HE OF GREAT FAITH.
Sewer VINO Dares 10 Go Forth
Unquestlonlng, Scattering
Seeds OF Truth.

Amcag all the figures which loom
out OF the words OF Jesus with n per'
manent interest for us there Ia none
that IL more significant than the SOW
Or who went forth 10 SOW Across the
field Of imagination this toiler ever
passea. never resta. With his bag
upon his shoulder. his arm forever
sweeping the half circle as he walks.
and the seed forever falling from his
hand. he IL silhouted against the hori'
ron OF the world He incArnntes a
principal, lie personlies a process.
lie fixes In the thought OF man tho
way OF God. Behold sower went
forth to SOW. That was his task He
aid 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 a right 20 r share or 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
Cd not TO be told that he must walt.
and that his seed must take its
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 walt 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 80 he went forth to SOW, seeking
the soil In which TO cast his propho-
cies OF future increase For all seed
sowing 10 prophecy. and all seed
sewers are seers who bide their time
in the promises OF life. II there were
more prophets there would be more
seed.sowing in the world And II
there were moro who understood the
law OF increase ms II 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 nearsighted.
The noblest symbol OF great faith IL
one who dRres 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. yat also knowing
that the earth Ia the Lords. that some
how seedtime and harvest are insep-
arabic. and that when the summer ia
past the reaper will surely find fields
OF ripening grain where he sowed his
seed.-UniversAlist Leader

Christmas for the inmates has passed into the
past, to be associated with the memories of other
Christmases. May be- the one just celebrated may
not have found many of our inmates, amid surround
ings of the Christmas preceding; and while we
sincerely hope the one still year in the future
will happily find many of us amidst surroundings
associated with freedom and home folks, friends,
etc., we still cling to the old notion that Christmas
is a of gratitude for that which circum-
stances permitted and provided-tho our inner be-
ing dwelled beyond walled-in life.
To the individual members of our official
family that added in large smaller measure,
those kindly touches of Santa spirit to cause
to fOrget--fOr season our drab existence and
enter into the spirit of the day and it's enjoyment;
and also to host of outside" friends and we'll
wishers are due the gratitude that only famished
hearts capable of feeling and extending.
The Christmas packages provided by our
Christmas fund were enjoyed by each and every in
mate, and were welcomed addition to our Christ
mas ''eats.'
Additional thanks, in behalf of all, are due to
the Anonymous" but appreciated friends who
sent to each inmate card of Christmas greeting,
embeshed by written verse and pros quotations
in harmony with the spirit of good wll'-to
these again-many thanks.
According to established custom, we were
privileged to congregate in the corridor, to in
terchange greetings and conversation with one
another. We were then treated to moving pictures
of which 1.-The Passer-by'' was feature reel.
Our Prison orchestra supplied the tone-harmony
appropriate to the pictures, which appreciated
by all and left the inmate-audience in a suitable
frame of mind to do justice to the Christmas menu
which is given below:
Roast chicken with gravy; Mashed Potatoes;
Brown Gravy; Rice Pudding with Raisns;
Green Apple Pie Cream Cheese; Coffee with
Milk and Sugar, Bread.

The Hancock Record, of Hancock, Minn
helpfully points out that the poem: THE House
by the Side of the Road published in our issue of
Dec 9th has been mistakenly credited.
The poem in question, was our REPRINT from
a clipping in which credit was attributed to-
Homer" but which should have been accredited
to Mr.. Sam Walter Foss
Our memory is at fault as to the publication
from which it was clipped, but our intention was
fautles, as all OUR original matter is credited
Immediately under captions, never at the end
Our system of crediting original matter, makes
it obvious that the poem in question was NOT in
tended as original with us. Trusting this correct
ion and our earnest desire to accord credit where
credit is DUE is satisfying. We thank the Hancock
Record for it's just and kindly interest to help our
sheet to be free from plagiarism

The Laborer

A bricklayer in sewer tunnel can earn
from ten to eleven dollars day. One on build
ing may earn from four to six dollars per day.
bank clerk from forty to seventy-fve dollars
a month; IL railway engineer from 1925 to 1925
month.
For each special occupation of work there is
particular scale of wage, and it is based to large
extent on the capacity, the ability, of the laborer
to perform the duties assigned to him. The great
care he takes with his work, the more faithful
he is to his duty, the greater his certainty of being
we'll paid for whatever he does.
The President of the United States, in the
broad sense of the word, is laborer His sal
airy originally was very SMALL but it is now seventy
live thousand dollars year. AS the Office grew
in Importance and work connected with it doubled
and trebled, Congress justly saw fit to raise the
Presidents income and thereby recognize his
worth if he performed his duty we'll, according to
the law and the moral CODE
No human being who is of any value to life
and humanity is less than laborer in the COM
mon vineyard. He has two kinds Of wages to earn:
those representatedby money with which to materi-
ally sustain himself, and those representated thru
the value of his character, what the people with
whom he associates think of him.
High as is the salary of the President, it is not
to be compared with the worth of the income of
him who. each day. at the end of his labors, has
increased the respect other people feel for his
character. Such wage is earned only thru positive
square dealing with all human beings by giving
justice and asking justice in all transactions.
The old saying is that the laborer is worthy
of his hire. He u.s. just so far as be does his full
duty to his comrades and friends, to the stranger
He can earn full wages only by remembering this
every day of his life. -Ex.

Behind the bars. The ashes of soul
We need but gently stir to find the CLEAN.
Are not earth's purest treasures kept con-
cealed
In her deep breast? Again and yet again
Our searching is rewarded, till the whole
Reality stands master of the dream.
To-day your hearth has yielded me Joy
With heavenly meaning, for each man or
boy
Whose cause strave to plead, whose grief
is mine
Is banked fire with spark divine.
For centuries these holy sparks were hurled
Out on neglected ash-heaps OF the world,
Until one came who stirred with tender
hands
The grayness and the gloom, who pierced
the mass
OF hatred till they said che understands. -
Then prison miracles were brought to pass,
For sparks inumerable he found that filled
with light
And comfort many lives, that made the
night
That long long night of desolate despair
Seem like fearful dream, for hope was
there,
And faith in God returned, and self-respect
Ambition and will to serve-to be
Good citizens when at last came liberty.
paused for it was time for me to 90
The flames had vanished and the fire
burned low.
The poet knelt befor the embers red
I've made my hearth sacred thing
he said.
'sGod grant that may also find the spark
Divine to glorify the dark
And then beneath the stars took my way
With new courage for the men in gray.

Banked Fire
By Anma p. L. Field IN N. Y. Post

Of prisoners and prisons l had talked
To eager listeners that afternoon,
And then at twilight through the pines
To poets cabin, where young white
moon
Swung in the tree-tops, and silver star
Silently pointed to the door ajar.
Solace l needed for my seething mind
Ached with its efforts. Had l caused the
blind
To see? Did the deaf ears hear?
All, how longed to make my message
clear!
Then the poet came and drew me in
To great room half swathed in shadows,
where
He babe me rest within well-worn chair
Before the the hearth-which seemed quite
cold and gray
To me; but suddenly l saw my host begin
To stir the ashes in his gentle way,
And soon he found a spark, and then a
fame
Leaped upward leading others, till the room
Became thing of light! The gloom
Was gone and nothing was the same.
Then the poet smiled and glanced at me-
81 seek for hidden sparks you see
Within the ashes, for bank my fire
That it may spring to life at my desire.
But tell me why this radiance on your face?
Do you behold vision? Has my spark
Kindled flaming thought
Swiftly turne
To answer. God in His grace
Has spoken in a symbol. From the dark
He has sent light. The message that l
burned
To give the world is here revealed.
What you have caused this mass of gray to
yield
We outside prison walls must draw from
men

Character


zFathersa grand Fathers, and mothers and grand
mothers have contributed their share toward the
manor woman that is. And some strange law of
atavism sreverts back to nameless past
and places it's stamp upon the present. But in.
heritance is not all. The Babe in its travel
from the cradle to man woman's estate is brand
ed by it's environments. Want, ragged clothes,
a cuff beside the head, seedlings and tongue LASH
ing, whips, knocks by playmates, fights, correc-
tons by parents and teachers oaths of older boys
street profanity, lack of work or too much work,
etc, etc,-an endless chain of causes and effects
all combine to build the character of man or woman
Out of the total of influences of Inheritance
and environment comes the man or woman that is
Character is neither made nor lost in day.
That which takes lifetime and generations to
create cannot be changed by presto change per-
Torrance. We may think that we will make
few strange ncantatons and evolve full grown
saint out of devil, but saints are not thus made
We may imagine that by some sudden change of
mind in the twinkling of an eye out of life of sin
comes hallowed and sanctfed soul. But it's
not so. Of such material are hypocrites made
man who is liar, or thief, cannot erase the
record in day. But it is not to be inferred that
every effort toward improvement is not desirable
reared wrong has terrible conflict raging within
the soul, provided a conscience remains. They
have to battle thru life with tremendous odds
against them. Every effort that tends toward a
better character ought to be utilized and they are
entitled to the help of every man and woman who
has any regard for the teachings-'Love thy
neighbor as thy self''
Character is neither made nor lost in a day.
A a. h.. -,
tied hard in life to do what is right, the man or
woman who has lived lifetime of honor and re-
spect in a community, and the man or woman whose
character has been above reproach, decade after
decade, is not suddenly transformed into demon.
The lights don't suddenly disappear and inky dark
ness reign. The record cannot be blotted out in a
single night Correct character of long stand
ing stands for something. Calumny and SANDER
may blacken and traduce but it can never erase
Yet, oh yet, thyself deceive not,
Love may sink by slow decay
But by sudden wrench, believe not
Hearts can thus be torn away"
These words of Lord Byron are equally true
when applied to character.
Character is neither made nor lost in a day.
If it not So of what consequence is it to strive
to do right! Of what use would it be to spend a
lifetime trying to live correct life? If it were
not so. thieves could steal half of the world and
murderers STAY their brethren and by some slight
of-hand performance suddenly metamorphose into
full grown saints with flowing robes and sancti6ed
souls. If it were not so, the man who lived life
time of honor and integrity but who errs in sin
gle instance would fall to the level of the vilest
sinner 1t is not so. Character is neither made
nor lost in day.
