BELIEF.
Baltimore Sun.


II / were asked what l believe, 1 could
not help but say,
The gentle and the simple creeds Of boy
hoods yesterday
The tender faith in Bible things, the
truth, the way, the right,
The golden rule to live ones life accord
ing to the light;
And everywhere the thought OF God, that
we are everywhere
The children Of one Fathers love and OF
His heavenly care.
II I were asked what believe, know
my thoughts would 60
Back to a little child at prayer in the
soft evenglow;
And can think OF nothing else so beau
tiful, so sweet,
AS prayer beside q mothers knee who
tried to lead our feet
In paths of righteousness and truth
where none could go astray
From that dear life OF simple trust In
childhood's yesterday.
II 1 were asked what I believe I'd have
to say as then,
A simpler faith in Gods commands, q
manlier trust 'mong men,
A clear and more abiding course tward
that which men might call
The straight-out- from-the-shoulder faith
OF Peter and OF Paul;
The teachings, most of all, that came to
us in Sunday school,
Way back in little childhood's land, the
land of Golden Rule.

Women and the Farm

Mrs. Belmont's Long Island farm
for women has come to dismal and
definite failure. The girls MIXED
the cows, fed the chickens and
pitched the. hay until the novelty
wore off and then they began to
filter back through the country by.
ways to Little Old New York" II
was the gay life for them then. The
pastoral peace OF bucholic simplicity
did not quite fill the bill. Mrs. Bel
mont, therefore, must contrlve an
other means of turning the tide OF
migration from the farm to the city
II she expects to be the first sue
cessful pioneer in this much-vaunted
philanthropy.
There is a good deal to be done
about a farm that is not poetic, alto
gether. Life there is real and even
stern. Just as It is elsewhere.
Plainly, Mrs. Belmont sailed out on
entirely too ideal level to make
the thing practical. But Mrs. Har-
riet Ashby, another woman with a
penchant for helping the farmers
wife to enjoy life and to get young
women in cities to become farming
women, is not disconnected by the
Long Island failure. She is pro-
ceeding with her agitation among
Colorado women who manage farms
and has conceived the delicate idea
of establishing theaters for them
out on the homesteads 80 that they
will not be lonely and lonesome for
the gay life they may have left be-
hind them In town.
There are farmer women in Colo
RADIO and other western states, but
as a rule they are not asking the aid
OF any reformers or agitators in
making life pleasant for them. The
back-to-the-farm movement, like
most every other worthy cause, has
been taken up by the faddist and, in
some cases, burlesqued. That will
not help It. II will not tend to give
1t serious effect. On the other hand
It may impede its real progress. Why
cannot the self-seeking step aside
and let the earnest-minded people &c
ahead as best they can with what
under any circumstances is bound
to be hard Job? Loneliness is
comparative and some folks on the
farm are always going to pine for
gayer environs. The man in the city
young or old, is going to be hard to
move toward the farm. Mere senti-
ment will not move him. II he goes,
It will be because he finds that his
physical and financial welfare will
profit by It. The project is able to
bear all the practical sense that may
be put into It, but II cannot stand on
nonsense and sentimentality.

SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT.

Chicago Post: A pastor bars big hats
in church, but probably on the theory
that they shut out the sound OF his voice.
St. Paul Dispatch: A pastor of a Cleve-
land church announced at the Baptist
ministers conference in thGt city that
the fees received for performing marriage
ceremonies are no more than waiter
tips and should be refused. Coming as It
does from Rev. Lemon It sounds very
much like sour grapes.
Harpers Weekly: The challenge of the
church Is the same as the challenge OF
steam and electricity and gravltation:
Use me! 1t is a great power waiting 20
be developed. 1t Is an immense organiza-
ton that needs only to be harnessed 10 Its

thought desirable for divinity schools to

The President in Omaha.

Omaha today is honored with an
other visit from the president Of the
United States.
While the time given to Omaha
comes on a Sabbath, and will be de-
voted chiefly TO rest from the ardu-
Gus duties of a long tour, an oppor-
tunity will be accorded our people
to greet and hear the president at
a Sunday afternoon meeting in the
Auditorium, where he will speak on
the very appropriate subject of
World Peace" What the president
has TO say on this uppermost topic
will doubtless have added force and
find specific object lessons in the
war drama that is threatening be-
tween Italy and Turkey, and the
general unrest that permeates Euro
pean powers.
II there is any one thing more
than another in which all the people
are IN thorough accord with the
presidents efforts, It Is, we believe,
in HIS avowed purpose to promote
the movement for world peace, and
the ending OF armed conflict be-
tween the nations.
Aside from this, the president in
his own personality is assured OF a
cordial welcome on the part Of
Omaha and Nebraska, which he en-
ters here, where he will find only
we'll wishers, irrespective of pollti-
cal differences.

Guarding Apainst s.le Rnt.

Whatever ones occupation may
be, however serviceable to himself
or others, he must guard against the
danger OF falling into the rut, of
growing dull in his work or allow
ing It to grow dull to him. Once in
the rut, he becomes mere hack,
his vocation loses its charm for him,
its chief benefit 70 others and drags
him and itself down to the level of
the mediocre and time-serving plane.
IL simply becomes drudgery and he
drudge.
One way to avoid this dangerous
pitfall is to find new interest and
greater value in ones work each
day. That, of course, is not so easy
where the highest standard of ones
service is measured by the dollar
mark. 1t is all right to make the
test unitarian, but let the utility
have an intrinsic side which money
cannot measure. That is not to
speak disparagingly of money, or OF
those occupations highly remunera-
tive in themselves. They are none
the less beneficial and laudable be-
cause of their emoluments, but they
would lose in character of influence
II this worthy element in them were
made the one absorbing element.
Details and routine make up life
and most of life's occupations. The
man or woman who fails to recog-
nize that often comes to grief But
at the same time routine is some
thing that has to be guarded
against, to avoid becoming its vic
tim. In some professions and trades
1t is very hard to keep from this. In
school teaching 1t is especially so.
DR.. William T. Harris, formerly com
missioner of education, says that a
majority Of school teachers succumb
to the mere routine level within
three or four years and from that
time on simply are feeding material
to a machine. 1t is pleasantest to
think that is overdrawn. But II
nevertheless serves to remind us of
the disastrous consequences of a
teacher gone to seed, so to speak.
The poor pupil pays the penalty. In
the end the community, of which
this pupil one day becomes an in
tegral part and to which he is sup
posed to contribute something vital,
pays the penalty.
The person who finds contentment
in his work for works sake, that is
for the sake of the good the work
can be made to produce, is not likely
to lapse into this state of desuetude.
And more than that, one should at
tempt, no matter what his occupa-
ton may be, to master it and keep
on growing in 1t and widening his
sphere of influence and in time his
job will get so big that he will not
have time to grow dull or routine
in doing 1t.
