TODAY'S POEM }
THE HAND OF LINCOLN

Look on this cast, and know the hand
K That bore a nation in its hold;
! From this mute witness understand
INhat Lincoln was-how large Of
SAold.
Tne man vas sped the woodman's
team
Ana deepest sunk the ploughman's
share,
And pushed the laden raft astream.
OF fate before him unaware.
This was the hand that knew to swing
The ax-since thus would freedom
train
Her son-and made the forest ring,
And drove the wedge, and toiled
amain-
Firm hand, that loftier office took,
A conscious leaders win ,obeyed,
And, when men sought his word and
look,
With steadfast might the gathering
swayed-
No courtier's toying with sword,
No minstrePs laid across a lutte;
A chiefs uplifted to the Lord
When all the king of earth were
mute!
The hand Of ,Anak, sinewed strong,
ii, The fingers that on greatness;
III clutch;
Yet, 10! the marks their lines along
OF one who strove and suffered
much.
For here in knotted cord and vain
trace the varying chart OF years;
know the troubled heart, the strain,
The weight of Atlas-and the tears
Again I see the patient brow
That palm erewhile was wont to
press;
And now it sis furrowed deep. and
Made smooth with hope and ten
derness.
For something Of formless grace
This moulded outline plays about:
a plying flame, beyond our trace,
Breathes like spirit, in and out
The love that cast an aureoIe
Round one who, longer to endure,
Called mirth to ease his ceaseless
dole,
Yet kept his nobler purpose sure.
Lo, as gaze, the statured man,
Built up from yon large hand, ap-
pears;
a type that Nature wills to plan
But once In all q peoples years
What better than this voiceless cast
TO tell Of such a one as he.
Since through its living semblance
passed
The thought that bade a race be
free!

MARRYING A MAN
FOR HIS BUSINESS

'"This above all: To thine own self be
And it must follow as the night the
day;
Thou cans't not then he false to any
man.
It's the most natural thing in the
world for girls family to wonder
what a young mans business is when
he begins to call on the daughter.
There are kin folk who encourage an
out-and-out romance, not giving II
any consideration whether the man In
the case is worth dollar or not. The
STRUGGLING young machinist looks just
as we'll to them as the young broker
There are others who will not encour-
age the calls Of a young man unless
he's in a prosperous business. Very
few girls take that view. If they care
for a young man that's enough. II
they don't his prosperous business is
no temptation for them to marry him.
Where a girl does marry man Tor
his business she faces all sorts OF
risks. He may be hopelesly in debt,
holding his head above water. Or he
may be running behind through no
fault of his own.
A young woman in New York, who
found married life a burden and be
sought the courts to free her from the
marriage tie, declared that she had in
reality married store. She was
obliged to take the man who owned it
along with it. That's the kind Of wo-
man marked out to travel an unhappy
road. If her husband pays her bills,
no matter how extravagant they are,
dissatisfaction on her part is held in
allegiance. It's when the busy bust
ness man tells her he can't get off for
two weeks to take her South that her
anger knows no bounds. She knows
that he is protecting the business she
married him for. But for all that, she
regrets being deprived of his company.
She wants him to be at her beck and
call. Usually there is very little love
in her heart for him. When she mar
ries the business, she expects that it
will provide plenty of pleasure for her.
She is the kind of wife who gets
into trouble by going alone to fash
ionajble restaurants at the noon hour,
or to the Kinks to watch the gay skat-
ers. Her handsome fur garments at
tract the attention of the men who
come to such places to flirt with wo-
men. She's in want Of amusement.
So are they. All in time affinity no
lions spring up between them.
There's a separation for the woman
from her husband. The rake for whom
she exchanges a good man soon lives
off the alimony she receives. He mar
ries her and it doesn't take him long
to go through the fortune she secured
from her ex-husband. The woman
who marries for any other reason save
love has a. terrible price to pay for the
folly. Her query shouldn't \be how
much he is worth, but how good he is
Wealth is likely to take wings. If that
is the only tie which binds two wed
ded people existence is almost sure to
be a battle for them ever after For

The Air Battle,

- as lightning from clear sky.
Every phase Of my plan worked
splendidly. Our huge ships moved
their way entirely through the line Of
thern battle craft; then the v opened
up and broad lane appeared, through
which the transports leaped toward the
temples Of the therns, which could now
be seen glistening in the sunlight.
By the time the therns had rallied
from the attack 100000 green warriors
were already pouring through their
courts and gardens, while 10000 9TH
ers leaned from low swinging trans
ports to direct their almost uncanny
craftsmanship upon the thern soldiery
that manned the ramparts or attempt
ed to defend the temples.
Now the two great fleets closed in a
titanic struggle far above the fiendish
din Of battle in the gorgeous gardens

CHRISTIAN CHURCH
 0UTCR0WS QUARTERS

The First Christian Church of Phoe- nix has outgrown its present quarters This was attested by the record break ing attendances at both Bible school and morning service yesterday. Addi tional seats were provided. but not withstanding. many were forced 10 stand throughout the services.
 This inconvenience. however. will be short lived if present plans of the pas tor and congregation carry. Plans are now being formulated for q modern and connections church building. more centrally located than the present quarters.
 The remarkable growth of the Bible school is due largely to the enthusiastic systematic work of it's general super intendent, Rev w. < Buchanan. and his corps of efficient helpers, while the recently enlarged Bible school orches- tra is drawing the music loving people of Phoenix to that church.
 The size of the Bible class has been steadily increasing. the maximum be- ing reached yesterday when l37 at tended. An effort will be made to have 200 next Sunday.
 The subject of Rev. Buchanans morning sermon was Why I Am a Member of the Christian Church"
 At the close of the tabernacle revival services. when many people are hes- tatng and debating in their minds be- fore placing their church membership this discourse. containing as ii did a concise statement of the plea of the Christian church. was appreciated Five people went forward in response to the gospel invitation.
 The text was taken from I Peter S:l5. But sanctify in your hearts tGf I s.-d haf d.s al. give answer 10 every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you. yet with meekness and fear"
 Briefly stated. Rev. Buchanan's ans wer to the question Why Am Mem Der of the Christian Church." was as follows:
 Because I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God be- cause l have repented of my past sins and have honestly tried to live the Christlike life; because l have con fessed Christ publicly: because I have been baptized into Christ Jesus and have risen to walk with Christ; because this church requires of me no other creed than Christ; because its belief Is broad enough to take in every re- ligious body on earth without any sac rifice of truth or conscience: because
 
 the Bible: because it honors Christ as It's head and no man or set of men, in that it bears the name Christian; be- cause it is not a denomination-the New Testament recognizes no divisions. divisions are keeping the world from Christ; because the Christian church recognizes Bible baptism and no other: because 1t observes the Lords Supper on each Lords day, according to Scrip ture: because in this church I can en- Joy the freedom of the Gospel: because as member of the Christian church l am permitted to speak where the Bible speaks and remain silent where the Bible is silent"
 The motto of the christian church. as given by Rev. Buchanan, is: NO name but Christ. no creed but Christ. no book but the Bible, no plea but the Gospel
