street. Strand, but failed 10 realize the

1t was inherited by his great-great-

The Missouri "p,rd of rr.edom.r

inc "tssourt "Btrd OF Freedom"
The more Missouri sees OF the auto
mobile the better 1t likes the mule.
This ut least is the verdict of Post
master Wilson of Macon, whose advice
about horseless carriages on rural de
livery routes had been solicited by an
Illinois man. The reply was, "Stick to
the mule"
The Missouri bird of paradise, he
wrote, will go where no auto would
dare to tread. lie will haul you over
those ffty-three clay hills on time or
Kick holes through them and go under.
Nothing will discourage him. You
never have to stop to fix him. You
don't have TO take a monkey wrench
and kit of burglars tools along. A
good stout club is the only instrument
ne has any respect for.
There's no danger of his blowing up.
Difficult roads only inspire him to great
er efforts. After colliding with a. tree
or brick house the auto is. sent to
the junk shop, but the mule is only
brighter and gayer and stronger after
each collision. It's the thing he runs
against that goes to the scrap pile.
A mule eats more than an automo-
bile, but he gives greater results.

Dy ms vision knew that Christ was
sending him forth TO carry the gospel
TO all the world, whether Jew or gen
tile, so by divine vision we may know
that God wants US to 20 forth to save
this or that man and do this or that
work. We know 1t Just the same as we
know what our earthly employer wants
us to do when he gives us bundle OF
checks and tells us to go and deposit
them In the bank. BY divine telepathy
We know what God wants us to do in
spiritual way the same as Captain
Yount, an old California trapper, knew
God wanted him to do something in a
physical way. Rev. DIR. Bushnell tells
this incident In one of his sermons, as
IL once was told to him by the hardy
westerner: One night Captain Yount
had vision 1t was midwintsr, and
he saw a company OF bestormed emf
grants perishiAg In the mountains from
cold and hunger. He noted" said
Bushnell, "the very cast OF the scenery,
marked by long perpendicular front
OF white rock cliff. He saw the men
cutting or what appeared tree tops. ris-
Ing out OF a deep gulf OF snOwdrift, and
he noted the very features OF the per-
sons and the look Of their particular
dress" Well, to shorten a long story,
Captain Yount the following day told
one OF his friends about this dream
ana he described the scenery of the
place where the .emigrants Were i'm
prisoned in the snow. The friend said:
"Yount, know where that place is you
describe. 1t is IN the Carson Valley
pass OF the Sierras. / have seen In
that valley the scenery just as you
have described It," What dad Captain
Yount do? He realized that this was
vision sent by God. 1t was summons
to rescue. Although his friends laugh
cd at his superstition, he collected a
party OF men and went long journey
of $50 miles in midwinter to Carson
Valley pass, and there they found a
company OF perishing emigrents in ex-
actly the position the vision had pic.
tured them. AS he did with Peter, and
as he did with Captain Yount, God is
bidding you to go forth to spiritually
save this man and that man, to do this
gospel work and that gospel work.
Within you today you may hear the
call. With your wide open eyes In
broad daylight You may see the divine
vision.
