Parable of Crumbs and Bubbles


I Now was meditating on the things
that seem to be Trivial and how wher
Z they are many, they become an Hear
so that they Block the Amenities OF
\ Life
And / listened and ! heard the Pat
ter of Little Feet, and / stopped my
work, and the daughter of the daugh-
ter of Keturah ran into mine arms
and pulled my Beard, and kissed me
upon both cheeks and once beside
and she said:
Grandpa, on this day / am Three
Years Old, and behold there hath been
given to me a Doll, and Cake with
Three Candles thereupon.
And | said unto her, 1t was a glad
day when God sent thy Mother to us
and another glad day three years ago
when He did send thee; and behold
the years have gone so fast that when
hold thee in mine arms, / know not
ii it be thee or thy mother.
And she said, Grandpa, Behold it
Snoweth. Take me out that / may
behold the Snow.
So | took her out, wrapped in her
Double Garments, and she rejoiced in
the Snow. And she beheld how it
came down in her face in what she
called Little Bubbles, for they melt
ed straightway, and how it fell upon
my coat in what she called Little
Crumbs.
For it is on this manner that she
fitch the words that she knoweth to
her New Experiences, and oft do |
marvel at the way in which she
findeth word for the thing she hath
not known. And / considered her use
of the words Bubbles and Crumbs of
Snow. And we went within the house,
and watched through the window, and
we saw the Snow strike the window
in Bubbles, and fall outside in
Crumbs. And the Crumbs and the
Bubbles were both Very Little
Things.
Now when the morning was come.
Behold the Snow was piled at my door
in Great Drift. And listened, and
behold there were no Trains, and l
waited, and behold there were no
Mails. And certain of my neighbors
had no Coal and could not get it.
And | considered, and said, Behold
the Crumbs of Snow and the Bubbles
of Snow that fell in the face of the
Little Maiden, and on the Overcoat
of her Grandfather. How small were
they one by one, and behold they
Stop the Trains.
And considered that it is even so
with many things in life. that are
small in themselves, but when multi
piled they become Habits that men
cannot break, or Grievances that rend
Friendships Asunder, even as Great
Drifts are made of Bubbles and

The Little Things

If you are signing for lofty work,
If great ambitious dominate your
mind.
Just watch yourself and see you do
not shirk
The common little ways of being
kind
If you are dreaming of future goal,
When, crowned with glory, men
shall own your power,
Be careful that you let no struggling
soul
Go by unaided in the present hour.
If you are moved to pity for the
earth,
And long to aid it, do not look so
high
You pass some poor, dumb creature
faint with thirst;
All life is equal in the eternal eye.
If you would help to make the wrong
things right
Begin at home; there lies life
time toll.
Weed your own garden fair for all
mems sight
Before y on plan to till another's
soil.

to do II for her. He knew all about II,

he would do more than she had

personally word OF comfort. His
disciples were surprised that he should
ask, "Who touched my clothes?" for
as Peter and the others said: MAS
ter. the multitude throng thee and
press thee" Tvs. 81; Luke S:45). But
there Is great difference between
touching or hearing him as the crowd
does, and touching or hearing him for
a definite blessing or message to ones
own self. As he looked round about.
TO see the one who had touched him,
not that he needed to look, for he
knew, but for her sake; she fearing
and trembling. fell down before him

the broken-hesrted father had time to

as Jesus heard the word, he said to the
ruler. "Be not afraid. only believe"

Another scheme for swindling the
farmers of the United States has been
discovered by the Federal Farm Loan
Board. A man advertising himself
as an authorized organizer OF ma
tional farm-loan associations is send
ing out advertising matter emblazon-
ed with the national flag, stating that
he will organize such associations at
$500 each, and will teach others the
trick for a certain sum of money. His
advertisements have reached farmers
and business men over a large part OF
the United States. He claims to be
so busy organizing national farm
loan associations that he needs help,
but will take time to teach others for
la monetary consideration.
All such representations are frau
|dulent. In order to borrow under the
farm-loan act, it is necessary for
farmers to organize cooperative ma
tional farm-loan associations in their
local communities. 1t is violation
of a ruling of the Federal Farm Loan
Board, published more than a year
ago, for national farm-loan associa-
ton or a joint-stock land bank to
spend any money for promotion pur-
poses. Associations thus organized
will not be chartered by the Federal
Farm Loan Board Farmers are
warned therefore against anyone
asking a fee for his proffered SER
vices in connection with applying for
a loan under the Federal farm-loan
act.

Drunken Men in Uniform

DR.. Jefferson in his description of
Camp Wadsworth draws a splendid
picture of the clean conditions of that
camp, an ideal for which every Ameri-
can father and mother feels proud
and thankful. He says he saw nc
drunkenness. | did not fail to see
drunken men in uniform in every one
of the fifty towns where | spoke dur
ing the two short months / was in
Great Britain. saw the men in khaki
thrown out of the pubs" in Liverpool
in order to open a lane to let more in.
And when our boys begin to go over
in the spring. they will not be pro-
tected from the British brewer and
his deadly poison. And that is the
irony Of the situation as see it after
my visit.
We train our boys in clean sur
rcundings like Camp Wadsworth,
Camp Funston and Camp Pike, and
we take them over to Great Britain
in prohibition ships, and then the
great British government, our ally,
takes our boys and deliberately sells
them the stuff that America, by the
action of twenty-eight sovereign
States has declared to be foe to NOR
atty and health, breeder of disease,
and a menace to all clean and efficient
living.
Whe have made it a criminal Of
Tense in the United States for any one
to sell a man in uniform Intoxicating
drink. Is it anything more than right
that our government should say to
Great Britain that before she can
have our sons she must observe the
same rule there that we have made
here?
If she will not do this, / say that
the friendship which now exists as it
never yet existed in all our history,
will be strained to the breaking point.
The war will go on. But the friend
ship which ought to be at the heart of
the alliance will not be a part of the
final victory.
That is the conclusion reached by a
Kansarf who has just come back from
the mother country.
