Object Lesson From Samson.

son for those starting out in life with
the determination to become success
full, Billy Sunday in his sermon at last
evenings meeting in the Tabernacle
said:
Anybody starting out with the In
|tention Of making a success in life
and I should hope there is none that
don't want to; / believe everybody
wants to succeed. whether you are go
ing to be a lawyer. whether you are
going to be a doctor or merchant.
Whatever your calling may be in life.
nobody wants to be third-rater; we
always want to live under that banner
that says Success upon 1t. In my opin-
ion you can do nothing better than to
study the character and the career of
Samson. 1t Is SO full of the warnings
of the things which must be avoided IL
the building of a noble character is
the object desired.
1.-THE dangers which beset and finally
overwhelmed Samson were real dan
gers, and they are common to all and
they are sure to come upon all who
follow a similar course and career. The
story of his life shows the rocks upon
which you may wreck.

To the Editor of The Gate City:

Everyone who reads. knows that the

all possible is being done to relieve It..
There has not been a case OF need that
has been called to the attention Of the
mayor or the fuel commission in this
city that has not been relieved at once.
One of our dealers delivered seventy
odd loads of coal on Sunday last. Does
not this show you that the dealers are
doing their best to ill the empty bins?
It seems to me II your reporter
would go the rounds and find how

THE AWAKENING

taken years to make this change and
to prepare formerly kindly. gentle.
peace-loving people, people devoted
to love of music, arts, science and
home, into the ruthless, cruel savages
Of today. These were the Years of
peace that the Prussian used to pre-
pare for war.
When the war opened and the neu-
trality of the United States was de-
clared, it is safe to say that very
large majority of German-Americans
were decidedly pro-German. The
murder of non-combatants, women
and little children on the Lusitania,
aroused many to the actual conditions.
The entry of the United States into
the war awakened others. Now the
letters home from the boys in France,
the statements of men like Kahn and
Block are doing great work.
So the natural love for the land of
their birth, while it is not dead, is
more the love of son, for father
who is dead, a dear and sentimental
attachment for someone or something
now gone. 1t has no place in the war.
no bearing on the subject when once
the American of Germanic birth or
percentage thoroughly understands that
the Germany of today is not the old
and beloved "fatherland," but the
ruthless, murderous machine of Hin
denburg and Ludendorff and the Ho-
henzollerns. AS this understanding
spreads the German element in the
United States from pro-German be-
came passively loyal to America and
is now becoming actively, aggressively
loyal. The spirit of right and justice
and of humanity that prompted so
many to follow Siegel and Osterhaus
is again abroad In this work the
German-American Patriotic associa-
ton, just organized in Iowa, can and
will do much There is no place in
America for other than loyal citizens,
aggressively loyal citizens. Perhaps.
as a result of this war for humanity,
the fatherland known and loved, the
fatherland of the years before the
work of the Prussian militarist ruined
it. will be restored. When that time
comes all America will join in well
coming Germany back among the ma
tions OF the world; but not now. This
is war with the destroyer of Belgium
and northern France. that wantonly
destroys. ravages and rapes, that aids

sedition throughout the United States.

TODAYS BIT OF VERSE
ON AN OLD SONG.

Little snatch OF ancient song,
What has made thee live so longs
Flying on thy wings of rhyme
Lightly down the depths of time,
Telling nothing strange or rare.
Scarce thought or image there,
Nothing but the old. old tale
OF hapless lovers wall:
Offspring of an idle hour,
Whence has come thy lasting power!
BY what turn of rhyme or phrase,
BY what subtle careless grace,
Can thy music charm our ears,
After full three hundred years?
Little song, since thou vert born,
In the Reformation morn,
How much great has passed away
Shattered by slow decay.
Stately piles in ruins crumbled,
Lorldly houses lost and humbled,
Thrones and realms in darkness hurled,
Noble flags forever furled,
Wisest schemes by statesmen spun,
Time has seen them one by one
Like the leaves Of autumn fall
little song outlives them all.
w. E. H. Lecky. in The Academy.
