RAISING CHURCH FUNDS
T5e Kaffirs Mix In a Lot of Fun With
Their Generosity
The gentle Kjiliir Avhcn he does be
come Christianized has his own ideas
ol the best method of raising funds
for the support of the cause From
the subjoined description of a native
meeting sent home by a missionary it
would appear that native generosity
although of a rough and tumble char
acter is distinctly productive of ways
and means
Recently I attended a native tea
meeting at which more than 12 was
raised by this very poor congregation
Their way of doing it was characteris
tic and amusing They paid 2 shillings
to sit down to tea Then some one
would pay U shillings for such and
such a man to he required to get up
again and leave the table The man
thus assailed would pay 3s Od for
leave to sit down again There was a
special table at Avhich six could sit
paying an extra shilling each for the
privilege They had just got seated
when a man paid 7 shillings to clear
them out and they paid another S shil
lings to sit on and so It went on They
arrange all this themselves and this is
their way of giving to the cause One
man had a tin of sirup He said he
would pay 2 shillings to pour it over
another mans head who had got him
self up well in a large collar etc this
man paid 3 shillings to be let off the
first man 4 shillings again to do it tho
other 5 shillings to escape the first C
shillings to do it and did it and oh
the laughter and the mess
THE SACRED CODFISH
Famous Emblem That Adorns tha
Massachusetts Statehouse
A codfish carved in wood hangs on
the white mahogany wall of the Massa
chusetts hail of representatives in the
statehouse in Boston Between two
classic pillars it occupies a place of
honor directly opposite the desk of
the presiding officer This wooden fish
is the renowned original sacred codfish
of the Old Colony and it has assisted
at the deliberations of the lawmakers
of Massachusetts for more than a cen
tury and a half gathering sanctity year
by year It is a relic of the old build
ing which preceded the present state
house and great is the dignity of this
souvenir of colonial art and industry
The following account of its origin
is given in a Boston paper
Captain John Welch of Boston was
the creator and carver of the celebrat
ed fish He was a wood carver of re
nown for his time and in 1747 estab
lished his business in Dock square ne
belonged to the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery company and afterward be
came Its captain He was called upon
to contribute to the decoration of the
colonial assembly hall and as at that
period codfish was the colonys main
article of export Captain Welch con
ceived the idea of immortalizing the
king fish of the Massachupc t waters
When completed the carvimr was fin
ished off and colored so as t be a fac
simile of life and was hung on the
wall of the assembly hall
A Fools Identity
Some of the best known people pass
unrecognized by those to whom they
should be known Harold Frederick
sat one night at dinner next a man
whose very silence and taciturnity
caused him the more closely covertly
to survey him Not a word was ex
changed between the two Who was
that hopeless idiot that I sat next to at
dinner asked Frederick at the close
of the meal That hopeless idiot was
Cecil Rhodes he was answered It
was the fact The Colossus had been
in one of the moods in which he would
not talk and Frederick though he had
seen his portrait a hundred times had
not recognized him St James
Sagacity of the Ancients
Many quotations came from the
works of Thales the Greek philosopher
and one of the seven wise men It was
he who said Know thyself Few
words are a sign of prudent judgment
Search after wisdom and choose what
Is most worthy There is nothing
more beautiful than the world Time
is the wisest thing for It invents and
discovers all things He also said
that It was the hardest thing In the
world to know oneself and the easiest
to admonish another In his youth
Thales was urged to marry but he
said It Is too soon and later In life
upon being urged again he said It Is
too late
