BIBLE LITTLE KNOWN TODAY.
DIR. Lyman Abbott Says Book Is
Strange to This Generation.

DIR. Lyman Abbott, editor Of the
Outlook, in a recent issue of his period
ical, tells a few incidents which indi-
cate that the Bible is a sealed book to
this generation.
"a few years ago I was speaking on
political reform in one of the great
cities of the United States,'' he writes.
"On the platform were some of the
first citizens of the city.
81 took up the pocket Bible which l
generally carry with me wherever L
go, and, saying, 4 have here an old
book which is a favorite with me- pro-
ceeded to read Jotham's parable of the
trees from the book of Judges.
1.-TWO gentlemen on the platform
asked me what the book was from
which I read the story: one of them
was a Judge in one of the courts of the
state
"A friend of mine. a teacher of
geography in a large secondary school,
all of whose pupils came from Guilt
waited families and many CT them from
church-going families, asked her class
of over fifty members if they could
recall any we'll known historical Incl
dent connected with Egypt
Getting no reply. she limited at the
fact that the Jews came out OF Egypt
and attempted to recall to them the
story of Joseph. but not one of them
could give her any account of it, and
one of them, franker than the rest,
came to her afterward. puzzled to
know what the Bible had to do with
geography.
Another friend of mine. a teacher
in a church Sunday school of a girls
class all of whom were daughters of
church-going parents and all of whom
had been for some years in Sunday
school classes, asked her class why
Pharaoh sought to kill Moses and got
fer reply that it was at the time of the
birth of Jesus and Pharaoh attempted
to put all the babies to death. To this
answer all the the pupils except one
agreed.
Some years ago two ladies in a
western town were coming out of a
concert hall where the cantata of
Queen Esther had been given One
was overheard saying to the other:
That was a very beautiful story I
wonder where the composer found it ?
And the other did not know.

A man with Joseph's faith and
faithfulness cannot be defeated. He
must succeed. Compare these quail
ties with those which successful BUSH
ness men of today tell us are needed,
and see how much men like Joseph
are in demand. What does the world
want? Men who cannot be bought.
Men whose word is their bond. Men
Who put character above wealth. Men
who possess opinions and will. Men
who are larger than their vocations.
Men who see the divine in the com
mon. Men who will make no COM
promise with wrong. Men who have
the courage to do their duty in sill
ence and obscurity. while others
about them win wealth and notoriety
by neglecting sacred obligations
the man with high ideals.''

ance. that reveals character. Joseph

Just stand aside and watch yourself go
Think Of yourself as ..he', not IT.
Note closely, as in other men you note,
The bag-kneed trousers and the seedy
coat.
Pick flaws; find fault; forget the man is
And strive to make your estimate ring
Confront yourself and look you in the
eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself go by.
Interpret all your motives just as though
You looked one one whose aim you did
Let undisguised contempt surge thru you
when
You see your shrek, o commonest of

Despise your cowardice, condemn whate'er
You note of falseness in you any where.
Defend not one defect that shames your

Just Stand aside and watch yourself go

And then, with eyes unveiled to what you
loath
To sin that with sweet charity you'd
Back to your self-walled tenements you'n

With tolerance for all who dwell below.
The faults of others then will dwarf and
shrink;
Loves chain grow stronger by one mighty
When you. with che" as substitute for ''I''
Have stood aside and watched yourself
go by.

Don,ts for Churchmen.

Don't preach on sunshine if you live
in the fog.
Don't expect to attain greatness if
you cannot admire it.
Don't try to preserve faith by en-
balming it in ancient verbiage.
Don't forget the truth is found only
by following what you have.
Don't forget that you may fight a
lie and still not follow the truth.
Don't fail to learn that character is
what we wrest from temptation.
Don't overlook the fact that life's
danger lies not in its height, but in it's
cliffs.
Don't fail to learn that faith is Of
ten the sense for facts as set above
all fallacies.
Don't get SO anxious over impending
storms that you shut out all present
sunlight.
Don't forget that no man has so
many friends that he can afford to de-
spise any of them.
Don't fail to note the difference be-
tween seeing to do and doing in order
to be seen.
Don't fail to note that when the
back of today is broken it's always
done by tomorrow's burden.

While plants can stand great ex-

them Water should be given only

suffer permanent Injury from ex-

Heavy clayey soils sour easily. while
light loamy soils dry out quickly. and
unless carefully watched the plants In
such soil soon will wilt. In either
case it Is better to water thoroughly
and only when needed than to water
sparingly and often.
The season and time Of day should
be considered In watering. Plants not

sparingly until they have regained
