THE LITTLE CENT
“A big silver dollar and a lit
tle brown cent,
Rolling along together they
went,
Rolling along the smooth side
walk,
When the dollar remarked—
for the dollar can talk:
You poor little cent, you c'lcaj
little mite,
I am bigger and more than
twice as bright,
I’m worth more than you a hun
dred-fold,
And written on me in letters
bold
Is the motto drawn from the pi
ous creed,
Tn God we trust,’ which all
can read.
Yes, I know, said the cent,
I’m a cheap little mite and 1
know
I’m not big, nor good, nor
bright,
And yet, said the cent, with r
meek little sigh—
You don’t go to church as often
as I.”—Selected.
LITTLE COUNTRY PAPER
When the evening shade is fall

An’ a feller rests from labor and
smokes his pipe o’ clay,
There’s nothin’ does him so mud
good, be fortune up or down,
As the little countrv paper Iron
his 01’ Home Town.
It ain’t a thing o’ beauty an’ iu
print ain’t always clean,
Put it straightens out his tem
per when a feller’s feelin’
mean;
It takes tiie wrinkles off his faa
an’ brushes off the frown.
That little country paper Iron
his 01’ Home Town.
It tells of all the parties and balls
at Pumpkin Row;
’Bout who spent Sunday with
whose girls and how th t
crops’ll grow;
An’ how it keeps a feller posted
’bout who’s up an’ who is
down:
That little country paper from
his 01’ Home Town,
Now, 1 like to read the dailies
and the story papers, too,
An’ at times the yaller novels
an’ some other trash—don’t
you?
Put when I want some readin
that’ll brush away a frown,
I want that little paper from m\
01’ Home Town.

PUTTING GOD’S KINGDOM
FIRST
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 6:10-34.
GOLDEN TEXT—But reek ye first the
kingdom of Cod, and his righteousness.—
\ Matthew 6:33.
Said the Robin to the Sparrow:
“I should really like to know
Why these anxious human beings
Rush about and worry so."
Said the Sparrow to the Robin:
"Friend, I think that It must be
That they have no Heavenly Father
Such as cares for you and me."
—Elizabeth Cheney
Most men are rushing about mad
ly. Worry presses them down.
They wonder whether life is worth
while, whether somewhere there is
not relief from this nervous tension
I that is destroying mind and body.
Well, there is relief and it consists
of but one ingredient. Give God His
proper place, the first place in your
life, and "all these things” (Matt.
6:33) will take their rightful places.
Seeking first the kingdom of God
will settle every problem about
money, about food and clothing, and
about the future.
I. Money (vv. 19-24),
The word in our text is "treas
ures,” and we know that it has a
broader meaning than money, but
since in our day men seem to trans
late all values into dollars, we feel
free to use that word "money” to
express our thoughts.
The treasure is something that
one has placed somewhere in order
to keep it for himself. It is not a
thing gathered for the purpose of
using it to serve others or to serve
God, but something put away on the j
shelf to be kept for one’s own en
joyment.
There are tw'o places in which a
man can lay up treasure, on earth
or in heaven; but it is only as he
hoasds treasure on earth that he
becomes selfish. That which he
sends on to heaven by his devotion
of life and in service to Christ, by
his sacrificial giving to the cause of
Christ, by his encouragement of
those who are witnessing for Christ,
all this is done for the glory of God
and without hope of reward. How
great will be the surprise of some
when they come to heaven and find 1
what they have thus laid up for
eternity.
Laying up treasures on this earth,
on the other hand, leads to covet
ousness, to enslavement to one’s
possessions (be they great or
small), and to the evils that follow
like a train in the wake of a love
of money.
11. Food and Clothing (vv. 25-32).
Some who have no great desire to
amass riches are nevertheless in
constant anxiety about food and
raiment for the morrow; in fact, it
is true of some who have great
riches that they live in fear lest
next month or next year or ten
years from now they may be in
need.
What is the answer of the Lord
Jesus? Consider the,birds. They
are not able to work nor are they
able to pray, but God feeds them.
Consider the glory of the flowers of
the fields, for not even a king can
dress himself in such beauty. "Are
ye not much better than they?” (v.
26).
"As far as known, no bird ever
tried to build more nests than its
neighbors; no fox ever fretted be
cause it had only one hole in which
to hide; no squirrel ever died of
anxiety lest he should not lay up
enough nuts for two winters instead
of one; and no dog ever lost any
sleep over the fact that he did not
have enough bones laid aside for
his declining years” (Public Health
Service).
Proper forethought is good and
right for we are intelligent beings,
but anxiety about our daily needs
is always dishonoring to God.
111. The Future (vv. 33, 34).
Why will we fret ourselves about
the future? It is in God’s hands,
and even if it were in our hands,
what could we do about it? Even
tomorrow, with its needs and its
blessings, with its joy and its sor
rows, is not yet here, and when it
does come, there will be God’s gra
cious provision for each passing
hour.
Unsaved friend, will you not take
the Lord Jesus Christ just now as
your personal Saviour and let Him
solve the problems of your life as
you put the kingdom of God first?
Christian friend, if you too have
been bearing burdens which are not
honoring to God, will you not tell
Him just now, and put them down
at the feet of the Lord Jesus?
"Casting all your care upon him;
for he careth for you" (I Pet. 5:7),
which might properly be translated,
"Casting all your worries (or dis
tractions) on Him, for He worrieth
about you."
Be Still Then and Know
Only in the sacredness of inward j
silence does the soul truly meet the |
secret, hiding God. The strength of i
resolve, which afterwards shapes
life and mixes itself with action, is
the fruit of those sacred, solitary
moments when we meet God alone. I

| TRBTH about ADVERTISING
By CHARLES B. ROTH
TODAY ONLY: $5 BILLS FOR $1.98
MANY times, on a wager, men
have tried to sell $5 bills to
strangers for as little as $1.98 —legit-
imate $5 bills worth $5 anywhere.
They have usually failed.
The reason is simple to see: Lack
of confidence.
Their proposition sounded too
good to be true, failed to arouse the
confidence of the prospects, who
were afraid to buy.
No one trusted the seller because
no one knew him. He might be a
counterfeiter. Who
knows? He might
have some trick up BfHWll
his sleeve. Who iPfr ;
knows? Better have K■Tv* \
nothing at all to do v|sa|k .
Confidence is the j
mainspring of busi
ness. Without it no
business can succeed
and no product can
be sold, because be- ill
fore any one of us is Charles Roth
willing to part with
a penny, we must have confidence
that that which we are going to buy
will give us value received.
Confidence is not a matter which
can be bought. It must be earned.
It is a process of growth. The idea
of confidence grows from one cus
tomer to the next one. It gives vi
tality to everything about a busi
ness.

business transaction, everything
about it becomes pleasant. But
whenever confidence is absent, no
amount of any other qualities can
take its place.
You have often bought something
from someone you did not know, say
a solicitor who succeeded in taking
away your money at the door. Will
you ever see him again? Will you
get the goods you have paid for?
Was it a miniature swindle? You
wonder and worry.
You spend hours in painful doubt.
Perhaps everything turned out all
right. Even so, the profit went out
of the transaction when you had to
worry about getting your money’s
worth. Buy goods that are adver
tised from merchants who adver
tise. There lies confidence.
One of the chief services of news
paper advertising to consumers is
that it denotes which merchants or
products are worthy of confidence.
Because newspaper publishers are
so jealous of their advertising col
ums and are quick to reject any
thing which does not live up to their
standards, readers know that if a
thing is regularly advertised in the
newspaper it is worthy of their con
fidence.
As a matter of fact, the appear
ance of an advertisement in a news
paper is recommendation of the
character and quality of the goods
being advertised.
