We live in a spiritual world no less real because it is unseen by mortal eyes. But let us not doubt its reality. In that unseen world, spirits of good and of evil cross our pathway everyday seek ing an abiding place in our hearts.- These statements are suggested by the Tragedy of an Empty Life, as related in verses 41-45 of the 12th chapter of Matthew. Only God can cast evil out of a man. In the instance of which Matthew writes, the evil spirit walked through dry places seek ing rest and found none. Evil is not in conditions but in the heart of man. Then the spirit returned to the vacated house, and, taking with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself they entered in and dwelt and file last state of that man was worse than the first. There once stood on the out skirts of New Orleans a deserted old brick house. Its woodwork was decaying, its window panes were broken. A decrepit old horse, grazing in the yard, was the only sign of life about the place. On the front gate was a board, “For Sale." That was the tragedy of an empty house. The tragedy of the house illustrates that which is infinitely worse, file tragedy of an empty life. “An idle brain,** we have heard of old, “is the devil's workshop.’’ Let us open our heart to the presence of God and to all the good things it brings.

ELEAZER The old Appalachian trail, cross ing the mountains from Tenness ee to Charleston, passed right through our front yard in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork. That road was still but a well- worn trail when I was a kid. Ero sion grew from its ruts, and sed iment in the low places made bog holes that were at times fear some to cross. The tavern or inn that served the stagecoach days was still there, and still is, down the hill from our house. It is our ances tral home. Before my time it was our main contact with the outside world. The stagecoaches brought visitors from afar, across the mountains.And the weary travel er had eager listeners as he wove tdles about life beyond our hori zons. The herders drove their live stock and turkeys from as far as Tennessee to Charleston. Suitable pens for them were there at El- eazer's Tavern. One of my cous ins thus, met one of the rustic herders from afar. And it was a sad/ day for our crowd when she joined him on horseback, as he passed back through after having delivered his herd to Charleston, and headed into the wilderness to the west. They lived long together ahd raised a big family deep in the back country of Tennessee. My mother visited them once and was deeply depressed by the hard sombre life of this kinswoman. But she was happy. And that is mainly what counts. As I said, the stagecoach days had been over for some time when I came along. But life in the Stone Hills hadn't changed much otherwise. The old Appalachian trail was no better than ever, maybe worse from wear. And we saw fewer folks from the outside than during stagecoach days. For the woodburning railway had sup planted it. That was several miles away. And we only got a glimpse of those folks, as they sped by at the then incredible speed of perhaps 20 miles an hour. While those who came on the stagecoach always lingered over night and brought the news. Next week I’ll tell you of a few who did come to our Stone Hills in my time.
