AN OPEN ROAD
 FREE FROM TURMOIL

A lear, elongae ed, sad looking spe- cimen of humanity. had for the past five hours been steadily negotiating on foot, the road over the mountains from Superior to Ray.
 The rain storm which had started the night before. still continued in 2 steady dOv npour, and our water soaked. mud stained friend. had not since leaving Superior. met or seen anything. in the least resembling or in the remotest way connected with Q human being.
 The conviction was fast settling upon him. that after all. those were the happiest days of his life. which had been spent as q coa! miner back in dear old West Virginia, when dur ing the winter season. there had been months at q time during which he had not seen daylight.
 Heretofore in his travels. he had al- ways gained great comfort from the reelection. that it took an old dos for hard road. But nov Ee decided that if 1t pleased Divine Providence for him to reach Ray, he would surely have a guardian appointed, to keep him frcm ever again attempting a fool hardy trip like the present.
 As ha reached the summit of the last high mountain the descent on the other side of wi.ich leads into Rav his eyes suddenly lit up with the light of other days, as anout two hundred feet down the grade ahead of him, he saw stalled in the middle of the road an automobile and mar covered with mud. standing with his hand to his chin, gloomily c0ntem plating it.
 What seems to be the trouble Farther? Is the old side wheeler dragging her anchor?' he inquired cheerily as he approached Nope. magneto trouble I believe. was the answer given in a sad weary, disgusted sort of a tore
 Did you wind her up good before Startin' out" Tie Cnly thinc received by way of answer to this, was 6 stern suspicious sort of look. After asking innnmerable other questions, the majority of which had been left unanswered, he delivered himself oi the following:
 Well old Timer since you seem set on reaching Superior today. and as that old can you've been riGin' in has evidently made up it's mind to play possum on you, | only know of one way to get there. and that's walk T reckon you've heard in" story of the old woman who coEtended that there's always something to ne thank ful fur When she only had two teeth 1 leti. ste thanked heaven that they were opposite each other
 Now TYc always made it a point to encourage my fellow man in dis tress and I can certainly say this much in favor of the hikin' between here and Superior and that is, it's not a derr bit crowded"

 SERMON SUBJECT

Rev. MT. Buchanan of the First Christian church spoke upon the sub ject, God and Me" His text was taken from John 4:24. God is q spirit; and they that worship Him must worship in spirit and truth; and from John 3:16 and IT: For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whatsoever believeth on Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent not Nae son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through Him Rev. MT Buchanan spoke in part as follows:
 Some years ago Peter Ainslie of Baltimore, Maryland, after studying and communing with his Lord for a number of years, sat down in the tWi- light of the day and wrote a little volume called God and Me" There fore I am indebted to this man of God for both title and much of the sub ject matter of this sermon.
