COMMUNITY PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH
ALONE WITH GOD

by Raymond L. AcheSon
I wandered far from noisy crowds,
In search of something different.
/ thought I'd stop not far away.
But soon ] changed my mind, fol
there
Were men close by; and on I went
And so journeyed far from sight
Of men. Alas, I stopped to think,
To think alone; and while I sat
So still and thought, I knew not time.
I left the things of yesterday,
Nor did I dream of those to come.
The waters laughed, the whistling
Now seemed SO free. The birds their
songs
So sweetly sang. 1t seemed to me
That life was good, that life was dear,
That life was peace, that life was love.
So softly low, light unknown
To me before came in my soul.
That light so sweetly stirred me then,
A joy / never knew before
Took full possession of my heart,
And then I knew the Comforter.
/ knew that / was not alone,
I found that something different,
/ felt a happiness supreme,
A joy, a peace, love I had.
So strange to me, ! only then
Knew life; and all that matters-God.
With a momentum that surprised
even the most cheerful of the opti-
mists, the piano fund got away to a
good start Sunday night when $l20
was raised in about five minutes by
a congregation that gave whole-hcart-
eddy. The piano is expected to be on
hand in few days.
Services next Sunday will be in
the morning at II o'clock. Special
music will continue.

FAITH

Everyone takes frequent glimpses
into the future through one of two
field glasses - faith or fear. The
doors, the winners-to-be, believe in
what they want to see. There's some
thing of the gutter in man who
can't see anything good ahead.
Your faithful present will build
your successful future but fears of
what's to be will destroy your power
to control the present.
Believe your plans good until you
find them faulty. Believe in the pos
sibilities of other men. And when
you're forced to give up some of your
beliefs, find newer and bigger ones
to take their places.
Faith doesn't demand miracles =
but often saccomplishes them! -
Selected.

THOSE IMPORTANT FIRST
YEARS
(Helen Gregg Green)

(Helen Gregg Green) +
Dropping in at Gloria's I found her
in tears.
"Why, my dear, what is the mat
ter?" l asked.
TITS Albert!" she answered between
sobs, "he's-he cut his initials on the
handsome new victrola Greenwood
School has just purchased"
was amazed.
ooh, Gloria, surely not Alberta
boy of ten-a lad with you for
mother. Why, it must be mistake"
"No-o-t am so Inundated! The
principal just called. I don't know
what possesses the child. A week ago
the physical director 'phoned his fa-
Their, complaining that crowd of the
boys were defacing the new gynna-
siun-drawing pictures and writing
names on the wall. And Albert was
one Of them!"
There was little I could say to COM
fort her. / left her still grieving.
And then began wondering why I
had said, "A lad with you for moth
er," for I easily recalled some of AL
bert's pranks when he was a mere
fodder.
One evening I had called at Gloria's
to see her new wallpaper. In two
conspicuous places Albert had made
huge curly-cues with crayon.
why, Gloria, did you let Albert do
that?" asked.
"Let him?" complacent1y, II left the
room and he just did it."
Albert beamed his, delight.
what could / do7" she smiled.
Then in a whisper, "Cute?"
eyes, very cuter' I thought.
ooh, my DEAR" she continued with
CLEAN of pride in her eyes, "he's a
terror! The other day Grandma Grace
brought couple of hats for me to
see. While I was looking at them AL
bert sawed two of the legs Of our ma
hogany dining-room table. And you
see that mahogany chair, he has sim
ply ruined it, yanked the whole back
out of it, somehow"
Albert edged closer to Gloria.
"But he's Mothers boy, isn't he
Bertie?"
And now Albert's mother thinks it
strange that he should write his name
on the gymnasium wall, and carve his
initials on an expensive new victrola
the teachers and parents in Albert's
school worked so hard to buy.
Sociologists say, "Give me the first
seven years of a child's life and you
may have the rest" which warns us
plainly enough that we must do our
character molding during the first
seven years.
We cannot expect children naturally
to turn into" the kind of youngsters
we desire them to be, We must guide
and mold them while their minds are
still plastic and impressionable.

PoST-MORTEM PRAISES
BY Lewis E. Thayre

I've noticed that when fellow dies,
TO matter what he's been
A sanity chap or one whose life was
darkly stepped in sin
His friends forget the bitter words
they spoke but yesterday,
F. And now they find multitude OF
pretty things to say.
I fancy when I go to rest some one
will bring to light
Some kindly word or goodly act long
buried cut of sight;
But, if it's ali the same to you just
give to me instead
The bouquets while I'm living and
the knocking when I'm dead.
Don't give your kisses to imprint up
on my marble brow,
While countless maledictions are
hurled upon me now;
Say jrst one kindly word to me while
I 1nourn here alone,
And don't save all your eulogy to
carve upon stone!
What do care if when I'm dead the
B,oomingdale Gazette
Gives me write-up with a cut ir
mourning borders set?
1t will not fatter me bit, no mat.
ter what is said,
So kindly throw your bouquets now
and knock me when I'm dead
1t may be fine, when one is dead, tc
have the folks talk so,
To have the flowers come in loads
from relatives, you know;
1t may be nice to have these things
for those you leave behind,
But just as far as I'm concerned,
really do not mind.
Tn quite alive and well today, ane
while I iinger here
Lend ME a helping hand at times
give me word of cheer,
Just change the game a little bit, jus
kindly swap the decks,
For will be no judge of flowers
when I've cashed in my checks

Bobby, the 7-year-old son of Sher-
if and Mrs. James Shepard is suf-
fering with badly lacerated face as
the result of being bitten by a dog
Sunday morning. While passing the
Sampson home with a companion the
animal began barking at them, and or
being tod that it would not bite il
they would pet it, Bobby attempted
to do so ard was bitten. Dell Weaver
who was passing heard his screams
and picking him up brought him dowr
town to the office of DR.. w. w. Brano
who dressed the wound. The animals
teeth penetrated the left side of his
face and it was necessary to take one
stitch to draw up the wound. Bobby
was in school Monday, little the
worse for his experience.

COMBATING MITCHELL
Dwight F. Davis, assistant score
tary of war and acting secretary be-
cause of the illness of John w.
Weeks, turned a deaf ear to these
demands of the angry officers.
He wisely decided the way to
combat Mitchell was not through
an immediate courtmartial. Be
Sc of popular prejudices against
army courts, that would be playing
directly into the fiery colonePs
hand.
And so Davis went to President
Coolidge with new way out of the
dilemma.
He suggested an impartial com
mission to investigate Mitchelps
charges and make thorough sur
vey of the country aviation de-
tense.
And this method is dailv proving
the ideal way of handling the Mitch
ell case.
1t enables the administration to
place before the country in a man
ner that will command attention, all
the facts pertaining to aviation. 1t
puts the administration in posi-
ton to get Re supper tof the
country in correcting whatever
faults are found in the present

FIRE DESTROYS
DUBLIN FAIR

DUBLIN, Ga, Oct. 8.-As the
result of explosion Of a moving pic
tme ilm, all buildings on the
Twelfth District Fair Grounds here
We're completely destroyed, entail
ing a loss of several thousand dol
lars The lives Of several hundred
spectators were endangered, barely
escaping the. burning buildings con
tanning exhibits.
The destroyed building housed
thousands of exhibits while large
number of automobiles were burned
Only the combined Efforts of hum
dreds Of the visitors, who pitched in
with the firemen, saved the large
livestock exhibits.
Several women, it is estimated,
barely escaped being burned to
death while they were visiting the
woman's building So quick was
the pace of the fire that flames
were envelOping the entire building
before it was realized, the flimsy
handwork on exhibit in the building
being the means Of giving the
flames greater Roadway.
The suddenness of the fire and
the quickness with which it spread
to all parts of the grounds, caused
the spectators on the grounds and
in the building to concentrate their
efforts on saving their lives and the
