portunity to see the works OF the
Lord" They observe many things
which the landsman has never seen.
From that little circumscribed world,
the vessels deck, the blue water sea-
man looks out upon that vast sur
rounding expanse of heaving restless
waters that constantly speaks to him,
both day and night, concerning God.
There is something about the un-
broken glistening expanse of such
wide encircling water, there is some
thing about the colorful splendor of
the golden sunset as the great red
disk slowly sinks beneath the sea,
there is something about the majestic
glory of silent starlight night,
sparkling with the diamonds that God
has thrown into the dark sky that
proclaims to the deepwaterman the
works of the Lord"
There is something about the awful
stiffness of the CLASSY sea when it
lies becalmed day after day, there is
something about those rumbling
threatening black clouds as they come
rolling up from the horizon, there is
something about the shrieking of the
wind, the roar of the waters, the ter
rifying might of sea aroused to an
ger that speaks to the sailor-heart
and says: "Behold the glorious majes-
tic power of God"
/ How true indeed are the words of
Herbert, the English poet of the six
teenth century when he declared: "He
that will learn to pray, let him go to

APPRECIATION

The Democrat has come again, well

Bringing breath of home that cheers
And this know, watch it grow,
It's better with the years.
Perhaps some day wandering scribe
May start a competition,
He'll not improve, and straightway
move,
After his first edition.
This is not thought of mine alone but

Who spend their time and cash at that
In honest quest to get the best
They take the Democrat.
