SUCH IS LIFE.
: !
A little childhood?a little play; (
(. A little brushing of tears away;
And then comes yorith, happy and 1
Kay;
Such is life.
i
A little youth?with golden dreams; {
A little vision in fitful gleams,
Till manhood's prime?so it seems, 1
Such is life. i
A little taste of fullgpown power; *
A little glory for an hour;
And then the fading?a withered
flower.
. Such is life.
A little bending beneath grave cares;
> A little frosting of whitened hairs;
Then death slips in?so unawares.
Such is life.
1
A little darkness?then the dawn;
t A little terror, but soon 'tis gone.
Oh! heavenly peace?the victory's i
won. ;
? Such is life.

Who is there that can find fault
with the weather? Did you ever see
so much sunshine and such "just
right weather?
O
DON'T BE A "GROUCH."
It is sad to look upon a man with a
"grouch." He is ugly, he is discouraging,
he is a nuisance and a hoi*.
He is detrimental to good morals, ^
hurts good business and chills the ,
heart of hope. Did you ever see him? s
Did you ever look in the glass and t
study his face? Did you ever see him ]
in the face of another? Shun him, ,
even if it be your own face you have <
to shun. Refuse to hear his wails.$nd ?
moans, his mouthing and his denun- ,
ciations. Keep out of his way. He is '
. dangerous; not that he will do you \
bfcdily harm. He is not that kind. '
But he will hurt your mind, he will j
"shake" your courage. He will unfit '
you for the keen clear-sighted vision j
needed in your struggles. ,
Runaway from him/ An hour spent ]
in his company will cause you to ,
sdppose you need a dose of liver med- ^
icine. To keep constant company with ,
him will drive you to bed or to drink, i
and either would be a calamity. )
Singing is better than crying. ]
Laughter is better than tears. A j
smile is better than a frown. Try it. .<
In your workshop, in your home, on
the streets and everywhere you will
find it good philosophy and good religion
to carry a cheerful heart and
a hopeful mind. You need not grin
and smirk. Just be pleasant. Just
don't be a "grouch." If you owe a
bill and must needs pay it, smile. It
will bring, your man to you again and
next time you may be able to have
him owe you. If you have work to
do, go at it. Don't frown and fret.
To do so wears upon you far more I
than honest work ever will. If your <
task is heavy, make it light with a I
song. i

OPEN DOORS. '
Slowly hut surely the human race <
is climbing to better things. Each j
footprint upward is marked with '
I
blood and wet with tears, but It was
ever thus. Struggle, toil, sufferings?
these are elemental to the march upward.
The heavy loaa has always
been carried by the few, and the
many have carelessly followed, too
indifferent and too hopeless to struggle.
A better day is coming, we verily
believe. Indeed, that better day .is
already here. Many times the advance
has been marked by the retreat;
aften a high mountain has been taken
and then relinquished. But the retreat
did not lead to the foot of the
hill, the starting point. There was
same gain and then a rally that again
again plants the flag upon the moun
tain s top. oome uay it will De planted
there and will no more be b'eaten
down. One has to read beneath the
surface of things to understand all
this. The casual observation is often
misleading. We venture the assertion
that there never was a period
in the history of human affairs when
so much attention was given to the
care of children, their education and
their physical wellbeing as is given
today. There never was a day when
jpportunity knocked so insistently at
the door of the youth as it does today.
True there are many pitfalls. There
ilways will be. But to the boy or girl
who resolutely sets out to win and
s willing to pay the price?self delial.
the outlook is indeed hopeful.
It is the day of skilled workmen, the
trained mind, the stout heart. But
there never was a time when mental
training was in the reach of so many
as it is today; nor was thej-e ever a
time when so much is to be found to
learten the struggling youth. Free '
schools, reasonable priced educational
nstitutions, books at cost-, technical
training for those who seek it?there
s no reason on earth for defeat and
'ailure save the unwillingness to
;rasp the opportunities.

EDITOR OF PROGRESS ON
BAPTIST BIBLE.
The editor of Progress has in this
veek's issue an editorial under the
leading: "A Bible for Each Denomilation."
It is illuminating in a
narked degree. He says: "There has
iust been issued in Philadelphia what
s called the "Baptist Bible," because
ill the old familiar passages on which
s based the doctrines of the Baptist
Church have been revised so they
jxpress plainly and unequivocally ony
the beliefs of that denomination."
we wouia De pieasea to Know wncn
his wonderful volume was issued, and
ay whom. Also we would be glad to
earn who gave it the name, "Bapist
Bible." We would be further enightened
if the Editor of Progress,
vho seems to be an authority on revision,
just what "beautiful pas- ,
>ages of scripture" have been "made (
;o conform solely to the beliefs" of ,
Baptists. He says: "all the old, faniliar
passages." That's putting it ]
?trong. We have never heard of the ,
'Baptist Bible." The Editor o^Progress
says it "has just been issued."
Twenty-five years ago there was ,
Drought out a revision of the New }
Testament, Dr. John A. Broadus, then
president of the Southern Baptist (
rheological Seminary at Louisville, (
jeing one of the committee. This re- j
/ision translated the Greek word 1
Baptizo to immersion. Whenever the
word Baptizo and its related words
vere found they were translated im- (
nerse and the corresponding Engish
word, as immersion, etc. But we
lave never heard of the "just issued
Baptist Bible" in which "all the old 1
familiar passages" have been revised
?o as to express "plainly and un- <
jquivocally only the beliefs of that
ienomination."
Our worthy contemporary further
says: "When it reaches the point
where the Bible is changed or adapted
to conform to the tenets of some
particular denomination and there
nust be a distinct Bible for each separate
church, it seems the noint has
been reached when broadminded
Hhristians must call a halt, and let
sach individual interpret the Bible and
follow its teachings according to their
consciences, without changing or distorting
the Boole.*'" "Now if the Baptists
have "changed or distorted the
Book," the Editor of Progress should
*ay so. He should go further and
specify. For something like a hundred
years there has been a Baptist
publication house in Philadelphia.
Twenty-five years ago they published

a revised New Testament, the only
divergence, so far as we know being
as related above in the matter of
Baptizo. We gladly await further
light from Progress' Editor, who
seems to be authority on ^revision.
But we trust he will be more explicit.
To be perfectly frank, we do not see
where the Editor of Prodgress has
any kick coming in the matter. But (
perchance he can enlighten us. If |
the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian '
?r any other denomination of Christ- '
ians bring out a revision of the scrijFtures
such revision must stand or fall
non its merit. But we would hardly i
feel justified in charging any one of 1
them with "distorting" the scriptures.

There was taken in at the box supper

It is hoped that every church member
will pay his full assessment and
