To me it lias always been a subject
for Kindness A?at 1 w&8 ?ot compelled
to have a scientific knowledge of the
stars to look at them and enjoy their
t:lory. Music charais us even though
we do not know about point and counterpoint.
While ottr delight in these
esthetic motions may be increased by
ever widening knowledge, nevertheless
God's marvels and beauties in
life and nature, like the earth, belong,

You do not need a book on botany

heart or to enjoy the fragrance of

Religion has often been shorn of its
greatest power by making it an opinion
of a learned head instead of the
I conviction of a pure soul walking with
God.
There was a prophet anciently in
Julaism who found his times all messed
up in a hopeless tangle of rites,
forms and ceremonies. He broke loose
and kicked a great hole in the ecclesiastical
wall by saying, "What doth the
Lord require of thee but to do justly,1
to lov>- m. rey. and to walk humbly
with thy God?" God comes to our
ne in 'his overwise age, and tells
is that the true way of life is so
plain that the wayfaring man, though
untaught, need uot err.
We must have the fullest possible
know 1 upon every possible subject.
for always people perish for lack
if knowledge. And yet the thing I
want io >,iy is this: life, love, religion,
and e\pi i i.-nce may be most beautiful
and satisfying to all whose souls are
attuned to God and beauty.'?Rev. J.

WE ARE LIVING IN A VERY FAST
AGE
..The biggest man 1 ever knew up
to the time I was 14 years of age was
our local magistrate. He was a power
in our community A few years
later I learned to respect our county
sheriff; he was a power-plus in my
mind till I saw hip) half drunk at a
picnic a few yearB later.
..As I grew older, the big men .were
legislators, state senators and a courthouse
judge. When I was about 19, I
saw a truly great man, viz: a congressman,
but only at a distance. He
was making a campaign speech, and
was he speeching? That was a sight
to behold: a real congressman in
the flesh.
..My greatest thrill though came the
following year. I saw a governor.
He turned out to be a human being
too. He actually shook hands with
folks, even farmers like my father and
others. I thought he was entirely
too great to do a thing like that. The
bigness of the big men that I marveled
at and about up to that time gradually
shrank up in my opinion.
..Years came and went. I finally
saw a president; he, too, was a man
like other men. Then I met a few
millionaires. They had only 2 legs
and 2 arms and 2 eyes and 1 head
and a mouth, nose, and lips like other
people. I came into contact with
men of all walks of life. They were,
after all, no bigger than the local
magistrate and the sheriff that I knew
20 years before.
..Politics have ruined nearly every
great man we ever had, and we have
had many. Years and years go by
after such men die . . . until things
political are forgotten . . . and then
we begin to weigh the good that our
leaders did; and appreciate the character
and personality they possessed
during their lives; And pretty soon,
but not soon enough, we begin to decorate
their graves, and make speeches
about them, and Anally place a
marble bust of them In the Capitol.
'-.We are all entirely too smart for
our own good. We know and hear
top; much, and the worst thing about
the news we read every day is . , .
pnly bad news is printed, such as?
"G-men kill enemy No. 1 . . . Earthquake
in China kills thousands . . .
Banker Jones- commits suicide .~r-r
Hollywood has 88 new divorces , ? .
