Lincoln attended, was situated about

Josiah Crawford once loaned Lincoln
copy OF a Life of Washington" and
Lincoln got the book wet, for which
Crawford charged him 7;i cents, a debt
that Lincoln paid by working for three
days pulling fodder

TEST OF CHRISTIANITY.
~ Rnp 4.


A Christian man said in my hearing
that he did not know of any body OF
Christians really trying to live in ex.
act obedience to the teaching of Jesus,
said the speaker. Is this true? Do
we juggle with language and pare
down the words of Jesus to suit our
convenience? Jesus demands that the
kingdom and righteousness of God
shall hold the first place in our lives.
This is something more than belief in
a creed or participation in religious
ceremonies. 1t calls for the centering
of dominant purpose in God. 1t means
that we love nothing so well, desire
nothing so earnestly, seek nothing 30
zealously as righteousness.
Is this II lie of us? 1t is n question
which each must answer for himself.
1t demands introspection and honest
estimate of our motives and purposes.
We cannot meet this demand by cry.
ing, Lord. Lord" while we devote
our best powers to the pursuit Of
wealth or drown Gods voice in a whirl
of pleasure. it is not enough that
we desire this righteousness; We must
make the quest of it the most strenu.
Gus and persistent activity of our lives.
We cannot answer by pointing to a
past experience. The demand is for
present and permanent devotion. Do
our ives stand the test?

PERCYS VALENTINES.
He Sent Only Two, but They Made
More than Trouble Enough.

| More than Trouble Enough.
Percy Simmons, or Persimmons, as his
| intimate friends fondly call him, decided
| that this year he would send only two
! valentines.
One Of these, really comical picture
of an orchestra leader with big feet and
funny mouth, he would send TO Fid-
dleby. FiddIeby played the violin. and
| he was such an awfully funny fellow
himself that Percy knew he would be
tickled a whole lot when he received the
valentine.
The other valentine was a sweet little
poem in which thine" and mine"
rhymed with valentine" 1t was pr nted
in gold on pink perfumed silk and had
beautiful border Of white paper lingerie.
Percy intended this one for Miss Syr-
uppe-Miss Mabel Syruppe as he made
bold to call her when he was alone.
Percy loved Mabel, and he felt that
Mabel loved him But somehow he
az never quite bring himself to the
point Of definitely finding out This val
eutine. he thought, would be just his
chance.
SO Percy carefully directed the two en-
Yelopes in his own handwriting, so that
Fiddleby would give him credit for the
fine Joke, and that Miss Mabel might
have no fear that the tender poem came
| from some one else.
He then placed the valentines, each
in its proper envelope as he Il ought at
the time, sealed them carefully, and gave
them 20 James TO mail.
Two days later he received two letters.
| One Of them read this way:
Percy Simmons; Your valentine

Of the whole thing marked you at once

LlNcoLN's EARLY DAYS.
Some "Reminiscences of His Boy hood
in Indiana.

Until a few years ago there was in
Gentryville an old wooden fire shovel. on
which Lincoln had traced these verses:
Time-what an empty vapor it's,
And days, how swift they are:
Swift as an arrow speed our lives,
Swift as a shooting star,
The present moment
The stanza was not finished. but il was
kept for many years until the old fire
shovel disappeared, and its whereabouts
are unknown to this day
There used 10 be a character around
Gentryville in its early days known as
"Old Holmes" who was often intoxicat-
ed.
One winter night "Old Holmes" would
have been frozen but for Lincoln, who
found him and carried him home. sitting
up all night to resuscitate him. This
incident started temperance wave over
Spencer County. and the debates were
startling and interesting.
Half way up the long wandering street
for many years stood an old blacksmith
shop. In front of it was a wide spread
ing rec. that still waves its boughs, but
every sign of the old shop is gone.
The ground on which stood the smithy
for years was owned by the Rev. Fred
Heuring. past commander of the Indiana
Grand Army of the Republic. but is now
the property of Jacob Dendinger, a town
marshal.
This old blacksmith shop was a fam
Gus place in the life OF Gentryyilie and
was a favorite resort for the people Of
Spencer County.
The old blacksmith. whose name every
one seems % have forgotten, was a nat
ural story teller, and he had around him
a crowd Of as good story tellers as him
self.
Abraham Lincoln was at this shop a
great deal. and i was common resort
for his father. Thomas Lincoln, and ABB
rsham's uncles, John and Dennis Hanks.
The shop was the country news stand
and the lecture platform, and it was
there that Abraham Lincoln learned
many OF the stories that he told in after
life.
1t was here that Dennis Hanks told
the story Of Sykes dog. story that Lin
coin told to Grant after the fall Of Vicks-
burg, and which was one Of the most
famous 81 LincOln's stories.
Sykes had a dog that was a nuisance,
and some one fed him a large cartridge
that exploded, aud the animal never
amounted 10 much after that as a dog.
Lincoln's application Of the story was
that those who we're complaining Of
Grant for paroling 50 many Of Pember-
taa's army did not realize that after the

vanccd science and philosophy of our
day will have no other conception Of
the Almighty. and let US therefore
acknowledge that the most reasonable
thing in the world is to pray.
The revelation of God through Jesus
Christ, as an infinitely wise and low
Ing Father. inspires confidence in
prayer. The Fatherhood of God, so
LUMINOSITY taught by Christ, is the
ground of our confidence in prayer.
The appeal of Jesus was constantly 10
this. IF son shall ask bread Of
any of You that is father. will he
give him a stoneY Find your worst
man. Jesus in effect says. your red
handed murderer, the midnight assas-
sin, the perjurer. the thief. and vet
will even that one give stone to his
child crying FOR bread. or serpent
to his child begging fish? Nay! nay!
the one thing that survives wrecked
manhood is the instinct of father
Integrity goes down. good name
goes down, self-respect goes down,
but the instincts of fatherhood abide.
The dominant passion in the human
breast is the instinct of parenthood
How much stronger. purer, more in
destructibe is the passion of father
hood in the bosom of the infinitely
wise and good God! IF We. then, be-
ing evil. know how to give good gifts
unto your children. how much more
shall your heavenly Father give good
things to them that ask him.
Prayer prevails where the object
sought is in harmony with the will of
God the Father. And this is the con
fidence that we have in him, that if
we ask anything accordi to his will
he heareth us. The pra 'er that pre-
yails finds out Gods will nd conforms
I thereto. Not as l will, but as thou

health. but sickness; not victory. but
defeat; not a crown. but a cross-if it
