Carlyle spoke disdainfully of those
who would feed life on "a diet of
broad grlnS." There is q shallow So
phlstry abroad in the land which
needs this puncturing word OF scorn:
Tor its only philosophy is that if one
smiles, nothing else matters. Now
TINS injunction to keep smiling is
scarcely an adequate program of life.
Shall the stained sinner smile? Or
the unemployed man whose family is
hungry! Or the mother whose child
is IN the far country? The mere
summons to an outward appearance
or merrlment is worse than made
quate; 1t is mockery. 1t is true that
LIE should be attuned to the note of
JOY; but only a master purpose can
SO attune it, There must be a reason
that lies deeper than all outward APP

It was Maltbie D.. Babcock W h said,
"The Christian life hat is ioyless is
a discredit to God and a disgrace to
ITSELF AS a wide circle of people
know, he lived up to that high stand
ard for himself. His S%unniness was
an expression Of his spirituality. In
these ringing verses he declared his
faith:
This is my Fathers world.
0 let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so
strong
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Fathers world,
The battle is not done.
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and Heaven be one.
This is my Fathers world,
Should my heart be ever sad?
The Lord is king!-let the heavens
ring,
God reigns!-let the earth be glad"
| OF all the services that a Christian
may render the world the simplest,
Surest and most constant is a life of
c~heerfulness. Let it not be thought
that cheerfulness is merely a matter
Of temperance; it is often a matter
Of grace. The sunniness hat shines
fartheSt Is merely irradiated saintli-
ness. The good cheer which stands
all tests is that which is born Of the
conviction that to be joyous is a
Christian duty and privilege. No eff
fort. Of will, Of prayer and of prac-
tice, is toe great a price to pay for a
life of gladness, founded il faith in
God.

Back Of this whole procedure at
Pilates Judgment seat lay the schem-
ing Of adroit ecclesiastical politicians,
who were using the time-Serving
judge to satisfy their wv envy and
revenge. These men who so cody
foreswore a mans life were exceed
ingly solicitiOus to keep eceremonially
clean, because of the Passover. They
sedulously conserved their church
standing while at the same time they
sought to slay the man who spoke the
truth.
Adroitly, skillfully, they played their
deadly politics, alternately working
upon the job-holding judge. The
voice hat cried Away with Him!
Cruelty Him." was the voice Of the
multitude: but the words were the
words Of the priests and pharisees.

who dares to do his evil work alone.

devices Of the devil. If men were as
much afraid Of offending God as they
are of losing, the jobs, there would be
more out-and-out manhood in public
life and in private business. These
crafty old Williams from the temple

Hodges Wayers.

A common saying among the ma
chine men Of the Democratic party be-
fore the state convention last week at
parkersburg was 1--WE must nominate
q mighty strong man if we hope to
defeat Howard Sutherland for re-
/. election to Congress" Then the bosses
bverrode the rank and file by nominat-
Ing Thomas e. Hodges over Beall and
DePue, who had made an active can
vass and who stood we'll with the dele
gates.
The nomination OF Hodges was not
altogether against his will but entire
ly against his judgment. He did not
consent until almost the very hour of
his nomination to be the nominee. AS
soon as the bosses forced that consent
from him, they had him nominated in
4 iiffy. The convention had done its
work and adjourned sire die before
Hodges had had time to recover him
self from the forced act of consenting.
The fact is several days have gone
since the convention but Hodges has
not yet definitely announced his ac-
eeptance. There is a report that he
is wavering and there Is good reason
to believe that he does not see the way
clear to beat Howard Sutherland. DR..

giving ear to the idle tales of those
who imagine they have personal
grievance against me-"
A prominent West Union Democrat
is authority for the statement that
about two weeks ago Senator Bland
went to West Union on the eve Of the
mass convention there for the selec.
ton Of delegates to various Demo-
cratic conventions, including the SEN
atorial convention here July 2, and
begged for the delegates for himself
The West Union Democrat declares
that Bland was turned down cold and
that only one Of the delegates chosen
was known to be for Bland and that
that delegate would most likely be
against him in the convention.
II all this lie true, and the Tele-
gram has no reason to doubt it, Sen
ator Bland no longer stands we'll with
his party in his home county. Whether
reputation by his native county
means anything will be revealed by
