THURSDAY, DKCKMliKR <5, HUT.
A man who stops a gully is as
worthy of remembrance as is the man
who builds a tunnel or constructs a
railway. Doth will receive the commendation
of posterity.
Get your orchard in order, Mr.
Fruit Grower. Trim up, clean up, get
at the worms now. Next summer you
will reap the reward. Fruit, plenty
of fruit, next season, will help wonderfully.
It did help and is now helping
from last year's bountiful crop.
If you could go over your life, what
are some of the changes you would
make? Maybe it is not too late to
change now. The devil always leads
a man to think it does not matter;
then after it does matter, he hastens
to impress upon you the idea that it
* is now too late.
Some men have a habit of becoming
angry when asked to pay a just
debt. Others pay, hut pay grudgingly.
Thic So ti'VAnir ?lnn/l
contracted have a way of coming to
payday. If it hurts so severely to
pay, better not make any debts. If
you can't pay, do the next best thing,
pay a part, and keep trying. Don't
blame the other fellow for calling fo:'
his own. You were light of heart when
the debt was made. Be light of heart
while the debt is being paid.
The farmer who raises an extra
hog the coming year will be just as
much a protector of his country as
will a man who fires a cannon. The
farmer who raises an extra bushel of
wheat this year may, in so doing, be
as valuable in winning the war as is
the soldier on the battle front. Every
man must do his part. It is not so
spectcular a part, this part that the
farmer plays in the game; but it is
conceded to be an essential part, and
if that means anvthintr it menne
his part, if neglected will cause the
loss of all..
The war will end soon, or it will
end late?it will have to end sometime.
In the mean time go on with
your work! Do not slacken your pace;
do not surrender; do not give up. Af-!
ter all, the real issue of success liesj
not in attaining hut attempting. This |
is a great day for men to attempt
something; something big, something
really worth while. There are more
ideas floating around loose today
than ever before in the world's his.
tory. It does seem that all the thought
of all the ages is being churned up,
distributed, measured. A man now
with an empty head should be locked
up as being an idiot.
Someone has said: "(Icnius is an immense
capacity for taking pains,"
and under this definition there is hope
for all. A man's potential self nnd
his actual experimental self, are, we
know, often far apart. There is Tiardly
one of us that would claim to have
done our best, our dead level best, i
If we did make the claim we would
be but common ordinary liars, for in i
our heart we know full well that we i
have done no such thing. We are <
ready to make excuse for ourselves,
to be sure. We had such poor oppor- I
tunities, we were not gifted as some '
other individual was; we inherited this 1
or that or the other, and hence our 1
way to success was barred. All of i
which is mere nonsense. We know '
full well who is really to blame for (
our failures, our lack of measuring: '
up to a high standard. We know
that the blame lies upon our own
heads. We were not willing to pay
the price in effort; we loved the easy
way; we failed to use the presented
openings; we just did not keep steadl- J
ly, doggedly, unflinchingly on the job.
That's the true reason for our fall- j
ing short. And when we face the :
question squarely we come to feel '
the sense of guilt and shame that is
justly our portion for our failures. (
EXPERIENCE ENLARGES ONE'S
HORIZON.
When you were a little boy you
played in a deep hole down in the
cow pasture and you thought it a
very big hole. You journeyed further
over towards the outer rim of the
big fenced in tract of land and climbed
upon a very big rock. Dig as a
house, you adjudged bdth the hole
and the rock. You finally, through
the process of years you grew to manhood,
you moved away from the old
home and the hole and the rock were
forgotten?almost. But when you did
think of them, both remained in your
memory as big things. It was a big
hole; it was a big rock that the pas- j
turn contained. After many years you
came back to the old haunts. Changes
you see all about you. yet things have
a familiar appearance, too. Finally
you think of the boyhood play places,
the big hole and the big rock. Wending
your way to these childhood delights
you look upon the "deep hole" ;
and, behold! it has shrunk to a mere
skeleton of its former self. You pass
on to the "big rock" and, behold, it
has diminished to so great an extent
that you stand in amazement at its
base. You feel that it is so small
that you could leap over it, thus showing
your contempt for it. Yet, in
your heart you realize that the hole
is just as big as it ever was; that
the rock is just as large as it was
twenty years before. Then you make
the startling discovery that it is in
yourself that the change has taken
place. You realize that your horizon
has widened your vision broadened
during the twenty years of journeying
to and fro and up and down
in the earth. Perhaps you have looked
over the precipice at Caesar's Head
or down into the Grand Canon of
the West. Perhaps you have looked
into the face of more than one towering
mountain peak or seen rocks that
covered acres and acres of ground.
Your experience has given you a different
standard of measurement. You
have been familiar with big things in
a more vital more experimental way (
*than you ever experienced in the days
of boyhood. Experience broadens a '
man, gives him a bigger outlook,
breaks down many of his cherished ,
memories, builds something bigger,
better than the thing destroyed.
One of the results of this process '
is the increasing ability to form a '
clearer judgment upon vital questions.
A man can see more than one side of
a question .sometimes a multiplicity
of sides to it, with the piling up of the
years. The cocksure spirit of youth
gives place to a more cautious spirit.
The measurements need to be readjusted.
A road appears to be far .
shorter to a man of mature mind than '
it does to the child mind. Experience '
has wrought the change. Hut while
the distance has grown shorter, the j
way may appear far more dangerous I
to the mature mind, for the steep prec- f
ipice and the dangerous bog are morti 1
fully grasped by the mature mind. 1
Some times one wonders what the f
experiences of eternity will be. Space, a
distance, relative size?surely one will
pet an enlarged and an onlarpcinfr
vision. The very vastness of the preat
c
deep! It fills one with awe, and upon *
realization, it will probably make t
many earthly objects and experiences t
shrink up to a very great degree.
Many of the earthly objects of pursuit
will, no doubt, likewise assume
a very different degree of importance,
or will fade to utter insignificance,
How big, suppose you, will appear the
hoardings of a lifetime to a man who
looks back to the earthly experiences
from an infinite environment? The
little, petty spites and ambitions; the
3harp practices, the shrewd manipulations
carried on while upon the
earth, will they not look small indeed
from that viewpoint? ,

New Hope, Dec. 5??We are having I
what we call beautiful weather, as n
Sunday was such a fine day for the fl
time of the year. S

Measles is again raging in our com- ^
munity. It seems as if some contagious
disease gets into the schools
every year to prevent the children
from attending regularly.
The little son of Mr. and Mrs.
Mrs. Sumpter Garner is very ill. The Sp
child fell, injuring itself, so that they
fear it will prove fatal but we surely
