BRINGING IN THE
new YEARS WATER

Perhaps in no part of the British
Isles is the New Year heralded with
more quaint and curious customs than
In Pembrokeshire. That picturesque
county abounds with strange customs
and rare superstitions, and if you are
a lover of the curious and picturesque
customs of bygone days, the day OF
days to be in Pembrokeshire is on
January /.
You will very probably be awakened
by the strains of some musical instru-
INDEPENDENTLY a concertina or &C.
Gordon, but a m%outh-organ will 10
and the singing of children's voices
OF the following words
Rise up a New Years morning,
The cocks are all a-crowing;
And IL you think Il Is too soon.
Rise up and look az the stars ard moon.
II you are enthusiastic enough to
descend you will find a group OF boys
of all ages on your doorstep. armed
with little cups or mugs Of cold water
and sprigs OF box, clamoring for
the New Years water" to be taken
in. II you accede to their request, the
Bprigs of box are dipped into the New
Years water" and a tiny shower
sprinkled over your face.
This is supposed to bring great good
luck to you and your household, but
three things must be carefully OBJ
seryed-the bearers of good luck must
come inside your door, every member
OF the household must go through this
ordeal by water to ensure luck to him
self. or herself, and the bringers of
the luck must be rewarded in a man
:ner suitable to your position. The
weil-to-do give small silver, and per-
rhaps refreshments; others coppers;
and some of the poorest sweets, or
-anges, nuts, cake, etc.
Every good Pembrokeshire house
wife laws in a store Of small coins and
good things of the season. in readiness
o the early visits Of the youth of her
town or village, and many deny them
selves to do this. To assert that the
bringing of the New Years water
does not bring good luck would be re
garded as rank blasphemy.
Girls are considered very unlueky to
enter your house first on New Years
Day, and dark persons are preferred
ito those of fair complexion as luck
tbringers. To avoid anything SO ter
Irfble as the entry Of a girl or WON
an or a fair person first on New Years
Day. the doors are kept locked, ane
when q knock is heard the caller Il
either inspected from q window. o.
some other coign Of vantage, or IN
1terrogated through the closed door.
This all may appear very absurd il
print, but if you pay q visit 10 Ienp'
or some other place in the premiel
county of Wales" you will enter int
the spirit of the thing, and feel the oe
light of hearing the familiar greetns
"A Happy New Year accompanie'
by a tiny jet of icy water on you
face.

A NEW EARS PRAYER.

In the new year may we keep our
reverence unimpaired for the hum
ble-minded, and those who have suf-
fered much; our humor alert for our
own mistakes and our self-suffi cheney,
and not at any time wreak it upon
the aged, the crippled, the obscure,
May we guard childhood and honor
age however infirm and petulant, be-
cause it has gone a long way on the
same road that bruises our feet; and
ever seek to prolong the brief moment
of joy as it visits children and lovers.
May we have the grace to rejoice in
the flow of life as it moves through
from generation to generation, and to
be purified by the mystery in which
we dwell-the night s~ilences and the
wonder of our inner life. May we
know that humanity is vaster than
any creed of it's devising, any church
of its building, any religion of its
shaping. May we look upon the wide
spread spectacle of human suffering
and, having endured to look upon it,
learn to know our single life-seem-
ingly SO unique-as a drop of that in
finite sea-. When it comes our time
o realize that in this earthly progress
e shall not long dwell with happiness
r with success, may we clear our
brit of bitterness, and in calm
trength continue at the work.-CoE
ier's Weekly.

The golden text is in this case =
very good introduction to the review
of the work of the past quarter. Jesus
had tent his disciples up to the Je-
rusalem feast. while he remained in
Galilee. whittier he had gone for fear
of the Jews John I'D. When they
arrived in Jerusalem they found a
sharp division among the people, some
for and some against him John Z:
1919. Jesus secretly followed his
disciples, and suddenly in the midst
Of the feast he is found in the temple
teaching. That his teaching was diff
ferent is evidenced from John 7:15.
1t is also evident that he had a thor
ough knowledge of culture and the
things of the scholastics Of his day.
The inquiry as to where he acquired
his knowledge ELECTS the reply that,
My teaching is not mine, but his
that sent me-" and then as II to prove
the accuracy of his assertion, he uses
the words of the Golden Text. Those
who desire to know the will of God
will find that his words express that
will perfectly, and as men obey his
words the divine origin of them will
he demonstrated.

In the fifth lesson Jesus rebukes the

Twas a faltering reply, but indicated
his surrender to the word and will of
Christ. The demonstration he re-

words Of Jesus was that his boy was
restored to him fully healed.
Again in lesson ten this principle
that an absolute and complete submits

shown by the teachings Of Jesus
which center about the child that was

Lesson eleven deals with the sub

disciples to as definite testing of his

Two Residences Burned

Last Saturday about II o'clock
the alarm of fire was turned
in from the south part Of the
town and it was discovered that
the building occupied by Bob
Stoker and family was burning.
People rushed to the scene with
all possible haste and everything
within the power of a willing set
of men and an active bucket
brigade was done to save the
building but the fire had gotten
too much the start, hence uncon-
trohable. The building was
owned by a Mr.. Harris and was
valued at possibly $1,000; no in
surance. Mr.. Stoker lost all Of
his household goods on which he
had $500 insurance.
A hard fight was made to save
the next house north which was
owned by Mr.. Stoker but the
wind was blowing a stiff breeze
from the south which made II
impossible to save the building
and it too was soon reduced TO
ashes. The building was valued
at $500 with $1,000 insurance.
This building was occupied by
J. NJ. Hughes and family and the
greater part of the household
good were saved but still Mr..
Hughes is looser some several
hundred dollars.
Mr.. Stoker Informed the Ava
lanche that he expected TO re.
build soon. He and family are
at present living with j. NJ.
Wright near Ripley.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 10. --
II do not believe that the situa-

This was the declaration on the
floor of the senate today by SEN

demand by Senator Fall of New
Mexico that this country recog-
