of the world to the facts all about us The
that people who do not wish to remain

between those places located on the

It is high time that people who hear
the name Christion awake from sleep.
To be Christian indicates in profession
at least. to believe in and practice the
teaching of Christ if he were in South
Norwclk in person. what think ye
would be‘ the state of affairs as regards
the church. .
The crowds would still go the broad-
way that endeth in death. The multi-
tudes would still turn deaf ears to his
pleadings. perhaps. But there would
be an open- -doored house and heart
which would give place for the spend-
ing of an evening in ways that would
make for life.
excuse.
Does not this thrust upon Christian
people the great need of our city.
Some place with a wholesome. moral
uplifting atmosphere.p open all reason-
able hours. into which the young as
well as the older men. and women as
well. of our city and the strangers
within our gates may go to spend a
social hour with others of social ill-
clination. Let those who claim to be
the followers of Jesus. like Jesus. do
good. and meet the need as thus indi-
cated.
Let our churches throw wide their
doors. Suppose the crowds do not
come. Make the few or many. as the
case may be. welcome. Give to those
who love or want such things. a chance
to hear and know. in business a de-
mand is often created for an article.
Cannot the same thing be done for the
saving love of God in Christ Jesus.
Cannot Christian professors no pattern
after their Lord and so reflect the
light of his love in their good works
and Godly character that people who
now are thoughtless In regard to'these
things may be led to glorify God and
believe in His Christ. Oh! for more
of the seal of the Master! Souls are
being lost through indifference. Many
through lack of knowledge of these
things. All hale sinned. All apart
from Christ are lost because of sin.
Yet all may be saved by faith in His
name. Let our church go into the
"Father's business" of soul-saving.
and be at it on business principles and
time. and many will be saved who'oth’
e‘rwise will be lost.

CAPTI‘RED A SHARK.
And Found In Its Capricious Maw a Pa-
per Addressed to Himself.
“One afternoon. when we were in
the Indian on." said the captain. "I
noticed a sh rk swimming round the
ship. and I didn‘t like it a bit. You
know the superstition to the effect that
a following shark presagea the death
of one of the ship's company. He sail-
ed round us all the next day and the
next day after. and l determined to
catch him and quell my uneasiness.
We baited a hook and after a short
time captured and killed him. Then
we cut him up. Do you know what we
found In that shark's inside? No?
Well. a newspaper unopened. and it
will surprise you. as it did me, when
i tell you that it was addressed to me.“
A about of great‘laughter went up
from the captain's audience. who wink-
ed at. each other unblushingiy. Ho.
however. took all the hunter! Lin good
part. and when the jeers w r ended
he said:
”Now. gentlemen. I'll tell you how it
happened. I found that my children
h‘sd been skylarking the day before in
the cabin. They found among the mass
of reading that had been brought
aboard. some unopened newspapers ad-
dressed to me. They had been throw-
ing these newspapers at each other. and
one of them went out of thc porthole.
The shark saw it. of course. and gob«
bled it down. and that was how it hap-
pened. Now. gentlemen. judge for
yourselves the truth of my story."--
