THEY SAY.
(By Hubert Dodd.)
“Don’t go uptown and downtown,
but crosstown.”
The original source of this imper
ative I do not know, but its applica
tion to modern life would discover
untold possibilities for doing good.
In large cities there are always
certain main thoroughfares leading
up town or down town. Along these
arteries one may se eall the marks
of wealth: mansions, modern up-to
date amendments, department stores,
high-steepled churches, and well
dressed people. In the throngs that
throb up and down these wealthy and
fashionable streets there go also many
ministers, social workers, and church
members, all of whom are supposed
to be dedicated to a life of servicee
and human betterment.
For one to turn to the right or left
off the main thoroughfare would put
him in many cases in less than a
block into a section of slum houses
where live people who are unchurch
ed, uneducated, uncultured and un
cared for. How close they are to the
bright lights, and yet how far away!
Years have passed and no minister,
social worker or church member has
ever turned off the uptown route to
go crosstown where the sick are, and
the hungry and naked and the lame
and blind.
Maybe there’s no slum in your
small town, but if you will go cross
town a little oftener you will find a
crosstown people who are needing
help also.
And the countryside has its byways
too. Go out these sometimes and see
whom you can find needing your
help. When I was a boy in the coun
try, I used to hear the older people
talking about certain preachers who
seemed to know where the “pot boil
ed the stronger.” And there they went
and there they stayed.

immortal commoner, William Jen

known as Lover’s Leap which pro
vides a natural observation tower
for the sightseer. This tower is fa
mous in song and story because of
the incident from which it takes its
name. Long ago this country was
the hunting ground of both the Cher
okee and Shawnee Indians and the
story runs that a young Chieftan of
the Shawnee tribe rescued a beauti
ful Cherokee maiden from a vicious
panther. They became sweethearts
and asked permission of the Chero
kee chief to mary. As the Shawnees
and Cherokees were enemies the
chief bitterly refused his consent, the
young lovers abandoned hope and
stole away in the night-time to the
great pillar of stone. Here they a
waited the dawn, and as the first
purple streaks cast their reflections
on the rippling waters of the pool be
low they plunged to their death lock
ed in each others arms, hence the
name of Lover’s Leap. Today the
skeleton of an Indian girl belived to
be that of this Cherokee maiden
rests in a cavern nearby.

a yarn of an old doctor who was

morning rounds included a call on a
man seriously ill with typhoid fever.
He had struggled along to the criti

starved for food, the period when
any solid food means almost certain
death. On this particular morning the
old doctor examined his patient under
the watchful eye of the newpew and
then reported to the wife that hone
had passed, saying the husband had
eaten a large amount of chicken
which would no doubt prove fatal.
The young nephew marveled and as
they jogged along to the next pa

so positive the patient had eaten
chicken to which the old doc replied
that he had noted a pile of chicken
bones under the bed. As the next
patient only suffered from a touch
