MUCH GOOD IN HERO WORSHIP
Admiration of Others Coed Points
Bound to Lead to Desire for
Emulation.

Hero worship is Unborn in man. It
began with the beginning of the hui
man race, and will end only with its
finish. AS Carlyle once put it: 1T is
the joy of mans heart to admire
where he can; nothing so lifts him
from all his mean imprisonments,
we're it only for moments, as true ad-
miration." Nor is it only the great
and good who admire what is really
admirable Even the vicious respect
in others the fine qualities which they
themselves lack. In fact, hypocrisy
itself is but the tribute which vice
pays to virtue. Deprived Of the genu-
inc article, the hypocrite takes unto
himself the counterfeit; assuming or
aping the noble traits which command
the respect of thinking men.
Since the world has ever had, and
ever will have, it's heroes or ideals,
clearly it is of prime importance that
it have none but the very best placed
before it. Truly worthy heroes and
ideals are among the worlds most
prolific sources OF great deeds. It goes
without saying that the example of
generals like Napoleon and our own
Washington served, as well as any
other cause, to spur on their men to
Seats of valor when the army's cour-
age was on the point of failing. And,
not to enter into too many details, the
same holds true in every other walk
or department OF life. It is the pace
set by the leaders, the examplars-in
word, by the heroes-that urges on
their admirers to attempt the per-
Torrance of worthy, if not of positive
ly great, deeds. They may not be
able-in most cases, they will not be
able-to attain to the ideal; to rival
the achievements of their idols. But
at all events, it is well to aim high.
Like the prudent marskman, we must
make a little allowance for the law OF
gravity, and the consequent drop in
distance. If the hero-worshiper can.
not equal the brilliant acts of his
hero. at least he can follow him at a
respectable distance, and even SO
much is a great gain both for him,
self personally and for society at
large.

GOOD JOKE ON PORTLY MAN
Weeks of Abstinence from the Pleas
ures of the Table Proved un-
necessary.

CASTOR Reeves, weighing in the
neighborhood of three hundrd pounds,
and the most famous feeder in New
York, awoke one day with a stitch in
his side. The stitch hurt and Reeves
went to doctor about it.
The doctor examined, diagnosed,
consulted and finally said there must
be an operation, for, although there
was nothing so very bad the matter,
the trouble might develop and it was
better to have the cause removed.
But" said the doctor, before I can
operate you must get rid of lot of
that flesh"
"How?" asked Reeves.
Train it off, - said the doctor. You
must do it if you do not want to
shorten your life There is no telling
when you will have to be CUT
Reeves went to Muldoon's, where
the fare is plain and the work is hard
He beat down his longing for fancy
food, stuck sturdily to his task of get,
ting rid of flesh, worked harder than
he ever did in his life, didn't have a
bit of fun, and was constantly tor.
mented with thoughts of the good
things to eat he was missing
Finally, he had taken off SO pounds
He went to the doctor Now" he
said, II have taken Off 50 pounds OF
/ flesh after torments of the damned
but I am hard as nails, so go ahead
with the operation, SO I can begin to
live again
! Whereupon the doctor made another
examination, told Mr.. Reeves he had
been mistaken and that an operation
wasn't necessary after all.-Saturday

LIvino the Heavenly Life Now,

When the disciples were on the
Mount of TRANSPORTATION, they want
ed to stay there and continue the
TRANSPORTATION companionship and
glory. But they could not do this
they had to return to the struggles
and temptations Of the lower world.
We, too, have our TRANSPORTATION vi
sions, but they come only to give us
new assurance and strength. We must
return again to our work and our
daily life of care. But the master
wants us always to live the transfig-
uration life, to live every moment as
if the holy vision were shining before
our eyes. We are to carry the COM
munion fact and spirit with us to our
homes. We are to live the immortal
life wherever we go.

A PRAYER.

Heavenly Father, we thank thee for
making clear in thy word the blessed
ness of service. Teach us the SUI
premacy of our allegiance to thee as
above all claim of earthly profit. Help
us to count all things but loss to gain
Christ and the joy of thy salvation. AS
we walk by the quiet paths or the rug
ged ways of our earthly life, give us
to be a friend to many and to bring
others into the joy of friendship with
Christ. Put heart into Us, 0 Lord, for
our days work, and use our weakness
to teach us thy power, limitless and
everlasting, that saveth to the utter
most all who trust in thee.

THE STORY,


IT WAS during the period of the
Maccabees. Word had reached the
kingdom of Greece that at Jerusalem
in the land of the Jews the people
served and worshiped God unknown
to the land where Jupiter held sway,
and the question arose in the mind Of
the king:
How can we allow such things to
be? Is not this an affront upon our
great god, Jupiter, who has made
Greece great? Our god may well be
jealous and call into question our low
atty to him If we allow such things to
be-"
And having thus spoken with the
great men of his realm, and having re-.
ceived their encouragement In the
matter, he chose one of the old men
of Athens who had long served in the
temple of Jupiter Olympus and sent
him to Jerusalem with the command
that he should compel the Jews to de-
part from the laws of their fathers,
and from the God whom they had been
serving, and to do homage only to the
great god of the Greeks, the mighty
Jupiter.
So he came with power and author
ity to carry out the kings decree, And
1t may well be imagined that his com.
ing caused great CONSERVATION In the
city, for they saw their beautiful tenn
pie taken possession of by the Gen.
tiles and profaned with the worshin oF
the god Jupiter. On a certain dav. ac-
cording to proclamation made through
out the city, the temple was re-dedi-
Gated to the god Jupiter, and the
Gentiles filled it with all manner Of
rfoting and reveling. And when there
were certain of the Jews who would
not conform to the new Worship mr.
yield to the evil customs which tha
Greeks had instituted, neither would
depart from the laws of Moses. n
aroused the bitterest passions on the
part of the Gentiles, and persecution
broke forth.
One of the honorable men of the
city, a scribe named Eleazar, who was
| now well-along in years but who had
ever been loyal to the law of Moses,
beheld with horror the things which
had come to pass in the city, and
raised his voice against them, urging
the people to suffer death rather than
| to pollute themselves by yielding to
the demands of the wicked Greeks.
what If the Greeks have declared
it unlawful to keep our Sabbath
days?" he cried in the streets. What
If they declare that we must share in
| their feasts and pay homage to their
god? Shall we forget our God and his
law? What if we gain our lives at
the hands of these wicked Gentiles
and lose them before our God, the God
| Abraham and Isaac and jacob"
Some listened to the words of the
| old man while others turned in fear
| away, saying under their breath:

the high labor cost of applying them,
brings the total cost of the job up
equal to that of finished clapboarding.
The extra thickness of this rough sid
ing is in it's favor also where warmth
and durability are of Importance.
The gable ends of this bungalow are
finished with cement plaster Of the
natural gray color and applied with a
pebble-dash finish. Four inch strips. b
inches thick, are used to divide the
plaster coat into panels. giving an
English half timber effect. These
strips should be securely nailed to the
sheathing boards, through the cement
plaster. before the same has hard
ened.
AS will be seen from the floor plan
the interior arrangement of this cosy
little bungalow leaves little to be de-
sired. There are five good rooms be.
sides vestibule, pantry. bathroom. two
closets and the hall.
The living room is 2Ox14 feet and is
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1909-11-13

very well lighted. 1t has a practical
fireplace that is meant for business,
in the middle of one end. There are
seats built in on each side of the
fireplace and under the high windows.
The dining room is a very attrac'
tive apartment, separated from the
living room by an artistic columned
opening. A square bay window with
easement sash is a feature Of the
room.
The kitchen is arranged to save
steps. 1t is not too large, being 11x10
feet, and is light and airy.
The sleeping end Of this design is
arranged to give a surprising amount
OF privacy for a bungalow Two good
sized chambers are provided, each
with a clothes closet. The bathroom
opening off the hall, is located De
tween the two bedrooms.
The estimated cost of this bunga
low, using hardwood floors and yellow
pine trim, has been placed at $4,000

SERMONETTE.


the seed of the church.
In all ages of the worlds his
tory there have been those who
have been called upon to suffer
for righteousness sake.
Since the days of Abel the
evil heart of man has been in
famed by the evidence of good
ness in others and has led to
deeds of violence.
Evil has no fellowship with
the works of Righteousness and
when these last are manifest
and condemn the evil, it gives
rise to those evil passions of
which persecution and murder
are the very core.
Jesus laid down just one rule
for his disciples when persecu-
tions come for Righteousness
sake, and that was a passive re-
sistance and love for those who
dispitefuiIy used them.
"Blessed are ye," he said,
"when men shall reviIe you, and
prosecute you, and shall say all
manner of evil against you
falsely, for my sake. Rejoice
and be exceedingly glad; for
great is your reward in Heaven,
for SO prosecuted they the
prophets which were before
you"
The man who suffers In a
righteous cause, even unto
death, is but adding those e!e.
ments which ultimately make
for victory.
It is not q life lost but life
saved. 1t is not an influence
ended, but mighty influence be-
gun which will increase with
the years and help to bring to
pass that final triumph of
Righteousness which is to mark
the triumphal return of Christ
and his complete rule over all
the earth.
Those who suffered In the
days of the Maccabees for their
loyalty to God and his law have
not been forgotten In Heaven,
nor has their influence ceased
upon the earth. 1t takes more
than the hand of wicked men to
destroy the truth.
The truth of God, crushed to
earth, is sure to rise again with
increased power.
"a had tainted" exclaims the
Psalmist, SUNLESS had believed
to see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living"
We need the same faith.
Such vision of the final tri-
umph of God and his righteous.
ness in the world is the only
thing which can sustain in the
hour of persecution.
While Christians are not
called upon to suffer martyrdom
as in the period of the dark
ages, still prosecutions come in
other forms and the same
spirit of loyalty to God and love
for those who despise God and
his servants is as necessary to-
day as in any past age.

Burns Parker, son OF James Parker,
wus born July II, 1895, and was
drowned July 10, 1909, close at the
age of fifteen. He left home for the
purpose OF going in swimming with
seven other boys, not thinking that
would be the last tine he should
ever leave home alive. But life is
uncertain and death Is sure. He has
left this world of sorrow to join his
mother and sister, who crossed the
chilly tide of death some time ago.
1t was so hard for father, stepmother
and sisters and brothers but the
Lords will be done.
To the bereaved ones, If you want
to see Burns and Mary you must get
ready for death. Burns is only
asleep in Jesus, He has paid a debt
that one and all must pay. He Was

him. HIS COUSIN
