“Ye Cannot Serve God And Mammon.”
(Matt, fi, 24.)
Ill By Old Dotard.
an
" ‘-strait is the gate and narrow the
way that lcadeth onto life; and few there
be that find it” (Matt, vii, 13, 14), and it
has ever been true that only a few, a
very few can enter that “Strait Gate,
Jesus says, and so spoke another great
"V. Indian Teacher.nearly 3000 years earlier,
who says in one of the Indian Saeied
Scriptures (Bhaga.ed Gita): “Among
thousands of men scarce one striveth for
perfection; of the successful strivers
scarce one knoweth me in essence” ; for
the Initiates or Masters are few in each
generation, for the saved are, as Proclus
taught, “those who escape from the circle
of generation, within which humanity is
bound. ’’
The young man who came to Jesus ad¬
dressing him as “Good Master," asked
him how he might gain eternal life, his
first answer being the external precept,
-**‘Keep the commandments,” to which
the young man replied: “All these thin
have I kept from iny youth up,” tij
came the answer of the true Teacher:
“If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that
■ thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou
shall, have treasure in heaven; and come
and follow me,” therefore to be a real
Member of the Kingdom, poverty and
obedience must be embraced.
.Jesus the Christ was a very humble
Individual—a carpenter who worked at
his trade, if documents are to be trusted
—who possessed no splendid equipage to
the tune of thousands, or hundreds of
thousands of dollars per annum, as do our
present afchbishops, bishops, etc.,
clothed in purple and fine linen, osten¬
sibly advanced, or called to more lucrat¬
ive seats “by the Lord!”—although the
Fournier had nowhere to lay his head—
and preaching to wealthy and titled texts
like these: “It is easier for a camel to'go
through the eye of a needle than for a
rich man to enter the Kingdom of
Heaven.” It is true that Jcbus expressly
said: “Ye cannot serve God and Mam¬
mon." but the modern clergy seem never¬
theless to have discovered a way to ree
oncile both services, and have thus

in their simplicity, to the veryJhtter, the
injunctions 'itkiO '^Bi Acn by their Founder more
than ago,
-pilose a#®,'and have been variously ex
- plained some of the clergy
say, “He didn’t mean it;" as if the Chris,
the Divine Spirit, the very Truth
would dissimulate or deceive them; blas¬
phemous ecclesiastical nonsense, al¬
though the practice of the Christians
shows that they do not for one single
moment believe that riches imperil
their happiness after death.
Now if the real meaning of the
Kingdom of Heaven be taken, we liave
the expression of a simple and direct fact,
since that knowledge of God which is
Eternal Life (John xvii, 3) cannot be
: gained till everything earthly is surrend¬
ered, it cannot be learned until every¬
thing be sacrificed. The disciples were
Ho provide neither gold nor silver in their
parses (Matt. x. 9), they must forsake
all (Luke xiv, 26, 23). Their wants were
provided for by Mary, Joanna, Susanna,
and many others who ministered unto
them of their substance (Luke viii, 2, 3).
The candidate must not only give up
earthly wealth, but must give up his
inner wealth as well; until lie is stripped

MOST CHILDREN’S DISEASES
START WITH A COLD.
Restleness—feverishness—an in¬
flamed throat and spasmodic cough
—maybe whooping cough is start¬

fine results from it and it is a great

“Kcfyoee—iTtornioq Star”
By CAROLYNE CHISOLM
Summer of 1913
Dedicated to Mr, Glen in Memory of
A Pleasant Visit To NaGOOchee Valley.
Tis early morn! A faint hush gently lies
O’er all the valley,"and the peaceful skies
Are in communion with the mountain’s erest.
While slumb’ring men repose on nature’s hresvst.
It is a time to dream—my fancy dwells
Upon tllie days when through these vales and dells,
Eehoee wandered—Wahoo’s queen, and she
Was loved and honored by each Cherokee.
The lovely valley! Clothed in peace it lay.
Till with the sun one hazy, balmy day,
Came Spaniards—roving, treasure-seeking hand—
They brought.the serpent to this Eden land.
Lorenzo, cunning, wily, bokl. imd sly,
Looked on this daughter of Hie fields and sky,
Eehoee, “Morning Star,” and swore his love
In vain; her constancy he could not move.
Within a cavern hid from light of day,
The Indian treasures all well-hidden lay,
Eehoee, with her children, often rolled
Away the stones, for her charge was the gold.
Lorenzo swore Eehoee, “Morning Star,”
Should journey with him to; his home afar.
To steal her and the gold hif plans were laid,
He hid himself within the (muse wood’s shade.
Ere long Eehoee and her children two,
Came Lorenzo, riding from o’er his the hidingpj&e cliff 'n|ath thqp afcifes leapt— of blue,
Eehoee! Wretched qu#|hfTShc sadly w ept.

Lorenzo finally waroroufhi to bay,
Well had he played the sneaking dastard s part,
A IhouLmd arrows-'heart! jafEM
No peace knew she,. •
Cfu^i-hooehee,
■ l^ ely tuadv fodtld a spot to rest,
Her spotless soul had gone to join the blest.
1 think her spirit haunts these spots she knew,
For sometimes, when the skies are azure blue,
The waters, rippling, seem the very same
As her sweet voice,—which laughed before he came.
