ABUSE OF THE INDOORS.
Houses Made for shelter Only when
Weather Is IncIement.


Bliss Carman. IL the Craftsman
Houses were made for shelter. not for
confinement: for freedom. not restraint.
They were intended 10 enlarge our
activities, not TO diminish them.
After food they are the first requisite
the first trace Of himself which man
imposes upon the natural world, and the
most primitive and lasting evidence Of the
handiwork which grows into all the arts
of all the centuries.
They foster the family and make prog
ress possible, but We should not abuse
into their stili and comfortable recesses,
slept in their dry. clean chambers, toasted
ourselves over their sheltered FIRE. read
BY their unfiekering lights, and eaten
from their bountiful boards so long that
we are grown pale, timid, peevish. and
thankless withal.
We have kept ourselves away from the
wind and the sun and the lashing rain.
from the feel OF the earth under foot, and
the sense of the leaves and stars over
head until We no longer know the keen
and simple joys OF being alive. We have
set up barriers against the inclemency of
nature and covered before her severe
austerity until now We have forgotten
how Indispensable is all her kindly nur-
tuTe, how tonic her rugged ways. how full
Of soiace her assuaging calm.
Houses were only made 10 live IN when
Il is too cold or too hot or TOO wet 10 live
out Of doors. Any other time out Of doors
Is best. To sleep out Of doors for month
Is better than trip to Europe.

Henry Burch it Is told that. a good many
years ago. while he held the position Of
janitOr of Trinity Methodist Episcopal
Church. the minister one summer Sun
day morning delivered a sermon which,
It appears. had been given by him once
before perhaps two or three years pre-
viOus
On the Sunday in question. and dur
ing the progress of the sermon. a violent
thunderstorm came up which created
some little nervousness among the con-
gregation.
After the services were over, and as
the minister was about to leave the
building. he met the janitor.
Henry" said he, that was a pretty
severe storm while I was preaching this
morning"
Yes Mr.. -" replied Henry, and
the singular thing about It IS that there
was thunderstorm the last time you
preached that sermon.
