Was anything ever done by any one
who was afraid?
Would Columbus have made his
discovery of the new world if he had
been burdened with the dark forebod-
ings?
Would the gospel ever have been
preached to the remoteSt parts of the
world if the missionary had feared his
missionf
Would there have been United
States if the signers of the declaration
of independence had feared for their
lives, as well as they might?
Would the railroads have crossed
the continent and pierced the desert.
and would our captains of industry
have had the courage of their convic-
tionS, in building our induStrieS-the
wonder of the world in size, output
and wages-if they had been timid
while riSking millions
Was a battle ever won by general
who fearedg Was ever a great cause
indicated by one without strong
heart and undying hope? Was ever a
prize secured by competitor who did
not enter the race believing he must
and would win2
Is anything more contemplate than
cowardice ? Is anything more noble
than couragel Is anything more child
ish than fearor anything sM eeter than
confidence in an age of unrest, un-
reason, suspicion ami disturbance
Let us turn from the dismal swamp
and lift up our eyes TO the hills Let
hope inspire and courage strengthen
and the battle will be won.
This is the lesson to teach the chill
dren in our schools. to tell TO the
patient toiler at his work, 10 speak
TO the anxious business man at his
desk, TO impress upon the preacher
in the hall OF legislation.
And faint heart never won fair lady.

PRESENTS EARLY
Postmaster Henshaw Appeals to the
People to Follow His Advice
This Year

Postmaster f. C. Henshaw an
nouneed this morning he would ap-
preciate 1t if the people who contem-
plate sending Christmas gifts
through the mail would do so before
the rush begins. He said by every
body complying with this request the
postal authorities could handle the
packages with greater dispatch
which would insure their reaching
their destination without delay.
1t has always been the custom OF
the people TO withhold their pack
ages until the last moment and then
expect them to be sent Immediately
and not be delayed in transit. This
is wrong By congestng the mails
it is impossible for the clerks to
handle the business with any degree
of dispatch of certainty, and in many
instances packages are delayed. thus
causing the sender much anxiety and
those who are to receive them dis
appointment. II the people will
comply with the postmasrer's re-
quest all trouble and anxiety will be
avoided this year.
