Each of the local churches has ap
opportunity to do valuable home mis-
slon work during the hour of services
in the respective churches, If not on
the church grounds proper, within
calling distance, young men and boys
may be found indulging in conversa-
tion quite common to the street, if not
worse. The majority of these youths
are sons of church members, and fre-
quently their elders are within the
church proper, but Eli-like neglect the
training of their children. But worse
than this Is the sight of men, whose

STATE CHAMPION NOT IN IT
Real Hero of the Links in This Com
munity Was the Man Who Re-
fused to Play the Game.
We had a chance to demonstrate
our theory last fall, says a writer in
the Topeka Capital. It worked like a
potato in a rheumatic’s pocket.
Through the influence of the missus,
who has friends, we obtained a card
to a very select country club in an
eastern state, where we stayed ten
days. The club had golfitls in its
most acute form. The men and wom
en who frequented the club played
golf, talked golf, ate golf and slept
it. It was the home of the state
champion and the game was the one
important tople of conversation.
For a day or two we were lost in
the atmosphere of golf which befog
ged the place. Then we began to at
tract a little attention by indicating
in a delicate and polite way that the
whole thing bored us to extinction
When we respectfully declined to en.
gage In the game or borrow any of
the implements connected with the
sport there was great surprise. Our
assertion that we did not play the
game and did not wish to was receiv.
ed with amazement. Up to the tim:
of our advent the state champion had
been the colossal figure of the club.
At the end of three days we had
the state champion hanging on to the
ropes. At the end of a week his ex.
istence had been forgotten. As a
curiosity he had been crowded out of
place by the “eccentric” Kansan who
sat around reading the reports of the
world’s championship games, deaf to
golf and all of its manifestations. It
isn't always the hand that is dealt
you. It is the way you play it
Our Fairy Godmothers.
The world, out of falry books, is
chary in furnishing its fatry godmoth-
ers, yot most of us have friends at
whose touch we become more truly
and happily ourselves than at other
times. They seem able to endow us,
through some magic of their own,
with the beauteous vestments and the
glass slippers that free the epirit.
These are our fairy godmothers. We
do well to love them and pay them
good heed, for through them we may
enter into such possession of the pre
clous gifts that we need have no dread
of the striking hour. This, we must
suppose, is what Cophetua did for his
beggarmaid. At his glance the queen
dn her blossomed, which later all the
world could see.~From the Atlantie

Passing of a Type.
The hard contemporary fact is that
the gloriously named authors are be-
coming sadly rare, even rarer than
long-haired actors. The long-haired
musician is still with us, though one
of the most eminent masters of the
planoforte has yielded something to
the modern spirit by submitting briefly
to the shears. Individual age has
here a potent influence--age, or the
getting through with things. What a
wonderfully picturesque person Dick
ens was at twenty-five! And how
matter-of-fact at forty! Browning suf
fered a similarly sobering and Averag-
ing effect. The same thing is true of
many other figures in that period, and
it is not easy to guess whether the
changing fashion set in during their
middle years, or whether advancing
age would have effected the same
change in any case~Alexander Black,
in the Atlante,
To Make Little Folks Happy.
There may be no children in your
household, but it is wise to save, nev
ertheless, those trifies that children
like, and when you have some little
Ruests you will be able to produce
something that will entertain them. It
Is surprising, too, how little it takes
to give pleasure to a child. Odds and
ends of ribbon, a pretty card, some
pletures cut from catalogues, bits of
colored string, tinfoll, all will be ap-
preciated. A box kept for the purpose,
In which all such “treasures” may be
stored as’ thoy are picked up from
time to time, will be a help, and when
one box is full, All another. It is safe
to say that your little friends will re-
nrember their visits long after you
have forgotten them.
