Natures Silent Forces.


Delivered at the commencement exercises Of
the Philllpsburg high school by Charles W. Nc
Cormick, May 20, 1903,
The alteration of Gods works ls
one Of the highest privileges Of man.
The sun as we view him in his grand
eur is sublime. From it we receive
light and heat, whose wonderful in
huences are required to tit this world
for the habitation Of man. 1t is not
only a source Of light and heat, but
Of all that beautiful diversity Of col
ors, which adorns both the land and
the sea, to the lowest depths OF the
ocean, on the highest peak Of the
mountain and IN the darkest recesses
of the cave, all feel the effects Of his
boundless energy. Even the vegeta-
BILE kingdom is sensitive to his power
He causes the leaves to shoot forth
and the blossoms to appear, the hills
and the valleys to be covered with
verdure and the fruits Of the earth to
ripen in golden harvest His rays
dispel the shades Of night. All ami
mate beings rejoice in his presence
and awaken and sport in his beams.
The birds salute him with their me-
lodlous concerts, and all creation is
J born anew. Man awaits the coming
of morning and rejoices in its appear
ance, for truly it is pleasant thing
for the eyes to behold the glory Of the
sun. His refulgent light is glorious
emblem of Gods love and power
Without the influence OF this lumi-
nary, darkness and all it's gloomy &C.
compartments would forever involve
this lower creation. All the beauties
which now adorn the face Of ma
ture would be swept away. The
birds would cease their warbllng
The flowers would no longer be
decked with the gayest colors, moi
shed their rich perfumes. All life
and activity would cease and horri
BILE darkness would prevail. Yet Ill
who doeth all things well hath blessed
even our darker hours, by the moons
reflected light, which but gives us the
promise of to-morrow's sun. By bel
wild radiance, she Eliminates thu
path of the mariner following his
course through the stormy deep, tx
the beIated plowman plodding hi
weary way to his home, to the shep
herd attending his Aeecy flock b!
night, to the traveller in foreign land
and to the missionaries in heather
countries she reflects the hope o
home and heaven. This queen Of nigh
in her various stages is always mos
cheerful visitant, she throws a mllC
+, and silver lustre over the forest, thu
mountains and the valleys, and w
behold beautiful picture Of nature'
! handiwork. A scene which leads tn,
i wandering mind to a pleasing anc
serious reflection. BY her attractiy,
influence she sways the ocean ant
perpetuates the regular returns Of tn,
tide by which she washes every shor,
twice in twenty-four hours. Although
her brightness is not the same at al
seasons and although she is some
. times absent from our nocturnal hem
ispheres, yet in her absence we ma.
, enjoy the light of the never failing
starry regions. Electricity as fore
is receiving marked attention as th
race advances in scientific knowledge
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1893-07-06

1t needs a very thorough knowl-
edge Of any one to pronounce upon
his courage or his cowardice-a
knowledge impossible to an ordinary
observer. The same is true Of every
virtue and Of every defect They all
take different forms in different indi-
yiduals, and are yariously modified
by other qualities SO as tn elude even
the deepest and most delicate investi-
cation.

like grain before the reaper SO that
many Of the wretches refuse to adj
vance, But Xerxes plies the whip
until many are crowded from the
precipice into the hungry sea below.
In such a defile as this, numbers only
tend to increase the confusion. 1t
seems as if that little man might be
victorious, but ere the close of day
their spears bend and break. Becom-
ing useless, they are flung aside and
hand to hand conflict ensues, Soon
these heroes begin to fall, Leonidas
falls, and in the fight of desperation
which follows, all are slain. This
battle was one of the first encounters
Greece had with the world. Here it
was that that noble race demonstrated
its true spirit and its strength of char
acter. They plainly showed the Per-
slams that short Of victory or death
they would not yield. WAS not this
battle forecast Of the subsequent
victories, Platea, Himera and Ny
Gale?
At Bunker Hill, the Thermopyl@
OF America, our forefathers made
their first stand for their liberty and
ours. 1t was a bright and beautiful
morning. Behind the newly erected
Notifications were a few brave but
unframed colonists ready for battle.
! The city just below was filed with
we'll drilled British soldiers. In the
valleys and across the mountains
were peaceful homes and many anx-
lous hearts awaiting the results o.
the battle. They realized, as fully as
did the Greeks, the threatened de-
struction of their homes and the over
throw Of their liberties. In the strug
giles Of the day, those patriots made
a gallant defense. The British wal
repulsed the first, yes, the seconc
time; but in the third encounter thu
ammunition OF the Americans gavC
out and in desperation they used thu
butts Of their guns as their last de
Tense.
The victories at Saratoga and York
town were but the sequel to their con
test in which defeat was victory. Il
the conquest Of life each may fgh
his Thermopyle. 1t may be the frs
real battle Of ones life The youni
man or the young woman starts on
} in life with prospects as bright as
summer day. But some foe is mel
some obstacle of difficulty must b
} overcome. Many anxious friend
watch and wait the result, but it is
time when they can lend no helpin
Q hand, even words of advice and er
: couragement may not be profferet
I This is a test Of character which wi
r have lasting effects.
We. the class of 1913, are lust in th
! morning of our lives, How beautifu
a are our surroundings. The horizo
9 is cloudless. We have not yet regis
tered our names in the band to guar
! our country's good, but we have mad
L some preparation, and must now en-
o list in the conflict. AS we leave on
s school work here we will meet tn
! world in our first contest with reali
: ties. On this preparation will largel
depend our future. We must leav
y pet theories and fancied favors be
hind and move on to the conflict. Gu
o paths may not be strewn with roses
but we have bright hopes for the FL
ture. If we fight our Thermopyl'
g arlght, we may justly expect to re
u ceiye the reward Of toil-Success,

Strange 10 say, there are few women
who understand the difficult art Of using

Of fashion. and a thoroughly refined and
elegant woman never commits this error

Partisan dressmakers and couturlers
never omit TO ask when dress IS ordered
from them what perfume is adopted by

drops of LIQUID perfume and 10 spray
the hem and bodice Of ones dress before

anything offensive.-Chicago Times.
