FAITH AND FEAR.

Somewhere in the mass of literature
that has been giving to the reading pub
lie may be found good words that build
faith. No faculty of the mind appears
to equal that one. Faith is essential to
all that we do or hope to enjoy. Faith
is capable of great growth as well as a
journey in the opposite direction 1t is
commonly said that with sufficient faith
mountains can be moved. Nothing can
be accomplished without it. A lack of
faith is often responsible for disease.
When faith is absent fear is present;
one seems to be the opposite Of the
other.
The cultivation of faith requires eter-
nal vigilance. Like eternal watehful-
mes, it is the price of that fleeting prize
called success. Faith is contagious; it
is catching. Those who have great
faith are always worthy associates be-
cause they are optimistic and accom-
plish the worth while. They are cheer
full, clean, even tempered, suave, indus
trious and quiet. They have energy in
reserve because of their easy manners
born of the faith which throws On life 8

Little THINGS That Count.

The sunshine Of life Is made up Ct
very little beams that are bright all
the time. To give up something, when
giving up will prevent unhappiness;
to yield, when persisting will chafe
and fret others; to go a little around
rather than come against another; to
take an iii look or a cross word quiet
~, rather than resent or return it
these are the ways In which clouds
and storms are kept on and pleasant
and steady sunshine secured.

mate health, wealth and what is even
better, that state of mind that tran
sends all, namely, happiness. Faith
makes the most dreaded diseases appear
as means to an end, called by the faith
full Heaven and Immortal Glory. Who
can doubt the power of faith as we wit
ness the happy but cadaverous face of
a tired cancer or consumption patient
triumphantly rejoicing at the final ad-
vance of eternal lief
Sufficient faith is a mighty power, but
sensible beings know that proper faith
leads to treatment under the care of a
reputable physician. Patent medicine
is wrong because it is the offspring of
fear and an excuse for not having a
doctor. Those who use patent medicine
are afraid of the price of intelligent
ssientife treatment, which only a vel
rained physician is qualified to give.
Fear is the offspring of evil. Avoid
fear by taking proper thought and doing
right. When YOU are the victim Of
error and for that reason or any othel
sick, seek sensible service. Seek anC
you shall find; that is faith. Faitl
lives in the light but fear hides. Il
you are fearful you should tell you
fears to those who study nature mos
and are they not the doetorsf

KInoblrd n Hard FIGHTER.

Some country folk call the kingbird

There, while his mate Is covering the

over the landscape and the skyscape.
When a hawk or q crow comes In sight
the kingbird is on for a battle In
which he does all the fighting. Occa-
sionally, he takes a ride on the enc

hardest to make his victim exceed the

Replaces human Sacrifice.

The meaning Of the rite of break
ing the bottle" at the launching Of
ships wss originally nothing short Of
sacrifice. Building a town or launch
ing q ship were solemn matters to
our forefathers, not to be done with
out devoting a life to propltiate the
gods. Our timid civilization no long
er dares to sacrifice a slave or a pris-
oner on such occasions, and therefore
we break the bottle, signifying the
taking Of mans life.

Real Hardness.

II this world affords true happiness,
II is to be found in home where love
and confidence increase with years,
where the necessities Of life come
without severe strain, where luxuries
enter only after their cost has been
carefully considered. We are told
that wealth is a test Of character-few
Of Us have to submit to It. Poverty
Is the more usual test. It is difficult
to be very poor and maintain ones

Old Form Of Investment.

The oldest investment the world
knows is the real estate mortgage.
Twenty-one hundred years before
Christ, in ancient Babylon, money was
loaned on mortgages. These mortgages
were recorded on bricks and preserved
In great earthenware Jars that were
sunk in the earth. They were dug up
after they had reposed there $500
years, mute evidence of this most an
cient form Of investment.
