COULDN'T CONFESS JUST THEN
Good Reason Why Brother jackson
Preferred to Postpone the Enumer-
alton. of His Sins.

The negro revival had proceeded
with great gusto and nearly all the
eligible material in town had been
converted. One hardened sinner, who
had several times been in trouble with
the law, was about the only victim
left. The preacher concentrated his
'oratory on this lone member of the
congregation.
'Brudder Jackson, de day OBJ iudg-
ment am at hand Him what hest
tates am lost! Brudder Jackson, why
don't you confess your sins?"
Brother Jackson, however, failed to
come across-and his abb was fool
proof.
"Pahson, All suah would fall foah
glory and confess NAH sins-but de
grand jury done been in session."

KEEPING YOUR CAKE
AND EATING TT TOO

Sanctuaries for fur bearing ami
mails as one means of keeping up the
supply are urged by the Department
OF Agriculture whose biological sur
vey tells the story of the increased
worth Of fur. One man bought lynx
coat complete in 1913 for $4,000.
After wearing it for two years, he
sold the lining for 100000 and re-
placed it with nutria at cost of
$4,000; in 1917 he sold the nutria
lining for $4,000 and put in musk
rat lining at a cost of $500; in
1913 he sold the muskrat lining for
$4,000 and still has the shell of
the coat and clear profit of $685.

ARE YOU SHEDDING?
BY Guy Flenner.

It's slippery, but you can avoid
skidding. There is a chance to skid
at every turn of life's highway. Safe
ty comes by putting on the chains OF
common sense and character poise.
Some of us may be skidding a bit
because conditions are slippery.
We've allowed ourselves to get out
into lot of slush instead of staying
with the firm going. We have become
rather discontinued and discouraged.
We think we see insurmountable OBJ
stacles to contamination of our
plans and attainment of our desires.
But when we carefully survey the
have moved, we find it is not so bad
after all and that the chances for
success are just as good as they ever
were. So we put on the chains of con-
fidence and get into the road again.
Our old friend, Major Reed, did us
all favor when he sent out that
card, why be Discouraged" The
printed lines under that captain told
of the discouragements met with by
Abraham Lincoln. Nothing came
right for him. He went down to de-
feat, time after time, but he kept in
he road with the chains on. He
didn't skid. Who hears about those
who contributed to the continued
reverses of Lincoln? Their names
are hardly ever mentioned. But
Lincoln! How he still lives!
We can't all be big Lincolns, but
we can be little Lincolns. We can't
all be generals, but we can all be
rood soldiers.
There are some who apparently
Hannot help skidding into the slush
Of impracticable and dangerous solu
ions for economic and kindred prob
ems. They find it difficult to STAY
on the hard surface of facts, intelli-
gent research and sane conclusions.
They go skidding and humping along
on the edge of the highway, getting
n deeper every minute. They neg
he chains of plain American COM
ION sense. 1t is a fine thing that
cost people use them, or the United
states would be made over" like
Hussia was We don't notice any of
he Trotzky or Lenine followers
Having the United States voluntarily
. take up their abode in that Rus
ian Utopia.
But we are all liable to skid if
we do not watch the road and keen
the chains tight. Chained to safety,
to sanity, to practical solutions. we
ran move along with feeling of in
dividual and community security.
One way of skidding that is liable
to produce a smash up, not only for
the individual, but for communities
and the state, is to leave off the
chains of prudence. You may have
heard it whispered that this con-
'ern or that institution was&r~SAl
way? If it were true why hurt every
one by peddling it. The very rumor
might make an actuality of a mere
possibility, remote possibility. We
lon't want any crashes. When you
smash concern, you smash some
hing in your own home.
When we are not skidding around
md wasting our gas, we are moving
long the straight lines of progress
nd development.

IMAGINATION IN FAITH
SUBJECT OF SERMON.

Declaring that imagination plays
great part in a mans faith, DR..
Henry Allen Tupper, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, yesterday
morning pointed out the reasons
why God is not found by somo
people.
Visions are often the vehicles of
truth in this volume; and withou,
the use of a sanctified Imagination.
God is often inaudible to the soul.
invisible to the spiritual eye and
Intangible to the hand of faith.
From the opening to tine closing of
thls book Of Revelation more than
the material instinct and powers
are appealed to; and man is bourne
upon uplifting wings into attitudes
and atmosphere far beyond his
physical attainments.
The grades of life are clearly
marked. Like the man in Bunyan's
FHgrlm's Progress they never lift
their faces from the earth and never
learn that crown of glory is just
above their heads" he continued.
Some lives are mechanically
mental They are mental machines
and every thing is weighed in the
balances of their fallible thought
and their learned logic. Some lives
while recognizing the place and
power of the material and mental
are swayed by an active faith and
a quiCkening Imagination"
Ezekiel was one of the most pic
turesque and poetic prophets: and his
visions and flights of imagination
bring before US the dealings of the
Almighty. The flow of these won
drous waters brings fertility and
fountains of blessing" concluded
the pastor.
