PEWS HEREAFTER TO BE FREE
’ ealthy Pittsbuig Congregation Be
lieves It Has Been Disobeying
the Word of God.
Declining that they had been dis
■ beying the word of God by charg
ing rent tor pews in their $75,000
house of worship, members of the
blast Liberty Presbyterian church,
the richest congregation in Pittsburg,
voted unanimously toi abolish this
practice and to throw the pews open
lo the public without reservation.
The Scripture bearing on the matter
was quoted from Corinthians, XVI., 2,
ar follows:
'Dpoll the first day of the week let
* ach one of you lav by him in store,
as God bath prospered him, that there
l>e no gatherings when I come."
The Rev. Dr. Frank \V. Sneed is
pastor of the church, which numbers
among its members more than two
score millionaires, it is estimated
'hat the pew rent alone amounts to
$!>0,000 a year.
Several short addresses were made
by members at the meeting. One
well-known capitalist insisted that
tie verse from Corinthians forbade
ven the taking of collections, and it
1 probable this phase of the matter
will lie taken up later.—Pittsburg,

CHIMES GAVE HER THE BLUES
c sintive Melody Reminded New York
Girl Too Much of Gray and
Dreary London.
It was Sunday morning in Now
York. Tht> chimes on the Fourteenth
Ireet church were playing something
weet but very plaintive and the
/oman in her flat on Fifteenth street
was walking up and down, listening
■( 1 hem with a frown.
I know I ought to love those
himos," site explained to a girl who
vas paying her tt morning call, "hut
they make me nearly die of the blues,
they remind me so of London, t think
they play (lie same chimes every
where. These are exactly the same
bey used to wake nn> with in Itus
<11 Square in that hack drawing

nat was so dingy and funereal, with
t tie beautiful old sail gray church

den grass between. London is so sad
with its fogs and its sun that is haril
• ‘ever real sun and its chimney pots
In dark drab rows all over the city.
You seem never to get away from
hose chimney pots and the gray
green grass and the chimes. Some
1 ones of a Sunday morning I half
make up mv mind to leave here on ac
' i nut of. those chimes.”
Test for Fine Muslin.
\ Madras physician was buying
■muslin for a turban in a department
i-tore.
"None of this is fine enough," he
*«.>id. "In the turban I have on there
i.ie 40 yards. But 40 yards of this
would give me a head like a Saratoga
tiunk.
“Indian muslin is very, very tine,
it must, be fine enough to disappear
.1 it is to pass our AI test. Yes, tine
e ottgh to disappear."
He smiled.
It’s true,” he said. “The test is
ids: The muslin is spread on grass
ever night. In tlie morning, when
verything is dew drenched, if the
runslin isn’t practically indentical with
he dewy gossamer covering the lawns
— in other words, if it isn’t invisible
it is discarded and must he sold as
t < ronds,’ ”
Gossip of the Planets.
t would he nice to have a few words

There is a lot more to gossip about,

Special Pew for Reporters.
Rev. Joseph Chartrand, pastor of
RS. Peter and Paul's cathedral, hns a
atred of publicity, particularly with
regard to his sermons, which are al
ways masterpieces of oratory and usu
ally well supplied with humor, one of
his characteristics.
Not long ago lie was showing a
newspaper reporter through the cathe
dral when the two approached a pew,
which, unlike the rest, had no cards
in it indicating rental. The pew was
almost directly under the pulpit.
"That's the pew for reporters,” said
the priest. ‘1 have it. convenient,
where 1 can throw a book at them
when they pull out. their pencils.”—In
dianapolis Star.
Advice to Teachers.
II. \V. Holmes, speaking to teachers
ir. Boston the other day, said that a
■woman who wants to be a teacher
must have sympathy with children,
rot that kind of sympathy which leads
her to pick up the first baby she sees
and bug It, but a psychological insight
into a child's mind. She must have
dramatic power to inspire children
and she must love to teach and not
merely enter the profession for the
take of the money there is in it.
