Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week
Beginning Dec. 13, 1909

By REV s. H. DOYLE.
rcpic.-Books that delight and strength
n--Prov. Nv, 1-e
In these first nine verses of the fourth
1hapter Of Proverbs Solomon exhorts
rs to get wisdom and understanding.
He tells of his own experience and
how his father had taught him and
enjolned him to get wisdom and under
standing. We must remember, how
ever. that wisdom" is used in Prov
cribs in different sense from what we
use it. 1t refers not SO much to in
tellectual rs to practical knowledge,
the knowledge that tells us what is
right and wrong and that helps us to
word as used by Solomon has large
moral element in 1t. 1t is with this
meaning that he says: Wisdom is the
principal thing: therefore get wisdom;
and with all thy getting, get under
standing. Exalt her and she shall pro-
mote thee; she shall bring thee to
honor, when thou dost embrace her
she shall give to thine head an orna-
ment of grace; crown of glory shall
she deliver to thee" These are the
blessings that shah come to those who
are wise enough to do good and to
avoid evil. Life Is the result Of such
wisdom. LET thine heart retain my
words; keep my commandments and
Nve.0
One Of the chief sources Of obtaining
wisdom is through books. Parental
instruction comes largely from expert
once, and how wise we would be II we
would heed 1t, for 1t would mean life.
But books form no small part In the
making up of our character, the result
Of practical wisdom. The chief end in
reading, therefore, should be the de-
velopment not of the mind, but of the
heart. the ennobling of character,
which alone is IAN ornament of grace"
and crown of glory
From the Bible, the book of books.
down there are thousands of good
books that can both delight and
strengthen US, that will interest and
enrich and enoble us. But there are
other books-books that degrade and
debase moral character. An important
phase Of the book question is, there
fore, the selection of the books that we
are to preach. This selection will de-
pend upon our training and natural
disposition. Parents and teachers
should assist children to develop a
taste only for inspiring and ennobling
literature. There are few things more
debasing than a taste-yea. a craving
for impure books. No true Christian
Endeavor girl should hide away and
take stolen glances at book she
would not want her mother to see, nor
should the boys read what they know
their fathers would not approve. If
we do not possess 1t already, let us
cultivate a taste for good books only,
the masterpieces Of the worlds great
writer's, and. above all. for the Bible.
Gods book from heaven.

who has received number Of Yakima papers

his pen:
Oh, / have friends who for many year
Have lived out west in Yakima;
They wonder how I can be happy here
While they're ont west in Yakima,
They write me how the apples grow,
Praise that country high and low
And tell me how easy they make their dough
Away out west in Yakima.
oh that's place I'd like TO see,
That place out west called Yakima;
/ think that's Just the plsse for me,
Among my friends in Yakima.
They write me how they take their ease,
Live their lives just as they please,
While the dollars grow on the apple trees.
Away out west in Yakima.
The climate, too, they say is fine,
Away out west in Yakima.
! think would like some Of that in mine.
Away out west in Yakima.
While here the thermometer is ten below;
And we're wading around in three feet Of
snow,
There they write me peaches are all in blow,
Away out west in Yakima
They tell me they have no drilling rains
Away out west in Yakima.
Their moisture comes from the water mains
Away out west in Yakima.
While here for rain we have to wait,
And often, alas, 1t comes too late;
~ + -
Away out west in Yakima.
They say large family is real good thing,
Away out west in Yakima,
They viii help you along with your work in
the spring,
Away out west in Yakima
And when the summer seasons through
There's picking fruit and packing. too;
oh there's always work for the kids to do,
Away out west in Yakima.
They also write me about their crops,
Away out west in Yakima,
They raise alfalfa, potatoes and hops.
Away out west in Yakima.
There's peaches, prunes and apricots, too,
Melons and cantaloupes not few,
While tomatoes grow to pound or two,
Away out west in Yakima.
Then when the growing season is past,
Away out west in Yakima;
The fruit all picked and sold at last,
These boosters have nothing else to do,
Away out west in Yakima;
And brag Of that street car line going through
So they send out letters and papers, too,
Up the valley of Yakima.
SO think III sell the old home place and 20
out west to Yakima,
1t won't be long till they see my face
Away out west in Yakima.
IN take my wife and children four,
Wen soon be knocking at their door,
And wen make our home for evermore
Away out west in Yakima.
Dedicated to my Booster friends in Yakima
