plunging into the ceaseless whirl OF the
city entertains the widest sort of dream.

There was an old lady all dressed in silk,
Who lived on lemons and bsttermilk;
And, thinking this world Was . sour old place,
She carried its acid all over her face.
Another old lady, all dressed in patches,
Lived upon nothing but Iucifer matches;
So the world, it made her strxngle and cough,
And sure as you rubbed her you set her on.
And another old lady. all sunny and neat
Who lived upon sugar, and everything sweet,
Exclaimed, when she heard Of their trou hles,

ever"
Now, children, take your choice
OF the food your hearts shall cat.
There are sourish thoughts, and birthstone
thoughts.
And thoughts all good and sweet;
And whatever the heart feeds on.
Dear children, trust to me,
Is precisely what this queer old world
Will seem 10 you to be.

Life is continual receiving and Civ
ing. We receive from God directly and
Indirectly great blessings and gifts. We
are expected in return to give and
even TO give to God--not that God
needs our gifts. but that we need to
make the gift. There is feeling in
render something unto God for all His
benefits. David's exclamation, what
shall render unto the Lord for all His
benefits?" finds an echo in every heart
Even the idol worshiping heather in
all ages have felt the operation of this
same inward feeling and have respond
ed to it. Freely we have received from
God; freely we should give to God
But how shall we give? What is the
divine law upon this subject? 1t is un-
doubtedly systematic and generous Civ
ing. This method is Scriptural, practi-
cable, effective, and has the promise of
Gods blessing

"All the 1.-THE of the land. whether of

ing given the 1.-THE and declared that
in Withholding they have robbed God
There can be no question about the
law as regards giving in the Old Tesla
ment times. In the New Testament
Paul asks a stated weekly offering for
. special purpose and in another place
declares that as God blessed the people
they were to give

in the prettiest town in Colorado.
Special invitations are to be eN-

HIGH ALTITUDE
BASKETBALL

Well, there isn't much to say
about it 'cept that those Cloud
City youngsters just gloriously
wallopped our boys, and-yes and
girls, too, at basketball at Lead
vile Saturday evening.
1t has been hinted to the Post
that our boys and girls were over
confident, depending too much on
their past skill and success and
failed to train properly for the
event. 1t is said that some of our
boys might have been in better
condition and that their lack of
thorough training. and the handi-
cap of playing in the extremely
high altitude proved their undo
ing.
Mr.. Berry, the referee, has
many words of praise for the team
work of our boys, but admits they
were outclassed in endurance. 1t
is probable that the same may be
said of our girls, who are skilled
players in Glenwood, but not a
match for the misses of the reg
ions of clouds and rare atmos-
phere.
The scores were as follows:
Girls-Leadville, 81; Glenwood,
5.
Boys-Leadville, At; Glenwood,
%.
The young people are all much
pleased at the treatment accorded
them by their hosts, reception
having been given them after the
game Saturday evening and an
other Sunday afternoon at the
home of Sheriff Bonner. Both
events were highly enjoyable and
the trip was a delightful one in
every respect, notwithstanding
the defeat.
