(iolnts to church la a habit, and a business and u pleasure and an edu cation and a help and a duty and a blessing Every man ought to lino something In this Hat that will hit him If he ha* a family, he can take ihe whole Hat to himself If he ha* any Intercat at all In the re*t of the world, he can take part of It. And if he doe* not think nhout anybody bui himself, h<* <an still find plenty of reason* In the list wITy ho should go There is no reason why the church should storm the citadel of a man * reason and conscience to Ret him t*> Ko to church, except the desire to do him Rood. The churches are getting on all rlßht without his support. They don’t absolutely need his money. Hut they want lo do him Rood. That is what they are here for. They ask him frankly to come and *ce what he can Rot out of It, not what they arc Roinß to ask him to put Into It. And any man oiißbt to he man enoUßh to ac cept that Invitation The trouble Is that most have an uncomfortable feeling that they will have to do something, not necessarily for ihe church, but for themselves. They know they are not doing right, and they don’t relish haring the church tell them so In a way that will make them want to change. But more and more they are com ing to see that the best thing to do Is to go. No man who goes is liable to be led astray. The church has a gospel that fits everybodj, and Is anxious to preach It. It Is a gospel for life and death, and every man will do himself and his family and hts friends and the rest of the world a service by going to hear U and by fixing up his life according to Its teachings.

Hud the French canal been completed It would now be out of (late, tor Its locks would not be of sufficient size to puss the boats that would now offer. "In 1912 Gatun had probably the greatest Influx of malarial mosquitoes in Its history. The sanitary depart ment determined to locate all the breeding places for mosquitoes near Gatun, catch mosquitoes at such place | and, after painting them, turn them loose and determine from the color of the mosquitoes caught In Gatun from what point they came. I went down there one morning to see how they were caught and painted. Mosquito hurs. tied up nt the bottom, were sus pended from limbs. They had thou sands of mosquitoes In them ready to be sprayed with a colored liquid and the sanitary Inspector was asked how he caught them. He said, We have a more scientific way, hut this had to be done In a hurry. We simply let the mosquito bar down, as you would open a bed, left one side of It open i and put a Jamaica negro In there for I bait.' As soon us the mosquito bar was full the halt was removed and the end tied up. I saw a Jamaica negro standing there. John, were you : the halt in that bar?' 1 asked, and he replied, ’Yes. boss; that Is the easiest money I ever earned -ten cents an hour for sitting there and doing noth ing hut Just inviting the mosquitoes STEALING CHILDREN Philadelphia Public Ledger. Whether s-M-ar-old Warren Mo- Carrli k wa* kidnapped or met death by accident or design in a matter of conjecture upon which city councils ami the police differ. The fact that the hoy la missing la enough to arouse a sympathetic Ititercat almost equal to that following the kidnapping of Charley Rons In Philadelphia a gen eration ago. nnd the .stealing of the Cudahy boy In Omaha by Pat Crowe more recently. No crime la more despicable titan this inhuman piracy which robs a homo of Its child for purposes of ex tortion. or other reasons. The KUl napper ta put down on crime's calen dar us an arch villain. A Hat of the children who disappear annually would make a chapter of tragedy In the history of any great city.
