l want the little boys to keep close
watch this fall and see the birds
change their underwear to the winter
clothes. Last winter there were many
OF these little winged creatures caught
in a storm with their fall clothes still
on and the next thing | knew they
every one come chirping along as
happy as larks, every one wearing
nice new winter suit. | don't know
where they got them all. The little
fellows that had hoped around all
summer wearing sort of checkered
and drab suit, all at once put on a
light gray with some black stripes here
and there in it. Now boys be on the
watch and see if you can discover the
hour they make the change Also you
boys in the country might see if you
can find where they keep all these
new suits they get out right after the
first cold spell.
DO you really believe we have a
uSNl, real ueNll! NO, L DO not be-
lleve we have the devil. | think the
devil has the most of us. If there is
anything under the sun that the aver
age man is ashamed of it is to come
squarely out and confess that he is
trying to be like Jesus Christ. OF
course we will make a stagger at it
and try to leave the impression that
we are sort of half way flimsy sort
of a believer in Jesus Christ, but for
men to stand out foursquare open and
above board and tell other men that
they are actually trying to have that
mind that was in Jesus Christ is a
thing uncommon among us in these
days. That is, too, just what Christ
calls being ashamed of him and His
word. He states that when it comes
to the other side of the grave whittier
we are all headed, that there he will
| be ashamed of every mothers son of
us who were ashamed of Him here.
| Now my answer is not free from
| criticism of course, for you can find
| plenty of men right where you are
who will scorn the idea of devil,
when that same devil controls those
same men; morning, noon and night
| Of course the followers of the devil
are taught that they must deny his
existance, and they usually do it, too.
Man writes to know if Christian
gets the same treatment from God
that sinner gets. No. For any one
to claim such bosh, is all rot. There
are some things we all get alike, other
things come according to our state of
heart before the God of Heaven 1t
took God two years to move certain
people out of Galveston before the
days of the flood God worked two
years on the Johnstown flood before
the crash came. Two men riding
down a steep slippery hill discussing
| their religious state. Ones horse fell
and for a wonder the rider was only
slightly injured. He claimed his re-
ligion prevented his injury. His de-
livery was from God, he thought. The
other man commended that his religion
prevented his horse falling. 1t does
rain on the just as we'll as the unjust
if they both get out in it, but | have
usually found that God can lead hi:
real people out of good many diff.
culties. OF course if Christians will
insist upon doing the same things
going the same places, yaw-yawing al
the same foolishness, boosting the
same worldly affairs, planning the
same disobedience, they will get Out
into the same showers.
The happiest hour of the day for the

That other hour is worth a great deal

to order the biggest watermelon in the
