TIMES HAVE (HA Mi ED *T. .1. w." Ruminates on the Times?' Says He Likes Tiie Idler's Ser- ; mons, and Preaches (io?;d One Himself. i I ! Editor Herald and News: I continually find myself ruminating over tne pa^t and the older 1 get the j more serious I think of things. But. sad to say, the old people have j to take the back seats in almost every < capacity of life in these polished days that we now live in. When 1 think of how things were j conducted when I was a boy ^*"'compare them wit'a the movements of things of today I almost wonder where 1 am. If it were noi: for one thought; which always illuminates my soul ! j would surely feel miserable, and that j thought is. we all have the very eame j God ruling today that has always ruled. And. thanks be to His name, ] although the world may grow prouder j and prouder He never changes. I < Mr. Editor, before I go any further I ] I want to commend "The Idler" on 'his good way of thinking of things in t general. He gets right down to the j point and he has preached so many j good sermons until I think he deserves the honor of Rev. attached to hiis nom de plume. Any way. I am going to call him the Rev. "Idler." 1 I was very much impressed over a I short sermon he preached from the following text, which can be found in ' The Herald and News of the 14th in- J stant. The text reads: "He that is not on ! speaking terms with his neighbor is |( not in speaking distance of heaven.'' I i Yes. dear Idler, what a good text this j' is. There is just loo much meaning in it for me to get out, hut I can't help ! ? > it ?_ i I;_? 1 Dili <2wen a Willie aioug ims uuc. Saviour says that "He that exalteth j himself shall be absed and he that ! himself shall be abased and he that ?

As long as he retains this 6pirit he \ is out of the church triumphant. if thero was anvthins: which Christ 11 meant to teach us while He was on ; -earth it was the spirit of humility and j & spirit of forgiveness. Look at what He did at the feast the passover when He knew that ^he time had come for Him to leave Hhe world; He poured some water into a basin and began to wash the dis- j Spies' feet and to wipe them with the $owel which was tied around Him. ( But Peter, one of the disciples, felt . ~\ery unworthy of such an act of the . Saviour and said, you shall never wash . 4 ^ray feet. Christ gave him to understand what Hie meant by this act. |, He eaid you yourselves call me j teacher and master, and you are right, ( for I am boih. If I then am the mas- < ter and teacher and was'n your feet, you ought also to wash one another's ( feet, for I have given you this as an . < ^example ~so you may do just as I have ^ Jone unto you. Yes, my dear friends, whenever you see a person pass another and his neck too stiff to bend it, bears evidence j, of a bad heart, and i.hat person can ^ never be happy in this world, not say- { in? anything about the world to come. , until there is a spiritual change brought about within his soul. If a ( person gives you a just right to be- , ' cnme offended at him and afterwards , yo? shew no disposition to forgive him , < or rc-'use to speak to him, haven t yon; shown that your heart is equally as j corrupt as ens': ur. in ouier ?urus, j, if your heart Is right will you not!} have a desire to make him better? (Then how do you expect ever to . make any one better by treating them! >'i:h contempt? So lay aside that Ml feeling that you i. <ire carrying abound within your', Dcsom. it is doing the other fellow no harm, ana eviapiu ciieaiiiig i out of a large per cent of happiness I every day of your life.

So get low fcomble thoughts of yourself and "s.heiJ you will have a meek spirit and peaceable deportment toward others. Pride Is generally the root of passion. When we over-rate ourselves then we think we are unworthily treated by others. And that provokes our anger. So sret more humility and that will -bring you more peace. Anger is a short madness and the j fever of the soul. "He that is slow to 1 anger is better than the mighty." Jan. 22, 1916. T.
