STEAR CLEAR
BY Don M. Cochran.

- 4SSAl rs Sr6Sthtoits
When you are dead broke
To a friend you will go.
You will try hard to borrow
A five-spot or so.
He may be your friend
And a true one at that.
But, say, does he wonder,
How soon twill come back.
You'll mention your payday,
And say it's all right.
When Saturday comes,
BY heck, it's a fright.
The fellow you owe,
And promised to pay,
Comes around, and you're brok
The very next day.
To borrow Jocks fine,
For a very short while.
But looks change around
When debts start to pile.
Your credit gets bad,
You financially fall;
Steer clear of all borrow,
1t don't pay at all.

induce the Young men 10 JOIN the army as a
uatriOtic duty, and also because its training

10 them that in serving the army they are
not wasting their time, so far as Their future
careers are concerned. Their military tram
ing would give them the same incentive as
a college education. and they would apply
themselves 20 their duties with enough
energy and enthusiasm to enable them TO

BY enabling young men to enlist Tor

10 learn the duties Of a soldier as soon as

reserve which in time OF war could be relied
upon to fiji the skeleton ranks Of the regular

tenn can easily be surmiscd by the assurances
given 10 me by many Of the officers that by
intensive training a soldier could be thor
oughlv drilled and instructed in his duties in
less than a year Such a policy would, OBJ
viouslv. encourage industry and zeal on
the part Of enlisted men, because merit
would then be rewarded by release from ser
vice with the troops. In a few years the
reserve would run up into the thousands.

The Ulster Orangeman is defying
England out of the excess of his 10y
atty to hers threatening her to as
sert his allegiance-ands says he will
lambaste England to prove his love
for her.
Yet we Ulstermen, who know the
Orangeman as neighbor and fell
bowman, smile at the idea of his going
out with loaded gun to MAIN and
kill the British army. And he smiles
with us-behind his hand.
Before left my Donegal (Ulster)
home, last fall, to come on my an
nual American lecture tour, the u
ster Orangeman and myself had our
daily joke, when we met, about his
bluff being good enough to scare the
Englishman.
Notwithstanding the fright into
which England and the newspapers
are thrown, l can assure you with
first-hand knowledge that the Ulster
Orangeman, in the bulk, mas no more
idea of fighting than of flying over
the moon-or over the Atlantic for
the fifty-thousand-dollar prize
There will be rows, ructions and
shindigs in plenty if the home rule
bill passes they'll be in Belfast
and few of the other larger towns
of Ulster where the side streets afford
good cover for stoning the police.
They'll riot if the bill passes or if it
does not pass-if anything happens,
or if nothing happens. 1t would be
bad sign if rows did not happen, be-
tokening that there was something
seriously the matter with the health
of the usually exuberant Orange
worlingman community.
But the country Orangeman, the
farmers son, is too decent a fellow,
and has too much respect for his Irish
neighbors and for himself, to treat
himself tO the indiSpriminatn hurlino o.

SPOKE WORDS THAT ENDURE
Lesson in Courtesy That Was Taught
by the Savior 1900 Years
AGO.

After-dinner speeches in our day are
famed for wit, for nicely and brillian.
cy, and they are soon forgotten, or
spoken Of as "frills." But the words
of Jesus at the Pharisee's dinner were
given with grace and dignity beyond
compare, the Christian Herald re-
marks. Not one syllable has ever been
forgotten, or ever can be, for his words
belong to eternity. Jesus connected
his theme with the dinner and the
place where they had eaten it. That
was wise, because the people who lis.
tened would be impressed through the
law of association. He reminded
them that as they came in they had
selected the best places at the table,
leaving the least desirable ones for
those who should come after. In do,
ing this they showed that they thought
too much of themselves-that they
were conceited. And he told them It
was better form to take the poorer
seats, and be invited to take better
ones If the master of the feast should
choose to ask them. 1t was we'll de
served rebuke, but no doubt 1t was
courteously given, and it was ended
with the assurance that "whosover
humbleth himself shall be exalted
That lesson in courtesy Is just as ap-
plicsble today-1,900 years after IL
was spoken--and it has been in force
during all of the intervening years and
will never go out Of date.

RECORD HOME RUN
Minister'S Tact That Brought
Youths to Recognize the
Day of Worship.

Hello, Lock Spring? This Is Mary
yille's captain talking; we would ike
a game with you next Sunday.
Sorry, old chap, but Lock Spring
doesn't play Sunday baseball no"'
some other day"
The, amazement of. -Maryville's cap
tain might not have been so great mao
he been acquainted with a certain
young pastor, w. F. Bradley.
Bradley, now second-termer as MIS-
sourPs Quiet-Hour superintendent, got
his theology at Missouri Valley col
lege, where as a by-product, of much
service since, he learned baseball.
Undoubtedly he was a sturdy play
er, and scored many hits for the glory
of M. V. G.. No matter! There was
one aspect of the great game which ne
did not learn until he left the campus
and began to preach.
Then it was that baseball to Brad
ley, '06, was found to be much differ
ent to Rev. W. F. Bradley, >Presby-
terrain pastor, who now saw the poys
and young men focking en- masse on
Sundays to the sunny ball diamond.
No Mccormick rake ever left more
slender picking than was spared OF
men for. the seanty Lords day Wor-
ship. Baseball had become very
real and difficult affair to the young
pastor. This new game required
more headwork.
Saw the Way to Victory. -
Now Rev. Mr.. Bradley might have
entered the sure retreat of the Sun
day pulpit and preached and scolded
blisteringly. What he did was to join
the practise-squad one day quite In
advertently. The fellows were not
slow to respond to his unaffected COM
radeship, nor backward In appreciat
ing the quality of his play. Before
long he was the reliance Of the team!
His pitching had made Lock Spring
invincible.
Naturally, while the preacher
seemed to enjoy the game immensely,
the church session could hardly be
asked to give him his Sundays off!
So the team argued. Therefore the
members, being good ballplayers,
were good sportsmen, and, being that,
they played fair with the pastor who
had proved himself the best man
among them. Surely Bradley, '06,
never made home run so worthy Of
record as this!
Needless to say, the change to Sat
urday games has been only one result
of the influence of the Christian lead
er upon the lives of the young men
of his town. 1t is tribute to the
effectual manliness Of the present-day
clergy. Bradley Is Man-preacher Of
whom Missouri Endeavorers are very
proud In spirit, in action, in accom-.
! plishment, he is a young giant of
Christian Endeavor.-FrankL Lowe, Jr,
