I had one most beautiful time which was after your own heart. It began to be light, and after spending some time half out of the window hearing one bird tune up after another, I half dressed myself and went out and stay ed until it was bright daylight. I went up the street and out into the garden, where I bad a beautiful time, and was neighborly with the hop-toads and with a joyful robin who was sit ting on a corner of the barn, and I became very intimate with a big poppy which had made every arrangement to bloom as soon as the sun came up. There was a bright little waning moon over the hill, where I had a great mind to go, but there seemed to be difficul ties. as I might be missed, or some body might break into the house where I had broken out. —From “A Little Book of Friends’’ by Harriet Prescott Spofford. Shrewd Fox. Ur. Morgan in his book on the beaver gives the following instance on what he assures us is excellent au thority: “A fox one night entered the henhouse of a farmer, and after de- ; stroylng a large number of fowls, j gorged himself to such rbplet'on that I he could not pass out through the ' small aperture by which he had en- j tered. The proprietor found him in ■ the morning sprawled out upon the floor apparently dead from surfeit: and taking him by the legs carried hiwi out unsuspectingly, and for some dis tance to the side of his house, when* ho dropped him upon the grass. No sooner did Reynard find h’niself free than he sprang to his feet and made his escape.”—S. J. Holmes. “I like a man who writes a legible hand,” said Mr. Blinkinton, ‘‘and 1 should be inclined to trust a man who wrote his signature so plainly that it was unmistakably clear In each and every letter. ‘‘The best letter of recommendation that I could receive for a young man would be one written by himself In which each and every word. Including his signature, was absolutely legible and clear, the signature being of es pecial importance. An older man might perhaps be pardoned for slur ring his signature; a famous man might write a signature that was quite undecipherable in itself, but that was known because it was asso ciated with him in the public mind, but a young man or a man publicly unknown should write his name so that it can be read. “An absolutely clear signature means that the writer of it likes his own name and is ready to stand back of it and that he wants you to know it without possibility of mistake. “When I see a signature like that I feel that the writer of it is stand ing up like a man and looking me fair and square In the eye. I feel that I know where to find him and that I can trust him. A young man could have very few characteristics or hab its more helpful to him than that of ' writing an absolutely plain signa ture.” AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.

At the same time it was urged that the Sun day schools be requested to devote the last Sunday in November to enlarging the fund by their collections on that day. The convention was asked to direct that the annuity fund shall become operative from July 1, 1919, and that it be put on a 30 per cent, basis on and after September 1, if possible. The board in its annual report, which was submitted by Dr. William Lunsford, of Dallas, Tex., its secre tary, showed that its first year’s work had t een devoted largely to organiz ing, emphasis being laid upon the re lief feature, helping worthy minis ters who are in need. For years this work has been carried on by the dif ferent state organizations of the con vention, but it has never even half way met the needs. The new board sought to have all the states turn over this work to it. Texas, Tennes see. Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Ala gama, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas and New Mexi co have agreed and are raising money to carry on the work. The boaid hopes to have not less than $75,000 from this source by the end of the year. It is hoped that in the near future not less than S2OO a year will be paid to every beneficiary under the fund. In many cases the sums paid the old ministers has been increased about 25 per cent. Much attention has been given to perfecting a system of annuities which enables the ministers to themselves provide in part for the day of their retirement. The maximum benefits of this fund are SSOO a year for life for men of sixty-eight years who have served in the Baptist ministry for thirty years. Disabled ministers, of whaiever age, shall be paid a disa bil ty benefit of S2O plus $2 a year for each year of service over five ac tively spent at work in the ministry. .This is what he receives on his own payments.

A maximum of three-fifths of ’he an- I unity which her husband was receiv ing, is to be paid to every minister’s widow, or, if There be no surviving widow, divided among the depend ent children. The board has figured that the minister’s own [layments will provide one-fifth of the maximum an nuities and the gifts from the churches will, swell the total annuity to the maximum amount. During the past year 130 members have teen secured for the annuity fund. The board asked the convention to ■ make a change sp that tha minimum ! disability benefit of every member of the fund will be SIOO ani not S2O for the first five years’ service, and $2 a j ear for every additional year of sfc ,- vice. Figures of similar funds of other denominations show that a year ago the Protestant churches had in their treasuries $33,000,000 for preachers’ pensions and they are now working to bring the sum up to $75,- I 000,000. The Episcopal church has I $8,500,000 and the Northern Metho dists $12,000,000. Last year they paid , out to retired ministers, their widows: and orphans $1,265,000. The North-1 ern Baptists have $2,000,000. The | Congregationalists have $1,800,000' and are now at work to raise an addi-1 tional $5,000,000. The Southern Meth odists had $1,200,000. There are today in he Southern Baptist convention between 8,000 and 9,000 pastors, a large majority of whom are receiving very modest sal-' aries. The board is seeking to inter est the churches in the work of car ing for their ministers in their de clining years.
