CHILDRENS PULPIT
Refusing to Sing

We have all read how God led the
Children of Israel out of Egypt,
land in which they were slaves, into
the Promised Land, in which they
were free. After they had become
settled in the new country they grew
prosperous and became a strong peo-
pie because God was with them. And,
too, they were with God.> That is,
they worshiped Him and did as He
would have them do.
Later, however, they forgot their
God who had been so good to them.
1t is so easy for us all to enjoy our
blessings, but at the same time to
forget the one who gives as those
blessings. And when we forget God
we become wicked. Then, having be-
come wicked, we grow weak. So it
was with Israel. Their wickedness
led to their weakness, and a stronger
nation conquered them and led them
away into slavery again.
Many of the Israelites were sweet
singers. So one day their captors
asked them to sing some of their ma
tive songs. But they all hung their
harps upon the willows and refused TO
sing. They seemed to think that by
refusing to sing they would show
that their troubles were so great
that they could not sing and be happy.
But here s where they were seri-
ously mistaken. To sing and be
happy is lust what we ought to do
and be, even if we are in trouble.
To be gloomy and sullen makes our
troubles heavier rather than lighter,
and adds to the troubles Of those
around us.
So the Israelites made a mistake
when they refused TO sing. In the
first place, they withheld from their
captors what they should have given
them. By singing the. songs of their
God they might have won their cap
tors over to their religion. Joy and
happiness are attractive and will
make friends when gloom and sad
ness will not. Thus the Israelites did
not do their duty to those around
them. Their captors needed to hear
their sweet religious singing. 1t
would have done them good.
The same is true with us. We in
jure those about us every time we
withhold from them a song, a cheer
full word, or a happy look. Our
friends have right to expect us TO
give them a song and thus make life
sweeter for them.
In the second place, they injured
themselves by not singing. They
thought that to sing would cause
them to forget God. However, they
forgot Him because they did not
sing. When they were permitted to
return to their native land only about
one out of seven returned. The 9TH
ers had all lost interest in their ma
tive land because they had forgotten
their native songs.
Yes, If we are good to ourselves we
must give expression TO our best sell
YES. We forget that which we do not
express. Thus we must give express
sion to our joys, our religious ideal
and our best thoughts, IL we would
be true to our friends and ourselves.

Today's Poem

Unknown"
Go forth where the far-fung prairies
Where, meath the blue of a bending
sky,
Bright roses beam, and beckon and
Take Of our bounties their beaut'ous
day;
Scatter them-scatter them deep
Scatter them Ger where heroes
sleep.
Go to the hills where the laurel
grows
Where soft winds sigh-where the
tempest blows,
Gather the choicest gifts of God
That spring from the rich and rug
ged sod;
Scatter them-scatter them deep
Scatter them Ger where heroes
sleep.
Go to the tomb where the chieftain
lies,
Where, carved in rock, of herioc
days
A story is told-of vict'ries won
Honors achieved-of duties well
done;
Then softly approach that spot
pressed down,
Where the stone lies low, the name
"Unknown"-
"Unknown"-unknown in the sight of
God?
He knoweth who sleeps beneath the
sod.
Twas a mothers boy brave, low
ing lad
Who knew no glory save his Nations
good;
Earth's bosom holds him in sacred
embrace,
Nor time, nor storms shall his glory
efface.

mental Apology, while the seeds Of
Greater Success go implanted, be-
cause there is no Room.
And listened to her, for she spake
words of wisdom.
And she flung the Dandelion Root
far down the Alley, albeit she flung
it not in the Direction she intended.
And she said to me, Now, for thy
Folly, dig thou up that spot of
ground yonder wherein there grow
Twenty Dandeliops, and plant thou
there this seed of the Glorious Holly
hook. For he who groweth a Dan
delion in the garden of his life and
habit, when he might be growing an
Hollyhock. to him it is sin.
And | did even as Keturah said un-
to me.
And if any man thinketh that
did wrong, he may came into my AL
ley, and seek till he fndeth the root
of the Danedlion, and do with it what
seemeth to him good. Yea, and he
may shave more Dandelion if he
wanteth them.
But let him not plant them where
Keturah reigneth.

Parable of the Hollyhock and
DandeliOn

Now before | had moved the Roots
of the Hollyhocks, had gathered the
Seed that grew thereon. And when
the Spring had come, and the Holly
hooks were springing up from the
Roots, Keturah said to me, Safed.
And / answered, Here am i.
And she said, Let us take this
Hollyhock Seed and plant it along
the Back Fence, hard by the Alley;
and if there be enough of the Seed
we may even plant some of it with
in the Alley.
And the saying pleased me. And
/ sought in the Basement and / found
a Spade, and Hoe, and Rake. And
Keturah sought, and she found
Trowel.
And as we digged, we came to the
place where / had planted some Dan
delions. And she said, Behold, here
is ground that hath been digged al
ready; and 10, here is something
planted therein.
And she Prodded with her Trowel,
and she discovered the Dandelion.
And / turned my back, and digged
elsewhere.
And she said. Safed, look on me.
And / looked on her, and she was
good to look upon; yet as she stood
there, with her Trowel in her Right
Hand, and the Root of the Dandelion
in her left, / stood in Awe of her.
For she was like Winged Victory,
albeit she had a Head.
And she said. Safed, didst thou
plant this Dandelion?
And / said, The Dandelion hath a
right to its life, and it is. only be-
cause it is common men think it a
Weed.
And she said, Thou speakest like a
Phool Philosopher. Knowest thou
not that the labor thou wasted in
planting one Dandelion would have
sown the seeds of Ten Hollyhocks?
Thou mindest me of much of the
Sloppy Sentimentality which foolish
people put into Books on Philan-
thropy. And thou showest me how
necessary it is that the Truly Wise
should superintend the activities of
the Merely Good.
And I said, Keturah.
But she listened not, and she said,
In world where there is not room
enough for all the things that would
grow, it is necessary to choose what
form of Life and Goodness we shall
Cultivate. The world Is nigh clean
gone to the bad because people are
content to cultivate habits for which
they can frame some Cheap Senti-

The Tobacco Habit

Tobacco is a slow, insidious, but
most deadly poison. In whatever
form it is used, it tells upon the con-
stitution; it is all the more danger
Gus because its effects are slow, and
at first hardly perceptible. 1t excites
and then paralyzes the nerves. 1t
Weakens and clouds the brain. Often
it affects the nerves in a more pow
erful manner than does intoxicating
drink. 1t is more subtle, and its eff
fects are difficult to eradicate from
the system. It's uses excites thirst
for strong drink, and in many cases
laws the foundation for the liquor
habit. The use of tobacco is incon-
venient, expensive, uncleanly, defil-
ing to the user, and offensive to
others.

The Origin of Tobacco Using

Tobacco using originated with the
natives of North America, the In
dians. In November, 1892, when
Columbus discovered the island of
Cuba, he sent two sailors to explore
it, who, when they returned, report
ed, among other strange and curious
discoveries, that the natives carried
with them lighted firebrands, and
puffed smoke from their noses and
mouths, which they supposed to be
the way the savages had of perfum-
ing themselves. They afterwards de-
clared that they "saw the naked saw
ages twist large leaves together, and
smoke like DEVILS" Originating with
the wild barbarian of America, the
smoking habit, after some years, was
introduced into Europe, and was rap
idly adopted, not only by the lower
classes, but by those of high author
ity, even princes and mobiles partici-
pating in the new intoxication. 1t
has since become well-nigh universal.

ency to spread easily, and roll. Af-
ter cake has be rolled, roll paper
around it to keep it in shape. When
ready to serve, confectioners' sugar
may be sifted over the top if desired.
The work must be done quickly
while the cake is warm, or it will
