Dear Leon •-
My wife and I were deep
ly grieved to learn of your fath
er’s death. We affectionateij
knew him as Uncle Jim. In his
death I’.have lost one of my ck s
est friends. He was a man who
was not afraid to stick to yiu
when every one else had deserted
you. He was always for the un
der dog. There was nc hypocrisy
about him. He could always be
placed on any question, and his
views, were",always Jstrong'and
decided. He was a safe man to
place your children with. I have
felt as contented over my boy
and girl being under his care as
if I were there to look after them
personally.
I regret that my condition is
so weak that it is impossible for
me to attend the funeral. Please
convey to the other members of
the family our heart-felt sympa
t ty in this their hour of grief. I
wis so glad he came to see me
before he died. He is out of his
suffering now. It hurt me so to
see how he had fallen away.
When I saw him last, he was in
robust health, but when he came
to see me he was so thin and
weak he could hardly walk. He
has left to you and family a
priceless heritage in the spotless
record he made for himself.
With kindest regards to you
all, I am,
Sincerely your friend,
J: G. Kinman.

THE TOWER IN YOUNG
LIFE
There is great power in the
Tallulah falls: it is of real value
for the purpose of making elec
tricity and pulling mill wheels
and various other things. Think
of this great power if it is di
rected in the right way. What
would be the result? Suppose
the dam was to break, what
would be the results, it would
mean destruction to every house
near the river bed below. It is
a blessing if used in the right
way, otherwise it is detrimental.
Think of the power there is in
the young people of to-day,
whom God has blessed with
health and strength, given great
minds, and ability to do things.
Think of what they would mean
to the world of to-day if they
would use this power in the
right way. We should use this
power to the glory of God. First
of all think of the man that
plows the ocean wide, takes his
compass for his guide.
How much more we that
travel life’s pathway day
by day should take Christ for
our guide. Think on the other
side of the question if the youth
of our nation use their power in
the wrong way it is dangerous.
I am greatly interested in
young people. There is great
power in young life, in fact do
we realize the importance of
young life as we should? Are we
aware of the fact that the young
people of to-day are the leaders
of to-morrow? They are to be
leaders in government, in the
church, and leaders of all things.
Let us stop to think, are we
using the opportunities that God
haA given us? Are we going tb
be capable of taking other’s
places? What the next genera
tion will be depends upon th'e
youth of to-day. The yourig
people fcould mean a blessing to
humanity if they only would, and
could make this old universe a
better place for man to live it
would direct their power in the
right way, but if they do not di
rect it in the right way it is
dangerous.
What are we going to do with
our power, boys and girls of
Clayton? Let us use our power
in the right way and it will
prove a blessing to the nation.
What is a dollar worth to bury
it the like the man buried his
McADOO UP AND DOING
•l
Some one has said that you may keep your
eye on that politician whom his friends call ‘Bill’
or of whom they tell a friendly joke. Perhaps
that is even more true of the man of whom his
friends write a humorous poem. There is a tiny
bit of political verse that went the rounds of
Washington some months ago that illustrates the
popular appeal made by McAdoo:
“The Who, the prominently Who,
Is William Gibbs, the McAdoo.
With all the burdens thence accruing
He is always up and McAdooing.
From Sun to Star and Star to Sun,
His work is never McAdone,
He regulates our Circumstances,
Our Building. Industries, Finances,
And Railways, while the wires buzz,
To tall gs what he McAdoes.
He gave us (Heaven bless the giver)
< The tubes beneath the Hudson river.
I don’t believe he ever hid,
A single thing he McAdidl
His name appears on script and tissue,
On bonds of each succeeding issue,
coupons bright and posters rare,'
' even on Pullman Bill ’o Farel”
alent? What is power s. i l i to
not use it or use it wrong
fully. It is better that we
had not had it than not to use it.
0 think of the power in young
people that is being wasted,
which we can hardly estimate
the cost of. Think what we
cost mother, suffering, up at
night when we were sick, sacri
fice, money. What we have cost
to the nation, cost to the nation
blood, men’s brains have been
lain upon the altar for our liber
ty, but what did we cost God?
To estimate our supreme cost we
would have to go back to Christ
on Calvary. Are we worth our
cost?
Boys and girls wake up to the
fact that the demand for Christ
ian leaders has never been great
er than it is to-day. The demand
is by far greater than the supply,
so young people, let us direct our
power in the right way, if we do
there is sure a place for us.
Here is our town and the doors
are open, carry flowers to the
sick rooms, help those who3e life
seems to be dark, help our fallen
brother out of the miry clay, and
help others from falling by re
moving the things that would be
stumbling blocks to them, as
profanity, which is detrimental
to the physical body and a damn
ation to the spiritual body. Take
advantage of the small opportun
ities of life and help larger ones
to come.
What is your task, what is
mine? My task is to help seme
child to see his way to Christ, to
pray, to smile at hard things, to
do my best from day to night.
Oh my soul isstiriedwhen I
meet boys and girls here and
there who seem to have the abil
ity to do things. We need our
horizen enlarged. What we need
is so much responsibility that we
would have to get down on our
knees at night to ask God to help
us. I presume one trouble to
day is that we"are afraid of hard
things. Thank God for hard
things, that is what it takes to
make men and women out of
boys and girls.
The question to-day is not are
you rich or. are you poor but, are
you willing and determined?
There are opportunities open and
waiting for you more than ever
before. The harvest isripe^but
the reapers are f ew. the demand
is great, the supply is small.
What are we individually do
ing with our power, boys and
girls of Clayton?
