Successful Meeting at
Oak Grove Church, i
The meeting which began at
Oak Grove Sunday, with Rev. C.
E. McDaniel as pastor and Evan-j
gelist H. H. Humphreys doing!
the preaching, seems to be a suc
cess in spite of the weather con
ditions. Large crowds attend;
each service and great interest is
being manifested at each service,
as a result of the plain, simple
manner in which Bro. Humphrey
presents the message each time.
Some members of the B. P. I.
orchestra have been giving splen
did assistance with the music, of
which service the members of
church are very grateful.
The services will close with the
Friday evening service, at which
time those baptized will be re
ceived into the church.

Something to
Think About
By F. A. WALKER
HUMAN NATURE
THERE is one boast that is pretty >
nearly universal. You probably
never met a man or a woman who, if oc
casion gave opportunity, would not say
with considerable show of pride, “Well,
T know human nature.”
Thpy mean when they say It that
they think they can solve the causes |
of human action, that they can ac
curately point out the whys and
wherefores that influence our relations
one with another, our acts and our at
titudes.
Frequently these readers of human
nature will ascribe a questionable
motive for any kind of an act, good,
had or indifferent. They would have
you think that the chief force at work
in the world is evil, the commanding
passion selfishness.
It isn’t true. There is a good deal
of' good in the world.
Tiie great majority of people are
animated and influenced by high
'motives and splendid desires.
The really bad man or woman is the
exception.
» * *
Human nature as a whole is of a
Idr.d that really mukes life worth liv
ing.
Eliliu Burritt, tlu* learned black
smith, wrote down this wisdom: “No
human being can come into this world
without Increasing or diminishing the
sum total of human happiness.”
After all, the most of our lives and
tiie most of our endeavors are to help
in the general scheme of tilings.
Tiie corner grocer may be cross and
surly sometimes, but if you only knew
it lie sent a basket tilled with things J
good to eat to the woman down the
street whose husband Is sick in the
hospital. Human nature in his case Is
dominated by good.
And as it is with the grocer so it
(s with tiie butcher, the baker and the
tnndle-stick maker, with the minister
tnd the sinner, with everybody.
* *
It is a splendid thing, a helpful
|liing, to seek the good side of people,
- lo find out their better qualities and
incourage them.
There Is some had in the best of us.
There is a lot of good in the worst
us.
Human nature is very much like a
Harden. In it we plant seeds.
Some sprout and grow into splendid
lowering plants that give everybody
pleasure. Some come up useless weeds.
If we plant kindness and charity and
love, tiie garden will be worth-while.
If we plant envy and greed and
aialice and hatred and jealousy, it will
not prove a source of much joy to any
body.
Nobody can plant or tend the garden
but you. Nobody can take from you
the credit for tiie flowers and you can
not shift to another the blame for the
growths that are worthless.
* * *
Try to know the good side of human
nature. Try to cultivate it and en
courage It.
If a motive is in question give It
[ the benefit of the doubt and believe It
I was good until it is proven to be bad.
It says in the book of Genesis that
when the Creator considered Ids work
He pronounced that “It was good.”
Unless there is a greater power thun
the Creator it must have remained
good.
Anyhow, it Is sort of satisfying to
believe that Good Is more powerful
than Evil and unless we have to
change, let us keep on thinking so.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
“GROG."
AT FIRST glance there would
appear to he little connec
tion between the word “gros
grain,” applied to heavy silks
and ribbons, and “grog,” the
sailor’s slang for drink. But both
of them were connected with Ad
miral Edward Vernon of the
British navy, the mah who
gained fame for the capture of
Porto Bello during the war with
Spain in 1789 and for whom
Mount Vernon, the home of
Washington, was named.
To tiie men of the British
navy, however, he owes his
greatest fame to the fact that
i he was the first to order rum
and water served to the men of
his squadron, beginning this
practice on board his own ship,
r the Burford. Previous to
this time, the admiral had ac
quired the name of “Old Grog,”
from his habit of strolling along
the quarter-deck in a "grograrn”
cloak “grograrn” being the
British sailor’s corruption of the
term “gros-grain.” Because of
the nickname of the man who
originated tiie serving of rum In
the navy, the drink was called
“grog”—and “grog” It Is, to this
day.
