SHORT METER SERMONS.

1t takes a clean heart to keep a clear
head.
The greatest gain in any life is the
loss Of greed.
Greatness never was bought by the
sale of goodness.
There can be no right manners with
out right motives.
He who has no time to get ready is
never ready at any time.
No church can be cleaned properly
by soft soaping the saints.
A man is worth what he gives the
world, not what he gets from it.
The holiness that makes no one happy
is one Of the most subtle forms of in
iquity.
You cannot quicken the appetite of
men for Righteousness by preaching on
rottenness.
The only sympathy some folks cult
vate is a keen feeling Of being sorry
for themselves.
You can discount the patriotism that
never swarms up till the pocketboOk is
in danger.
Many a man thinks he is spiritual
because he has forgotten how to be
natural.
Making a child happy is the first
step and q long one, too, toward max
ing him holy.
The markets of sin are those where
many characters are sold and yet none
are bought.
When a man gets to worrying over
his crown he is simply discounting an
imaginary future.
You will not need to worry much
about your good name if you take care
of your good nature.
It's a waste of breath to point the
way to heaven with your lips while
YOUR life is headed the other way.
It may be a mockery to talk about
loving those who need our love unless
we hate the things that harm them.
You have the wrong kind Of faith
when you expect the needy to make
a good dinner off a dewdrop Of SYM
patty.
The man who has robbed his brother
Of a dollar imagines that the angels
hold tteir breath in admiration when
he gives the church a dime.

ing forth of power seems, it is facr
that each one of us is constantly eXer-
cising an analogous power, not over
the bodies Of men, but over the mlnds
and souls of those with whom we come
into contact One passes down the
street: all unconsciously his shadow
falls, for good or for i'll, upon some
one. An influence, like some subtle
perfume, has been eXhaled. 1t is this
influence. unconsciously welded, that
really counts, for it depends upon what
we are and We show our true selves
when we are off our guard.
A man may seem everything that a
gentleman should be when away from
home. His home life may show that
in reality he is cad or a blackguard.
1t is the atmosphere of the home that
really influences a childs life. II
parents are selfish, fault-finding, quar-
relsome, the most faithful instruction
in unselfishness and love will make lit
tie impression. The shadow uncon-
sciously cast is more powerful than any
conscious effort.
One occasionally meets physician
whose presence in the sick room is al
most as potent an agent Of health as
his drugs. There are men and women
whose presence is benediction; be
fore them evil seems stilled, the voice
of the slanderer is stopped. The whole
community is better because they are
living in it. On the other hand, there
are those whose presence arouses all
that is evil in us.
The sort of shadow we are casting
depends, to a certain extent, upon treat
ment, but mostly upon character. If
parents have cultivated in themselves a
spirit of unselfishness and Of love their
children will unconsciously breathe in
the same spirit-it is the atmosphere
OF the home in which they live.
If we cultivate spirit of content
ment and of cheerfulness we will I'M
consciously exhale the same spirit. If
we cultivate within ourselves the spirit
of love and Of meekness and Of peace,
others will feel better because we have
passed by-they will perceive that we,
too. have been with Jesus

INFLUENCE OF CHARACTER.
By Rev. J. 0. Davis


They brought forth the sick into the
streets that at least the
shadow of Peter passing by might over
shadow some of them.-Acts V. 10.
While we are not told in so many
words that those upon whom the
shadow Of Peter fell were healed, the
context implies that those who had
faith to be healed received the gift OF
health. The apostle would have been
the first to disclaim that the healing
was due to any power or virtue inner
emf In himself; 1t was an unconscious
mourning forth of power that was his
before he had been with Jesus and
learned of him.
Marvellous as this unconscious pour,

The Flag and the Regiment.


When William Mckinley was Major
Mckinley, he once made an address in
which he described the difference be-
tween the American volunteer and the
soldier of other nations The men who
were his comrades in the war between
the States, he said, not only fought,
but thought. TO illustrate this he re-
lated an anecdote about a young sol
der in some northern regiment whose
duty it was to carry the regimentaI
flag. On the march the boy ran Oh
ahead, with the flag streaming in the
air. The colonel was incensed. "Here!"
he cried. Bring that flag back to the
regiment"
The boy turned and replied, Jaw.

the size of various tiers, such as three,
three and one-half and four tier, etc
AS the apples are wiped they are prop
erly TERED. The advantage of this
method is that the packers have the
apples practically graded and can do
much more work in a day, and after
the first half day the wipers can usu-
ally accomplish fully as much as with
the old methOd-Denver Farm.

Land of the pilgrims pride!
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring

Let rocks their silence break
The sound prolong.

Long may our land be bright
With freedoms holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King.

dress parade as a mark of honor to an
ooncerned.-Foluntee
Starting to the War.

Went forth and donned soldiers garb,
And midst the roar of cannon
And the muffied sobs of sad, sad hearts
Marched out to battle they.
The husband left his newmade bride,
Whose love and tender hands
Had failed to hold him back
From taking up the bayonet
To free his country fair.
And many father, with gistening tear
Upon his brawny cheek, to see his pet,
Her little arms around his neck,
And say as best she could:
Dear papa, do not go away from me-"
Twas like the giving up of his hearts
blood
To needless be to that sweet little voice:
But go he must, and with a kiss
Upon that quivering little brow,
And ruby lips and dimpled hands
He's gone, that from the ocean
To the sea might ring at last
We're free! We're free
The lover as he held the hand
Of her he loved the best,
The last farewell now trembling on his
lips,
Can scarcely hear above the echo,
shoulder arms" her pleading tones;
''Oh must you go? | cannot, cannot
Give you up to war"
A moment more--"Farewen,"
And he, too. is numbered
In the soldier band.
That over this loved land
Might float the flag
That published to the world
America is free"
SO to the music of fife and drum
They marched-they marched to battle
on.
Days came and went
And likewise months and years.
And battle after battle strewed the field
With our brave dead,
Whose dying breath was one
OF prayer to God
That right might win
Yet often would soldiers courage almost
sink
When in the smoke of battle
They'd gather from the field,
Carpeted with dead, their lifeless
friends,
Clutching in their icy hands
Perhaps a battle steel
With which they'd written on the ground
Some word that they had hoped
Might be conveyed to some dear one at
home.
Perhaps some mothers only boy
Each night she'd prayed he might re-
With his last breath, as from
His heart his brave blood flowed away,
Would beckon from the battling throng
Some friend, and whisper as he fainter
grew:
Tell mother, Ben, that I've gone
home"
He's dead
Such sights and sounds,
That only on battlefield can be,
Were seen and heard so oft
That each time seemed
That it must be the last.
Until at last the glad news came,
On that great battle day at Appomattox,
When in the shade of the old apple tree,
Commander Lee to our beloved Grant
Delivered up his sword, and we had won.
The cause for which so many
Had yielded up their lives
At last was ours.
But let the world take note,
Twas not for shining gold
Twas not for that fair bauble, fame,
Twas not to chisel an immortal name
Upon the walls of time, that forth
Our soldiers went.
The fondest wish those brave hearts knew
Was that they might put down the foe
That stamped our nation one of slavery.
SO honor to our soldiers,
High honor to them ALL
And may their names in letters bright
Shine out upon fame's scroll
But first of all, high at the top,
Let shine Abe Lincoln's name,
Whose hands, now turned to dust,
Had ever dared to do the right,
Nor trembled when they signed
That document of war
That brought a nation
To the battlefield.
