A Church on Wheels.

The gospel “push-cart” is coming into use in Australia. It Is eight feet long, four feet wide, six feet high with the canvas top down, and eight feet high with it up. It is carpeted, has an organ, chairs, and, one side being let down, a platform is made for the speaker and the singers. It is a little portable chapel, lighted by electricity, oiid moved about by three men ar one horse. The small wheels behind act as a sort of rudder, by which it can be turned around the sharpest corner in the narrowest alley. “Excuse me, madame,” said the pay-ing-teller, “but you have not endorsed this check. If you will write your name on the back of it,' it will be all right” “Oh, of course,” said the little woman. “I had forgotten.” Then she endorsed the check: “Sincerely yours, Janette Hicksworthy.”—Harper’s Bazar.
