SNAP SHOTS.
(By Rev. W. H. Faust.)
The average donkey is very
much disposed to refer to the
Zebra as an ex-convict, because
of his stripes.
The general run of churches are
supported by voluntary contribu
tions, but there are quite a few
whose contributions are absolute
ly involuntary.
This is an age when emphasis
is laid upon individualism rather
than uniformity, so the church
unionists are going to have hard
sailing.
The biggest fool in all the world
is the man who thinks* there is
no virtue in the other fellow’s
claims.
The church, now that it is con
tent to move on in the same chan
nels it has been occupying for 100
years, had as well write Ichabod
over its doors and shut up shop.
The attitude of the Y. M. C. A.
towards cigarettes is somewhat
unsettling the minds of some of
its euthusiastic admirers, but
time and wisdom will solve the
tobacco problem.
The Christian ministers who has
lost the art of praying has along
with it lost also the art of preach
ing.
Some people are so built up that
they would rather be great in a
small place than to be small in a
great place.
Heredity has much to do with
our beginning, but perservance
and common sense certainly settle
the end.
, It is sincerely hoped that God
h will love some others besides the
'■ cheerful contributors, otherwise
not many will be loved.
Some of us fogies think the war
did a great deal more towards
winning the cigarette than the
cigarette did towards winning the
war.
Maybe too many of our church
es have been turned into lunch
halls, lecture platforms, where
unions, leagues, circles, societies
have a secure abiding place.
Some women and men we know
of are sueing for divorces before
the parsons’ fee has been paid.
Maybe that’s pne of the causes.
The Great Cities —Berlin the
head of Kaiserism, Salt Lake
of Mormonism, Boston of Eddv
ism. The Lord help us from all
three isms.
So many of us have such pro
nounced and outstanding faults
that we should be charitably in
clined towards the sins of our fel
lows.
When a young man in the
country is willing to chop stove
wood for his oest girl to cook Sun
day Supper with, and the city lad
is willing to pay M 2 for roses for
his best girl, it’s a pretty sure
sign that they are going to stand
shortly before the parson.
Farmers have been having a
good time for the last three
months, but now they will have
to go to work like the other labor
ers of us.
When a church or city or indi
vidual begins to become content
ed with its achievements it is
about time for the undertaker.
When an obstreperous preacher
offends you can move him, but
when an obstreperous member be
gins to perform—the Lord have
mercv on the church.
Silences the Buzzing.
An attachment for telephone receiv
ers which silences nil the buzzing,
whirring and jarring noises has been
Invented by a Dutch engineer.

“Y” ENTERTAINERS
* NEEDED IN FRANCE
While certain branches of the wort
the National War Work Council ol
the Y. M. C. A. has been doing for som
time are being curtailed, one typo ol
service Is being called upon for more
co-operation than ever before. Air
though for some time there have been
approximately 400 to 500 entertainers
in France, many difficulties have sur
rounded this type of service and the
thousands of shows which have been
given in France have only been put
over in spite of almost superhuman
difficulties. Now, however, with the
period of demobilization forcing upon
the Army new problems has a real
spirit of co-operation been shown by
the Army authorities. Therefore, Gen
eral Pershing has detailed Colonel
Kelly, from his own Staff, to act as
entertainment officer for the A. E. F.,
which position places him as the liai
son officer between the Army and the
“Y” Entertainment Bureau in Paris.
Theatres and large buildings are be
ing taken over, mechanics supplied by
the Army are putting them into opera
tion and the “Y" Is producing shows,
given by soldier talent alone, and also
dramatic and vaudeville performances
and miscellaneous musical programs,
the personnel of all of which must be
recruited from this country.
Owing to the large number of men
In the Army with entertainment abil
ity, no effort Is being made to send
men from this side. Women, however,
are wanted for these positions in large
numbers. 125 must be sent out from
this country every month, which will
require the co-operation of every re
cruiting agency throughout the coun
try. All entertainers are supplied with
uniforms, Life, Accident and Health
Insurance, transportation, and allow
1150.00 per month for living expenses
In France.
The women should be preferably be
tween the ages of 23 and 30, neat and
attractive and possessed of a pro
nounced ability In their particular Una.
The field for entertainment now
reaches from the coast towns In
Franee right up and into Germany, for
while the "Y” cannot do much with
the Army of Occupation In the way of
Canteen, It can supply entertainment
and is doing so on an increasingly
large scale. Information may tfe ob
tained from W. C. King, Peters Build

Steam Against Sails.
Modern naval development may be
said to have begun with the rapid In
crease in the size of ships which took
place at the close of the fifteenth cen
tury; and mediaeval history finally
closed with the battle of Lepanto In
1571, the last great action in which
rowing galleys played on Important
part. From this time the sail-pro
pelled inan-of-war was gradually Im
proved until early In the nineteenth
century, when sails began to give way
to steam.
