1HIGHISCHOOL BOYS' CHORUS
One of the advancements made In local school activities In the past year was the organisation of a boys'

Superintendent, F. R. Powers haa charge of tha chorus work and plans to make it a permanent organisation
In order to further promote music lo the local school.

"Hello John, right on deck with
your milk this line morning." "Bet
your boots, Bill, you'll flnil me Johnny
on the spot, shine or rain." "But say,
John, we missed your earnest face ut
the kirk yesterday morning, and it
wasn't raining either." "O shucks,
Bill, what's the use to go to church?
That'll do for the kids; I've got to
make   a livin'.    Who cares anyhow?"
"Besides the preacher does all the
prayln' and talkln', and I dare say
the sermons ain't worth my hearln';
most all the sermons I ever heard
nearly bored me to death, or else Insulted my lntellegence." "Well, John,
all I've got to say Is that this is no
more preacher's church; Its my church
and it's your church too. The preacher himself says so; be doesn't even
care to be looked lit with glassy eyes
and called the 'reverend'. And he
doesn't want to monopolise all tho
prayln' and talkln" either. If that's
what you want he'll give you u chance
mighty quick. Almost every Sunday
morning there's a chance for you to
pray; and If It don't agree with the
'talk' you can get right up in meeting
and try to show a 'better way.' Our
church Is the peoples' church, John.
You're a dandy good neighbor; you're
the kind we need In church; we all
care; come along.' And as for the
sermons one thing I can say they
show conviction and good purpose,
and not a few times they do make
you think; and when we pray like wo
ought, the whole service makes one
feel like It was a great thing to be
alive, and one wants to live better.
Then the first Sunday In each month
there is a special sermon for the boys
and gtrls.only In Juiie It will be the
second Sunday, on Children's Day.
I sort o' figure, John that we owe It
to our youngsters to set the example
and take them to church, or let them
take us, once a month at least.
You've certainly missed it the last
two Sunday mornings. One sermon
day for want of tbe usual sort of
alarming flux to society's lazy-leisure
class. Life is becoming one continual
movie thrill. Let dreamers wake up,
Join the hoe and broom brigade and
go to work."
