Bible Talk TOdag

Il. Kings 1s:2o-24, 30. ss.3s)
So Ahab sent unto all the
children Of Israel. and gath
cred the prophets together
unto Mount Carmel.
And Elijah came unto all
the people. and said, How
long halt ye between two
opinions? IL the Lord be God.
follow him; but II Baal, then
follow him. And the people
answered him not q word.
Then said Elijah unto the
people, I. even / only. remain
q prophet OF the Lord: but
Baal's prophets are $50 men.
Let them therefore give US
two bullocks: and let them
choose one bullock for them
selves. and cut II In pieces,
and lay IL on wood. and put
no FIRE under: and will dress
the other bullock. and lay 1t
on wood, and put no fire un-
der:
And call We on the name OF
your gods, and I will call on
the name Of the Lord; and the
God that answereth by FIRE,
let him be God. And all the
people answered and said, II
Is well spoken.
And Elijah said unto the
people. Come near unto me.
And all the people came near
unto him. And he repaired
the altar of the Lord that
was broken down.
And It came to pass at the
time of the Offering Of the
evening sacrifice, that Elijah,
the prophet. came near, and
said: Lord God Of Abraham.
Isaac. and Of Israel, let II be
known this day that thou art
God in Israel, and that ! am
thy servant. and that ! have
done all these things at thy
word.
Hear me. o Lord, hear me,
that this people may know
that thou art the Lord God
1 that y thou hast turned
their heart back again.
Then the IRE Of the Lord
fell. and consumed the burnt
sacrifice, and the wood. and
stones, and the dust. and
licked up the water that was
in the trench.
And when all the people
saw 1t, they fell on their
faces; and they said, The
Lord, he IL the God; the Lord,
he Is the God.
The Washington herald., 1922-01-14

Baal did not answer, and then
Elijah gave additional proof o:
the completeness of his trust.
He ridiculed the prophets OF
Baal, Knocked them before he
himself had appealed to his God.
No man with the slightest doubt
would have taken the risk OF
laughing at his rivals before the
contest was over, but Elijah had
unquestioning faith and he dared
to ridicule the efforts of the
worshipers of q false god, just
a stoday the believers in a per-
scnal God, in an inspired Book,
and in a deified Christ. mock
those who would make the Gre
ator impersonal. the Bible a
story. book, and Christ q mere
man.
Power OF Prayer with Faith.
Then came Elijah's opportu-
nifty. and here again his faith
shines forth.
He was not content to call
down fire upon dry wood. as the
mophets of Baal had done. He
had the wood saturated three
times with barrels OF water
nossIbly the materialists think Il
was oil in disguise, but the spec
tators did no.. Elijah prayed.
and what a modest prayer it
was
Let it be known this day that
Thou art God in Israel, and that
I am Thy servant, and that
have done all these things at
Thy word"
Elijah was the conduit through
which the power of God flowed:
he was the instrument in Je-
boyah's hand. Could humility
be better expressed?
He was not thinking OF him
self, but of the children of Israel:
Hear me. o Lord. hear me, that
this people may know that Thou
art the Lord God. and that Thou
hast turned their heart back
again"
A recent writer. a processing
Christian, assumed to divide the
miracles into two groups, the In
diyidual to make the classifica-
ton for himself. In one group
would be the recorded miracles
for which there seemed Ito the
Individually to be no sufficient
reason: in the other group would
be the miracles that might be
justified according to the judy
ment OF the individually as neces-
sary to produce an effect worth
producing. Even according to
this ridiculous classification.
Elijsh's prayer test would seem
worth while. II was intended to
destroy faith in idol worship
which Jezebel was introducing
and to take the heart Of the
children OF Israel back to- the
God OF Abraham. Isaac, and or
Israel.

1t took a solid cord of wood
To git fire goin' good.
The fiunkies cleaned three forties bare
Each week TO keep a fire in there.
That stoves dimensions south to north,
From east TO west and so forth,
don't remember just exact,
And do not like TO state a fact
Uuless / know that fact is true
For / would hate deceivin' you,
But ! remember once that Joe
Put in a mammoth batch of dough
And then he thought lat least he tried
To take it out the other side
But when he went to walk around
The stove Git was so far) he found
That long before the bend he turned
The bread not only baked but burned.
We had two young coons for hunkeys, Sam
And Tom. Joe used to strap n ham
On each foot of both of them
When we had pancakes each a. m.
They'd skate around the stove-lids for
An hour or so and maybe more,
And grease EN- for him. But one day
Old Pink-eye Martin (anyway
He couldn't see so very good
Old Pink-eye he misunderstood
Which was the bakin' powder can.
And in the dough eight fingers ran
OF powder bastin-pOwder black
Those niggers never did come back
They touched a cake, FASH and poofi
Went Sam and Tommie through the roof
We hunted for a month or
But never found em-that you know,
Was the winter of the black snow
We put one hundred million feet
On skids that winter. Hard TO beat,
You say it was? IL was some crew,
We took il off one forty, too.
A hundred million feet we skid
That forty was a pyramid;
IL runs up sky-ward to a peak
To see the top would take a week.
The top of it. it seems TO me,
Was far as twenty men could see.
But down below the stuff we slides
For there was trees on all four sides.
And by the way, funny thing
Occurred along in early spring.
One day we saw some deer tracks there
As big as that Of any bear.
Old Forty Jones (Hes straw-boss on
This side where those there deer had gomez
He doesn't do a thing but he
Thinks out a scheme, and him and me
We set a key-og in pile
And watched that night for quite while
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1922-02-01

And when the deer came down to drink,
We tripped the key-log in a wink.
We killed two hundred in the herd
For Forty's scheme was sure a bird
Enough of venison we had got
To last all winter with one shot.
Paul Bunyan had the biggest steer
That ever was in camp that year.
Nine horses he'd out-pull and skid
He weighed ten thousand pounds he did.
The barn boss (handy man besides)
Made him a harness of all the hides
OF all the deer Git took 'em alb
And Pink-eye Martin used to haul
His stove-wood in. Remember yet
How buck-skin stretches when it's wet?
One day when he was haulin' wood
"a dead stub that was dry and good
One cloudy day, it started in
To rainin like the very sin.
Well Pink-eye pounded on the OK
And beat him over roads and rocks
To camp. He landed there all right
And turned around-no log in sight
But down the road, around the bend,
Those tugs were stretchin' without end.
wen flnk-eye ne goes IN 10 eat.
The sun comes out with lots of heat,
And dries the buck-skin that was damp
And hauls the log right into camp.
That was a pretty lucky crew
And yet we had some hard luck too.
You've heard of Phalen, double-jawed?
He had two sets of teeth that sawed
Through almost any thing. One night
He sure did use his molars right.
While walkin' in his sleep he hit
The fler's rack and, after it.
Then with the stone trough he collides
Which makes him sore and mad besides
Before he wakes so mad he is,
He works those double teeth of his.
And long before he gets his wits
He chaws that grindstone into bits.
But still we didn't miss it so;
For to the top we used to go
And from the forty's highest crown
We'd start big stones a-rolling down.
We'd lay an AK on every one
And follow it upon the run;
And when we reached the lowest ledge
Each ak it had a razor edge.
Jim Liverpool, for instance bet
Across the river he could get
BY iumpin' and he won it, too.
He got the laugh on half the crew;
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1922-02-01

For twice in air he stops and humps
And makes the river in three jumps.
We didn't have no booze around
For every fellow that we found
And sent to town for apple jack
Would drink it all up comm back.
One day the cookie parin' spuds
He hears a sizzlin' in the suds
And finds the peelin's, strange to say,
Are all fermentin where they lay.
Now sour-face Murphy in the door
Was standin' and the face he wore
Convinced the first assistant cook
That Murphy soured EN- with his look.
And when we had the parin's drained
A quart of Irish booze remained
The cook he tells the tale to Paul
And Paul takes Murphy off the haul
And gives him very willingly
A job as camp distillery.
At last, a hundred million in,
Twas time for drivin to begin.
We broke out rollways in a rush
And started through the rain and slush
To drive the hundred million down
Until we reached some saw mill town.
We didn't know the rivers NAME
Nor where to someone's mill it came,
But figured that, without a doubt,
To some good town, 'twould fetch us out
If we observed the usual plan
And drove the way the current ran.
Well, after we had driven for
At least two weeks and maybe more,
We came upon a pyramid
That looked just like our forty did.
Some two weeks more and then we passed
A camp that looked just like the last
Two weeks again another, too,
That looked like our camp came in view.
Then Bunyan called us all ashore
And held council-like of war.
He said with all this numbering,
Our logs would never fetch a thing.
The next day after Silver Jim
He had his wits scared out of him;
For while he's breakin' of a jam
He comes upon remains of Sam,
The coon who made the great ascent
And through the cook house ceilin' went
When Pink-eye grabbed the fatal tin
And put the blastin' powder in.
And then we realized at last
That every camp that we had passed
Was ours. Yes, it was then we found
That the river we was on was round.
And though we'd driven for many a mile
We'd drove circle all the while.
And that's the truth as I'm alive,
About the great Round River Drive.
What's that? Did anyone
Come on that camp of 61,
Or SO or IS
The year we drove Round River Drive?
Yes, Finn LAWYER, Tom Doyle and Me,
John Moen, and some two or three
Of good and truthful lumbermen
Came on that famous camp again
In west of Rhinelander 80 miles
Where all the face of nature smiles
We found the place in 81
But it had changed some since the war,
The fire had run some summer through
And spoiled the logs and timber too.
The sun had dried the river clean;
But still its bed was plainly seen.
And so we knew it was the place,
For of the past we found a trace
A peevie loggers know so well,
A peevie marked with circle /, ID.
Which you all know was Bunyan's mark.
The hour was late. twas gitten dark;
We had to move. But there's no doubt
1t was the camp I've told about
We eastward went, a corner found,
And took another look around.
Round river so we learned that day
On section thirty-seven lay
