Short Meter Sermons.

Hidden sins are hard to heal.
Cursing yesterday does not correct
to-day.
The selfish heart Is always short
sighted.
Only a dead faith lies wrapped in
formality.
No language Is more eloquent than
life of love.
The beautiful life loses no time look
ing for a mirror.
They who never stop for little joys:
find no large ones
The church Is a shelter for the sin
ner, but not for his sins.
There Is more religion in one smile
than in a score Of signs.
If you want to set the pace, be sure
you're on the right path.
To turn from another's sorrow may
be to miss your best JOY.
There is no harmony in any song in
which the heart does not sing.
They who work as If the Master was
ever near find Him always by them.
He has no real riches who does not
put the treasures of friendship first Of
all.
It is easy to make a dollar go long
way when you get up speed on the
down grade.
A man is not charitable because he
feels like giving ice in January and
coal in August
The preacher who really feeds his
congregation will have no trouble in
filling his church.
No man ever found that laying up
treasures in heaven prevented his find
ing real treasures here.
The world may care little for theol-
ogy, but it recognizes with joy. the
heavenly life and love-
The man who thinks he is weighty
because he Is wordy usually is short
weight when 1t comes to works.
good many professions of religion
are set up on the theory that people
believe their ears rather than their
eyes,
Many never write the check Of sue
cess because they wait for the worlds
Endorsement before they begin to
draw It.
The people who are climbing into the
ecclesiastical band wagon are not the
ones who are making the heavenly mu-
sic in this world.

Fools and Trees.

Any fool can destroy trees. They
can not run away; and if they could
they would still be destroyed-chased
and hunted down as long as fun or a
dollar could be got out of their bark
hides, branching horns or magnificent
bowl backbones. Few that fell trees
plant them; nor would planting avail
much toward getting back anything
like the noble primeval forest. Dur
ing a mans life only saplings can be
grown In place Of the old trees, ten CEN
turtles old, that have been DESTROYED.
It took more than 5000 years to make
some Of the trees in these Western
woods, trees that are still standing in
perfect strength and beauty; waving
and signing in the forests of the Sierra
Through all the wonderful, eventful
centuries since Christ's time--and long
before that-God has cared for these
trees, saved them from drought, dis
ease, avala1ches and a thousand strain
ing, leveling tempests and foods, but
he can not save them from fools-only
Uncle Sam can do that.-John Muir

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1907-09-20

A man never overcomes evil until he
learns to loathe 1t and to deny its right
to any place in his life Antipathy to
the base and unworthy is developed In
proportion as the appetite for the good
and worthy grows. Morality is large
ly matter of good taste-that is, the
ability to distinguish between that
which is elevating and that which is de-
grading, and the cultivation Of the de-
sire for the things helpful.
You are not likely to overcome evil
while you are entertaining 1t in your
heart. The sins against which we are
helpless are the ones to which we are
hospitable. But neither Is one likely
to reach any worthy ideal by simply
emptying the heart of all things evil.
What we need is not so much a
smaller number Of vices to lament as
larger number Of active, aggressive vlr-
tues to occupy our energies. He Is
good who Is positively good for some
thing, not he who Is innocent Of any
thing. What you really are can never
be determined by the most minute emu
meration Of what you are not. There
are too many whose sole conscious vir-
tue lies in what they are not.
Cultivate the virtues and the vices
will take care Of themselves. The de-
velopment of the good Is the death Of
the bad There Is never an hour nor
a circumstance of life, never so much
as a chance passer on the street or
flower by the wayside, but that in them
we find either good or III the thought
and Optency that helps or binders.
He who fares forth in cheerfulness
Of heart, seeking to find good and to
do good, discovers that the foes he
once feared flee before him; some of
the temptations turn out to be illusions,
and obstacles once mountain high sink
to the plain. Step out daily for better,
happier things, and the base and evil
will have decreasing power and attrac-
ton for you.
Health Is not In shutting out disease,
but In crowding in vigor, sunshine,
cheer and strength. Health Of the
heart comes in the same way. Cease to
think of sin; seek the good and true,
the things kindly and helpful, the
thoughts fair and wholesome set in
the heart the ideal Of the best Of all
lives, the life that subdued sin by seek
ing to serve God and love man, and life
shall find the vigor of virtue.

Grass Mulch in Orchard

Inc average results of the dirfaran1
mechods of orchard culture at tho Ohio
0laIlon' covering period now of six
years are quite markedly in favor of
planung the tres in sod and mulching
the trees. The trees on the plat inns
treated have made a heavier and moro
vigorous growth than under any other
system or culture, and have produced
uouDIe as much fruit. Under the cult
vatlon and cover crop method of cul-
lure the trees made very nearly MS
gooo growth, and the fertility of the
SOIL was kept up. The fact. however.
That the general results, as regards
Doth tree growth and yield of fruit.
are inferior to the grass mulch method
is the surprising thing.
The poorest results of all were ;,b-
tanned when clean cultivation through
out the season was Dracticed, since no
humus or fertility was added to the
SOIL by this method, and the ground
washed and quilted so badly that
heaVy nils were necessary, and the
practlce had to be abandoned at the
end Of the fourth year.
The trees set in sod and having a cir
cular area cultivated about them gave
very good results for the first two or
three years, after which much better
results were secured by either the
coVer-crop method or the grass mulch
method. This method of culture was
the most expensive and laborious plan
adopted. Its chief usefulness Is on
small very rough or stony areas, where
mulching material Is not available, or
on home grounds where neat and sight
ly grounds are desired

MEETING TEMPTATIONS.

ny rev. denfy r. cope.
Be not overcome of evil, but over
come evil with good.-Romans ~ 81.
There are few who would not rather
do good than evil, few who do not de-
sire the right way of living; but our
difficulty is in summoning the will to
walk therein; the problem is not that
Of determining the right, but that of
reaching and realizing it. He makes a
great mistake who fails to credit man
kind with desires for righteousness.
But how soon and easily are we dis
couraged. When we would do good we
find evil so often present and In such
power that at last, becoming convinced
that insuperable difficulties lie in the
path of virtue, it does not seem worth
while to attempt to tread it. The
weak-willed are thus baffled before
they really begin.
Others struggle on, seeking freedom
from sin by stern self-denial, by rigid
lyexcluding from their lives all the long
list Of things that experience or opinion
has pronounced dangerous or evil. Life
is given to the effort for negative
Righteousness. But it may we'll be
questioned whether either the lndivid-
ual or the race Is ever substantially the
better for negative Righteousness.
The path to the heights where man
ought to tread IS not indicated by
Don't" signs only. The significant
mistakes We make in our fight against
sin is that we put ourselves solely on
the defensive, imagining that the only
thing we possibly can do is to hold the
fort against our foes. But the de-
fensive has everything to lose in defeat
and nothing to gain by victory. Temp
tation must be assailed.
Virtue is not something preserved; it
is something attained: it is victory.
1t is not the maintaining of ourselves
as we are, but the mounting to what
we ought to be. The life that moves
on to larger and better being misses
the assaults of many otherwise dam
aging temptations, for it simply sweeps
them before it.

Grant as q Laundryman


1t is not always safe to play prac-
teal joke unless you are thoroughly ac-
quainted with your victim. 1t Is some
times sadly true that the bitter is bit
ten"
We were gathered around a bright
fire in cozy sitting room. The colonel,
to our great delight, had gone back
through the years to his tent at the
base Of Kenesaw Mountain, and was
again, as in those past eventful years,
following the banner Of Sherman. Sud-
denly, an odd thought flashed into the
writer's mind and found expression in
a question:
Colonel" l said, II have read and
heard great deal about army life; but
on one point was never much enlight-
ened. How was the washing done?
Who did it for the soldiers?" A smile
stole around the corners Of the colo
nels rather stern mouth, his black eyes
twinkled, said Treasure Trove, in April,
1883.
Usually che soldiers did it for them
selves, but l remember one case where
Gen. Grant did some washing for a sol
der" Everybody looked up in sur
prise. Much as we had heard of Gen.
Grants old army blouse and democrat
ic ways among his men, this idea of his
washing for a private was very novel.
There was chorus of questions and
EXPLANATIONS.
"Was it really true? Did he wash
for the soldiers? How did it Happen?
Tell us about it?' Yes" said the colo
mel. ut is really true, and it happened
in this way 1t was during out advance
upon Corinth several soldiers were
talking together one day. A tall, I'M
calmly, raw recruit stepped up to them
with a bundle Of soiled clothes in his
hand. Do you know where l can get
this washing doneT he asked.
1.-TWO of the group were practical
iokers; a bright thought flashed into
their heads, and, as the sequel shows,
unfortunately found expression. oh,
yes, we know; just go up thete with
your bundle pointing to the headquar-
tiers of Gen. Grant, you will see
short, stout man describing the gen

bundle to him.
THE recruit thanked them and walk

gained entrance to the headquarters,
and stood in the generals presence.
What can I do for your said Gen.
Grant Il was directed here by cou-
pie of soldiers They told me that you
did washing, and l have bundle here
Gen. Grant probably enjoyed the
situation, but his imperturbable face
did not relax. He simply asked the
question. Gould you identify those men

Turning to an orderly, he directed
him to call a guard, go with the re-

them wash it thoroughly. See that the

SECRET OF COMMENTED LIFE.
-
BY Rev. DIN Scott Roc

ny 1bSVs O41u 0COLL 11OCACs
have learned, in whatsoever state /
am, Herewith to be content.-Philip-
plans 4 IL.
When st. Paul wrote these philo-
sophie words he was in prison, depend
ent upon the charity Of others and in
peril Of a violent death. He recon-
mends content because it silences
murmuring against the Supreme Be
ing and destroys jealousy toward our
fellows. 1t gives serenity to the mind,
nobility to the life and peace to the
heart.
The apostles other writings prove
that he recognized that there is spu-
rious as we'll as genuine content.
There is such a thing as righteous dis
content, and it is absolutely necessary
to all advancement, whether moral, so
cial, intellectual or spiritual st. Paul
is speaking Of physical wants and COM
forts, and not of moral or spiritual
states. His great endeavor was to
make men dissatisfied with their spir
itual state; he was constantly urging
them onward and upward.
But, on the other hand, he teaches
that there should be no anxiety about
temporal things. Man is to do his ut
most, but, having done so, is not to
worry. Character Is the main thing,
and whatever develops that Is impor-
tant, even If we are denied worldly
success.
Then If you would be happy, strive
to enrich the soul--seek supremely
heavenly wealth; with regard to the
body, 1t is we'll to accept what Provi-
dence orders.
There are two good rules which may
help somewhat toward the attainment
Of content First, curb the magma
tion from dwelling sadly on things you
do not possess. Many make their lives
wretched and lose all interest In what
what they have not. Whether it be
wealth.. position, fame or power. the one
thing lacking is the one thing without
which they cannot be happy. In our
day the great cause for discomfort
seems to be that everyone is not a mil
lionaire, and that, too, without special
labor. Surely it Is fortunate that we
cannot all have our desire, else there
would be no stimulus to effort and the
worlds work could not be done.
The ether rule Is to cultivate the
habit Of looking on the bright side Of
things. There Is no cloud without its
silver llning-no night without its star.
Disappointment come to everybody,
but his Is a weak nature that is over
come by them. They are necessary to
keep down pride and to increase
strength. Dependency checks exertion,
but good spirits may achieve much.
God has given each one Of us much
to enjoy if we have eyes to see 1t.
Flowers, the songs Of birds and all the
beauties of nature are typical Of His
goodness. Princely possessions can pur-
chase little more than food and raj
ment and shelter, and If we possess
these we ought not to be discontinued.
things.
Such rules will go far toward i'm
parting the great virtue of content, but
to be thoroughly efficacious they must
be founded upon that vital principle
which actuated st. Paul, namely, a per-
feet confidence in Gods love and pro-
lection,
