Philosophical SimDkins.

John Simpkins sat on counter high
In MS masters shop In crowded street;
Nuslns he at, wi h yarant eye,
And loosely dangled his idle feet.
What to Simpkins we're dry goods then,
What the measure of cloth and tape,
as ne dreamed his dreap OF prlmeval men
ANA oarwin's views Of an ancient ape?
Atoms and worlds and molecules
Rolled in by maze with bobbin and. twist,
Megalosaurus, neurOsis, and spools,
The moral law and the OeniDgen schist.
Questions mighty, of grave import,
Surged and tossed in his fabby brain
Science, religion, squirt, and retort,
Cotton and antediuvan rain.
He pondered of many brachopod,
Anthropeid capers and simian tricks,
And he doubted whether there was GOD,
And whether the boss would close at six.
Customers came and customers went,
Yet Simpkins sat in study brown:
Never an ear to one he lent
Never displayed "hand me down."
Pondering still of science rare,
Streams of stars and the milky way,
Floculli in the tall of the Bear.
ana whether the Hebrew yam" meant "day."
At eve, when the day of toll was done,
The boss called John to his side and said:
fhllosophy'li never do here, my son,
You haunt no sort of business head.
"You're bounced, my son." He hied him away,
Yet pondered still at the brachiopod;
Yet he sighed, at is just as the scientists say,
1 always knew that there wasn't no Godp'
y men, my brothers, just think what you do
When you turn the head of tallor's clerk
And go and give him a cosmlc clew,
When instead of that he should mind his work,
For the wise should know what it is that wins
The strife in this weary world of woe
COsmic philosophy or pins,
Evolution or calico.

The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1874-12-10

Dr.. HOLLANDS editorial suggestions
in a late issue of Scribners Monthly, on
what he terms ''The Average Prayer
meeting" have arrested deserved atten-
ton. The picture which he draws of a
dull, proftless hour spent in ifeless re-
iterations is too often realized in the
s.stated weekly meeting" 1t is the
easiest thing in the world to Kill the in
terest for gathering for prayer. Sing
drawingly all the verses of hymn to a
long meter; extend s'few remarks" I'M
til the clock points beyond the half hour
let some brother pray in vague manner
for the world in general and in a tedious
way for everybody in particular this
will leave the meeting so dead that no
one viii care to attend again unless from
q sense of duty. The remedy that DR..
Holland suggests is not essential and
would not avail in all cases. A good lea
der with a soul full of some theme touch
ing everyday want and living is better
than liturgy. Sing often, and few
verses at a time. Speak briefly and to
the point. Pray earnestly and from the
heart. Those who are present will be
helped and the next week you will see
new faces and the vacant seats will be
filed
