JUST a COMMON
WEED
BY Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

1t was a hot sultry day. A wo-
man of toll, carrying a heavy bum
ole Judged along the dusty road.
She was tired and thirsty but she
kept plodding along until she came
/ to a small stand of timber along
which the road ran. A streamlet
trickled from a nearby spring.
1t was delightfully."- cool here un-
der the trees. The tired woman
stopped to rest. She bathed her
hands, and face in the cool water
of the spring. Glancing about in
casual way, she saw growing by
the roadside a single daisy.
Il wonder if that daisy feels as
lonely as do" she. mused
Plucking the flower, she threw
herself to the ground. and began to
contemplate the design and the
color scheme of the lonely daisy.
AS she continued to gaze upon it,
the features of her face began to
relax and a smile appeared.
AOfCi d was I6dl-
ly so pretty" she exclaimed. IT'S
only a weed, yet it is really beauti-
full"
Her thoughts drifted off into
wondering about God who made
the daisy. Why did He ever spend
so much thought on just a mere
weed?
She could not answer her own
question.
And then she began to think of
herself. She compared her life
with the lives of others upon whom
the fortunes of life had smiled.
She thought of herself as only a
weed. But perhaps" she exclaim-
ed, aloud. inspired by the thought,
Perhaps God intended me to be a
beautiful weedi"

This makes 1000 pounds of the

be made if the proportions are
maintained. This ration should be
fed with a grain mixture of half
whole or cracked yellow corn and
half whole wheat in the proportion
of one part grain mixture to three
parts of the mash. The mash
should be kept before the birds at
all times and the grain fed in the
hoppers on top of the mash twice
day, about one fourth in the

Tips
Blechnan

The word tip originated from the
first letter in each of the following
words: to insure promptness. It's
meaning has changed because it
usually is used today to repay a
person for his services. However
it is used for other purposes such
as to bribe waiter by letting him
see you put fifty cents under the
plate, which you replace later with
a nickle. Tips are often used to
make others, usually your girl,
think that you are rolling in
money" but this coin too is remov-
ed and often not replaced. The
real trouble comes in when you
find that all the change you have
is a nickle and a half dollar. You
don't want her to think you are
cheap SO you put the nickle into
your pocket and after a little con-
sideration it is followed by the
half dollar.

A Dog Made to Order

Many years ago, in small sec
ton of Germany, badger hunting
was the favorite sport Of the ma
tives of that district. The most
common way and by far the most
sporty was by hunting with dogs.
But, as in all other instances,
there was a set back. The barger
is an animal much like mole only
very much larger, and similar to
the mole, takes to the ground as
place of refuge. Upon being
chased by the hounds, the badger
would take to its hole in the
ground, whereupon the dogs would
start digging for it.
This is where their main diff
Guilty comes in. The Shipperke,
the natives best badger hunting
dog, was tall and stout, and al
though this breed was of very
strong and muscular dogs, they
were not adapted to digging in the
ground. Therefore, the natives
were confronted with the problem
of getting a dog which would be
adapted to both running and dig
ging and also be muscular and
tough to withstand the aggression
of the badger when disturbed un-
derground.
In answer to this problem, they
crossed a Shipperke with a Ger
man terrier, stubby-legged dog
with a very ferocious temper. AS
a result, they got black stubby-
legged dog with a short tail and
violent temper, which they named
the Dachshunde. Today, this is one
of the most loved of American
pets, very unlike his vociferous an
cestors.

Let's Make Speeches!

In the November issue of the
Rotarian, Dale Carnegie gave a
surprisingly interesting discussion
of effective public speaking. Some
one had come to him with several
perplexing questions, after having
been invited to speak in public.
Shall L accept the invitation 2"
by all meansl Take the op-
portunity, make the opportunity to
speak before an audience, for there
lies a sure road to leadership"
But I never spoke in public be-
fore. I'm afraid 1 might faint"
'But you won't. In the last
twenty-four years I have watched
ten thousand young business men
and women speak before an audi
ence. Only one tainted, so there
is little chance for you. Emerson
has said DO the thing you fear to
do, and the death of fear is GER
tain' Thing about that"
What shall talk about p
Talk about anything that inter
ests you. But whatever you do
don't look in an encyclopaedia for a
topic. Dig it from your own ex-
perience. Choose a topic upon
which you are better informed than
your audience"
How shall prepare it.?".
IF you are looking up material
study every bit of data you get.
Have the ideas well in mind before
you plan your speech. A success
frl formula is: show that some
thing is wrong, give remedy for
it, make pleas to your audience
which will move them to action"
Shall I memorize my speech ?"
Emphatically, no! You cannot
be eager, enthusiastic, sincere
about something that has been
memorized."
How long shall / talk ?"
Let me remind you that Lincoln
made one of the greatest speeches
ever made, in five minutes-The
Gettysberg Address. Don't make
yours more than ten at the most" +"
Shall use gestures
Suit yourself. However, use
them only to arouse your feelings
to such an intensity that you will
gain something. Do not use your
hands to influence your audience" I"
! enjoyed Mr.. Carnegie's article
very much. His main IDEAS seem
to have been: accept every oppor-
tunity to speak in public; speak on
a topic you understand well; pre-
pare your topic so that your deliv-
cry will be sincere, spontaneous;
do whatever you want with your
hands, but forget them-forget
everything but the ideas to be
gotten across" to your audience.
