CHILDISH BRIGHT BITS.
It was a home where poverty reign
ed. The widowed mother, worn with
work and anxiety, was rasped to the
quick by the peevish whining fret
fulness of the half nourished children.
In desperation she turned on the quar
relsome brood, exclaiming: “If you
don’t hush your noise I will take my
bonnet and go to the pasture ito find
some peace and satisfaction.
There was a little hush in the tu
mult, ’til presently little Jimmie,
timidly plucking at her apron, held
up a tiny tin pail and a very wistful
face: “Mamma,” he said, lemme go
wif you and get some, too.”
IT LOOKED CONVINCING
Martha, aged eight, arrived home
under the chaperonage of a friend.
Her father was surprised at her sud
den appearance. “Why, little daugh
ter,” he said, “what brings you home
ahead of mamma?”
“She sent me home.”
“No, No! I don’t think mamma
would send you if you didn’t want to
come.”
“Huh!” ejaculated Martha briskly,
“If you woke up in the morning and
found your grip all packed, wouldn’t
you call that sending you?”

THE GOLDEN AGE FOR WEEK OF SEPT. 18
“Hazel! Hazel!” called Grandpa
from the veranda, “leave the hen
alone and she will lay you an egg.”
A very hot little face wrinkled up
in a worried frown, looked in Grand
pa’s for an instant, as she paused long
enough to say: “Grandpa, she laid
two already, and if she lays another
one it will be rotten.”
YOUNG PESSIMIST.
Children are naturally imitative and
sometimes use adult catchwords and
sayings with surprising results. This
story, for instance, is told of a little
girl who, to employ an old-fashioned
colloqualism, felt her “nose put out
of joint,” by the advent of a new
baby.
“You don’t look very happy this
morning, dear,” a visitor remarked,
sympathetically. “Is anything the
matter?”
“Not,” she solemnly answered,
“only I think there’s too much com
petition in the world.”

RISNER’S SACRED ELOQUENCE.
If You Have Not Heard Henry Clay
Risner Preach You Have Miss
ed a Great Deal.
Our meeting in Scottsboro, Ala., be
gan on August 20th., and closed Aug
ust 31st. The preaching was done by
Dr. Henry Clay Risner, pastor Broad
way Baptist church, Knoxville, Tenn.
Dr. Risner’s sermons are marvelous
alike in their simplicity and power. A
great orator, he uses all of his gifts in
preaching “the unsearchable riches of
Christ” His sermons are as fresh as
the “breezes from the South.” Dr.
Risner is a profound student of the
Bible; at the same time he draws
upon poetry, architecture, painting,
and the beauties of nature for approp
riate illustrations.
Our town was mightily stirred by
the unique preaching of this man of
God. Hundreds of people waited
upon his ministry; on the last night
we could not seat all who came.
Christians were built up in the most
holy faith and our church was blessed
beyond measure.
I met Brother Risner in Texas sev
eral years ago; to renew our friend
ship, and to be so closely associated
with him for ten days was a great
joy. The meeting was a feast to my
own soul; I am thankful that God, in
His providence, made it possible for
Brother Risner to be with us. Scotts
boro will not soon forget him.
Faithfully yours,
SPURGEON WINGO.
Scottsboro, Ala.
