"I want a job!”
The head of the electric lighting con
cern looked up from his desk and saw
a gangling boy of 17 facing him with
a look of quiet, respectful determina
tion that curried conviction.
"But I haven't any position that you
could possibly (ill, and right now I'm
so driven that — ”
"I want a job,” interrupted the boy
with an odd smile that didn't detract
from the serious determination of his
genial expression, "and I'm willing to
work six months without a cent of
pay.”
"Well, that's rather a new one,” ex
claimed the owner of the lighting plant.
"But—”
Tho boy wuh looking for that "But”
and caught it on the fly.
"You sen it’s this way, sir” he inter
rupted. "I’ve just finished at the
manual training school. I' ve made up my
mind that electric lighting's the thing
for me and that I’m going to ht started
in it. It has a future, and 1 want to
understand it and make it my line.”
His eye was kindling with enthusiasm
when the man at the desk opened with
another, “But -"
He didn’t get nn inch beyond tho de
pressing qualification, for tho boy shot
into the sentence with:
"I'll work for nothing and keep just
as careful hours as your foreman or
anybody else on y.tur pay roll. You’ve
got a good plant, sir, and 1 can see
that it's hound to grow a lot in the
next three years, Tlertrie lighting has
just started. It’s the best business to
get into in the world, and I’m going to
learn it from the ground up. I want a
job with you. No pay for six months.”
"But 1 don’t see how I can possibly
use you," responded the man of the
plant. “Although I'm bound to suy
that 1 like your grit, and I think you
are on tho right track - and ”
"Just give mu the job,” cut in the
hoy, "and I’ll find something to do that
will help you. There's always work
around a plant like yours that a hoy
who’s hud a little technical training
can find to do work that needs to he
done. Here are some references from
my instructor and two or three busi
ness men who know mo."
"Look here," suddenly interrupted
the man at the desk, "you certainly do
want a job. And you're going to get
it. 1 can see that right now. I'll give
you a letter to the superintendent.”
When, n fortnight later, he called at
Ibis plant, the foreman remarked:
"Suy, that lioy you sent up here’s
the oddoBt duck you ever saw. He
takes his job just as hard as if he were
drawing profits or my salary instead of
working for nothing n week and paying
his own car fare.
"Why, his aunt died tho other day
and he didn’t come for two days; hut he
sent a substitute and paid him out of
his own pocket, lie’s (he first man on
the job in the morning and the last to
leave at night. From the minute he
gets hero till he leaves lie's us busy as
a hoy nt a circus. That hoy is certain
ly fond of his jib."
A few weeks later the hoy spoke to
the man who hid given him a job.
“A little testing department would
save you money,” said the boy. "and
it would not cost much, either. You
and I've found out that some of it isn't
up to the standard. They’re working
considerableotT on you."
"How much would it cost?" asked
the owner of the plant.
Instantly the boy drew from his
pocket a list of every item needed in
the equipment of the testing labora
tory.
He had it all ready waiting for the
question.
“Get it and go ahead,” said theman,
after he had glanced over the li.'.t.
The laboratory was installed and
saved the business a neat sum of money.
The day the hoy’s gratuitous service
was up he appeared again at the pro
prietor's desk and said, "My time is up,
sir. ”
"But you stay,” was the quick ans
wer, "and the salary you get is going
On Being Engaged.
Scrlhnor'H Mutfiulnc.
Moat of the novelists—at least, most
of the novelists who deal in lustrous-
eyed heroines, and in heroes running
from "a little over middle stature” to
"Bix feet of manhood”—try to create
tho impression that the period of
matrimonial engagement is a pleasant
one. It isn’t. It never was—at least,
not to any properly constituted human
being. And why on earth should it be
pleasant, and to whom should it he
pleasant?
Let us tako the case of the engage
ment of John .Smith and Mary Jones.
Their wedding day is fixed. It is six
monthB olT, let us say. Now, do you
expect John Smith to he happy? It is
true that he has the promise of his
heart's desire, but a promise is one
thing and a certainty another. The
only certainty ho has is that it will be
six months sure and certain before he
gels his heart’s desire; and during those
six months he has got to see his heart's
desire every day. and to curse each day
that comes along before his wedding
day. Also he has got to put in six
months of solid reflection upon his own
capabilities for supporting a wife, and
possibly three or four yuunger persons.
Ami as for Mary Jones, her situation
is even more uncomfortable. By all
the laws of affection she is John’s
ownest own, and yet in reality she isn't
anybody’s own—not even her own self's
own. Her parents have relinquished
their claim to her just enough to en
able them to go about looking as
though she had deserted them in a
snowstorm to run away with a dis
believer in revealed religion, and they
must keep enough authority over her
to be as mean as conscientious parents
can he when they get an opportunity.
And few people can he meaner than a
truly conscientious parent.
Remember that the host friend, the
tho best confidant, is your mother.
Have no friend with whom she is not
acquainted. Make her interested in
what you are doing, and if the trials
of her life are many, just remember
that to gain sympathy you must give
it. Make yourself your mother's com
panion and friend, then she will be
yours. Do nothing that you conceal
from her, and never believe for a min
ute that when you have really made her
understand she will not care for what
| interests you. Mother isn't very much
1 older than you, after all. It hasn’t been
such a long time since she enjoyed
1 just what you do, since life seemed as
full of brightness as does yours, since
she made as many inquiries atul tried
to think out as many problems as you
do, and once you two can meet on this
! common ground, be sure that you will
have nobody who will as thoroughly
sympathize with you as does your
mother.

L McKOY.
On April 25, 1915, our Heavenly Fath
er, in liis all wire providence, took
from us our dear friend and sister,
Mth J. L. McKoy. She was horn Sept.
14, 1857; was married to Mr. McKoy
Dec. 13. 1877. In August. l v 7ri, she
joined the Baptist clurch at New Leb
anon and was baptized by her pastor,
Rev W. W. Kelly. We rejoice that her
innocent and spotless life bequeaths to
us the blessed consolation of the Chris
tian hope which assures us that her
spirit will forever shine with the an
gels. Her gentle and kind disposition,
her constancy in friendship, and many
virtues combined, made her a treasure
on earth, while her love for Jesus we
feel sure makes her an angel in heaven.
We feel that in her death we have lost
another good sister. She was a true
and loving wife, and a kind and affec
tionate mother. She willingly and de
votedly gave her life for her husband
and children. She leaves a husband
and five children, and a host of friends
to mourn her departure. Therefore, be
it resolved--
1. That we extend our deep sympa
thy to the family in their hour of be
reavement.
2. That, a copy of these resolutions
he sent to the family of the deceased,
and also placed on our church record to
her memory. B. V. Davis,

MRS. ELIZA BEVIS.
On the morning of April 12, 1915, af
ter an illness of several weeks, the life
of Sister Eliza Bevis, as peacefully as
one falling into a sweet sleep, passed
from ear.h to the higher life of the
glorified. She was brought under relig
ious training, and while young gave her
heart to Christ and herself to His
church. She was familiarly known
among her many friends, both young
and old, as "Aunt Eliza," and her name
was never mentioned by anyone know
ing her true worth except with rever
ence and affection. Through all the
years of her faithful and consistent
membership with Elim church no hearts
turned with greater joy to the house of
God, and no soul with a deeper satis
faction in tho sacred hour of worship.
As members of Elim church we now
tenderly express our grief for the loss
of our sister. Therefore, be it re
solved—
1. That we accept this loss sent by
Him who "docth all things well."
2. That the memory of her life among
us and the influence of her example
may he used to the strengthening and
broadening of our usefulness in the
Master's work.
3. That these resolutions bo spread
on our church book and a copy sent to
the bereaved family.
Respectfully submitted,
S. M. Wortham,
J. T. Cash,
Committee.
MRS. DONIA LUCKIE.
The Death Angel has again visited
our midst and called from us one of our
beloved members, sister Donia I.uckie.
She was born Nov. 15, 1855; was mar
ried to John Luckie in 1872. Five chil
dren blessed this union. Her life was a
blessing to her community, and she was
ever ready to lend a helping hand to
the poor and needy. By our loss heaven
has gained another bright jewel. It
grieved us to give her up, but may we
ever say as she did, “God’s will be
done." She was stricken with pneumo
nia and lived but a few days, passing
away March 21, 1915. We shall not
mourn for her. She is not lost, but has
gone to a land where pain and sorrow
are unknown. To the children and
grandchildren we would say, heaven is
brought nearer since mother is there.
Live the Christian life she did and some
day you will meet her again. There
fore, be it resolved —
1. That in the death of Sister Luckie
Elim church has lost one of its most
influential members.
2. That the memory of her cheerful
and faithful Christian life remain with
us. an inspiration to our church and
community.
3 That we extend to the bereaved
children and other relatives our deepest
sympathy, and the comforting hope of
eternal life.
4 That these resolutions be spread
on our church book, and a copy sent to
the family. Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. M. D. Millians,
C C. Grimes,

In Memory of Mrs- W. H. Miller.
Mrs. Sophia Elizabeth Miller, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Waltom, was
born Feb. 7, 1859. She was twice mar
ried, her first husband being Mr. El
bert Drake, with whom she lived for a
number of years. Her second marriage,
in April, 1911, was to Mr. W. H. Mil
ler.
She and I were horn and
each other; consequently I
her all her life,
first school she
RESPECT. She wes the oldest of nine children.
When sh" was about 12 years of age
she and a girl friend of hers about the
same age spent the night with a
preacher’s family. Of course, he had
family prayer. It impressed them very
much, and they talk' d atnut it after j
retiring and how they wished their
fathers would have prayer at night. So
much for th? influence of family prayer.
Her Christian life was beautiful,
from its beginning to its close; hence
she reared her own monument while
sh - * lived in the hearts of those who
knew her. She was always ready to
help in time of need. She was never
blessed wi h children of her own, but
mother love was a strong trait in her
character. Her step-children had in her
a faithful mother, and now that she is
gone they call her blessed. Her neigh
bors had only to know her to love and
appreciate her. Although Bhe had a
large share of cares and troubles in her
efforts to help, she was unusually
cheerful. I feel that when I have said
the best things possible I still have not
revealed all her virtues. She was loyal
to her church and pastors. She not
only professed the religion of Christ,
and joined the church, hut manifested
her faith in her Lord by a Christian
life. She taught a class in Sunday-
school at Mt. Gilead, and when she
moved to Moreland she taught a class
there for a number of years, and then
at Bethel for four years.
1 was thrown with her many times,
in sadness and joy. I remember so
many kind deeds of hers, having known
her life. Of a genial disposition, she
was greatly beloved by her kindred,
and esteemed by her many friends.
May her mantle of sacrifice and service
fall on some of her loved ones. It is not
how long we live, but how well we live.
1 think her eager attention and ready
responsiveness to the preaching of the
gospel must have been an inspiration to
the preachers she listened to.
Her health had been failing for sev
eral months, hut was not considered se
rious. Not a doubt concerning her fu
ture troubled her;—said "Bhe was
ready and willing to die.” Thus we
have a sketch of a life not so long, but
one whose good influence is felt at
home and abroad, having given a part
of her substance and prayers to heathen
lands, as well as at home.
I extend sympathy to her loved ones,
and trust that He who stilled the temp-
test on the Sea of Galilee may speak
peace to their sorrowing hearts. In the
silent hours of the night she passed
away on July 1, 1915. Her pastor con
ducted the services, and she was laid to
rest at Pitts’ cemetery to await the
resurrection. A. P. C.

The occasion was the regimental ball.
The band was there, and the palms and

lovely.
But in one corner, behind a beautiful
rampart of palms, the young lieu
tenant and the colonel’s daughter were

Suddenly an intruder appeared—the

Pierce’s Favorite Prescription as a most
excellent medicine to meet all of the
conditions of diseases of womankind.
I can testify from my own experience.
I suffered from nervous debility, which
affected me to such a measure that I
often had to lie down to quiet my ex
cited nerves. The irritated nerves also
kept me awake many a night. I did
not eat enough to sustain my body,
and grew weaker. To add to my
affliction I had spasmodic pains in
neck, shoulders, and in my back. The
use of the ‘ Favorite Prescription ’
worked a gratifying change, I am
grateful for the renewed health I re

as well rewarded in taking it.” — Mrs.
