(By Rev. YV. H. Faust.)
' The man who faces the dark
- walks in his own shadow, hut he
who walks toward the sun has a
clean path.
A live cootie can cause more,
feeling than a dead elephant, and
few active members of a live
church are worth infitely more
than hundreds of unconcerned
members.
Lots of people feel that it mat
ters not to what church they be
long, yet these same folks would
not say “any man’s wife is as
good as mine.”
More grit is required to beard
the lion in his den, than to stand
on the mountain top and loudly
denounce all the lions in the walks
below.
The uninnocent man wants to he
judged by the facts in the ease,
but the guilty criminal wants ev
idence of a true character to be
withheld.
A snake and a cootie are pretty
low down, but they are a million
fold more decent than a blind ti
ger liquor seller who, by his ne
farious trade, debauches the
young manhood of the country.
.. Any man can take a short cut
on a crooked road, but a straight
road is the shortest distance be
twvven righteous points.
Judging from the action of
some autoists on the highways,
when Clod made them he put
about as much gray matter in
their heads as could he held on
the surface of a cani-
P,.ric needle point.
When a girl will giggle and
swing in a hammock with a boy
smoking a cigarette, it is a sure
sign that some fellow is going to
get a cook without paying $40.00
per month.
When a man serves on the
grand jury he is more inclined*
-than ever to believe in David’s
theological conclusions.
These shots reach Germany—a
post card from a friend with one
v one posted on it—“A curious phe
nomenon of value—no two bald
beads alike.”
These faddists who advocate
getting up early these spring
mornings, and taking long walks,
sure are going against all natural
feelings.
Every boy sometimes under
twenty-one must climb the fool
line. The sooner he reaches the
top the better off is the world.
The man who always walks a
round with a pM tico theoloj.i al
-chip upon his shoulder, will a!
ways find sorm fighter w m is
bold enough to attempt to k i • y
it off.
Wliat must God think to see
some men in the rural sections,
riding to a church building to
worship in an automobile that
costs more than the church house.
If some men could be bought
for their real worth and sold ac
cording to their own estimation,
the government would need no in
come taxes to finance its affairs.
There is room in a well organ
ized orchestra for only one first
fiddle, but the music would he
mighty incomphte without aP
the others chiming in and doing
their part.
The fellow who opposes educa
tion and good roads these days
is so far behind 1' e times that no
earth-worm would stand more
chance of catching up with an
aeroplane than he would of over
taking today’s procession.
A flee dog can bark and oppose
iHie progress of a two-ton truck,
but the truck doesn’t stop mov
ing on because of the barking of
the fiee.
The reason why some churches
are doing the same now that they
did a half century ago.is attribu
table to the pastoral leadership.
Some preachers allowed materi
alism and laziness to dwarf them
in the making.
DR. GODDARD IINVENTS
TERRIBLE ROCKET WITH
RANGE OF 200 MILES.
Worchester, Mass., March 29.
Dr. Robert 11. Goddard, professor
of phisics. at (’lark college, act
ing under the patronage of tlie-
T'nited States war department,
lie Smithonian insti ;“ion, Clark
mi "e: Ay and W ster Polv
teelini • institute, has invented a
new rocket that is reported to be
terrible engine of war,with an al
titude range of seventy miles
straight up into the air and a (Us
ance range of at least 200 miks.
The rocket has been developed
n a special laboratory at Worces
er Tech, and the signing of the
irmstice prevented its being put
o actual test in warfare against
lermans.
The Goddard rocket is propell
id by a perfect gas engine install
ed in the lower part of the shell
he explossions that generate the
power coming from cartridges
that are fed into the chamber by
a clock-like time device. The
•oeket does not require a cannon
to start it on its flight, the jour
ley beginning from any point
where a man can get. The weap
on feature of the rocket is in the
head, ’ where a chamber is fifed
to contain either high explosives
>r gas.

RESTORE THE
HEARTHSTONE.
(The Dawson News.)
We must get hack to the hearth
stone—the foundation and bul
wark of all c during national
strength and .. tness. The ten
dency of our modern life is dear
y away from this shrine. ,p he fev
erish and shallow diversions of
mr day have cast a mournful
hadow on the fireside, and where
mee families and their friends
were wont to gather for pleasant
•nd beneficial communion only
he ghosts of delightful recollec
ions hover. More than we need
nore picture slioyvs and vaude
ville, more than we need more au
omobiles, which have been as
lard on the homes as the films,
we need the circle of family and
friends around the hearthstone.
Nothing will take its place. The
indoing of Rome from without
was largely the result of the crum
fling of Rome from within. Let
t not be true of America; yet,
,ve must beware, avoiding those
lungs which were the pitfalls of
itherpeoples. It is said that the
Swiss cherishes his fireside above
all other things of earth— it is
omething sacred to him, for it
typifies devotion and love. With
great and turbulent nations on ev
ery hand and earth’s most ghost
y battlefields just beyond her
borders the little republic ofSwitz
erland continues decade after de
*ade along her peaceful way. The
tey to her enlightened and valor
ius state is the plain and health
ful hearthstone. Ere it is too late
nay America learn a lesson from
lie republic of the Alps.

The World’s Leading Car
More Truth Than Poetry
Beat it, Beat it, little car,
They all wonder what you are,
Climbing all the hills on high,
Passing many others by.
As it passed the first man cussed,
While the second merely fussed.
But the third man said: “They
say
It won’t stop; it’s a Chevrolet.”
All consent with one acord,
It’s a car you can afford.
In the swamp or in wet grass
None of the others are in its class.
In the sand or in the mud
It pulls out where others just
chug.
Economical? Well I should say
None can equal the Chevrolet.
Summer, Winter, Spring or Fall
Has a little on them all.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Ford Cars have such a world utility that it
would almost seem as if every family ought
to have its Ford car. Runabout, Touring Car,
Coupe, Sedan, (the two latter have enclosed
bodies), and the Truck Chassis, have really
become a part and parcel of human life. You
want one because its service will be profitable
for you. We solicit your order at once be
cause, Yvhile production is limited, it will be
first come, first supplied.

Optimistic Thought
No revenge Is more heroic than that
which torments envy by doing good.
In Everyday Life.
It Is well to remember that excel*
ent things nre rare.
One thing sure, if nothing more,
You can’t beat it, so don’t get
sore.
Easy riding, very nice
Beats the auto world for price.
If yo think some other best
We can change your mind by test,
On the hill or in the sand
It can go to beat the band.
Come and try it if you will,
•Going up the steepest hill,
Maybe we are talking funny
But this car is backed by money.
We can meet you any day
And heat you with a Chevrolet.
Come and get a demonstration
It will gain your admiration
If you want a car, come try it.
And we are sure that you will buy
it.
