sow character and reap destiny
No man sows figs and expects to reap
thistles; no man sows thorns and ex-
poets to reap grapes"
The evangelist stated that the man
who sows the sin will reap it, not
somebody else. He said that he had
visited asylums, has seen manned
children with sin back of their lives.
"Some of YOU" he said, twill walk
across acres of tangled thickets, and
cry: My God, / never expected to reap

ungodly life is an impaired will.

He knows the unspoken longing; He

Christ Every Inch Man.
"Some of you have the idea that
Christ was mushy, effeminate, sissy
kind of man. Let me tell you he
was the manifest of men. You may
fool some people with your ideas and
notions, but you can't fool God. You
may fool the preacher. Old Abe
Lincoln once said, You may fool
some of the people all the time, and
all the people some of the time, but
you can't fool all the people all the
time God refuses to close his eyes
on the world.
"You may waste you money, time

you the power to scatter the seed

choose the rotten things of life; He
gives you body, and instead OF

home in Hartswellvllle. VT. 1t is known
as the Kilkare Country Club. There wers
$500 In prizes and the tournament was
won by Mike Brady with 5. Our own
Jim Barnes was second with 301.
Mr.. Plunkett took trip south last week
to visit some of his cotton plantations and
on his return home died in the train in
Ohio. The news of his death will be "A
great shock to the professionals who played
over his course as he was very popular
with them and was greatly liked. Jim
Barnes. In speaking of It, said: with all
the other professionals, / regret TO hear
this sad news. Mr.. Plunkett gave uss
splendid time last summer and no one
could have been nicer. In spite Of his
great wealth he was very democratic. He
was an enthusiastic golfer and he enjoyed
having us at his country place as much
as We enjoyed playing there. Golf has

The ordinary round or cylindrical
inner tube is very thin. To fill the
pear-shaped cavity of the outer casing
the round thin tube must be inflated

result. Not only less seepage, but less

the fullest stroke and the general idea is
to get distance. A player, however, is
likely to forget that it is better to be con-
slstent than to get a long ball off the tee
on several holes. and then perhaps top a
shot, only occasionally getting a good
straight ball down the course
Usually / consider the long driver the
easiest player in the world to win from.
Everybody tells him how wonderfully well
he drives, and in consequence he is forcing
almost every shot OF course, the more
strength put into a shot the more distance,

rhythm. An old man who drives only 100
or 125 yards down the course usually can
beat the college boy who hooks and slices
