Willing to Get Hit Again

Once when John D. Rockefeller
was playing golf negro boy crossed
the links. Mr.. Rockefeller had Just
given the ball vigorous stroke, and
the lad received the missel squarely
on the head. 1t was n heavy blow
but it only stunned the boy a little,
and after blinking his eyes for a mo-
ment he was himself again.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who had rushed
up, fearing that the boy had been
badly hurt, was relieved to find that
he took it calmly, and, pulling a SIS
bill from his pocket, he gave it to
the youngster as a salve for his feel
ings.
The boy looked at the bill and grin
ned with delight. Then he looked at
Mr.. Rockefeller and inquired:

Fourteen nations, representing

agreed upon document which makes

an immortal instrument that blesses
all the world for all generations.
To-day fresh wind blows over
the earth. The noxious gasses of
balances of power, secret diplomacy,
protected frontiers, conscription and
competitive building read their doom
in the decree of this true parliament
of man which has seen theories and
dreams find practical insurance and
idealism made the most real thing in
all the world.

everywhere is the significant express
sion used by correspondents cabling
out of Paris Out of travail and de-

lusty and strong. In the crucible of
love and peace, all differences were
welded into indestructible metal
which no provincialism can break or
bend.
Woodrow Wilson, to whose inflex-
ible purpose and leadership chief
credit is due, truly declared it is
union of wills which can not be re-
sisted and which dare say, no nation
will run the risk of attempting to

"OUR DAILY BREAD

The Advertiser has had occasion
before to reproduce and commend the
Common Sense Comment OF NIr.
N. L. Willet, in The Augusta Chron-
icle. He is remarkable man be-
cause of the great variety of subjects
which he treats, all with clearness
and ABILITY. he Is business man
of Augusta and how he can find time
to furnish the Chronicle every day
column or so of interesting and in
structive matter upon variety of
important topics is difficult to COM
prehend.
A recent article upon "Superstan-
tial Bread" gives some idea of the
extent of his reasearch and reading.
He was commenting upon an article
In quarterly Review entitled "rhe
Lords Prayer in a Dozen Langu-
ages" He brings out fact that is
not generally known that the word
dread" in the petition Give us this
day our daily bread" in some trans
lations is rendered "superstantial
bread"
Mr.. Willet suggests that this means
something super or above the ordin-
ary bread. He makes this very per
tinent and forceful comment upon
this idea:
81 take it that the meaning Of
bread here is that which mems souls
feed and grow on. | have neyer per
sonally believed that the word bread,
which is in the midst of the Lords
Prayer, and is all surrounded by IN
finities and transcendentals should
refer to the human stomach.
1t is this kind Of bread that the world
is sadly needing today in our educa-
tional system. There are other
things in ,:fe than that of making a
mere living-simply feeding the
stomach and clothing the body. The
cultured man is the man of many
languages. Both mind and soul need
something more than which the bak-
er-man is daily turning out"

BOOST

Boost, and the world boosts with YOU ::
Knock, and you're on the shelf;
For the world gets sick of the one
who kicks
And wishes he'd kick himself.
Boost when the sun is shining,
Boost when it starts to rain;
If you happen to fall, don't lie there
and bawl,
But get up and boost again.
Boost for the towns advancement,
Boost for the things sublime;
For the chap that's found on the
topmost round
Is the booster every time.

In answer to a cry;
The world was brett of liberty,
And only death was nigh.

To friend and foe alike,

Forbade the blow to strike.

With snow white flag unfurled,
And at the helm he stands to-day,
The Hope of all the world.

26 days in German hospital; was treated

part was got little to eat.
Think killed my part of the Huns in

two cay and one night. Glad l got out

Have had good rest here and plenty of
good things to eat Will rejoin my CON-

That Union Revival.
(Contributed)

Rev. A. G. Melton proposes to enter
into union revival meeting with all the
churches and people of Roberdel, Han
nah Pickett and Entwistle mills. My
view of the matter is that we can we'll
afford to set aside our UNCONVENTIONAL
views and enter into this work for the
salvation of the unsaved of our commun-
ity and for the edifcation of our churches
The Bible teaches us that where there
there is unity there is strength and that
divided we fall And believe that one
of the secrets of our church weakness of
today is that we stand too far apart. |
believe that every man ought to believe
something and stand upon it, but we
should not let that something stand be-
tween us and the salvation of souls. Let's
hear from the pastors and people Of the
several churches of the community.
