FEBRUARY
sY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1921, by Frank Crane)

"All things are not what they seem," sang Little
Buttercup and we agree with her as heartily as the
chorus
Particularly when we think of February.
February is the shortest month in the year, only
it is not 1t just so. Really 1t is the longesV
month.
1t drags. 1t never gets done.
1t is the last of winter Winter was all rlgnt IN
December with its slegh-bells and Christmas Time;
but along about February when it is sush and lnflu-
enza, it gets on our nerves.
1t is like bore who will not go away.
1t is like the caller who stands at the door
and talks half an hour after she has said goodbye.
It is like the last third of the parsons sermon,
which goes on after he has had many splendid oppor-
tunty to quit.
It is like the last few sticks in the cord of wood,
which everyone knows are the hardest to saw.
1t is like paying off mortgage after the house
has burned down.
It is like the last year of the war
1t is like old age when one has lost interest IN
everything
| never knew anyone who liked February.
1t is nothing but month.
Il contains Washingtons Birthday and Lincon's,
and Saint Valentines Day. And once every four years
it contains an extra day.
But that is all that can be said for it.
All other seasons have their delights. Anybody can
be good in Spring when the grass is greenng and
flowers preenng. And Summer is the time for holidays
and loafing And Autumn is rich in fruits. And VIM
ter has its keen delights. But February is just-ba.
The little runt makes a feeble effort to be funny
bv bringing around Leap Year every four years,
and giving the old maids chance. But have never
noticed that it did them much good Before they learn
how to use it. they are too old.
Besides this, it meSSes up the calendar. IL has TWO
days less than any other month most OF the time, but
we cannot depend upon that for every once IN
while it has only one day less
Somewhere l suppose, in the wise counsels OF des-
tinv February has its purpose But as far mortal
mind can see it is only just another thing to be lived
through-like the measles or the chcken-poX

The following Creed of Abraham
Lincoln is a compilation from his au-
thentic writings and speeches by DR..
William Z. Barton, author of The
Soul of Abraham Lincoln" The
words Il believe" are prefaced TO
these statements, and a few changes
made Of a grammatical nature, but
except for changes such as these,
which in no way modify the sense or
natural force of the utterances, the
creed which follows is wholly in the
words Of Abraham Lincoln:
CREED
believe In God, the Almighty Rul-
er Of Nations. our great and good and
merciful Maker, our Father in
Heaven, who notes the fall Of a spar
row, and numbers the hairs OF our
heads.
believe in His eternal truth and
justice.
recognize the Divine Truth an
nounced in the Holy Scriptures and
proven by all history that those na-
tions only are blest whose God is
the Lord.
I believe it is the duty OF nations
as we'll as of men 10 own their de-
pendence upon the overruling power
of God. and to invoke the influence
of His Holy Spirit; TO confess their
sins and transgressions in humble
sorrow, yet with assured hope that
genuine repentance will lead to mercy
and pardon.
