Harvesting Then and Nov.
Another reason wby the blessing
ibonld not have been given to the (Jen
tiles was that It was to b a bnrvetttlni:
work, and not plowing, harrowing, nor
owing. It was appropriate, therefore,
that the Harvest, wblcb belonged to
tb Jews, should be confined to them.
What was done for the Gentiles wn
th seed-sowing, as represented In the
parable of the Wheat and Tares.
lo tb Harvest of the Gospel Age th
reaping Is to be don amongst those
who have received the seed-sowing.
This is an Intimation to us that the
Lord would now bav tbe harvesting
don chiefly amongst tbose who profess
to b Ills people
Jesus specially Instructed the reapers
of that Harvest that they should go
forth trusting to Divine providence.
They were not commissioned to beg
nor to take np collections. They ns
somed therefore that they were mere
ly to accept what might be voluntarily
tendered. If tbey were not hospitably
received they were to consider It the
Lord's will that they go elsewhere.
Tbcy were sent to search out the
worthy ones: tbey should keep this In
mind.
"Mor Tolerabl For Sodom."
Jesus declared that In the Day of
Judgment it will be more tolerable for
Sodom and Gomorrah than for the
city refusing to receive His representa
tives. This Implies that the treatment
will be tolerable; but why more toler
able for Sodom and Gomorrah and oth
ers In the Day of Judgment?
was Jesus' declaration that, aside
from a saintly few who received His
Message gladly, the remainder were
more blameworthy In God's sight than
were tbe people of Sodom and Gomor
rah. The sins of Sodom were certainly
grievous in tbe sight of God, but the slo
of carelessness In respect to the glori
ous Message of the Kingdom is in God's
iv. . sight an indication

"Yes?" The teacher was noncom

"It Is very unfortunate for children
to be held back, and he Is getting
to be such a big boy; he Is really
very sensitive about It."
"I quit agree with you; It Is
very unfortunate, and I would like
to promote i'cter If I could, Hut I
don't do the promoting."
"Oh, Is that so? I thought the
matter was entirely In your 'hand.
Whom must I see? Who doea the

"The children do all the promot
ing; you will tiave to see l'eter."
"WhBt do you mean?"
"I mean thut the promoting la not

all through the year by tbe pupilM,

nothing but play. You know I have
written to you several times during
the term asking you to conic and

"Yes, I know, but I liave been
so busy that I simply couldn't find
the time to come."
"Well, I have done all that I
know how to do, not only for Pe
ter but for all the children as well
and I will do all I can for them al
ways;' "but those who depend upon
me to do the promoting are going
to be disappointed."
Next June there will be hundreds
and thousands of mothers who will
go to hundreds and thousands of
teachers and say: "I hope you are
going to promote Peter."
Would It not be more sensible
for them to go now, while there is
still plenty of time to hunt for caus
es and to apply remedies, and say to
the teachers: "Is Peter doing what
he can to promote himself?"

In the daily half-hour confidential
talk with his boy an ambitious Lon
don father tried to give some ad
vice. "Ba observing, my son," said the
father on one ocaslon. "Cultivate
the habit of seeing, and you will be
a successful man. Study things and
remember them. Don't go through
the world blindly. Learn to use
your eyes. Boys who are observant
know a great deal more than those
who are not."
Willie listened In silence.
Several days later, when the en
tire family, consisting of his moth
er, aunt and uncle, were present,
his father said;
"Well, Willie, have you kept us
ing your eyes as I advised you to
do?"
Willie nodded, and after a mo
ments' hesitation, said:
"I have seen a few things about
the house. Uncle Jim's got a bot
tle of hair dye hid under his bed,
Aunt Jennie's got an extra set of
teeth In her dresser, ma's got some

Hury Voice of Klnger.
Manchester Guardian.
The voice museum, which was offl
daily Inaugurated In the basement
of the Opera by Pedro Gallhnrd In
1907, has received another year's
addition to Its voice records of the
best singers who have been heard
nt the Paris Opera and elsewhere,
and also some other records that
will be of value for the history of
music. The ceremony, which has
now become an annual one, was pre
sided over by Leon Berard, Under
Secretary of State for fine arts.
The museum consists of phono
graphic disks, carefully wrapped In
asbestos and covered with glass,
which for greater protection are pla
ced separately In hermetically seal
ed metallic boxes, from which the
air is exhausted. The boxes are
placed In rows on shelves in the
vaults, and when each shelf is full
the front of the vault is walled up.
Tbe disks are not supposed to be
opened for 100 years. The singer's
name and a detailed Instruction as
to how to use the disk are placed
Inside each box. The first disk
placed In the vaults included the
voices of such singers as Tamagno,
Scottl, Mme. Calve, Adeline Patti,
Schumann-Heink and a piece exe
cuted by Kubelik.. The disks ad
ded to this year's collection the
voices of the tenor Franz, Caruso,
Amato, Mme. Sembrich, Geraldlne,
Farrar, Bessie Abbott, Tetrazlnnl
and a piano piece by Paderewskl.
The ceremony although It was de
scribed as a "burial of th volcea,"
had nothing funereal about It. The
many visitors present enjoyed a
speech by a well-known Parisian ac
tor and manager, M. Gemier, de
livered by the phonograph.
Dripping Water Kills Babe.
New York, Aug. 28. Water drip
ping through the celling killed a 3-month-old
baby in its crib early to
day as its .parents slept beside it.
The child was William, the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Barber, 64
South Sixth street, Williamsburg.
Mr. Barber was awakened early
this morning by a sound of drip
ping water. He got up and turned

Mrs. Barber was awake by this
time, and he picked up the child
Its face was cold. She cried out in
alarm and tried to revive it. Her
husband donned some clothes and
ran to the police station.
A doctor was called, who pro
nounced thei child dead. , :

"Walter's playmate was the son of
a Baptist preacher. The 'kid had

was anxious to Imltatei them! So the

Curious Trout ment of ;urt. j
New Y'ork Press. '
On of the most striking customs
of the past that ar presented by
the Indians of today Is found among
the tribes ou theDevIl Lake Reser
vation In North Dakota. According
to the report of an officer of the
Indian Bureau, th Devil's Lak
Sioux 'have from time Immemorial
adhered to a curious custom in re
gard to th treatment of a guest.
According lo their etiquette It Is
th boundeii duty of the host to sup
ply his guest, with all th food he
may desire, and as a rul th ap
portionment set before th visiting
Indian Is much in xce of th ca
pacity of a single man. Hut by the
sam custom th guest Is obliged tc
eat all that Is placed before him
else he grossly Insults his entertain
er. It was found that this practice
would work a hardship, but instead
of dispensing with the custom the In
dlan method of reasoning was ap
plied, and what Is known as the
professional eater was brought to
the front.
While the guest Is supposed to
eat all that 1 placed before him,
It serves the same purpose If his
neighbor assists In devouring the
bountiful repast, th main object
being to have the plate clean when
the meal is finished. It Is not al
ways practicable to depend upon a
neighbor at table to assist In get
ting away with a large dinner, and
In order to Insure the final consump
Hon of the alloted portion, visiting
Ipdlans call upon these professional
citers, whose duty It Is to sit be
side them throughout a meal and
eat what the guests leave.
The professional enters are never
looked upon In the light of guests,
but more as traveling companions
wth a particular duty to perform.
These eaters receive from $1 to $2,
and even $3, for each meal where
they assist. It Is said that one of
these professional eaters has been
known to dispose of 17 pounds of
beef at a sitting.
