"The model deacon is one who is dominated by the teachings of Christ, the Rev. C. M. Hamilt declared at the Mars Hill Christian Church yesterday morning in preaching to his congregation on the subject, "A Model Deacon." "Many men who are selected for the office of deacon feel they can not measure up to the standard," said the Rev. Mr.

It was in Bres cia, Italy. A new tenor was singing the part of Alfredo. At rehearsal there was nothing strange about him. But that 'night, at the performance, when my eyes fell on the wig he was wearing, a strange fascination held me. His wig was curled in so many little knobs that it looked a little like a switchboard of electric push buttons.

Samson, at hia zenith, kould not have had more hair than fcent Into the making of that tenor's fcig. After the first curtain, on my way lo my dressing room, I heard the tage director and the tenor having frightful altercation. The director Was demanding that the tenor go dip his head in a basin of water and brush all the corkscrews out of his frig. The second-act curtain went up. Alfredo began to sing.

He sang plendidly, but the audience tittered. Then a gale of loud laughter swept through the house. Horrified, I looked at the tenor. His push-button curls had been loaked in water, as the stage director had ordered. Now, in the intense heat of the night, those locks were drying.

They began to stand, one another, straight up in the air. As he sang to me, in a short, affecting scene, much happened. Some of his curls, as they dried, began to settle back into tight knots; Others still stood up. His whole wig Seemed to be alive, and to be doing pifferent things at once. He sang, and I had to sing.

While he sang, I turned my back to the audience and stuffed my handkerchief into my mouth, until I pearly strangled. tomorrow The Rev. John Roach Straton. (Copyright.)

The net results of the Davi3 cup match at Paris look like VanRyn and Allison. Last week the marines at Mr. Hoover's private rattlesnake reserve on the Rapidan stood idly by watching members of the Cabinet make ringers and leaners with the President, while this week they have horseshoes of their own to pitch, supplied, we assume, by Captain Jenks of the hoss marines. Preparedness advocates in Congress are reported to be frothing at the viouth over the President's new idea, borrowed from the Haw-ley tariff bill, of a flexible navy based on the foreign valuation. It is understood that Ramsay MacDonald's generous plan to scrap a British cruiser has thrown two draughtsmen out of prospective employment.

An unusual opportunity you have long been looking for. poses to Select Radical for Interior Minister. PARIP, July 25.

Aristide Briand, who yesterday accepted the task of formitiK a new government to succeed that of Raymond Poincare, spent cicht hours today in efforts to form a Cabinet and then proceeded to Elysps palace to report his progress to President Dnumergue. M. Briand has found the task difficult and it was predicted in well informed circles that he would be unable to present his list of ministers to the President before tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. The pivotal point in the premier's effort is to enlarge his majority in the Chamber of Deputies by including a minister from the Radical-Socialist group. Had Cabinet Representative.

This unit had a representative in he Cabinet, the ministry of the in- erior, from 1923 until the armistice Cabinet was constituted by Poincare. the awarding of a post to a Radial would apparently mean either easting out Andre Tardieu. spokes man for the moderates and a political power in ranee, or "edging him to another post necessarily secondary to that of the interior. The moderates balked at even such important post as minister of jus- ice, which carries with it automati-ally the vire premiership, demand- ng that if Tardieu left the interior le should go either to the war or finance posts. Troblem Vnderlded.

The matter was still undecided to night but it seemed certain Tardieu would, with Cheron and Loucheur. ministers of finance and labor re spectively in the late Poincare ministry, form the backbone of the new Cabinet. Many have demanded entire revision of the Cabinet but it seemed probable tonight the retired government would form the ground work for the new. The condition of M. Poincare today was said to be stationary.

Stephen, the first Christian martyr, leaves no excuse tor a man with an everyday knowledge of the Biblo not to be able to measure up to Stephen or to get around the power, wisdom and the strength which He requires of mankind." Deacon Is Defined. In speaking of Stephen as a model, he said, "Stephen was the model deacon because he was full of the faith and the holy spirit.

This was shown by the works he did. "As God gives us strength and power to bear the burdens of life as well as enjoy the blessings of life, he also gives men this special power as followers of Christ to measure up to the standard of the deacon. "We find that all men, especially deacons, are to be men of pure mind, speech and conscience. We learn also thev are not to be men of double tongiies or They are to be individuals of good report and blameless. They are to be men willing to endure hardships, persecutions and to make sacrifices," OBITUARY.

As though purposely placed for the convenience of residents, the Carnegie branch library is located the west end of the curve and First Free Methodist Church at the cast end. But, of course, the residents aren't all Free Methodists or omniverous readers. A surprisingly large variety of denominations are represented, residents have noticed. Vacant Lot Is Scarce.

His subject was "Easy Money." "We have the ambition to accomplish many things, but we must be a bit more patient In making those accomplishments," he said, "and we can have less of those things we think are good now, but yet have all of them later. "Quick money isn't always easy money. We fail to look back along the line where the outstanding men of today started.

These co-called easy jobs came by hard working sacrifice, and you and I can have the same if we just have the patience to keep going." A brass quartet composed of Brew-or T.
