They were both big drinkers, and they were both drunk. «me of them has kept his pledge to this day. The other has broken it so often that he has lost count. «me day I had them together. I asked the man who broke his pledge why he did not keep it. He com- plained that old pals asked him to drink, persuaded him to go with them and have a “ginger.” and rather than displease them. he went and so on and so forth. Turning to the other man, I said, “I suppose no one ever asks you to have drink.” “0h, aye.” he said, "they do. but they nev ,r ask me twice.” He 'carried a pledge book. and whenever he was asked to drink, he produced it and asked them to sign.

Mr. Peter McCarthy. of the Morning Star Mission, Peoria, was. at about the time of Elwell’s first ventures in card-playing, an alcoholic wreck in the final stages of dissolution. Then the grace. of God took hold of him, and made of him a new creature in Christ Jesus. Peoria business men who believed in him started the Morning: Star Mission in that city and put him in as superintendent. Ten years have passed. He sends the writer the statistics for the last year with written comment on the margin. Conversions in the current year 447. Gospels and Testaments given out 672. free loaves of bread 1680. rail- road fare for 28 wayward boys and girls. free clothing to 293 individuals. free. meals to 1.122. and so on. The very success of the work diminishes the field of work. “Every year it be- comes less. When men find G. J, they become good citizens and self-supporting. In almost every walk of life in our city, I find men who praise our God and the Morning Star Mission for salvation.” Mr. Elwell, the murdered sportsman and roue. was some seventeen years before his death a member of the Tompkins Avenue tlongregational Church, Brooklyn. a clean-cut man and active in the life of the Christian community. Then he took to whist-playing, became an expert. drOppcd out of the church, won money gambling and playing the races. and passed finally into the outer darkness of a thortmghly corrupt life. “If I had been asked to pick out. a clean. Upright, man in the church when I was a student.” says Mr. Rocdcr. pastor of a Dutch Reformed church in Brooklyn. “I should have. pointed to Elwell as a model. Today he. has a record to make the most sephistieated New Yorker close his eyes and shake his head.” THE CHRISTIAN WARNING AGAINST VARIOUS MINOR views is often stigmatized as petty and unworthy.-â€"-“littlo pid- ailing prohibitions” was the characterization made in the Atlantic by a well-known railer at the church. But. their im- portance is now and then made clear by the lightning flashes of real life. THE GOSPEL GAVE A CHINESE GIRL, EDUCATED IN ONE of our Christian schools, such a marvelous perspective view that she refused a position in business that offered her a hun- dred yen a month to take a position at 30 yen in a Christian «'irphanage. A WRITER WAS TALKING, NOT LONG AGO, WITH A PRO- fessor of English literature in a Southern college belonging to the American Baptists. The professor indulged in the usual charges against those, who believe in the inspiration of the Bible and concluded what he had to say in calling the orthodox Christian a “mossback.” So the one to. whom he was speaking said: “Professor, you have been a bit critical of the Bible. Will you answer me two questions? Can you tell me any book in the Bible, in either the Old Testament or the New, which you feel could be left out without marring the completeness of the Bible?” He thought for a moment in silence, and then said: “No, I cannot.” Then his questioner asked: “With all your knowledge of literature that men have produced, can you think of any book that ever was written which deserves a place with the books of the Bible and ought thereafter to be bound up with them?” This was asked in view of a state- ment in a recent book by a theological professor that Tennyson, Whittier. Bryant. ShakeSpeare. Maeterlinck. Kepler, Darwin, Loeke. Phillips Brookes and William James might well be in- cluded in the Canon of Scripture. The man who was asked this question was- a: scholar familiar with what men of all time. in every land have written. He was silent for a moment, and then said: “No, I cannot.” The significance of these anwers is obvious. If on the authority of an able student of literature, nothing can be taken out of the Bible without marring it and nothing is needed from the outside to be added to it to make it complete. it was a clear indication that the Bible is to be. placed alone in a solitary position. while all the other books of the world are kept at a distance. It is not surprising that a newspaper recently told its readers that the Bible is the only book that is never off the press and the only book for which the demand is constant.

Thursday, May 6 and 7, and inter- viewed Mr. Scott, Deputy Super- intendent General, and Secretary McLean in regard to the claim of the Rama Indians to participate in the $115,000 timber dues now held by the Indian Department for tim- ber cut from Beckwith and Hope Islands in the Georgian Bay, and be- longing to the Christian Island groups. The Indian Department has treated these moneys as belonging solely to the Indians on the Geor- gian Islands, but Mr. Mulcahy found out that by a treaty signed in 1856, the Chippewa Indians living on the shores of Lake Huron. Simcoe and Couehiching surrendered all rights to timber with the exception of the .hristian Islands. As the Rama In- dians are the only Chippewas liv-‘ ing on these slmres in addition to the Chippewas on Christian Islands, they are clearly entitled to their share of this timber money. This] was a new angle to the officials of the Indian Department at Ottawa, and as a result of Mr. Muleahy’s visit, it is altogether liker that the Indians of Rama Reserve will re- ceive their share at this $115,000.‘ t‘lollingweod Bulletin. Universal 'has purchased for Hoot “The Ridin' Kid from Powder River,” a widely read novel by Henry Her- bert Knibbs, famous as a writer of Western fiction. The screen story will be a straight drama and the adaptation will be made by Edward Sedgwick and Raymond Schrock, the former director of Hoot in the six- teen pitcures he has made for Uni- versal, and the latter a member of Universal’s scenario statl‘. ‘ They have written a number of the stories in which Gibson has been starred, and nearly all of them have carried a big comedy element, including “Broadway or Bust.” By the provisions of the new schedule, Hoot will make only five pictures this fiscal production year.‘ All of them will be on a bigger scale than has heretofore been ac- corded the pictures in which he has appeared. This production plan in- cludes a couple of comedy dramas. “Broadway or Bust” pictures the story of two cowboys, one of whom becomes possessed of a fortune af- ter his sweetheart has thrown him over because she has become rich. The cowboys go to New York to show folks how to Spend mo iey, and they take their horses will them, up Broadway and into the most ex- clusive hotel in the city.

One thinks mournfully of the clos- ing of the little store, where, once we had learned to know the shop- keeper, we used to make excuse to go on coming up the hill from the business section. First it was for pen nibs in pretty tin boxes and for queer little ilve-cent Japanese dolls as souvenirs for country school children’s birthdayaparties, later for a skein or two of floss and later still to gratify the small daughter, who. though too shy to say a whole sentence to the lady behind the counter. never wanted to leave town without going “to see Miss Gun,” making excuse to buy a stick of chalk or of striped candy, or a pair of shoe laces.

There his son, 'James, continued to live and served his town ahd the sur~ rounding country as a physician, as did also his son'after him until the late war called him to overseas medical service. It was with the elder Dr. Gun that his sisters re- sided until about 30 years ago. when Miss Elizabeth opened a small store in Upper Town, which is now al- most exclusively a residential sec- tion in Durham. With her lived her, sister, Miss Artina, who for many vears was a mhmher of the Public School teaching staff in their home town and who nursed her sister dur- ing the weeks of the last illness of this, her lifelong companion. The have carried the remains of Miss lizabeth Gun out to the Dur- ham cemetery, where the well-kept grass is green again, and many feel the absence of her kindly spirit in the town. Then, remembering that the gentle lady had attained to her 82nd. year, they understand that her rest was earned and perhaps not unwelcome. She has gone out to a gladder spring even than this of ours.
