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.

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.

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.
