CHURCH BY MAIL
Rev. Allen W. Clark, of Dan-
vers, Mass, has perfected a plan
of Go to Church—by mail. He
explains his “mail-order” church
plan in this manner: Each week
he malls out a mimeographed
Sunday service including an
opening prayer, a Bible reading,
a 400 word sermon and a clos-
ing prayer. The mail is sent
to the “shut-ins,” those tem-
porarily sick, men and women
who have to work on Sunday,
mothers kept at home by the
very young, men in prison, the
deaf young men in military
camps, parishioners away for
vacation and rural families. Al
the comforts of church but the
collection box.
LOTS OF LIG HT
When an electric light bulb
burned out in the kitchen of the
home of Mrs. Joseph LaSitis, at
Emporium, while they were ab-
sent on a shopping tour, Patricia
Anne, aged 11, was not disturb-
ed. At the door, her 4-year-old
hrother, Robert, met his parents.
“Gee, daddy, Patty knows how
to fix lights,’ he beamed, proud
of his sister's achievement. “It's
just like daytime.” The kitch-
en, indeed, was flooded with bril-
Hant light. Patricia, unable to
find an ordinary bulb, had made
the replacement with a large
photo-flood lamp from her fa-
thers enlarger.
EVERYTHING'S DITTO
Merlin and Marshal Roberson,
12-year-old twins, of Atlanta,
Ga. are identical in every respect.
They weigh the same, have the
same number of freckles in the
same places (or look to have);
get ill at the same time with the
same illnesses and run the same
temperatures for the same time;
they get hurt the same time in
the same places; and they have
been operated on eight times for
the same troubles at the same
time.
TOO MANY CATS
Cats that sat on the dining
room table and dogs that group-
ed themselves wistfully around
the diners’ feet made a Coraop-
olis woman lose her appetite and
a resulting 25 pounds in weight,
she told the judge in divorce
proceedings at Pittsburgh on
Friday. She got the divorce.

filler-dillers. In the beginning of

have some meaning, or are simple
decorations without significance—a
conclusion practically any of us
