Inhaling strength with every breath
Soft blown across the mountain way,
stroll where sutumns crimson death
And summers resurrection say
The annual rhine of death and life,
Smooth winds the road Ger covert glade,
On upward slope by varying strife,
For mastery, of light and shade.
Here greenery hath conquered all.
And dominates a world OF love;
Hon distant hill is mighty thrall
or mastered blueness throned above.
Here find | quiet rest | seek
Far from the turbulence of men.
And mildly importune the meek
Fawn-voices OF the woodland glen
Where think not that the woods are still,
For whomsoer can overhear,
Eech runlet speaketh, and each hill
A music hid from carnal ear.
The dumb rocks hint their history:
and myriad winged things float past,
With messages of mystery
Sent from the dim leaf-shadowed vast
All tender moss that steadfast clings
= To warm the oak-root, mantlewise,
Some answer has for questionings
Repose for restless subtleties.
II would stanch an anguish sore
That contumely's thrust hath made.
Or into wounds mild healing pour,
Away from battlefields of trade
I walk amid these leafy balms-
Wood Installations magic breeds
Cphorne upon the upheld palms
OF elfin greenwood Ganymedea.
And learn how thought is kin to prayer.
That grace. as juices from earth's sod
Flows through the veins of spirit, where
Mans soul doth feel the touch Of God.

CHAPPELL. Neb.. Sept. 2i.-(special.)-
To the Editor of The Bee; / have heard
Sunday twice. The first time was on the
evening Of the opening in Omaha. The
second time was on the next Tuesday
night was surprised to hear him re-
peat some OF his trite sayings on Tues
day which he had just used on the sun
day night before I was tired before he
was half through and wished I had not
gone. lie said nothing that night
Since that have read his talks to some
extent. not all of them nor half OF them.
l cannot see anything exceptional in
them. and do not believe Sunday Is a
great preacher. ] do believe he has a
system which cannot be surpassed. lie
pictures sin, and call Tom. Dick and
Harry hypocrits. Tells them they are
going to hell unless they support the
church and pay the expenses of the meet
ing Then he selects the head men OF
the state, county and city and says that
his remarks are not intended for them.
They are o. X. lie thus gets men to
use their influence for him, Sunday. not
for God. The unmentioned are the com
mon heard that go to make up the crowds
and pay the money In dimes, quarters
and dollars. Where the one specially
mentioned pays 500 he does not feel II
as much as one Of the common herd who
pays 81.
Did Christ pick out the super man and
set him aside and lambast the common
fellow? II won't work, and 1 have VEN
tured the prognostic that Sunday has
reached the zenith OF his crowd gather
ing I think nothing more of his ability
than the ability to gather a crowd. The
liquor question is being fought out by
men and women who have never seen
Sunday and have never read his talks,
but who have given the subject a lot OF
time and thought. The temperance wave
Is going on and Is going to take the
nation, but no one can fairly say Il was
Sundays preaching that accomplished the
work. Every business and enterprise
worth while requires good, common sense
and reason. Tho staying qualities of
Christianity are wrought into the soul OF

reason and not through a senseless TRADE

A Reply to Thurston.

SOUTH SIDE. Sept. SS-To the Editor
of The Bee: In the letter Of John NJ
Thurston in The Bee, / find he states
that Christ did not threaten mankind
with hell. If he will take his Bible and
read the book OF Matthew throug and
not read any other part of the Bible, he
will find that Christ used some very
vigorous language in denouncing the
wicked of His day and repeatedly warned
his auditors of the dangers of hell and OF
he'll fire. He showed some OF the "Bill'
Sunday kind of religion when he kicked
the gamblers out OF the temple OF the
Lord, which they had profaned
In denouncing the Pharisees he said
20 generation of vipers how can we, be-
ing evil. speak good things" He repeat
eddy called the scribes and pharisees
hypocrites and as a wicked and adulter-
ours generation, He also said 10 those
about him that unless their righteous
ness exceeded that of the scribes and
pharlsees that they would I'm no wise en-
ter the kingdom OF God. II they would
not enter the kingdom of God. 1 would
like to ask Senator Thurston where they
will go to,
Ii we believe a part OF the Bible we will
have to believe all of IT, For II we be-
lieve there IL a heaven we will have TO
believe there Is a he'll, for the Bible tells
Of one rs much as of the other. Christ
also said, Not all who say Lord. Lord,
shall enter the kingdom OF heaven "
Where will they so to II they do not
enter heaven? He also said IL a part
Of the body offend you cast II away so
an TO avoid danger OF hell fire. Look IL
up, senator. and see IL 1 am right.
Why il It that people have quit going
TO church? They do not go like they did
fifty years ago when all the churches
preached hell fire and birthstone and they
were crowded to the doors every Sunday.
When the preachers of Omaha taught as
Senator Thurtson wants them TO. the
church attendance dwindled. but when
I'M Sunday comes and breaches the
old time religion, people come out by the
tens OF thousands TO hear him and the
good no will do and has already done
will last long after Senator Thurston is
dead and forgotten. f. A. AGNEW.

be so much in need OF the many. many
methods used by Mr.. Sunday to draw
our attention. The knockor does not
read the Bible and, Of course, does not
pray, ana vet he and others have wis
dom sufficient to criticize one who has
delivered the message so that thousands
have turned against all kinds OF Gins and
are following Chrlst's commands.
