HE OF GREAT FAITH
Sewer Who Dares to Go Forth
Unquestionlng, Scattering
Seeds OF Truth.

Among all the figures which loom
out Of the words OF Jesus with a per
manent interest for us there is none
that is more significant than the SOW
er who went forth to SOW. Across the
field of imagination this toiler ever
passes, never rests. With his bag
upon his shoulder. his arm forever
sweeping the halfcircle as he walks.
and the seed forever falling from his
hand, he is silhouted against the hori-
zon of the world. He incarnates a
principal He personifies a process.
He fixes in the thought Of man the
way of God. Behold sower went
forth to SOW. That was his task. He
did not make the soil on which his
seed fell. He saw the rocks, the
thorns, the thin soil and the hard soil.
He knew that much of his seed would
never fructify. He saw the birds as
they picked up the kernels after him.
Perhaps he even thought the birds
had right TO a share. OF course
he understood that sun and rain
would try the tender plants. He also
understood that the harvest was on
the other side OF summer. He need
ed not to be told that he must wait,
and that his seed must take It's
chances with all the vicissitudes OF
seasons and weather
Believed In the Earth.
But he trusted nature. In spite Of
stones and thorns and thin soil and
hard soil, he believed in the earth.
He believed enough to act. He was
not one of those who wait that they
may serve. He took his promise from
creation. Beneath the variations of
the days and nights he felt the thrill
of spring. He rested In the deeper
processes. He had faith that all the
world would change beneath the &C.
centricities Of wind and shower and
heat and light. And so he sowed.
And SO he went forth to SOW. seeking
the soil in which to cast his prophe-
cies Of future increase. For all seed
sowing IL prophecy, and all seed
sewers are seers who bide their time
In the promises of life. III there were
more prophets there would be more
seedsowing In the world. And II
there were more who understood the
law of increase as It works every
where there would be fewer foolish
questions asked of those who sow the
seed. For those who demand harvest
before the seed has time to sprout
and grow are spiritually near-sighted.
The noblest symbol Of great faith is
one who dares to go forth unquestion-
ing. scattering seeds Of truth and
right and peace and love. knowing
that stones and thorns and unrespon-
sive soil are there, yet also knowing
that the earth is the Lords. that some
how seedtime and harvest are insep-
arabic, and that when the summer Is
past the reaper will surely fird fields
of ripening grain where he sowed his
seed.-Universalist Leader.

From the New York American
A writer in the British Medical Journal
makes this rather astonishing statement
that poets may gain much Inspiration.
and stimulate their capacities generally.
by taking occasional doses of EPSON
salts.
As will be gathered from this writer's
argument. poets are typical of a certain
temperament which reacts, at times, un-
fortunately upon physical conditions
which many such persons try TO offset
with coffee alcohol or drugs. In advising
this substitution Of EPSON salts he says:
There can be no doubt that the liver.
which was regarded by the ancients as
the seat Of the passions, is readily dis
turbed by mental emotions. Anxiety az
to the fate of book, an article or d
paper, or as to the result of an expert
ment, may not only disturb the function
Of the liver-worry may even indirectly
cause organic disease.
'Bryon is cited as an instance of the
value of EPSON salts, which he says
acted on him like champagne.
Dryden prepared himself for the
visitation OF the divine afiatus by salts.
