The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-05-29

Oh! II some OF you people were
only decent enough to say to Jesus
Christ, 81 am sorry, Lord, that ! have
lived In sin and served the DEVIL
am sorry | ever did it," Jesus Christ
would feel repaid a tF1ousand-foid for
all the spittIe that ever hit His face
from that Godforsaken mob, or for
all the rocks.
Listen to me-you needn't to talk
you are throwing rocks at Jesus Christ
every day you live without Jesus
Christ, the same as the other crowd,
and you are taking your stand with
the same crowd.
He'd feel repaid a thousand-fold If
you'd walk down this aisle and by that
act say you are ready to do His will
He niaketh me to lie down in
green pastures: He leadeth me beside
the still waters"
Hungry sheep will not lie down. a
hungry animal of any kind viii not
lie down, and the fact that 1t does, is
evidence of its satisfaction and con-
tentment.
Tell Incident OF
Helen Hunt.
I preached out in Colorado Springs,
one of the prettiest towns on earth
Colorado Springs. / preached out
there. / think there are more things
to see within the radius of the Pixies
Peak region than any like section of
the country, and l went nearly every
place there. Well. there was one place
did not go to-that was out to the
grave of Helen Hunt Jackson-and /
have always regretted it. l wanted
to go up to where they had buried her,
for this incident had always been
help to me.
One day she was walking down the
streets of Colorado Springs. 1t was a
cold day in the fall and there were
flurries of snow and gusts of rain COM
ing from old Pixies Peak. She felt
chilled, and she had on heavy wool
garments, then her heavy outer dress
and over that a gossamer, and she
carried an umbrella, and even with all
| that clothing she felt herself chilled.
| She was going down the street and
she turned the corner, and there in
front Of window where there was a
millinery display Of ribbons of all col
ors, she saw little girl about seven
J or eight years of age. On her arm
/ hung a basket and In that basket
were broken pieces of pie, cake,
dences that she had been the recipient
Of the hand of charity at some res
taurant or hotel, where they had Civ
en- away the scraps after the meal.
She had fascinator on her head and
she had on a calico dress, and she was
| barefooted and her lips were blue.
Entirely needless of the pasSersby,
/ she was looking into the window and
talking to herself, and she said:
/ Il choose that color and ! choose
that color, | choose that color, choose
| that color"
She turned and saw Miss Jackson,
and she kind of SHE'D bashfully away
and Miss Jackson said to her:
Honey, don't you be afraid. Stay
and look at the pretty things-they
are as much yours as mime"
And she ropped. dollar Into her
hand and turned and went away. She
couldn't get the pictuore of that little
girl out of her mind. She couldn't
have gone over three blocks until she
said to herself:
'Im going back and see II that little
girl is still there"
She peeked around the corner and
there, standing in the water UP to her
ankles, stood the little girl, with the
water dripping down from her fascin.
ator and from her dress, needless OF
the passersby, and every time she
said 1t, she hit the window with heI
finger: Il choose that color. and
choose that color. and / choose that
color"
Goinu To .....
Heaven.
1.-THE Lord is my Shepherd
choose that.
l am going to heaven. You can &C
to hell, if you want to, but hope you
don't. l choose the Lord. l choose
the pigments that, mixed up, make a
life of peace and joy to serve the Lord
He restoreth my soul; He leadeth
me in the paths OF Righteousness fol
His names sake"
How often we need restitution. We
get all run down and we need tonic
We need toning up morally, the same
as we do physically We have schools
to do that intellectually; we have
gymnasiums to do it physically. The
people that live in the country go tc
the city; the people that live in the
mountain region go to the seashore
and vice versa; people that live down
South come up north, and vice versa
We are as migratory as the birds. We
are looking for some condition and 10
cality which will be conducive to q
higher and stronger physical condi
ton, which we will enjoy.
HE restoreth my soul"
We visit world famous sanitariums
You let spring be discovered, nc
matter how remote, and the people
will journey from the farthest cor
ners of the earth, II II will only re
; store them to health,
HE restoreth my soul" And how
often weaneed it, too.
Adelaide Proctor tells us that years
and years and generations ago, out
,. side the walls of Paris battle wa:
waged and soldiers fell. One of the
soldiers there, when they nursed hin
to health and strength, became infat
uatd with one of the Sisters of Char
ity and they eloped. For a time hi
supported her and then he went away
from her.
Girl Returns
To Convent.
The Sister Superior, in addition t.
her own duties, carried on the duties
of this one. She knew, but she nevel
revealed the fact that this girl haC
wandered away in sin. After a while
sick and disguised, and loathing in
J iquity, the girl crept back upon tht
