ORIGIN OF @kICKERs..
Supposed to Come From an Occupa-
ton in Cornish Mines.

Il believe that the origin OF the ex.
pressiye bit OF slang 'kickers' may be
fourd in the very lowest form OF occu-
patton any member of the human race

Between Wormsley's and St Helen's,
in Cornwall. is an underground canal
competing the lower levels OF the coal
mines at Wormsley's with the surface
station nj ST Helen's which saves a
great deal OF money for the mine
owners in handling the coal, which Is
simply loaded on the barges in the
mines and transported by the canal
under the mountains to the harbor at
st. Helen's. When the canal was de-
vised, however, how 10 provide for
loeomotion for these barges was a prob
lem.
MULES couldn't be used. and there
were circumstances which made steam
impossible. bat an inventive genius
finally solved the riddle by suggesting
that cross pieces of timber be placed
along the roof OF the canal, which was
very low and men could lie on their
backs on top OF the loaded barges and
kick the vessel along. After the barge
was once started this was found TO be
feasible.
The men could easily keep the load
Ia motion by the means suggested. and
II has ever since been in use. There
Is no question about the low grade OF

Topic. How the world is growing hes
ter.-Ps. xxxvh, lis; Feel. vii 10.
Is the world growing better? Il j.
a sad fact that some men would an.
swer ills question in TIE negative
They are not capable Of taking a broad
view If life or have not sufficient
K Hiedee to compare their age with
past ages. and hepce- uuyYisely conclude
that tic former days are better than
these. Every age Las its evil as well
as its good. and yet when we compare
tile ages and take broad aud compre-
hengIve view of life we cannot but
conclude that the world is growing bet
ter Much of the glamour Of antiquity
is Acknowledged to be false The
days CT good Queen Bess" were any
thing bat haleyon: the merrie England
of old time was fun OF disorder, dis
tress and discomfort. In yearning
again for the feshpots Of Egypt the
Israelites forgot the bondage and mis-
cry which were the accompanlments Of
those sensual pleasures.
But If the world is growing better
how is ii growing better?
1. The world is growing better by the
overthrow of evil. To those who want
to see improvement IN the world eyil
doors and their deeds have always been
a source Of laepiexi;y. But God de-
clares that we should not fret our
selves because of evil doors. for
they shall soon be cut down like the
grass and wither as the green herb"
This is true of evil as wcll as of evil
doors. Compare the ages as to evil
and we will see that IL is being over
come. Intemperancc today is not what
It was fifty years ago. Up to hun
dred years ago dueling was widely
practiced in our land Fifty years ago
there were over 100000 human slaves
In America More and more wicked
ness is being ostracizcd and pushed to
the wall Wickedness and crime stili
exist. for the millennium has not yet
arrived, but while evil exists II does
not have the power and place that 1t
had in the ages Of the past
2. The world Is growing better by
the advance of the good. Evil is be-
ing overthrown, while the good is con
quering Christ's kingdom is constant
~ advancing. and as it advances all
that goes TO make the world better and
happier is vastly increased. Christian
character was never so high as today;
philanthropy was never SO widespread.
the successful world never before took
such care Of the unfortunate and IN
successful. God is marching on and
as He marches evil decreases and good
Increases, thereby making the world
better every day than the day before.
