gagged in lively mixup late Saturday
afternoon near Third and Main streets
De Warf had been in a nearby saloon.
where he became boisterous and was
thrown out by the proprietor. He was
intoxicated at the time. On the out
side De Warf again became noisy, at
which time Officer Henry Hass. who
is on his 10 day vacation: came along
and proceeded to arrest him. De-Warf
resisted arrest and dealt the police
officer several blows in the face. dis
coloring both eyes and causing several
cuts and bruises on the policeman's
face. Finally Officer Hass succeeded
in knocking his antagonist down ana
held him securely by the throat until
Officer Stanley arrived on the scene.
Those who witnessed the occurrence
assert the police officer was also
slightly under the influence of the IA
vorite malt beverage but this asse"-
ton Mr.. Hass denies. De Warf was
locked up in a cell at the police sta
ton where he is charged with dis
turbing the peace. Saturday night OF

force by Mayor Becker on the charge
of disorderly conduct. pending an in

est memory you have Of the old home
stead? When your parents were bring
ing you up you thought those statutes
of God were awfully strict. 1t did
seem at times as though Sunday would
never get through. When you got up
early in the morning there were the
new baseball and the fine bat, NO, no.
said mother: you cannot use them
today. Better put them away in the
closet, AMI then YOU will be out OF
temptation" And then when the 9th
er boys were ready to 90 of fishing
you had to come back for family pray
ers. Then those long tramps with the
delicate food for the sick neighbors-it
did seem that mother was always
sending food to some one. And then
those Bible stories Won had to learn
when Robinson Crus6e" and that new
book of Jules Verne We're lying so
near-my. how you did grumble and
twist and fume and worry! And then
It seemed as though your father Kept
a regular hotel for all the ministers
who came to your town. Then your
father would never let you play CaIuS
or go to the country dances. The 9th
er boys went, but not you. Oh, how
strict those old folks were! Why, your
mother would not even let your sis
ter wear a low necked dress, because
she said it was immOdest. But, tell
me, do you not today glory In those
strict ways of your old home? Those
old folks were so strict that they
would never do anything they thought
the statutes of the Lord forbade them
to do. But did not those strict laws
of God bring a peace to your old home
stead which not any Of the so called
liberal ideas Of the present time have
ever produced? Yes, think we have
right, like David, to sing, Thy stat
utes have been my songs in the happy
DAYS Of my childhood"

fool. as did David down In King |
Achish's court. But, my young friend
I have wide ana varied experience /
ana want to tell you that 1t never |
pavs to break one of Gods laws. And
| also want You to knc,y that some OF
the trials ana troubles = life Of which |
Won are now complaining are yet to be
the keynotes which are to sound forth
your most glorious and happy songs OF
praise.
But there is one word in reference
To my text to which I want to draw
rour attention. 1t is the last word:
,sThv statutes have been my song in
The house of my pilgrimage" Now,
what is the pilgrimage? oh" you
answer, "a pilgrimage IS a journey; II
IS long tramp; it Is long, weari-
some. tiresome trip" Is that your
definition of pilgrimage? Then, my
friend. it is a wrong definition, for you
have only told me half the truth. It's
true. a pilgrimage is a journey. But 1t
is distinctively a journey to a shrine.
Now. what was the sacred place to-
ward which the pilgrimage of David
was heading? Why. there is only one
rational answer: 1t is the sacred place
OF heaven. 1t was toward the sacred
Mace where Christ and all David's
dear ones were to greet him. 1t was
not a pilgrimage which began at the
cradle and ended at the grave, but It
was a pilgrimage which began at the
cradle and ended at the great white
throne of God. Oh, was 1t not glori-
GUS destiny toward which the ancient
psalmist was heading? 1t was to en-
fer the presence Of the God whose stat
utes had become songs to him. That Is
the man who will enjoy heaven. Not
the man to whom the laws Of God are
burdensome and painful. but he whose
delight it is to obey and serve God
70 him, even in this world, there come
echoes of the songs Of heaven. His
ears ACQUIRE miraculous power. Why
as he listens he can hear all the re
deemed of heaven singing their songs
Of triumph. Yes. the statutes Of the
law have been his song so long that
he can catch the songs Of the heavenly
lands. Christian, as you are now
can you not catch a faint whisper OF
your dear ones singing in the otheI
world?
Through the harsh voices OF our day
A low sweet prelude finds its way;
Through clouds OF doubt and ereeds o.
! fear
A light is breaking calm and clear.
| THAT song OF love now low and far
Ere long shall swell from star to star;
That light the breaking day which ups

GEORGE Bernard Shaw as He Seems.
I doubt If any man suffers less than
George Bernard Shaw from the vaga-
ries Of our climate. He looks under
vitalized, and his extraordinary vital
ity Is perhaps the most amazing thing
about him. You would certainly say
that his health was chrOnically Dad
If Won did not know that he never
confesses. If he can possibly help 1t, tc
any least indisposition. He looks amaze
mic. and the flesh Of his face Is IN
clined TO Habbiness, as If he were
man who shirked his fair amount Oh
exercise and was careless about his
diet His nose would have been apprO-
pirate to the poet Byron, who dranB
gin. He has the mouth Of voluptu'
arv. the brow of a Madonna and the
ewes Of a soldier If you saw the back
Of his head from behind a counter as
he turned away TO lift down cannis'
fer of tea. 1t would look quite like the
back Of the head-immensely long ana
narrow and showing a lot of nape-
of any usual grocer. And have been
shaved by his very double and twin

stead road. Indeed Bernard Shaw far
more resembles some respectable
tradesman or decent artisan or even
Methodist preacher than what he is

daring revolutionary Of his tlme.-I-

mother used to sing him to sleep. They
were the divine promises with when
God adopted him as his child. The
covenant with which Abraham's chill
dren and childrens children became
part Of Gods great redemption plan
was the same covenant with when
Christians enter into adoption as Co.'s
children. And they are the same di'
vine promises with which our children
anter into covenant relations with God'
Now, the great practical question
which comes before us today Is, How
ran a child Of Christian parents be-
come a child of the covenant? In the
old dispensation the rite Of circumci-
sion made a child a partaker in the
covenant. Abraham was a child OF
God. He was to inherit Palestine and'
besides this. he was to have the divine
protection. His descendants were 10
enjoy the same privilege so long as
they obeyed Gods law. The promises
of God were to be continued from one
generation to another to all OF ADra-
hams descendants who fulfilled the Cd
legations of the covenant. II was
bargain, and the seal of it was the out
ward rite which marked the child as
nm heir Of the covenant. In other
words. circumcision in the old dlspeh-
satlon was the sealing of a parental
compact with God. Let me Illustrate.

but Won will have to pay the taxes ana
fulfill your obligations to the county
and your children will have to do the
same when they inherit" You under
stand that and l say: "Then in con
sideration of $4,000 I will give you a
deed Of that land for yourself and your
heirs forever. That deed will seal the
bargain" Just so the descendants OF
Abraham entered into covenant Win
Cod They were under obligations OF
which tbe rite was the visible sign.
Rut the rite counted for nothing if the
obligations were not fulfilled. The
later history Of Abraham's descendants
nroved that the real condition was ODE

The sonns Of Childhood.


But the statutes were more than the
guardian angels which sang the songs
of the Nativity over the manger OF
bethlehem of Judaea. They sang Tor
David the happy songs of chlldhoou'
The statutes became songs or reJolc-
ing. They we're the conditions OF SON
shin and inheritance which it was
low 70 fulfill. They were the sweetest
recollections of the old homestean
when he was a growing boy. Ihey
were the songs which made his 1atler
and mother and brothers one at the
family altar. They were the songs
which taught him how to say MS
evening PRAYERS at his mothers knee.
They were the songs which made MIN
as a child study the old Mosaic laws
They were the songs by which he was
corrected when he did wrong. Ana
they were the songs which taught MIN
faith in God as well as faith IN MS
fellow men. In other words they were
the same laws by which you and as
BOYS and girls were developed IN
Christian home for our life's struggle
If Won did not learn these statutes Of
Cod when YOU were young, then you
are moor indeed. If you did learn the
laws of God when you were young
then the memory of them makes you
rich indeed.
The happiness of our childhood days
was not dependent upon the size OF oul
fathers pocketbook. But to grea'
extent It was dependent upon whether
our parents obeyed and made us obey
the statutes of our Lord in the house
