SERMONS MADE IN THE STUDY"

When Dir. Lyman Abbott, editor of
the Outlook, determined as young
man to enter the ministry, his father
wrote him wise letter of counsel
from which he quotes in the current
issue of the Outlook.
"The truth is,' his father said. "that
sermons which are made in the study,
by process Of construction out of
elements drawn from solitary medi-
tation and from theological books,
rarely have any effect in reaching and
Saoving human hearts. It is only by
going out among men as pastor and
learning by familiar conversation with
them how they think and feel, and
then shaping what is said in the pull
pit TO meet what is heard and seen in
every day life-that any really good
preaching can come"
Jacob Abbott's advice applies not
merely TO sermons. knowledge of life
in the broadcast sense can come only
from living. 1t can't be acquired from
books, although they can help. Abra-
ham Lincoln had the slightest book
learning. But by going out among
men he knew what they thought and
how they felt. Plenty of successful
men today have the education that
comes only from living.

THE JOY OF COUNTRY TOWNS,

on Carey projects and he has seen the
weaknesses Of the law. His expert
ence has been such that he can sympa-
thize with the man with the irrigat-

land farmer.
Mr.. Lewis, by virtue of his qualifica-
tons, experience and property inter-
ests in this part Of the states should
be as satisfactory to the people of
southern Idaho as he is to the people
of the north. There is no sense in this
sectionalism under any circumstances.
II is doing the state no good. But in
Mr.. Lewis's case there are no possible
grounds for any southern Idaho voter
to oppose him on that score. He be-
longs to the south as much as to the
north. He is fair and square and, if
elected, will be the chief executive of
the entire state, not of any section.
Besides that, he will bring to the office

Of such splendid qualifications as a
candidate for governor. Such man
is needed at this stage of the states
history. The people have been sur
feited with promises. 1t is time to
elect man who will actact intelli-
gently, firmly, sanely, honestly-act
for the public good. Southern Idaho
should join hands with northern Idaho
and turn the trick, and at the same
time obliterate forever sectional lines.

In previous political campaigns, the

from North Idaho was at disadvan-
tage The charge that he was not
conversant with the problems that
peculiarly confront the southern part
of the state was often too true, espe-
cially as regards irrigation and Carey

There are no grounds upon which to
base such an assertion in the case Of
Nj. f. Lewis, candidate for governor
before the Republican primaries. While

written the buyer swore that he was
not engaged in any hazardous occupa-

Those who read the daily press, even
if they have never tried it themselves,
will agree that the company is right.

The man, nothing loath, put up his
hands.
AS the two thus confronted each
bther in approved position, there was
ho discernible inequality between
hem; on the contrary, they were as
ike as brothers. To the strangers
confident smile, Ben-Hur opposed an
earnestness which, had his skill been
known, would have been accepted fair
warning of danger. Both knew the
combat was to be mortal.
Ben-Hur tented with his right hand.
The stranger warded, slightly advanc>
ing his left arm. Ere he could return
to guard, Ben-Hur caught him by the
wrist in grip which years at the oar
had made terrible as vice. The sur
prise was complete, and no time given.
To throw himself forward; to push the
arm across the mans throat and over
his right shoulder and turn him left
side front; to strike surely with the
ready left hand; to srike the bare
neck under the ear-were but petty
divisions of the same act. No need of
a second blow. The myrmidon fell

Ben-Hur turned to Thord.

the latter cried, in establishment, rails
