SHORT METER SERMONS.

Slotn makes slaves.
The prodigal are never liberal.
Hungry men ask few questions.
Love Is the secret of good looks.
Sincerity Is the soul asserting itself.
The pain of loss is the price OF gain.
Wait for your worries; but not for
your work.
An itching palm causes a crook in
the fingers.
1t is easy to be rigorous without be-
ing righteous.
Many a moral squint comes from a
money monocle.
The fortunate people are those who
believe they are.
Faith never has any need to dream
about the future.
1t takes more than a despising OF
fame to deserve it.
Profanity is good deal more than
a matter Of grammar.
1t takes more than a bank draft to
start the heavenly flame.
Men who lie easily get into many
places where they lie hard.
1t is easy for the wooden-legged
man to preach against dancing.
Heaven may be changeless, but a
changeless earth would be hell.
1t is a base life to which nothing
is real but the objects Of sense.
In matters of opinion the beaten
track is most likely to lead astray.
They cannot move forward who will
not say farewell to some things.
Men believe in the power Of Christ
because he believes in the possibilities
Of men.

him to long for heaven of gold, but
1t also brings a strange Joy and eX-
pectancy to the man of wealth, to the
man Of culture, and to the man of
broad sympathles with all the best in
this world. Heaven Is home, the home
after the school, after the early ,oil,
after the strife for foothold In life.
Modern religious teaching does we'll
to place Its emphasis on present liv-
Ing, to remind us that piety is more
than the power to paint pictures of
future felicity, and conservation Is
more than contemplation of future
rest. We are realizing that religion
is more than regrets over the past or
rhapsodies over the future. But all
our attention to the present only
serves to accentuate our secret hope
and longing for that better land.
1t would be wrong to ruthlessly
crush this longing. The only danger
is lest we become so occupied with
dreams Of coming joys that we forget
present duties. Happily we are COM
ing to see that the hope Of heaven
Is worthy motive to be applied to
the present We lay aside questions
or Its location or its construction and
i've to-day for Its realization. We ask
not whether 1t shall be peopled with
the uead or with the living; we only
ask whether those about us are living
In conditions which would fit them for
that house not made with hands. The
more steadily the human race presses
toward the goal Of such life the
nearer 1t comes to actually realizing It
in the present
The aspiration for heaven is more
than speculative fancy. It is one
aspect Of the spirit of progress that
lies back Of all human endeavors.
Man was born dissatisfied. otherwise
he would stagnate. He has always
longed for better material conditions,
better moral conditions, and his long
ing has made him reach them. The
instinct of progress was not implant-
ed or developed only to mock him;
it Is being realized. No instinct COM
mon to humanity is impossible Of re-
alizatlon. The hope OF heaven be-
longs to us all, the prophecy and pow
er Of Its coming We may not know
where or how, but that 1t shall be we
dare not cease to believe. To give up
the hope of n day when all wrongs
shall be righted, all sorrows healed,
and tears wiped from all eyes would
he to stagnate morally and spiritually.
The hope Of heaven Is part of our di.
vine discomfort.
The very word heaven has a moral
rather than geographical signifi.
canoe. 1t means higher, and all such
expressions as beyond the stars" and
"above the sky" are but figures of
| speech to express the moral fact that
| heaven is a condition higher up. 1t is
the next stage in mans development.
1t holds out to us the hope of unend-
| ing progress; 1t lifts the limits from
our lives and writes "Amplius" over
all our efforts. 1t Is the liberation into
larger living by the breaking Of the
bonds Of this present; the hampering
! flesh falls away at the touch of death
and the true eternal self Is free to
begin its larger life. Yet heaven Is
not the end; the day may come when
we shall see that 1t Is but another be-
ginning, and from the house not made
with hands we shall go out to even
larger living.

The League and the Library.

To the Editor of the Oca!a Banner:
That the public may not be left in
the dark as to the wisdom of voting
for the Epworth League in the library
contest, 1 have been requested to
state the facts in regard to the posi-
ton of the league.
The library contest will not be a
UNCONVENTIONAL affair. While the
officers of the league are Nethodists,
the membership is composed of mem
bers of different denominations, and
hence we could not afford TO have
UNCONVENTIONAL literature for a pub
lie library. The books for which we
are contesting illustrate how unde-
nominational it would be.
1t will be no ''pens u, UTICA The
rooms for the library have been en-
gagged and are centrally located. The
public will have easy access TO the
books and other reading matter from
about to 9 p. m. One room will be
used exclusively for the library and
reading room, and one for innocent
games and pas,ime. The books must
remain in the room, but the reader
will be protected from disturbing
noise.
II has long been the hope and pur-
pose OF the league to provide an at
tractive place for the public in gen
eral, but for young men and ladies in
particular, and the present offer OF
our merchants has inspired US to re-
newed effort
We make no fight against other
claims, but we do make a fight for a
library that shall be for the public.
We only ask the public TO consider
the merits of our plan. and vote fol
what they think will be the greatest
good TO the greateft number. The
last count was quite interesting

SO in order to make the additions that
are really needed in the case.
l am told, and by one of the board
of county commissioners, if 1 under
stood him correctly that there will
be about $1,000 of the past years
taxes to he used for the work in
question. with next years collection,
$s, 900, more can be obtained; the
rent and sale of the armory would
bringlabout 8, 600 additional, making
approximately $4,000. that can be
used to make the improvements
sought, add to that sufficient
amount OF county warrants to meet
the deficiency and lay them 5000
per year until paid, and such course
of action would result in the saving
of about $40, 900 to the tax payers OF
Marion county.
In conclusion I will say that 1 de-
sire the voters of Marion county to
consider the question of bonds in all
directions and all who can do so, go
to the polls on the day of election
and vote for the best interests of the
comfy, the best interests for himself
and family and of coming posterity
by voting against bonds.

citizen.

Please allow me space in your pa

questions. 1 admit that you have the
right 10 expect the people of the coun-
ty to stand by you on the bond ques-
ton, but have the right TO think as
1 please and to vote as please.
favor adding all necessary room
to the court house, but 1 oppose the
bond issue from neck to narrative
and from heel to hat band. l cannot
for the life of me see how thinking
men can arrive at the conclusion how
a bonded debt can be to the interest
of the people of Marion county or
any other county.
The gentlemen of the board say
that the cost of the building will only
be Ss1 900. If were betting man
would wager the skin of a skunk
against either Or all OF their top knots
that before it is completed it will cost
500, 200, and the poor old farmer will

where they get their money from but
will ask that question OF the farmers.
In few years the turpenUine in

all be gone and leave the burden for
the poor farmer TO bear, who can not
go, so ike the running brook, must
stay on forever.

Gratis but now L begin TO believe that
they were all republicans as they all
believe in expansion. They have eX-

l hope every voter in the county
Will go To the polls on the 9Th of July
and cast his vote against bonds.
The farmer is the worlds commits
sary. He has fed and clothed the
sons OF men since Adam was fred out
of Eden. yet his interests are the last
considered; laws are passed for the
benefit of the miner; the manufac-
turer is protected by tariff laws; sub
sides are granted to snip builders;
government aid is extended to rail-
roads and all interests save those of
the farmer are fostered and cared for
by the government; yet, he has TO
shoulder the burdens of mankind;
the ueamster strikes for shorter hours;
the miner wan more pay; the ma
son and carpenter demand an eight
hour law; the section hand throws up
his job; the factories close; but the
farmer must plant and pillow early and
! late, rain or shine. He has no time
to complain. Five O'Clock finds him
in the COW pen; then he HES TO the
field and sings his merry tune and
wonders what tie price OF corn will
be the last or June.
