Flowers and vegetables in the back

1HE BOOSTERS PRAYER.

4oh, Lord, forbid that we should pc

ers.p~-Rev. M. /. Butler.
II was a Chickisha preacher who
sent that petition up to the throne of
divine grace.
somehow or another, we think tne
Lord must like prayer like that. We
don't believe he wants any Of his chill
dren to be knockers; we feel sure that
Il IS His viii that every one Of them
should be helpers.
when the worlc Of creation was I'M
ished. the Master Workman looked up
81 ii and pronounced it good, indeed.
He said is was VERY good.
Now that is a very different view
from the one which Mr.. Knocker is
nersistently voicing ITS all bad,
saws the knocker-people are bad,
down is bad, churches are bad and the
whole country Is going to the demni-
tisa bow-wows! Alas, for the narrow
views, the contracted soul OF the
klocker! Well, may he pray to be de-
livered from beclouding error which
enshrouds his poor soul.
It may be inferred from the preach
er's prayer .hat he makes sharp ais
tinction between knockers and helpers
and We think he is right. These two
classes Of individuals move in entirely
different spheres, as far removed from
each other as the East from the West
there is nothing in common between
them. The knocker is destructive
while the helper is constructive.
The men who are helping this OLE
world along, who are striving for tn
betterment OF town. country, churcl
and state are not knockers. The ener
gies Of the knocker are all expended y
tearing down while the helper devote
himself to building UP. The great me

their names in history as conqueroI
III the domain Of science and disco
cry. as captains in the world Of indu
try. commerce and every other field
human achievement-these men haN
not been knockers but helpers, ju
what the Lord wants them TO be.
Helper IS just another name for
booster, and SO we may paraphrase Il
preachers prayer: Lord, may we
boosters We are admonished in Il
Scriptures to examine ourselves" az
therefore let us apply the test
we belong to the class Of croakei
--knockers-who are contir

cording to our narrow vision, are
wrong. or do we belong to the tho
whose motto is look up, lift up?"

THE KING or ALL FOOLS.

Pardon the suggestion, gentle read
er; we mean no offense. We are talk
Ing about fools and we know you are
not one Of them. Besides we confess
to being somewhat Of fool ourself
ana we therefore have license TO talk
about them
Now who Is the king of fools? We
have been studying this question very
lSrofoundly and our researches have
been thorough and extensive, We find
that the genus fool is very large one
and the number Of species IS almost
unlimited 1t was difficult question
tc settle, put at the end Of our long
and painstaking investigation, we have
discovered that the king Of the tribe
is--
The man who worries.
The essence OF the FOOLS nature, IN.
deed the one thing which makes him
fool, IS the TACT that he is not gov
erned by reason; he is either lacking
III his reason department or he Is SO
entirely under the domination Of his
feelings that reason cuts little figure
in governing him.
Can anybody give "a good reason for
worry? Mark the word. reason" we
didn't say cause" Anybody knows
there are plenty OF causes for worry,
but there is absolutely no reason why
those causes which usually operate
should be allowed to upset us, making
us grouchv and miserable all our days.
In fact, all the reason is on the other
side
What is your reason for worrying
There is no good reason for it, unless
worrying produces some desirable re-
suit. Does 1T?
i Does worrying help you to right the
matters which you worry over? No
4 ii hinders you. for the individual whose
soul is in turmoil is in measure in
capacitated for doing lis best work
For this, il for no other reason, yoi
should put the brakes on your worrl
wheels.
Certainly you VIII not contend tha
worrying over a thing makes you fee
} any better or any happier, unless yo
are like one Of those people who ar
/ said to enjoy poor health,
E Certainly you don't think your wol
i rying and stewing helps anybody els'
/, Reason and common sense tells yo
i that it has quite the contrary effec
s making you dispenser Of turmo
n and gloom
D. We challenge you to produce sil
Il gle good reason for worrying. Yo
IS can't do IL and we return to our orig
i. nal conclusion:
5. The biggest fool in the world is Il
ii person who is least governed by re
re son.

Solo rOCk. On one side runs the
railroad, part of the way hewed
from the rocky walls. On the
other side road crawls along I'M
der, the precipice.
The homes Of the miners hang
to the narrow bits of terrace found
here and there, and the coal mines
punctured the cliffs high above
the water, like the nests of king
fishers on the bluffs of the smaller
streams.
Just one place for miles road
finds its way out of the gorge to
the mountain, and it turns and
winds from shelf to shelf of the
jutting spurs of the cliff in what
seems a perilous manner. 1t is
the only means whereby wagons
may enter the gorge or get out,
unless they come on a freight car.
There one day they buried forty
or fifty victims of serious acct
dent, and the beholder of that
spectacle comprehended the vast
ness of the forces that inspired
creation.
Wagons carried the somber bur
dens up the cliff sides out of the
gorge. A band played dirge as
the procession climbed upward,
and the echoes ringing from noun
tain to mountain were terrible in
their solemn and repeated note. |
had reached the place on a late
night train, and all through the
dark hours until the morning the
keening and wailing of the sur
vivors fl ! d the valley with sorrow.
The unsurpassed grief of these
stricken people was pitiful as the
funeral dragged its slow length up
the mountain side.
But at the top what a change,
Back from the gorge little dis
lance the table-land spread away
for miles and the river was COM
pletely shut out. Far in the dis
lance the sottened SUBMITS OF
neighboring ranges lifted their
heads and the bright sunlight,
streaming over field and forest,
suggested that the Lord God still
smiled upon the the earth.
The funeral of so many at one
time had something to do with the
effectiveness of the scene, for it is
impossible to escape some feel
ing of emotion at the grief Of 9TH
ers, even the most distant stranger.
But with that was the immensely
and the grandeur of the mountain
scenery.
One Of these days it will be pos
sible to get into the West Virginia
mountain from all points, and then
the splendor and sublimity of the
mountains of the Appalachian
system will attract travellers who
appreciate the greatest work of
creation. and such travellers will
not be disappointed.
Unfortunately for the traveller to
the South, the time to see the
mountains and to be in the noun
tains is in the summer, the time
when travel southwark is not at its
high tide. Yet the man coming
South who delights in mountain
scenery will get more than the
worth of his money by arranging
his journey, even in the winter,
that he may come by the Allie
ghenies and the Shenandoahs,
where he can see the Fairgrounds
of the StupenduOus forces of Ma
ture, those giants who with vol
canic, hydraulic and atmospheric
agencies have tossed.the hills and
valleys about as a boy would a
handful of toys. There is no need
to go to Europe to see magnificent
scenery. 1t is convenient to all of
us a home.
