For-instance—you go to the dinner table and lo! such a spread as greets you—a nice juicy roast, a tureen heaped with baked potatoes smoking hot, -and other good things to match, and (after being duly thankful) you try to jab your fork into a ‘spud’ and find that it ain't that —then you_go after that roast and what is it? All camouflage, folks, all camouflage. l’ve been camouflaged so much that I would not stoop to pick up a $19.00 bill from the street. Fact is, I don't believe anything is— flage. 1 notice that, somewhere an editor has died and that the town still moves along as usual—all of which would seem to indicate that an editor (more or less) don’t count and further that if a few more of ’em would quietly slip their cable and drift to some oth- er haven it wouldn't creat much of a ripple on the commercial interests of the towns or villages in. which they hibernate. ‘4 England has (it is said) passed * law regulating the height of ladies shoes.

Now while baptism is an institution or ordinance in most ail churches, I never had much faith in its efficacy in washing away sin as the following story will show. <A protracted (or distracted) meeting was at an end. Quite a bunch ot converts to be baptised. They went down to the old swimmin’ hole. It was winter time and very cold, They } had to cut a hole in the ice so they could dip ’em.
