An eight days' revival meeting has
Just closed at the It lieu Mills Mcllio-
'dist church. The pastor, the liev. K.
<>. Miller, did the preaching, lie if
j mighty -well pleased with the results
'obtained. Two services were held
'dally at which the attendance and
j interest were both excellent. The slng-
'Ing was entered into with spirit by
jtlii! local choir and others assisting. A
'number of conversions and accessions
were recorded. The whole member-
'ship was revived and the community
at largo received benefits in a general
religious uplift and inspiration tliut
resulted from the meeting. The pas-
tor of the Walnut drove i'reshyterlan
church near by, the Hev. C. S. liuaq
and Ills membership were fuithfui
attendants und helpers in the meet-
ing, as well as tho membership of oth-
er churches. A better fraternal feel-
ing was engendered by the meeting.
That the pastorate of the Hev. Mr.
Miller is meeting the approbation of
his people, was forcibly enforced
upon him at the close of the meeting
when he was surprised by the presen-
tation of a purse of 880.00 in token
of the appreciation and esleem in
which he is held by the llheu Mills
community. Tho Itev. Mr. Miller nev-
er fails in meeting the expectations of
his church and people. His long serv-
ice !n the ministry has demonstrated
that success crowns hjs work of
whutever nature ho is culled upon by
his church to perforin.

1 spotted him, by gracious, In the
twinklln' of an eyo,
Out of morc'n a thousand soldiera
when the Itlg Review went |jy;
Out of more durn men and horses und
artillery—why, say!
1 kuowed IiIin in it minute when
heard the first band play!
They wore mighty likt , tlleni young-
sters, lis they all swung down the
line,
l,ookin' straight ahead and keopln'
step and nuirehin' mighty fine,
lint I spotted liiui the minute he was
nigh enough to see,
And a kind of pleasant shiver coma
uiul run all over me.
If you'd asl me how I done it I don't
know as I could say,
lie was buttoned up some nouter and
his heud was purty high,
Just a little wee hit higher when he
went u-marcliln' by;
And ho stepped a little spryer, so It
sort o' seemed to me,
And he nover seemed to tire, but went
marchln' with a free
And a stlddy, smooth und swingin'
stride; they all looked mighty
fine.
Itut you couldn't holp but spot him
when they all come down the line.
They was Just a Httlo difference—
not much, I'm tree to say,
But they was a little difference—u lit-
tle In tho way
That ho held his head and shoulders,
and you might not hardly see
What It was, but I enn toll yon It was
plain as du.y to me.
Ho stood Just a little stralghter than
most anybody there,
Sort o' carried himself better and lilt
shoulders was more square,
And I couldn't help but notice how
durri trim he was and tall,
And he ketched the tunc and step a
little better than them all.
You don't have to take my Judgment;
1 might favor him, It's true,
Favor him among them others, as a
daddy's apt to do,
But his mother, she was with me, and
she says to me, says she;
"Jim looks trimmer, stralghter, taller
than the others seem to he,
And he marches on somo spryer and
his shoulders Is moro square,
And his hlouso Is buttoned slicker
than most anybody there!"
Which she soon the same us I did, and
was said before she heard
What. I thought when 1 first neon
him—anil corroborates my wordl

Take a word or two of kindness,
Season well with some good deed,
Add of charity a plenty,
And of hope a generous meed;
And if you will mold them rightly,
Which may be no easy thing.
You will ilnd you have a dainty
Fit to serve to any king.
Take a brimming pint of pationee,
And of faith an equal share,
Htir them thoroughly together
j In the crystal bowl of prayer;
Mix with those a cup of 'wisdom,
And a dash of scll'-control,
And 'tis yours to quench the craving
*>f a furnished tiumuii soul.
Take of happiness full measure,
From tho Oranury above,
Kncud the whole with inspiration,

And some duy you may be able
To supply, with gentle art,
All the bieud that is required

THD MANAGEMENT.
In an nrtlcle about his experiences
In tho trenches, a young boy says in
tho August American Mugaslnc:
"Once down on the Homme, thero
was a follow lighting by me. 1 was In
the Infantry then, and ho said to me,
I say! There's sump'n tho matter
with- my buck. Wlah you'd see what
It Is.'
"So I ran my hand up under his
tunic, und 1 could feel five bullets nn-
der tho skin. Felt Just llko a row of
marbles! A machine gun must have
swept him from some emplacement
we'd passed -without seeing It. He
could have quit, nil right, with flvo
bullets In him. But not on your life!
Ho went right ahead fighting, and
prettv soon he got It aguln, this time
in the Intestines.
"'Sump'n Is wrong again!' he said;
nnd he looked down at himself kind
of funny
"Itut ho didn't quit even then. He
kept on lighting all that day—till the
Job wc were on was iln'shtd!"
Not Bad.
Mother—I don't like tho looks of
that lltlle boy you were playing with
on the street today. Ton mustn't play
with b*d little boys, you know.
Bon—Oh, but he Isn't a bad little
hoy, mamma. He's a good little hoy.
He'a been to the reformatory school
twice and they've let him out ••g'1
time on account of good behavior.—

What Danger Can Do.
There Is an article In the AufflMt
American Mugaslne In which a writer
says:
"Hunger is Hie best teacher In tho
world. It can teach a boy to swim. It
i*uu make a inun out of a oarslsss
youth in a day. It can tranaforui a
timid woman Into a ruging lion. It la
the lest of human mettle. It la tho
developer of soula.
"Danger hns made the AmertOMI
people thrifty overnight. We have
subscribed for Liberty Loans of stag-
gering slae. Yet the amount of de-
posits In the livings banka haa not
decreased. What all our preaching
and warning could not do,
has done."
