The Preacher and His Ms.

THE CHINA MAIL.

Lord Sands, in his Leo:Lecture, speaking on sermons, asks first for a real message, and he would like

it delivered with at least some iu- | dependence of the manuscript. If reading is no longer anathema, it is a hindrance to effectivé delivery. In the old days a worshipper, dis- gusted with close reading, declar ed that the preacher 'got on like a craw amo' the tatile, twa dabs aa a look up, and it is probable that in part the defects of pulpit speaking are caused by slavish adherence to the paper.

Auld Lang Syne.

(REVISED VERSION.)

"He was under the influence of drink," said the constable, "and he knocked a woman down'

with a heavy blow on the jaw."

"I had been drinking." caid de- fendant, and added, "I had known her for a long time."

Should auld acquaintance be, for-

got,

'Tis not by My design,

So here's k.o. to all your rot

For the days of auld lang syne.

CHORUS:

For suld lang syne, ma lass i Forauld lang syne!

In friendliness I'll knock ye doon, For the days of auld lang syne!

**Swakfowly."

(Write this magic word on the flap of the envelope when you write to the absent adored one. Quote the acrostic in your letter in explanation.)

Scaled With A Kiss From One

Who Loves You,

Warm from a heart that holds you

ever dear,

A heart that feels when joy or

Sorrow moves you.

Knows no true happiness till you

draw near.

Far fairer scenes, dear love, may.

cheer you,

Or warmer suns upon you kindlier

shine,

Will not the thought that love is

near you

Light up with truer joy those eyes

divine-

Your eyes, dear heart, which first

read love in mine?

Sayings Of To-day And Yester-

The best kind of repentance is not doing it again.--Charles F. Rideal.

The three degrees in medical treatment: Positive, ill; compara-

bill. tive, pill; superlative William Callier.

A fish isn't the only thing that keeps out of trouble if it will re- member to keep its mouth shut- | Mayor Gaynor,

The trouble with optimists is that when the rain does come they are always sponging on other folk for umbrellas. Horace Dod Gastel, .

The political socialist says: "What's yours is mine but the Christian socialist says: What's mine is yours." Rev. A. D Pinkerton.

Genius is 1 per cent. inspiration and 99 per cent. perspiration. Robert W. Chambers,

A financier is a man who is cap- able of inducing other men to pile up a fortune for him.-Sir Joseph Lyons.

The most difficult thing for a beginner to lehm about a motor-i car is to keep from talking about it all the time.—L. Grossmith

It needs more courage to fight| the bothers and the worries and the humdrum of life than to meet its great emergencies.-Dr. Dizon.

Listening-in.

One result of the wireless craze

is that a great, hush has fallen upon suburban families, and many

neighbour-annoying noises have entirely ceased.

•

•

Once we made an awful row, but

we seldom do it now;

The gramophone has ceased to

make a din;

our

We never ping and pong, or lift

valce in song, For we're always listening,

listening, listening-in.

Now we never dance a bit, and as

quiet as mice we sit;

We biffed Aunt Jane because

she dropped a pio. Father's put his clubs away, and at bridge we never play, ?. For all the family's listenlug,

listening-in.

This rage for wireless waves quite

a lot of worry saves,

For Mother the spring-cleaning

won't begin;

Mabel's given up her knitting, and

now her fiancé's quitting

Because she's always listening-

in.

When the wave is rather long and

the current extra strong,

We hear the mark keep falling

all eqna

But the doctor's in the place as we've all caught "broadcast face” ambit Through listening, listening.
