SPLITTING A KNoTTY STICK One day
there was great humping in my cellar,
and if you had gone down there you
would have seen that one ofthc windows
had been opened, and that sticks of
wood, some square, some round, some
three. cornered, big and little, knotty and
clear, all sawn the right length for the
stove, were pouring in through that
window; and every stick as il came down
seemed to say, +" Stand Clear, or you'll
get hurt" So stood clear, and let the
workers have it all their own way.
suppose the one who sent it thought
that splitting it would be good exercise
for the minister, and he thought so too.
So went at it. But pretty soon a big
stick turned up, full Of hard knots ON
every side ! fancied that one Of these
knots looked like an eye, and that it kept
watching me rs picked up one stick ar
ter another, and left it untouched. In
fact, it almost seemed to say, "Split little
sticks, il you have mind, but dare you
to touch me-
1t was - great annoyance to sec it there
every day but the question was how to
get rid Of it. 1t was too good to be
thrown away, and it was too big to go
into the stove My only course was to
try to split it. SO one day when felt
strong in my bones, ! laid it on the block
with the eye up. Then putting all my
strength into my arms, sent my AK fair
across the eye, and through it went
To my surprise, the old stick split
more easily than many others before it,
And then ! could not help thinking how
true this is all through life. How often
do men and boys fancy that some duty is
very hard, and work all around it, and
fear to touch it, hanging back until they
can do so no longer, and then make
good effort, and find that it is real easy,
and that they have had all their trouble
some fears for nothing
Boys, remember that knotty stick.
When you have any work to do, don't
stop to think how hard IL is, but take
hold at once bravely hit it fairly in the
eye, and, ten to one, you will be through
before you know it.
