made man living soul"
A living soul-that is the sstar"
which in a mystic mingling" with {.
the ''clod" makes a man, a man
whose far vision and wide horizons
of hope and faith lift him high and
close to God Himself. A living soul
who can sound the depths of
meaning that lie in these wordsl
For a few moments now let us
go back to the "clod" and join DIR.
Goodell as he makes a startling
computation of the chemical con-
tent of man. He states that the
average mans body contains fat
enough to make candle weighing
fifteen pounds and phosphorus
enough to tip eight hundred thou
sand matches. Also carbon enough
for nine thousand pencils, lime
enough to mark out the pitchers
box and the home plate at the ball
ground, sugar enough to sweeten
sixty cups of coffee and iron enough
for a good-sized nail. These, with
other solids, liquids and gases, make
up the body and give us total of
material which, according to DR.. !
Goodell, can be bought in the open
market for about nine dollars. And
that is what we are worth-you and
Ito the chemist; that is our
value as a body. But, really we
are not body; we have body. We
are soul; the body is only the
house in which the soul lives. In
the soul lies the true value of a
man.
To become more fully aware of
this / ask that you go to our ma
tion's capitol and stand with me
beside the lagoon that stretches
from Washington's Monument to-
ward the Lincoln Memorial. You
look up to that great shaft of mar
BILE that rises 555 feet above the
level of the street as a symbol of
that stature of greatness which our
first president achieved Then you
look down at your own reflection
in the water of the lagoon and how
little in comparison you seem to
be! And by all human standards
you are just that small But the
judgments of God are different. In
His scale of values you are great
er than anything that man has
made. You are a soul, soul that
will live long after this monument
has crumbled into dust.
The soul-this is what makes man
more than chemical union of
gases, solids and water. 1t makes
mans life more than three score
years and ten. 1t widens his hori-
IONS into the eternal. 1t makes him
kin of God Himself.
Don't you think it is high time
that we give this soul of ours a
little more thought?

ssTAR AND CLODv
"Imperious Caesar, dead and turned
to clay.
Might stop hole TO keep the wind
away"

Speaking at the unveiling of a
monument dedicated to the memory
of Abraham Lincoln, a congress-
man from Indiana coined a striking
phrase. In an eloquent tribute to
the President he said, Abraham
Lincoln was a mystic mingling of
star and clod." This was loudly ap-
plauded. Afterwards a friend ap-
preached the speaker and repeating
the applauded phrase said, THAT
sounded very nice, but in heavens
name just what does it mean?'
Putting his arm about the ques-
toners shoulder the congressman
replied, Really, I don't know, but
it gets them every time"
Yet the meaning is quite appar-
ent. The clod? Evidentaly it is a
reference to mans mortality, that
dust to dust is the secret of his
being, that he-as Hamlet said at
Yorick's open grave-like simper-
ious Caesar, dead and turned to
clay" might at some time be used
to "stop a hole to keep the wind
away" The clod? 1t is your body
and mine, a body composed of a
mystic mingling" of many ele-
ments which we do not understand.
In illustration of this truth / offer
an illustration.
A group of young men, on a visit
to Washington, came to a cabinet
in the National Museum which car
ried this inscription: "The Body of
a Man Weighing One Hundred and
Fifty Pounds" "But where is the
MANI" inquired one of them. No
one answered, as all stared into the
glass case. Here they saw two ves-
sells containing water, side by side
with jars labelled as containing
phosphate of lime, carbonate of
lime, potassium, sodium, and other
chemicals. Near by stood jars tit
led as holding hydrogen, oxygen
and nitrogen. Appended was the
statement that in the proportions
here shown were the elements that
make up the body of an average
man, a body like yours and mine.
Profoundly moved one of the
young men said, "Is that all / am
made of? Is that all that is needed
to make me?" YES" said another
as he smiled and walked away. But
the young man did not smile. "Is
that all?" he unused aloud, $50 much

Buy Chicks On Quality
Not On Price Alone

Poultrymen buying replacement
chicks for market egg production
should select chicks on the basis
Of expected performance rather
than price. Expected performance
can be determined, to a large de-
gree, by checking the performance
test records of the various strains.
According to Ray Lloyd, associ-
ate Extension poultryman. Univer-
sity of Delaware, few extra eggs
per bird will more than Offset the
small additional cost of better
quality chicks. Poultrymen should
investigate the breeding of the
chicks to see that they have the po-
tential for laying more than 200
high quality eggs per bird per
year, as well as the ability to live
through the laying year.
Data is available for the evalu-
alton of breeds and strains offered
for sale. Perhaps the most valu-
able information comes from Ran
dom Sample laying tests. The re-
suits of these tests for individual
years, or for period of 10 years,
are available at each of the County
Agricultural Agents Offices. These
results give information on net in
come over feed costs, mortality,
number of eggs, egg size, and egg
quality.
Mr.. Lloyd suggests that if you
have had good results with the,
strain you are using, why change?
If you are not satisfied, then get
all the information you can get be-
fore ordering different strain.
You might check with friends and
neighbors using other strains, to
get their opinions and to make COM
parisons. Be careful of fancy adj
vertisements and look instead for
the results, says Mr.. Lloyd.
Remember, you are aiming for
birds that will produce more than
200 eggs a year.
