10 THE DAYS ARE NOT ALWAYS CLOUDED What tho’ the days that come to us are clouded; What tho’ we count the hours in wea ry pain; What tho’ the night seems somewhat diark and lonely And sleep forgets to soothe the throb bing brain. Are there no blessings ‘round thy hearthstone crowding? Doth fall no loving tones upon thine ear? Are there no treasures ’neath thy roof tree gathered? And is our pathway always dark and drear? Oh, thankless heart! we murmur so at crosses, We fret because some clouds obscure our sky; We want our path hedged in with blooming roses, With not a thorn to sting as we pass by We crave -one round of ease and wealth and pleasure; We long to wreathe our bows with glowing fame, And nigh forget that dear sw’eet hands are twining Home flowers for us upon love’s gol den frame. "SOMETIME WE’LL UNDERSTAND.” HERE are times when it seems more is crowded into the re requirements of 'a day than we are equal to —times when T we are permitted to test the truth of God’s word : "My grace is sufficient for thee.” Saturday, September twentieth, was one of those days. The two preceding weeks had been unusually busy be cause of the necessary extra work oc casioned by the Christian Citizenship Congress meeting, and not having ful ly organized my strength, I was work ing under an already overcharged case of anxiety and threadbare nerves which had rendered sleep almost im possible. Suddenly we were awakened, on this never-to-be forgotten morning, at half past three by the frantic cry of one of the dearest little women I have ever known, to “come quick to Mr. Jackson!” IRRITATING SKIN TROUBLES such as chafing, itching, excessive perspi ration, sun burn, hives, ivy poison, insect bites, eczema, etc., can be quickly relieved without pain or inconvenience if you will use Tyree’s Antiseptic Powder as directed.

THE HOUSEHOLD A DEPARTMENT OF EXPRESSION FOR THOSE WHO FEEL AND THINK. What tho’ those hands are horned by sun and labor, And some have only learned love’s sweet caresses? They cull no thorns to weave among the garlands They link together for our silver tresses. Ah! we forget a Savior’s hand is leadi ing. Us in the path best fitted for our feet; And we forget the love to us extend ing Is all sufficient when with storms we meet. For as the sunshine and the pelting shower, And summer’s heat , and winter’s storms that rave, Make the whole year so perfect in completeness, So should our trials make us strong and brave. Rise up, O heart’ thy burdens may be heavy; Lie down, thou wilt be crushed, for ever lost; Rise up, thy load will seem to thee much lighter, And life’s extremest summit soon is crossed. CHAT Mr. and Mrs. I. M. Jackosn, with tbeir two sons, had been helping us to fill up our “too-much-room” house for more than a year and by their quick thoughtfulness, and unselfish service to all who teuched their lives had woven and interwoven their heart strings in with ours until their suc cesses and joys, their anxieties and sorrows became ours. And when this heartrending call for help came from this dear woman it was almost as though our own dear mother were calling and looking to us. We rushed into their bed-room to find the poor man temporarily paralyzed from the effects of acute indigestion, and seem ingly almost gone into eternity. ’ We worked like mad, calling doc tors, then using every home remedy possible until they came. After a few hours of heroic work he rallied, mak ing us hopeful; the house was full of relatives, and having demands on me in connection with the Citizenship Congress work that could not be shifted to any one, I came in to the office —but what a day of tension! Then came, just as we got to the Auditorium that night, the fierce ring ing of the box office phone and the hurried words: "Come quick, Mr. Jackson has just died!” An unex pected down pour of rain was flooding the streets, we were clear across town from our car line and every cab phone ringing “busy ’ as fast as we tried to get them —we were desperate, when a noble hearted man whom we had never seen but hope some day to be able to serve for his goodness, offered his au tomobile and he and his little grand son chauffeur whirled us as fast as driving rain and wet streets would let THE GOLDEN AGE FOR WEEK OF OCT. 9 By Mrs. M. J. Smith. Our duty is our own, and not an other’s, And there is work for us mid toiling lands: Good seed to sow, lest we, no sheaves to garner, Go up to meet our Lord with empty hands. And there are some who with bright days have parted, Who see no rays of gladness round them shine, To whom we may speak words of love and combort, And cheer them with the light of truth divine. We may ourselves have long sice ceased our singing, We may have grief we do not care to tell; And like the Shunamite of old, when questioned, Our trembling lips have answered, "All is well.” But we will gather healing balm for others, And so forget the pain God only knows: The drop of oil we use to heal our wounded brothers May fall on us. and we find sweet re pose. them, to the College Park car line just in time to see a car leaving us for a wait that seemed hours instead of minutes. But all the time until we reached the saddened home I was trying to think —“the message must be wrong, there must be some mistake, surely this strong, healthy, cheerful heart that so many were leaning on and needing to help them with their trou bles, for he was a very willing bearer of others’ burdents, was not so sud denly stilled forever. It seemed almost as hard to realize the truth when I looked into the peace ful features, portraying no trace of the recent paroxysms of pain, and when I held the frail little “mother friend” in my arms and tried to soothe her broken heart and dazed conscious ness. Too often had I gone down into the deep waters of sorrow not to know why it all seemed so strange to the stricken hearts of this ever patient but frail little woman and her three noble boys that their loved one should be taken. But the bravery with which each tried to hide their own heartache for the sake of the other, was indeed a beautiful lesson of how Christ can help us when the pathway is dark and we need him close by our side. Mr. I. M. Jackson, who was fifty eight years old, was a member of the College Park Baptist church and was truly one of God’s unassuming noble men. Looking about him always for an opportunity to cheer or brighten some life, filling h : s place at all church services, and witnessing for the Mas ter in the many consistent evidences that the every-day life affords oppor tunity for his testimony thus given (Continued on page 11.) LIQUOR THE CURSE OF THE AGE. Dear Householders: That liquor is the curse of the age, no one of deep heart searching inves tigation will ever doubt. Pause just a moment and behold the amount of destruction to human life in one year, die every year and fill drunkards graves, those men and women have not lived their alloted time and as a result have not done their allotted life work for God and humanity. Who is responsible for this waste of talent? Kng Alcohol? Why give him the title of king? Better far call him "Fiend Thief,” for verily he is the most debased fiend on record today, and I am praying that I may have a few shells well filled, and well aimed with which to dethrone him in his absolute insolence of the squandering of human life, Look at his strong hold. Walls of gold surround him on every side and some of the human family are ready to protect him at any cost, they may build their walls of gold, and every device to shield him from our power tho the hearts of mothers with their tears of anguish will finally over come this great wall of gold, for God has said: "ask and you shall receive,” we are asking for a law to protect our boys, "Knock and it shall be opened to you,” "seek and you shall find,” We are seeking men who can’t be bought and we have, praise God, found them in the present adminis tration, and we are working like mad to accomplish the sweet dream of our sainted leader, NATION PROHIBI TION, for 19'20. Who dares say that it is not in sight? Just as sure as there is a (Continued on page 11.) WATER HELPS SOUTH CAROLINA MINISTER.
