SOCIAL. * * * *.. *... 4 - 4 * *k Cradle Roll Entertainment. The Cradle Roll entertainment at the Associate Reformed Presbyterian chiurehi on the evening~ of September . 1908. was surely the most unqiue affair of the kind that has been had in the city. Mrs. M.

The lit tle babes of the church, and all their schools of this county, was the chief motheis, fathers, urcles, aunts and cousins, and all the junior members of the Sabbath school were present. The exercises consisted of prayer by Dr. D. G. Phillips, singing the Bible songs, a welcome address by the superintendent, Dr. F. C Joites, and an address by Mrs. M. A. Carlisle, explanatory of the working of the Cradle Roll and primary department, of the Sabbath school, with a history of the work accomplished by the Cradle Roll. She showed that t'he method Qf placing all the names of the infants on the Cradle Roll with their birth, and at the age of three years graduating them into the class, had accomplished much good. and had been the means of drawing the moth ers and fathers into the church. Since its adoption,. forty three babes have been enrolled, and all but thir teen have .been admitted into the pri mary classes, and. these remained on it, only one has died. The names of seven were enrolled that day. After these exercises, all were in cited to the beautiful lawn, under the oaks in the rear of the church, where delicious ice cream and cakes were served. The most enjoyable affair was participated in by all present, and will be long remembered by those who were present. A Cradle Roll button was pinned b-v the committee on each member. and all the parents had a beautiful souv enir of the day presented to them. Each member also received a certifi cate of membership.

A enb rep)orter in a small city m the westernvi pa rit of N .r k State :oveed a poiSition~ (in a (.eia in Newv ork paper. Somehow the chances of retting on that paper's excluive stafft seemed mnighty few. But one day his citv editor told ham to gto down to he .railroad station, see Lord Charles Peresford, who was to wait there a1 ittle time between trains. and get an: nterviewv from him. The boy wasj1 :outry bred, and Beresford was little more than a name to him. But he I hd an hour to spare before he w~ouldJ have to be at the depot. and that hour was spent in a librar.y reading~ of the iht before Alexand'ria and of revolv ng guns in the Sudan. When he reaehed Beresford at the ailroad depot .he found the rear ad ~niral very gracious and obliging and eady .to fill him with much praise of the country in whiole and that part of the country in particular. The boy took copious notes, then closed his ook with a bang and a smile.' "That's all good stuff, Lord Beres-] ord" said he'but it's what every single one of you Englishmen tell us when you get over here. I want some real news." 'Real news?" was the response. 'If you wsmld a.nswer a single real uestion for me it mighlt put me on y feet and make a big journalist of The big man smiled at the boy. "Ask me the one question. Let me I ee what it is.'' he said. T. was at the time oIf the earliest troubles in t he far eat "Why (did yon change you'rdpans and nmot go to Porit Arthur ?'' he was asked. 4 "'But that's a diplomatic question a.nd not to be a.nswered," he renlied. "The very reason why it is real news," pressed the boy. "The foreign office at London re quested me not to go there," said Beresford as he hurried back into his train. The boy kept his secret to1 himself, wrote his conventional initer view with Beresford for the paper' that employed him, tihen wired Beres ford's answer to his real question as1 n exelusive feature for the New York paper. That.paper put it in its eable service and sent Beresford 's answer to the country .reporter's question] swinging around .the civilized world. Then it sent for the boy himself and1 put him on his feet.
