt took the form of
a large brass cage, “intended”—so ran
the accompanying note—“to restrain
the wayward flight of a giddy young
wife who had married a decrepit old
fool for his money.”
Timid Old Soul.
My aunt was a timid old soul and
was quite afraid of holdups. For safe
keeping she always put her money in
her stocking. One day when she was
going to do some Christmas shopping
she thought she would play a joke on
the holdups. She put the money in her
pocket and carried her purse. In the
purse she put newspaper crumpled up.
She kept her hand in the pocket that
had the purse and walked along mer-
rily. But to her surprise when she
had purchased her’ needs she reached |
for the money, but it was missing.
Then, forgetting, she reached for her
pockethook and puiled out the paper
She had to give back all the articles
and walk home empty-handed.—Chica-
zo Tribune.

How much should I give
to make this a better world?
CERTAIN man in New York filled out his
income tax report.
It showed an income so large that his tax was
53%. And his total gifts to church and char-
ity for the year were $148.
Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and
pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world
a little better than he found it!
Most of us do better than that; but not so very
much better. :
Our average daily gift for all church causes is
Tied —1Jess than we spend for daily papers
—1less than a local telephone call
—1ess than a third of the day’s car fare
—1less than 3 cents a day
No wonder that 80% of the ministers of America
are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that
the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick
people a year. No wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder
that every church board and charity society is
forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat.
It isn't because we are selfish; it isn't because we
don’t want to help. It's just because no one has ever put
up a great big program to us, and asked us to think of the
work of the church in a systematic businesslike way.
The Interchurch World Movement represents the united
program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed
their whole task, no business could have done it better:
They have budgeted their needs; no business could have
a more scientific budget. They have united to prevent the
possibility of waste and duplication. At leasta million dol-
lars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual cam-
paigns are joined in one united effort.
And they come to the men or women who love America
—to you— this week asking you to use them as the chan-
nel through which a certain definite part of your income
can be be applied to make this a better world.
Only vou can determine what part of your income that
should be.
It’s a good time right now to answer that question.
We're passing through the world just once; how much
better will the world be because you passed through?
