The last rites for the late John

read at the Methodist Episcopal

MY FRIENDS IN THE COUNTRY
BY Or. Frank Crane

Back in the city after my vacation, I sit
in my study and think of my friends in the
country.
Trees. One lone tree in a meadow, a
giant cottonwood, with cows under it.
Massed trees in the forest at a distance.
Armies of trees swar1ning up the mountain
side. A procession of trees along the road
side.
The Brook, happiest, playfulest, brightest
of all Natures children. The Waterfall. /
can close my eyes and see it's silver surface,
it's mounting spray, its flashing jewels, and
hear it's thunderous note.
The Cliff, standing out grimly, sturdily,
everlastingly defying the waters.
The Field. The waving surface Of golden
grain, the sweep Of meadow and upland
The Sea. For days / floated on a ship,
a little speck lost in the immensely Of sky
and water. The infinity of it haunts my
mind.
Greenness. Acres, miles, worlds Of green
grass and LEAKAGE. Gods color.
The smell of EARTH and the salt tang Of
the ocean. The odor of the fresh plowed
field, of the new cut hay, of the stacked
wheat and oats, of Barns and barnyards, Of
orchards and woods.
. Long stretches of railway.
Birds. Vultures poised motionless high
in the air. seagulls circling, swooping,
mounting, diving tirelessly.
Wild things. bear, a deer, scurrying
squirrels They are peep1ng among my
memories now they peeped at me from
among the LEAKAGE.
The Horizon Out at sea I saw it in it's
purity, with not building, a ship, noun
tain or any such thing to break the utter
purity OF its line. In the city there Is no
horizon.
The Wind. Not little sucking drafts or
street cramped gusts, but vast fronts of it,
miles wide, coming like an advancing army.
Wind fresh and rich and full of the med
tcine of the sun and sky and ocean.
The Path, zig-zagging across the heath as
OBVIOUSLY as life itself.
Roads, not streets. Roads, roads climb
ing up mountain sides, roads stretching
across plains, roads arched by trees, Dor
dered by weeds and brushwood, roads
straight, meandering, climbing hills, de-
scending valleys, crossing bridges.
The River, eternally seeking the sea-
Boats, herds Of cattle, droves of sheep,
flocks of birds, heaps of stone, innumerable
stars frettfng the vast night.
huge silences, not disturbed but accen-
tuated, by the sound of crickets and frogs.
So I sit in my chair IN my study and
think of my Friends in the Country.

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY

Lord Thou hast been our dwelling place
in all generations. Before the mountains
we're brought forth, or ever Thou hadst
formed the earth and the world epen from
everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God
For thousand years in Thy sight are but
as yesterday when it is past, and as a
watch in the night. The day of our years
are hreescore years and ten; and if
by reason of strength they be fourscore
years, yet is their strength labourr and
sorrow; for it is soon cut off and NE fly
away. So teach us to number our days
that ne may apply our hearts unto mis-
dom. Make us glad according to days
Wherein Thou hast afflicted US and the
years wherein NE hare seen evil. Let
Thy york appear unto Thy servants and
Thy glory unto their children. And let the
beauty of the Lord our God be upon u.s.
From, the Ninetieth Psalm.

One-Arm Pete and One-Toed Lucy-A Georgia Romance
ed by the Me riwether Vindicator


The old negro seems to love with all the
hrdor of old age and is happy DER the re-
united hearthstone. He occasionally comes
around to the Vindicator office and looks
lovingly at the scenes which met his gaze so
frequently in the long ago, when he was the
motive power of the paper.
He was as strong as a mule then, and
with his one arm could run the papers off
faster than a gas engine. 1t was in the dry
less days and he loved his dram With
about three under his shirt he could sing the
old songs all day long, and the more his
liquor was felt the more religious he became.
He sung with JUNCTION and emptied his soul
through his voice.
On Sundays he attended divine services
clad in one of my suits, twenty-seven sizes
too large for him, and wore his garments
with great pride and dignity. The thing he
was most proud of was derby hat several
sizes too small for him, which reclined on the
tip of his head. He was hearty in his amen
approval of the preachers words and shouted
with the zeal and power of soul just re-
deemed from the bottomless pit.
During his enforced widowerhood, when
moped in sorrow and frequently expressed
his disgust of a court that declared insane
one so brilliantly lucid as she. But now he
is happy Hope deferred has become hope s
fruit1on and now One-armed Pete and One
toed Lucy reunited in the bliss Of conjugal
felicity, walk hand in hand down the ways
of life towards the sea- of eternity.-H. H.

~ NE-ARM PETE and one-toed Lucy have
I J again entered into the joys of family
~ unity. After a period of several years
of separation they have joined hands once
more and are travelling life's pathway to-
gether.
In days gone by there were disputes and
aggressive differences but that was in the
heyday of youth, when they had strength
and vigor to fling dishes accurately and pre-
cipitate each other into the depths of wash
pots laden with water.
You will doubtless recall an incident told
by me about Lucy throwing Pete into the
pot from which he could not extricate him
self.
They had daily and nightly scraps in those
days. But now the fires of passion do not
burn so fercely in their blossoms.
Lucy spent years at the state sanitarium
and she has become somewhat subdued in
spirit.
Pete, during her absence, lapsed into leth-
argy Of movements and he is not so handy
in scrap. Besides this, he mourned the
absence of his spouse and is mellowed in
spirit.
But now in the glee of second childhood
they are walking downward to the rivers
brink. Not that even yet there fails to be
an occasional cloud the horizon, but
there is not much thunder and lightning.
The storm passes more swiftly and with less
force in its scope. Occasionally there are
still mutterings which break upon the home.

c. Why does H. G. Wells in his Outline
of History" give the date of the birth OF
Christ as 4 B. c.? w. G. G..
A. For many centuries the exact date or
the birth of Christ was based on the calcutta
lions of Dionysius learned monk OF Rome
of the sixth century. subsequent lnvestl-
cations, however, demonstrated that D1ony-
sius' date is at least four years too late. Inc
discrepancy was discovered by comparison
of the historical records of Rome with the
Scripture records of the birth of Christ. Ac-
cording to Scriptures, Christ was born at the
time of census or enumeration made In tho
territory of Herod, in accordance with the
decree of Augustus, when Quirinius Tin Blple
Cyranus) was exercising authority In the
Roman provinces of Syria. This was four
years earlier than the date of Dionys1us.
Q. Are olives grown in the United States?
r. n,
A. The region in which the olive may be
successfully grown for the commercial pro
duction of fruit in the United States is not
so great as for most frost hardy fruits. COM
mercial olive growing has been confined to
portions of California and Arizona although
the trees will live and bear some fruit in
portions of all of the southern states of this
country.
@. When were felons first sent to Brit
ish colony? J. E.
A. The first instance Of this sort was
when the king sent 100 prisoners from Eng
lish prisons to be sold as servants to the
Virginia planters
@. When were fire engines first used?
w. H. G.
A. Machines for. extingufshing fire were
known from a very early date. They were
employed by the Romans, and are mentioned
by Pliny. Fire engines of a sort we're used
in England at the end of the sixteenth CEN
fury. The first steam fire engine was devel-
oped by Braithwaite in 1929 or 1880. John
Ericsson worked on the problem about the
same time.
Q. Please tell me how the record of Poca-
hontas' burial reads? n. S. M.
A In the parish register of Saint Georges,
Gravesend, there is the following entry:
1916 OSLO, May Il, Rebecca Wrothe, wyff
of Thomas Wrothe, gent. Virginia lady
borne mere was buried in We chauncill."
@. What persons have walked across Nj
agara river at the Falls on tight-rope?
K. L.. S.
A. Tight-rope walkers who have crossed
Niagara Falls are Blondin, 1859; Maria
Spelterina, 1876. and John Dixon, 1890.
@. Does the Darwinian theory of evolution
include the proposition that men are descend
ed from monkeys? r. II. G.
A. This is the popular conception of the
| theory of evolution. What Darwin said,
however, was that man and the apes evolved
| from common ancestor. Concrete evidence
| of the ancestor of man, the so-called missing
| link, has not so far been discovered.
| @. What foods supply iron to the body?
n. E.
A. Among the iron-giving foods are lean
beef, eggs, oatmeal, whole wheat dried lima
! beans, dried peas, navy beans, spinach.
! prunes, apples, raisins, milk, corn meal,
| pearl barley, dandelion greens, dates and
olives.

A. The delivery of his speech took three

HEALTH EDUCATION
By H. Addington Bruce

r ESS than four years ago, in an educa-
tional conference at Washington, pr. L..
Emmett Holt. chairman of the Child
Health Organization of America, lamented
that the opportunity the school offered for
health education had hardly been recognized.
AS DIR. Holt rightly pointed out:
''In the school the child Is under continu-
Gus observation for eight or nine years. He
Is at a teachable age, in teachable mood,
and the school has the machinery for teach
ing.
THE long period Of school life permits a
great variety of teaching, from the simplest
things taught the youngest to the wider
knowledge which can be given the oldest.
Much more can be done in school than even
in the most enlightened home In fact the
home itself is often best reached by the
child"
In the short time that has elapsed since
DR.. Holt offered these exceedingly practical
suggestions, much has been done to give
them effect. In many schools today health
education is an established fact.
1t is forceful fact. too thanks to the in
genufty with which the laws OF health are
presented and health habits developed in the
children of the schools wherein health edu-
cation now is part of the regular teaching.
The instruction is largely through games
and competitions. There are toothbrush
drills and frequent uuizzes as to the faithful
home to such elementary health require
ments as regularity in washing face and
hands, bathing, sleeping with windows open,
and drinking plenty of water.
In some cases, where the so-called Health
Crusader movement has been adopted in the
schools parents are expected to cooperate
by signing a weekly report to teachers re-
garding the home health habits of the chill
dren. This has the two-fold effect Of help
ing to keep the children up to grade, so to
speak, and of impressing on their parents
the Importance of personal hygiene.
In not few schools there is daily or fire.
quent recitation of health rhymes. An there
is occasional presentation of health plays,
written for the special purpose of educating
in health through amusement and entertain
ment. 14ealth fairies and health clowns are
popular visitors to many schools today.
The effort, in short, is to avoid so far as
possible dry-as-dust textual instruction, and
to appeal primarily to the imagination of the
children. Some formal imparting OF facts
there is OF necessity, but this happily is min
imized.
