Hard CIDER HomiIies.

Different people have different ways
OF giving us pain; our friends leave
us-and our relatives fail to.
Eternity is almost beyond human

a period so long that it would allow
a man to save enough cigar coupons
to get a piano or a motorcycle.
Propinquity may account for many
marriages, but it is responsible for
even more divorces.
1t has taken Satan thousands of

CURED MONARCH OF AVARlCE
Power Of Turning Everything He
Touched Into Gold Quickly Palled
on King Midas.

1t was because King Midas helped
q drunken companion of Bacchus to
sober up that he received the power
Of turning everything into gold at his
touch. Bacchus had offered to grant
Midas anything he asked, and the
king wished this unpleasant power
upon himself, according to Ovid.
Midas enjoyed himself immensely
at first, turning twigs, apples, stones
and clods of earth into gold. But the
trouble began as soon as he sat down
to eat. The bread he touched turned
to gold and defied his teeth. The wine
flowed down his throat as LIQUID
gold.
According TO an embellished YER
sion of the myth, the browning mis-
fortune wrought by Midas curse in
blessings guise was when, in the act
OF caressing his little daughter, he
turned the child into golden
statue.
Bacchus had been aware that the
gift was anything but desirable.
SO. believing Midas cured of avarice,
he sent the king to wash away the
power in the fOuntainhead Of the
River Pactolus. AS a result of his
bath, the sands of that river remain
golden to this day.

SEEING POWER OF INSECTS
Interesting Data Collected in Connec.
ton With Studies in Comparison
With the Human Eye.

Very curious data have been collect
ed In regard to the seeing powers Of
Insects. The human eye in perfect
condition is able to see objects sepa-
rately t.at are only one minute of arc
apart. Put two objects, as, for in
stance, two black circles. on a white
ground just one inch apart and then
place them at a distance of about
2S61a feet. AS seen with the naked
eye the apparent space between the
circles will be minute of arc. This
space is plainly the limit of detail Wis
ible to the unassisted human eye.
Now 1t might be supposed that an
insect, having compound eye, would
be able to see more detail than we do ::
In other words, could separate small
objects closer together As matter
or fact, owing to the small aperture of
the lenses composing the facets of the
eye, and the spacing between the
facets, insects see less detail than
We do.
II has been calculated that q dragon
ny cannot see separately two objects
that are placed less than one degree
apart. In other words. to such an in
sect two silver coins living on a table
three inches apart, and viewed from
distance exceeding 14B feet, would
appear as single object.
Bees and flies, according to the
same Investigator, are still more lin
Tied in their ability to see the details
OF objects presented to their eyes. A
fly could see the two silver coins above
described separately only at a dis
lance not exceeding about seven feet.
1t has been remarked as conse-
quence Of this that we can see the de-
tails on the antennae of fly at a dis
lance Of two feet or more better than
the fly itself can, though they are but
the fraction of an inch from its eyes

THIRD - Sabbath dissertation.
Men cannot ignore the law of God
which commands every man to
stand still and rest on the first day
of the week. The Sabbath desc
Grafton which is on the increase in
this country is largely responsible
for the confusion, the chaos, and the
anarchy that is rampant in this
land. Bring men back to the OBJ
servance of the Holy Sabbath.
FOURTH-Neglected spiritual
duties. 1t is the duty of every man
to be in his church pew every Sum-
day morning, to give his child
spiritual education, to set before his
family a spiritual example and to
give some of his time to the spiritual
work of the church. Men are neg
lecting their churches; they are for
getting their spiritual duties; they
are emitting to pay their obligations
to God.
America was intended to be
land of Christian people. You can't
be Christian and neglect your spiri-
tual obligations.

In describing the weapons Of the
cowboy of the Western range, Philip
Ashton Rollins In his book says: The
rifle, when carried, was conveyed, not
by the cowboy himself, but by his
horse, which bore II In q quiver-shaped,
open-mouthed scabbard, into which the
rifle went up to its stock. This scab-
bard sometimes hung from the saddle
horn, but more commonly was slung,
butt forward, in an approximately hori-
Eontal position along the near side of
the animal, and passed between the
two leaves Of the stirrup-leather. The
rifle was thus eschewed, because, be-
Ing heavy, 1t interfered with ready
saddling and unsaddling; and, being
bulky, 1t materially detracted from the
riders comfort.
After the early '70s the rifle, regard

term, because of its similarity to the

occasionally paraphrased into "Wor-

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS
AS MONEY RAISERS
Have Collected $4,000, 900
and Pledge Themselves to
Make it SIS, 100000.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 1.-THE
Southern Baptist Convention has
raised more than S35,OOO,OOO of it's
$75,O0O,000 fund for enlarging it's
work, and it's members pledged
themselves here late today to push
forward to completion of the fund
in 1924.
More than $12,000,O02 in cash was
collected in the twelve months since
the last convention, which it was
pointed out, had been accomplished
despite the general business depres-
slsR.
The ministerial reIief and annuity
fund has passed the million dollar
mark and it's goal was set at ten
million through adoption of the com
mittee report.
The convention received an invita-
ton to meet next year at Hot
Springs, Arkansas.
Tonight the annual convention
sermon was delivered by the Rev.
DIR. s. j. Porter of Oklahoma City.
who pleaded for return to normalcy
in religion.
The first session of the Woman's
Missionary Union, an auxialiary of
the convention, also was held tonight
with reports of its officers showing
increased growth.
Much other BUSINESS was trans
acted during the first day of the
66th annual session, which was
marked by the refusals of the mem
bers to consider a proposal for tri-
ennial meetings with an enlarged
executive committee meeting an
nually. 1t referred to committee
proposals to extend the closing of
the $75,000,000 fund until Novem-
ber /, 1924, from May /, 1924, and to
act in cooperation with the North
ern Baptist Convention in drawing
up a statement of Baptist principle
and in synchronizing certain church
campaigns.
The $75, 100000 five year cam
paign is for the furthering of the
work now done in foreign missions,
Christian education, hospitals. or
phanges and ministerial relief, and
the report of the convention COM
mittee in charge of it was adopted
and the commission ordered contin-
ued another year.
