SUNDAY At THE LITTLE CHURCH At
WESLEY"

In this beautiful world of ours
full of life and color, every thought
every influence that impresses TIT
sense of beauty as it sinks int
mans consciousness, is Just so much
added to his uplift.
Far out into the country, hidden
away from the world in one OF. Ma
lures most beautiful spots, stands
the church of Wesley. Amid forest
trees, in golden silence, through
changing scenes of winter storms
and summer calm it stands, a mod,
est house of prayer, a meeting
ground, where kindly lifting words
are said and "toilers drop for an
hour their load of care"
No stately towers rise above to
catch the first promise of the morn
ing sun; its mission of simple dig
nifty is more of an appeal to others
more pretentious, and yet each year
it brings the blessings of peaceful
age, happy memories of the past.
and brighter CLEANS of confidence
to CLINT the future.
Nearby in the leaf shadows are
the graves Of those who, even in
their triumph hour. look backward
to beckon others to the shining goal,
faces long hid under the clinging
vines, which put forth their tendrils
like an infants fingers seeking its
mothers touch.
Along the road all golden with
dust the warm air is filled with the
fragrant sweetness of new blown bud
and leaves, giving out their perfume
like incense from q censor.
Against the dim blue in the bright
sunlight fiutter clouds of yellow but
terfiies fresh from the chrysalis; full
OF the freedom of life, spirit wings,
that go winging into the future,
away from the old discouragements,
into fresh faith of the Creator, CIV
ing that promise of man g transition
to immortality.
Shall we speak of this perfect spot
and days without a fitting tribute to
he good shepherd under whose guild
ance these meetings are held?
Living his life in the sunlight he
feels no fear Of the shadows, for
without their somber tints no life
would be complete. Strong of heart
and brain, steadfast in purpose,
Loyal to friends, pursuing the right
~ he sees it, he needs no herald to
proclaim his virtues. And if pride
is ever justifiable it is when it
springs, not from grandure or glory,
nut from benevolence and a realiza-
lion of life well spent. An ideal
that makes lie worth while. A life |
II content and faith, THE best the |
world can give to man!
May these meetings grow in favor
until We become better men, better
women and better Christiansl
And when this life is ended, with its sor.
rows and its signs; |
church in the Skies"

"Dixie' and Yankee Doodle" from musical point of view. Dixie" is played and applauded in all parts of the country now, regardless of sec tional feeling, if any really exists, while Yankee Doodle" is accepted more on account of what it stands for than for it's musical qualities.
 Retaining the "Stars and Stripes" as the national flag was the sensible thing to do after the civil war. The adoption of the Confederate flag as national emblem was out of the ques- tion at that time and even the south would not care to make the change now. The time has come when ts Stars and Stripes" arouse enthusi- asm in all parts of this country and sectional feeling is quite dead. The southern man is as quick to resent an insult to "Old Glory" as the northern man and the flag is reverenced by him just as highly, although at the same time he reverence the Stars and Bars" which belong to the past.

THE pOxER Or TO-DAY

"The boxer of today" writes Freddie Welsh in the February Strand, lis not the beetle-browed and scared veteran of the past. He must, if he hopes to approach championship class, be a man possessed of brains, a man with a capacity for thinking all the while contest is in prog ress. He must be cool and level-headed
 Once he loses the command of his temper all is lost. He becomes wild and cratic, he loses touch with the finer points of the sport altogether, he becomes just a tar get for the gloves of his opponent. They tap him from all quarters with irritating frequency, the points are scored up against him at lighting rate, and, al- though he may be strong and well at the end of the final round, he is the loser.
 Take any of the modern champions, and what do we find? Just that they have come out of their contests practically un- marked. Speaking for myself, during my career in the ring I have taken part in 113 contests My photograph speaks for itself. Do I look a battered veteran? know I would not win any prize beauty championship. but I am just driving homo the point that a man need not carry the marks of the fray about with him. In nearly 10 years of boxing with 113 oppo- nents and a thousand sparring partners. have never yet had black eye"

There are eight hos pitals in different belligerent countries under the charge of these workers. and since the war began they have done a great deal to alleviate suffering. some of the most famous surgeons of this country having devoted themselves to the service The American Red Cross hospital in Paris IS one of the most noted institutions of It's kind in Europe. although there are other American hospitals quite as well equipped for taking care of sick and wounded soldiers of the warning nations dreat quantities of medical supplies have also been provided. recent report of the American Red Cross society showed that from August l. 1914, to January q. 1915, N,lSs,1I2 had been contributed of which $760,51O had been used, leaving a balance of S427,6o2 to carry on the work Of this amount s15o.oOO will be needed to maintain the present staff in Eurone for Six months and provide for their return to the United States.

Worid Not So Large

This is a small world of ours, even if 1t is 25,000 miles in circumference said Vernon Brabham, the travel slip man of South Carolina, who is now in Birmingham. My home is in Bamberp, $. C., a small but delightful town, whose only claim to fame is that the travel slip idea originated therein. Over 20 years ago Joe Thompson and I were boys there, went to school together. grew up together, and then separated.
 When Joe left Bamberg he had few hundred dollars and strong letter commenting him from my father, wno had employed both of us boys That was years ago, really so many I don't just exactly like to specify Even thoughts of those days carry me far back into childhood.
 But when l came to Birmingham about two weeks ago, whom should I see, almost the first person I came across, but Joe Thompson, the boy who first wandered away from old Bamberts to seek his fortune, with my fathers letter in his pocket Joseph c. Thompson is of the Herzog Thompson Jewerly Go. And, when I found Joe I ceased to feel like a stranger in strange land, be- cause even though he is today one of Birmipgham's leading merchants, yet to me he is still the same Joe as he vas when we were boys together"

position on the part of the people who have fixed and old-fashioned notions about a large public debt. Another point Mr. Yoakum brought out was that the railroads pay s143, 100000 in taxes annually. If the government owned the roads they could not be taxed.
 Mir. Yoakum's views, especially as to the desirability of the government opening large tracts of it's public do- main for settlers should have a dis tinct appeal at this time. It is a very feasible proposition, and the discus sion of it may lead to results. Certain it is, anything tending to improve in- dustrial conditions and afford oppor- tunities for the unemployed is well worth considering.

 Also you are informed that if you do not Know your age you might be greatly em- parrassed If you should want to marry in Europe. Think of what a little thing like this might mean to you. Suppose you had forgotten, or failed to know. the exact date you were born, and were on trip to Europe and had the opportunity to marry foreign duke-or dukess.
