The Southern educationi WHO
recently said that the person
who must chew gum, should
first lock the door, then turn out
the gas and crawl under the bed, is
clearly pessimist. Chewing gum
Is much preferable to chewing the
rag, aud it is daily practiced by
thousands of high and low degree.
Though not entirely pleasant to
look upon, 1t Is nevertheless a
humless diversion, 1t often de-
notes a r Elective turn of mind, but
such reflections may be put down
as Of a genial rather than mis-
chievouS nature.
1t Is proposed to pave road 16
feet wide from this city to Paden's
Valley as soon as 1t is definitely de-.
ctded plant is to be built up
there. With a paved road we
could start a line of Automobile
Vans for a reasonable sum OF
money that would answer verv
we'll Ia place of street GAYS until we
could get street Car line In opera
ton. We could raise the money
all right, but it may be difficult to
get the consent of otr guardians,

bis constant effort, thst you love him the
same even II he has failed to do all he
had hoped. Show him how well and
eheerfuily you can get on with little for
this time, sure that he next time he will
succeed. IL you are his daughter. and

or get something for him.

to plan for that, little gift from every

speech from his little son; little fun in

Epglish sparrows Are MisIudsed.

A great deal of nonsense is talked about
sparrows driving away other birds.
Like the do@ntrodden Italian and other
peasants from the Old World, the spar
rows are prepared to live here where
others would stsrve. They kill no birds.
We are too wont to attribute the re-
suits OF our own misdeeds or shortcom-
ings-the barbarities of millinery fash
ions, wanton slaughter masquerading
as sport, the lack of good bird laws and
and the enforcement OF them where sucH
exist--to these troublesome, noisy
uuarrelsome little feathered gamins
Fitted to survive after centuries OF COM
petitive struggle, they cannot be exter-
minated. AS we'll try to eliminate that

melted to helpful deeds and iabors OF love

motto: 'Look up and not down; look out
and not in; look forward and not back,
and lend a hand" Many have been in
spired to nobler and better living By those
words, and, as the stanza expresses ii,
reached out he'ping hand.

our power 10 do great deal for the comfort Of

of heart that will make US quick to see Beeds

Topfc.-Jesus the living bread.-John vi
z2-S. ISIS.
1t WIS the common custom Of CArist
to represent Himself and His work by
apt and comprehensive figures. He
calls Himself the door" the good
shepherd" the water Of life" the
way" and in the passage before us the
'livIng bread" 'T am the living bread
which came down from heaven. II
any man eat OF the bread, he shall live
forever. and the bread that 1 viii give
is My flesh, which will give for the
life OF the world"
Christ's reference TO Himself as ''the
bread Of life" and the living bread
occurred In connection with the feeding
of the five thousand on the shores Of the
Galilesn sea. The multitudes focked
around Him the next day, apparently
hoping and expecting that He would
continue to supply their physical needs.
But this was not His mission upon the
earth. While He did not underrate or
ignore the Importance Of the body, His
principal mission upon the earth was
TO save the souls Hence He used the
opportunity presented in connection
with the miracle TO place this fact be-
fore the multitudes and to impress up
on their minds the superior Importance
of that which supports eternal life
rather than the present life. Labor
not" He says, for the meat which per
isheth. but for that meat which eudur-
eth unto everlasting life. which the
Son Of Man shall give unto you For
him hath God the Father sealed"
Then in the discourse following He
goes on to present Himself as the bread
of life. or the one able to give and
support spiritual eternal life. as bread
or food does the physical life.
Christ became the living bread. or the
bread able to give us eternal life, by
laying down His life for US on the
cross. There His body was broken and
His blood was shed for our salvation.
BY faith we partake OF His body and
blood, or the results OF His sacrifice for
us The living bread is not to be bought.
II ID EEAt Vi 1bN
the physical life is purchasable, and
there have been times when II was
most expensive. But not so the living
bread. God offers il to US as q free
gift. 1t can be had without money and
without price. This may seem to US In
credible. 1t may be hard to realize that
such boon as eternal life could be
had for the acceptance. but let US re-
member that Christ has paid the price
OF our salvation. and therefore God is
able to offer it TO us as a free gift upon
the condition of our acceptance of it.
Bread to be of use must be partaken
of. Its mere existence will not keep
us alive. We must actually eat OF it
II we would live. So we must actual
ly partake of Christ by faith II we are
to be saved. The living bread has been
prepared. but we must eat to be saved.
Let us therefore accept christ's work
in our behalf and be saved by what
He has done for us.
