"THE POWER OF CHARACTERv

Reputation is what men THINK
you are, character is what you ARE.
Character will determine beforehand
what one is likely to do under GER
tain circumstances. Ii one is a
kleptomaniac he will steal where the
the least opportunity offers. Just re-
rently the wife of a prominent and
wealthy business man in one of our
large cities was found to have made
numerous thefts. Faced with the evil
dence of her crimes she declared 1t
was impossible for her to resist the
temptation to steal when opportunity
offered.
Over against this / want to say here
that il is genius of Christ's gospel to
change such characteristic renew
them in righteousness. That was
what Paul was thinking when he said
"If any mau be in Christ he is a new
creation" This new character NOV
es in the same world and perhaps In
much the same environment, but
with an entirely different motive and
action. This new life seizes upon
him and moves him to help his fell
lows. During a yellow fever epidem-
ic in the south there came one day,
when the Relief Committee of a GER
tain city were at their wits end TO
obtain watchers, a man with course
features, close-cropped hair and shuf-
fling gait, and said to one of the ply
sicians: 81 want to nurse" The do,
tors looking at him critically decided
he was not at all fiji for the work, ana
replied: "You are not needed" The
man persisted and at last the doctor
agreed to try him for a week. The
doctor determined to keep a watch
on him, but before The week had pass
ed the new nurse showed that he
needed no watching. He became one
of the most efficient and s~elf-denying
of the heroic band. Wherever the
pestilence was fiercest he worked hard
est. To the neglected and forgotten
his rough face was as the face of an
angel. On payday he seemed to act
strangely. He was followed through
hack streets to an obscure pace
where he was seen to put his whole
weeks earnings into the relief box
for yellow fever victims. In a shorI
time he contracted the plague and
died. When the body was being pre-
pared for its unknown grave, a livid
mark was found which showed that
he had been branded as a convicted
felon. The miracle wording Christ
had renewed the character of tho
felon and he expressed it In terms o.
service.
Character has strong influence IL

with. The presence of one who
would disdain to do wrong or utter
words unseemly, puts restraining ef-
feet upon on who would not. In a
time of decision between a right and
wrong course such character helps
the weak and faltering one to decide
for the right.
mo, say what you have to say in
her presence too" said King Cleom-
enes of Sparta, when his visitor, Au-
istogoras, knowing how much harder
it is to persuade a man to do wrong
when his child is present, asked him
to send away his little daughter Cor
go, ten years old. When the stranger
offered her father more and more
money If he would aid him in a
wrong enterprise, and she saw the
troubled look upon her fathers face,
she said, as she took him by the hand
Come away papa, or this strange
man will make you do wrong" The
king went away with the child, and
saved his country and himself from
dishonor. The power of character
excited upon the action of another is
great, even In a child.
Character is the sheet-anchor In
times of stress and storm. Character
made Luther say before the Diet OF
Worms: Here / stand. ! cannot
do otherwise. God help me. Amen"
1t was this anchor that held Lin

Miller Ball Team Defeats
Highmore And Miranda

The Miller base ball team defeated
the Miranda team Wednesday at Mi
Ianda 2 to /. The game was reported
to have been a real snappy exhibition
of the national pasttime, no scores be-
ing made until the Sth inning. In
this inning with one down, Miller
crossed the plate with two scores.
Simons and Clark singled and Schroe-
der came through with a big Bertha"
that scored both runners. Miranda
started a rally in their half of the Sth
but it fell one short of tying the score.
The ninth ended in one two third
order. Cotton and Simons we're the
battery artists for Miller.

Last Sunday Highmore came down
with a ball team and a strong contin-
gent of fans with the intention of win
ming a ball game, but the Miller team
upset their dope and handed them a
decisive defeat to the tune of Is to 3.
Some say that it was all Dos" fault
because he made faces at the pitcher
in Miller first turn at bat, whatever
it was, the locals seemed to have the
iinxs on their opponents pitches and
landed too frequently on their offer
ings for safe hits. A light rain in the
eighth inning interrupted the game
and saved the westsiders from further
slaughter. A return game will be
played in the near future when High
more will try to return the compli-
ments.
Arrangements are being made for a
game on the local grouncs for next
Sunday afternoon.

Insurance Exemptions

Quite a number of exemptions from
bail insurance, under the provision of
the state hail insurance law, are be
ing filed at the Auditors office. 1t
seems that a large number of the
farmers are willing to take a chance
on the destruction of their crops by
hail during the summer season, and
are therefore filing their exemptions.
Owners of growing crops have until
June 18th to file such exemptions.
