The old man went to meeting, For the day was bright and fair, Though his steps were slow and tottering, And twas hard to travel there; But he hungered for the gospel And he trudged the weary way, On the road so rough and dusty, Meath the suns hot burning ray. By and by he reached the building, To his soul holy place, And he paused to wipe the sweat
 drops
 From off his wrinkled face. And he looked around bewildered; For the old bell did not toll, And the door was shut and bolted, And he did not see a soul. So he leaned upon his pilgrims
 staff
 And said, What does this
 mean 2"
 And he looked this way and that, Till it seemed to him a dream He had walked the dusty highway, And he breathed a heavy sigh; Just to go once more to meeting, Ere the summons came to die. Soon he saw a little notice
 Hacked upon the meeting door, And he limped along to read it, And he read it o'er and OCT. And he wiped his dusty glasses, And he read it o'er again Till his limbs began to tremble, And his eyes were full of pain. As he read the oldest notice, How his heart within him
 burned
 Pastor Absent on Vacation, Church Is Closed till His Re-
 turn"
 And he wandered slowly backward, And he sat him down to think, For his soul was stirred within
 him,
 Till he thought his heart would
 sink.
 Andhe wandered slowly backward, To himself soliloquized: "I have lived till almost eighty, And was never so surprised, As when l saw that oldest notice Stuck upon the meeting door; Pastor absent on vacation, Never heard the like before. "Why, when 1 first joined the
 meeting,
 Very many years ago, Preachers travelled on the circuits In the heat and through the
 snow.
 If they had their clothes and
 victuals.

EDUCATE FOR PARTING

The Farm and Ranch, the greatest agricultural paper of Texas, very aptly says: There are plenty of our young men prepared in law, medi- cine and politics." and then asks: Why not prepare for agriculture and help build up your country ?"
 Help build up your country--that is the thing. Not from great pur- pose of patriotic philanthropy, but for just the same reason that you would build up your own private interests-because by building up your country. you build up yourself.
 And agriculture is not only the structure of which your co untry is composed, but is the very founda- ton upon which it rests. All other lines of human endeavor have been boosted, encouraged and built up by education, and the most important of all left to the last. But the peo- pie are seeing the light" and edu- cation in farming is being provided
 And, Mena, feeling the importance of this move is going to do much to provide an agricultural school right here in Polk county,

 Equal Standard of Purity for Both
 Sexes.

AS this subject IS being discussed in the Household, l will endeavor to add my mite.
 Although a man, l have always been an exponent of the same code of morals for both men and women. On Sunday, not long slime, as was standing before my Sunday school class of twenty young men and women, l could not help asking myself the question: "Why this difference?"
 The answer comes back: It is the double standard of purity that pub lie sentiment has erected. While our girls are at church, Sun day school, and such places, our boys are loafing on the streets, spouting out their vile oatils, or telling some vulgar anecdote, smoking and chew ing tobacco; sometimes drinking and gambling; and that is not all, those very same boys will, on Sunday evening send compliments to some of the very best and purest girls in town, asking them for their company to church that night, and will be accepted-Yes. sireel Sometimes, without the slightest provoeation on the part of the girls, they will use every effort in their power to crush the virtue of that girl. even going so far as to promise to marry her. know that is plain, but have known such cases, and so have you. have heard men tell of their conquests and brag about them.
 While this is the case, some of the better boys of the community may be refused by the very same girls A young man may succeed in ruin ing girl, and yet that don't effect his standing, while the girl is ostra- cised from society, and her former friends turn their backs on her, he still goes on and there is nothing held against him.
 know of a case of recent occur renee. The young lady, fine look ing, good, kind, intelligent and lov- ing daughter of fond and indulgent parents, was tcnderly brought up, we'll educated and we'll cared for. They were particular as to the com pany she kept. She was allowed to keep company with an apparently nice young man, who indulged in some of the sinful practices common to most men; in other words, he was a double standard" man: thought man could do some things with |impunity that would make an out cast of woman fovever, and still he would be accorded a welcome in the best homes of the land.
 What was the consequence? It is with sad heart attempt to picture the dark scene that followed.
 Take look into that once happy home. the hush of death is there; there IS, as it were, dark cloud lowering over it. It is the midnight hour. the father away on business the mother, after so many sleepless and sorrowful nights. with her pil- low bathed with the tears of brok- | en heart. has fallen asleep.

God Knows Best.

Some time, when all lifes lessons have
been learned,
And sun and stars forevcrmorc have
set,
here has spurned
The things Ger which we gricved
with lashes wet,
Will flash before us out of life's dark
night,
AS stars shine most in deeper tints
Of blue,
And we shall see how all Gods plans
were right,
And how what seemed reproof was
love most true.
And it, some time, commingled with
life's wine,
We find the wormwood, and rebel
and shrink,
Be sure a wiser hand than yours or
mine
Pours out this potion for our lips
to drink;
And if some friend we love is lying
low,
Where human kisses cannot reach
his face,
Oh! clio not blame the loving Father so,
But bear your sorrow with obedient
And you shall shortly know that
heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends
His friend,
And that sometimes the sable pail of
death
Conceals the fairest boon His love
If we could push ajar the gates of
life,
And stand within and all Gods
working see.
We could interpret all this doubt and
strife,
And for each mystery could find a
key.
But not today. Then be content, poor
heart:
Gods plans, like lilies pure and
white, unfold;
We must not tear the close shut
leaves apart:
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold,
And if through patient toll we reach
the land
Where tired feet. with sandals loose,
may rest,
When VIC shall clearly know and I'M
dcrstand,
l think that we shall say that God
knows best"

AS I never shall sing again;
I have gazed on the shambles CORY,
I have smelled of the slaughter pen.
There is blood in the maxwell clothed,
There are stains on the laurel-leaf,
And the pages of Fame are blotted
With the tears OF needless grief.
The bird is slaughtered for fashion,
And the beast is killed for sport;
And never the word compassion
Is whispered at Moloch's court.
For the parent seal in the water
Is slain, and her child must die,
That some sister or wife or daughter
Her beauty may beautify.
And the mcrciful thought we smother

AS we murder the useless mother
For the unborn astrakan."

For the rarest sport of all:
Will His patience endure forever,
Who noteth sparrows fall?
When the volleys Of hell are sweeping
The sea and the battle plain,
Do you think that our God is sleeping,
And never to wake again?
When hunger and ravenous fever
Are Staying the wasted Frame
Shall we worship the red deceiver,
The devil that men call Fame?
We may swing the censor to cover
The odor of blood in vain:
