Cr088 1111, Sept. 13.-Thursday of
last week Pastor J. A. Martin bap
tized 19 converts into fellowship with
Bethabara church. These people
we're brought to a saving knowledge
of Christ during a meeting held a
week before in which Rev. Guy Mar
tin, a son of the pastor (lid most ol
the preaching. Young Mr. Martin is
an earnest worker and consecrated
minister and his preaching at MMth
bara was especially strong and full of
the spirit of love for the salvation of
the 1dst. Several of those baptized
Thursday were married people, some
of whom had experienced many years
of the worldly or sinful life. It was
a good meeting and the church and
pastor rejoice at the progress of the
saving gospel amillong them.

SCHOOLMASTER'S ASSERTION
WAS NEVER VERIFIED.
True or Not, However, it Had the Ef.
fect of Making Culprits Own Up
to Guilt and Take the
Consequences.
Describing the lighter side of
school life, Ian Hay, the Scotch novel
tst, tells of a schoolmaster,who called
his boys together.
"A very unpleasant and discredit.
able thing has happened," he said.
"The municipal authorities have re.
cently erected~ a pair of extremely
ornate and expensive lampposts out
side the residence of the mayor of the
town.
"Those laiii)ostn appear to have
attracted the unfavorable notice of
the school.
"Last Sunday evening, between
seven and eight .o'clock, they were at
tacked and wrecked, apparently by
volleys of stonle."
There was a faint but appreciative
murmur from those members of the
school to whom the news of this out
rage was now made public for the
first time. But a baleful flash from
the schoolmaster's spectacles re
stored instant silence.
"Several parties of boys." he con
tinued, "must have passed these lami)
posts on that evening, on their way
back to their respective houses after
chapel. I wish to see all boys who
In any way participated in tile out
rage in my study directly after second
school. I warn them that I shall make
a severe example of them."
His voice rose to a blare.
"I will not have the prestige and
fair fame of the school lowered in the
eyes of the town by the vulgar bar
barities of a parcel of ill-conditioned
little street boys. You may go!"
The audience rose to their feet and
began to steal silently away. But
they were puzzled. The Old Man was
no fool, as a rule. Did lie really iniag
Ine that chaps would be such mugs
as to own lip?
But before the first boy reached
the door the head spoke again.
"I may mention," lie added very
gently, "that the attack upon the-er
lampposts was witnessed by a gentle
man resident in the neighborhood, a
warm friend of the school. He was
able to i(entify one of the culprits,
whose name is in my possession. That
is all."
And quite enough, too. When the
schoolmaster visited his study after
second school lie found 17 malefactors
meekly awaiting chastisement.
But lie never divulged the name of
the boy who had been recognized, or,
for that matter. lie identity of the
warm friend of the school. I won

Canada's 72-Inch Reflector.
Work is progressing rapidly on this
Instrum'lent, wichel will be probably,
for a short time only, the largest tele
acope in the world, pending the com
pletion of the 100-inch reflector for
Mt. Wilson. The disk for the great
mirror started from Antwerp about a
week before the war broke out. After
its arrival at New York the Pennsyl
vania railroad was about a week in
finding a suitabie car to transport it
to Pittsbur-gh, andl then there was
further (delay before an i-an wagon
could be obtaIned to tr-ansport it to
Doctor Israshiear's workshop, where
it was finally placed oin tile grinding
table. The hazardous'wor-k of borIng
andl smoothing off the hole in the ceni
ter of the mir-ror 11as been accom
ptlalshedi with entire success. It is ex
ilected that the miounting wIll be comn

Private Jones waited until his conm

"I wasn't making muchl of him," he
said. "The blighter throw me off this
