MY EVENING PRAYER
(C. Maude Battersby, in Indianapolis
News.)
If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go
astray?
Good Lord forgive!
If L have uttered idle words or vain,
Jf I have turned aside from want or
, pain,
Lest I myself should suffer through
the strain?
Good Lord forgive!
If I have craved for joys that are
not mine,
^ -If I have let my wayward heart repine,
Dwelling on things of earth, not of
things divine?
Good Lord forgive!
If I have been perverse, or hard, or
cold,
If I have longed for shelter in the
fold, ,
When Thou hast given me some part
to hold?
Good Lord forgive!
Forgive the sins I have confessed to
thee,
Forgive the secret sins I do not see,
That which I know not, Father,
teach Thou me?
Help me to live.
A GOOD ^AS
Not every father has the moral courage
and mental poise of J. C. Fox, of
Stanley Creek, N. C., who told many
people here last week before the trial
of his son, "I came to save his soul'
not his body." It is one of the inexplicable
mysteries of human nature
that the son of such a father could
have so far forgoten the training he
received in a Christian home as to
have stooped to the foul deed of
which a jury of his countrymen found
him guilty. Unemotional though he
Nj
was, the sufferings of the old gentleman
were deep and the wound he received
will leave a scar, but through
his trying experience he was supported
by a fortitude that was wonderful.
He tis a good man and a brave man
and those with whom he came in contact
felt deeply for him and regretted
that his visit here was on such an errand.
What a pity it is that those who
commit crime cannot stop to reflect
upon the sorrow of those who love
them when the avenging hand of the
la;w lays its weight upon them. There
; is another phase of the case of the
three Columbia men convicted for
killing their fellow townsman which is
worthy of passing comment, and that
y >
is.that there was no need of mob violence.
The law was vindicated?thor
oughly vindicated, speedily vindicated
" and the three wretches who will pay
with their lives the price of their
> i
disobedience will have-a little time in
which to reflect upon their misdeeds
and seek forgiveness, if any there be
for such.

DON'T BE LIKE THE DECK
Once upon :t time there was a duck
that kept laying' nice, large, delicately
colored eggs all summer. At the
end of the summer she complained
that her efforts were not appreciated.
. "Look at that hen over there." she
said petulantly, "she hasn't laid near
as many eggs as I. nor such large
ones, but she has hooks written about
her and poems composed in her honor.
'Tain't fair?that's what it ain't. Noi
- i ? T. ~ ~ .1 x - y y
DOUy says a wura aooiu nit*.
"Madame," said the rooster to
whom she addressed her remarks,
"the trouble with you is that you don't
tell the public what you have done.
You lay an egg and then waddle off
to the pond and never say a word
about it. while that wife of mine never
lays one without letting the whole
neighborhood know^t. If you want
to get your name and virtues into the
barnyard, you must learn to advertise
every time and all the time."
All of which recalls to mind a poem
once used by the cyclonic Eva Tanguay
in vaudeville .In this poem she
described the the dilatory tactics of a
peddler of clams in Baltimore, who
carried a fish-horn with which to
announce his coming with seafood.
The peddler, becoming discouraged
over business in one block, did tiot
continue to blast his trumpet, and,
consequently, made no further sales.
The finishing line to this poem we
recall as: "Toot your horn, mister,
if you don't sell a clam?or others
will outsell you."
In early days the methods of adveri
tising often were aceompiisneci oy tne
use of a bell in the hands of qn energetic
Town Crier. Today the American
public has the advertising?reading
habit to guide itself when seeking
knowledge of things generally.
