OF INCOMPETENT BOBBERS

CONGREGATION APPLAUDS
AS CHILD EXPOUNDS BIBLE
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 13.—A 12-year
old girl, substituting for her pastor
father in the pulpit, drew such large
crowds to a small house of worship
here one Sunday recently that po
lice were necessary to keep the over
flow crowd from interrupting her ser
j mon.
Speaking from familiar texts, Mar
ion Crawford, the young daughter o*
the Rev. It. H. Crawford, pastor of
the Minnehaha Congregational church
told those who crowded every nook
in the little place of the value of the
Bible to the youth of today. She
preached for an hour and then was
acclaimed by her listeners.
Marion’s occupation of the pulpit
followed that of her 15-year old brotli
fer Stuart the Sunday previous. The
children receive their incentive from
their father, who holds the theory
[that preachers cannot start too young.
“Children often know the needs of
other children far better than grown
folk can,” the father declared. “If
the country is to improve and crime
to stop, the children must take an ac
tive part in church life.”

UNEMPLOYED SPEAK KINDLY
OF ECCENTRIC AMERICAN
LONDON, Feb. 13.—The unemploy
ed at Wivenhoe, near Colchester, have
found a patron in an aged wealthy
American, Bayard Brown, who lives
on his yacht Valfreya, high and dry
in a local yard, and who made a
substantial donation to the unemploy
ed Christmas fund. Some years ago
Mr. Brown made a similar donation
to the unemployed at Brightlingsea,
where his yacht was then laid up. Mr.
Brown has been somewhat of a mys
tery in English coast towns, as his
yacht seldom puts to sea and its own
er rarely leaves its decks.
RUSSIAN COLLEGE STUDENTS
FED BY KINDLY MARINERS
VANCOUVER, Feb. 13.—College
girls and boys, ranging in age from
14 to 21, work during vacations as
longshormen on Black Sea docks, sev
eral British shipmasters reported on
docking here after visiting Russian
ports with relief supplies.
The mariners reported that the So
viet forbade them to feed the work
ers, explaining that Russia did not
want to be obligated to any nation
for assistance, and Russians did not
want the wrold to think they were
suffering. Bunches, added the narra
tors, were wrapped up separately and
smuggled to the young toilers.
In a New Jersey test, grass illum
inated at night with powerful elec
tric lights grew four inches in three
weeks, while grass on the unlighted
portions of the field grew only one
inch in the same period.

“If It’s for Men We Have It”
Beloit College in the small Wis
consin city of that name is now
said to possess in its musium the
most important collection of mater
ial in America, bearing on the early
history of man. Pieces of flint and
other rude implements recently add
ed to this great collection are still
to be 500,000 years old, used at a
time when man was first beginning
to acquire reasoning power above
that of beasts. Through the zeal Oi *
Alonzo Pond and other graduates of
this little Congregational school, its
museum promises to become the
study place of the world’s greatest
scientists.
