The word “Faith” is scarcely
mentioned considering its val
ue. Faith is something we
could all have at no expense
and would be of far greatei
worth to us than many world
ly things we strive so hard to
pose3s. Our minds returns to
an incident we heard related by
a preacher. “A conductor on a
certain railroad train had a
small daughter, who frequently
went with him on his trips, on
one occasion while the train
was going at top speed another
train was coming toward it.
there was certain to be a terri
ble wreck every one on the
train was wrought up to a
frenzy all but the conductor's
little girl who was playing and
taking no notice of the ap
proaching danger. There was
also a preacher on the same
car and seeing the little childs
indifference to the imminent
danger, he asked her why she
appeared to be so happy in the
face of such awful danger, she
smiled as she replied, papa is
conductor on this train and in
him I have faith that no harm
will befall me, ,just then the
collision came and every one
on board was killed or wound
ed except the little girl who es
caped without a scratch. If we
the chidren of the almighty
father only had such faith in
Him we could fearlessly face
any danger and therefore be
happy at all times.
Mr. Cf. W. Beavers is on the
sick list at present, hope he

Sometimes there occurs a
