KANSAS Men Like Them Would Draw Color Line in Heaven and Hell, If They Could — Other News from J. O. Wheeling, West Virginia. This is one more moving world, and it seems that I am moving with it, for just when I sit down to write to you last week I was in Chicago, and just a few hours before that I was homoligating in Kansas City, and right in the office of the editor of The Advocate, and just look where I am now. They say I am one of the more ridingest men in this country, for before you can read the first line of this letter I will be way down in Texas. I have never been in this town before and I am certainly having a good time. Reaching here the Rev. S. A. Davenport, BTh., pastor of the Macedonia Baptist church met me at the Baltimore & Ohio railroad stable in his automobile car carriage and toted me right over to his home and told me to be at home as long as I desired to stay, but that was short, of course, for I must be about my editor's business, getting information to give you. Rev. Davenport is a young man. It strikes me that he came into this world via Prince Edward County, Virginia, and decided it was a good world. He landed about 25 miles from the place where General Lee handed his sword over to General Grant and acknowledged that he was whipped and that he was unwilling to fight a lost cause any longer. I was right there and have told you about it before. But now about this young man, found his way to the public school of Darlington Heights Va., and from there he went to the Virginia Theological Seminary and college, remaining there just eight years finishing there, he finished also the Theological course at the same school under President R. C. Woods, and stepped out into practical life. He was called to take charge of a Baptist church in McKeysport, Pa., where he was then 27 years old, and the about to do good work. The indebtedness of the church was much larger than he was, for it was over $7,000. In two years the debt was paid, and one thousand dollars worth of improvements had been made on the property and building. For in consideration of the service this young man rendered the congregation got together, planked down the money and presented him with an automobile costing one thousand dollars. Finishing this great work he heard a call from the Macedonia Baptist church at Wheeling and came over to answer it. It needed a man, for they had only 60 members and no where to go to worship, their building having been destroyed by fire. Since being here, they have purchased a lot costing four thousand dollars, paid for it and put in $15,000 improvements, paying for them and now they are getting ready to erect a building to cost $30,000, and the people believe in their leader. The membership has jumped from 60 to 500 USE HUTCH-O NON-ALCOHOLIC EXTRACTS EXTRA STRONG which will not Bake or Freeze Out ABSOLUTELY PURE Ask your grocervman for HUTCH-O If he doesn't hardle it send us his name Hutch-O Food Pro. Co. Kansas City, Mo. - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 AND THE COLORED BOYS WERE THERE Just as, when they went over the top, so were the boys in line, in the Legion parade. They made a respectabe showing as they proudly marched in the great parade. We understand they are to do themselves grander still, in the celebration of Armistice Day. And let us all hope that they will as well also, that all the civic and fraternal bodies and orders will turn out largely and help us make the day all it should be. For indeed the idea of disarmament, for which we shall on that day stand, is quite as important as that which we have just celebrated. And we do hereby most urgently request that every member of Hardy Harpole Post, as well also, every ex-service man, who has not yet joined, will meet on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 6, at 2:30, at Thatcher's undertaking rooms, on North Fifth street, to make final arrangements for this great and most worthy event. I. F. BRADLEY, Adjutant. in nearly three years and in the bank is to be found over six thousand dollars to the credit of the church on the building fund, and more is being added every week. That's going some. This is what it means to have a trained man. Now I am here in this city, and I am here on the invitation of Miss Alma R. Lightfoot, who is one of the public school teachers, and a worker in the Y. W. C. A. I shall not be able to tell you much about them this time, but will do so in my next letter. This is one of the cities that I have not been in before, and I find from observation that it is worth while, but I am not going to talk about it now, because I want to tell you that Pesident Warren G. Harding has been going some, and I want to congratulate him on his speech. What President Harding has said, is what is true, and the position that all sane Americans should take, but it has given the belly ache, the tooth ache, the heart ache and all other kinds of aches to a few of them moss backs in the United States Senate from Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and some other God forsaken place. Men who would like to keep a man of my race out of Heaven and then keep them out of hell unless they would be allowed to draw the color line, but his satanic majesty is too wise for that. He will take them as they come, and assign them according to arrival. I would just like to be chief fireman in Hades when some of them Negro haters arrived, and I wouldoke the hot irons in them for one time. I would just like to be boss in that clime long enough to teach them a few lessons down there that they should have learned up here. But let me not get wicked, let me not forget God. To God I commend all of those who are now abusing President Harding and I am sure He will take care of them. I am a citizen of of the United States, and when we were getting it and it seemed that the Huns were going to give us a heliva time, it was then that all the south wanted us to join in and help to protect our flag. I could not go myself, but my money went. I want to get into the fight myself, and I was willing to bare my breast for Old Glory, and this is what I am willing to do at all times. They wanted us to buy and we did buy stamps. bonds, contributed to the Red Cross, and every other cause which meant winning the war. We were willing to make a charge on hides itself to protect OUR FLAG. We have always been willing to enjoy some of the things for which our fathers, sons and brothers died.

The services were beautiful and the choir music was inspiring to the soul. The congregation was given a spiritual treat from the pulpit, by one of our former young men of the city, Rev. A. H. Hamilton, now pastoring at Horton-Sabetha, Kansas, while only being in the ministry two years, his power in the pulpit as a Gospel minister, serves his hearers with strong and wholesome spiritual food.

HUTCH-O EXTRACTS It is said by users of Hutch-O Extracts, who only make the vanilla and lemon extracts, to be the purest and strongest that can be found on the market. It is said the demand is so great for the Hutch-O extracts, the company is compelled to limit the sales to their great mass of customers. The price, also, is below other manufacturers. There is hardly a store, large or small, but what handles Hutch-O extracts. It is non-alcoholic. The Way of Wickedness. How these lives of ours are knit up with many other lives, and no sin is committed but that it brings suffering and tears to some loving heart. It is true, indeed, that no man liveth unto himself, and no man dieth unto himself, and no man sinneth unto himself. We are laying in store heavy sorrows for those who love us best when we go deliberately the way of wickedness. If fathers and sons could in advance exercise a bit of moral imagination as to the effect of wrongdoing on each other, it would save them from much sorrow and remorse in years to come.

Foster, defendant, No. 16143-A. To the defendant, Jaues W. Foster, Greeting: Said defendant, James W. Foster, will take notice that he has been sued for a divorce, in the above entitled court and action, by said plaintiff, Etta Foster, on the grounds of gross neglect of duty, and extreme cruelty as disclosed by the facts alleged in plaintiff's petition on file in said action, and that he must answer said petition on or before the 2nd day of December, A. D. 1921, or said petition and the allegations thereof, will be taken as true and a judgment or decree for plaintiff, adjudging and decreeing a divorce to her from you, upon the above mentioned grounds, will be rendered in said action accordingly. ETTA FOSTER. Attorney for Plaintiff. Attest: R. J. McFarland, Clerk of the District Court, by H.E. Meade, Deputy. First published Oct. 21, 1921) DIAMOND HAS MANY VIRTUES But According to Superstition the Gem Must Be a Gift to Person Who Wears It. According to superstition (and to fact also), the owner of a diamond is lucky, indeed. The diamond should be worn upon the left side, for it is of greater virtue there, for the strength of its growing is toward the North, that is the left side of the world, and the left part of a man when he turneth his face toward the East. He who carries a diamond will have strength and manhood; it will keep him from harm, especially from broken limbs. It will give him victory over all his enemies if his cause is righteous. It will keep him from strife and riots, and is a tallism against enchantments. In fact, if an enchanter tries to work a spell upon the possessor of a diamond he will find it will work upon himself instead. No wild beast will attack the diamond owner. It heals all manner of mental troubles. If poison be brought near it, the diamond will become molst and sweat. In order to be of the greatest virtue, the diamond must be given freely instead of being bought. PUT MUCH FAITH IN ACORN In England It Is Looked Upon as Protector Against Lightning, and as Love Charm. From Druidical times the acorn has been held to be a sure protection against lightning, as the tops of many flagstaffs, the end of cornice poles, umbrella tassels and blindcords still attest. Even to this day, in English rural districts, when a thunderstorm threatens, farm-laborers and others will hie them to the nearest oak tree, gather an acorn, and carry it about with them till the sky clears. In many parts of Great Britain a girl filted by her lover will seek by the light of the moon for a dried acorn beneath an oak tree. This she will burn at midnight in a candle flame, reciting meanwhile the following doggerel: "Tis not this acorn I would burn, but my true love's heart that I would turn. May he no joy nor profit see, till he comes back again to me." Welsh peasants hold that to plant an acorn brings lifelong good luck; a simple way, one would imagine, to assure one's future success. The resultant sapling, however, must on no account be transplanted. If this is done, most terrible things are bound to happen. HAD NOT BEEN ON HER MENU Scotswoman Might Reasonably Be Excused for Not Knowing How to Cook the Confetti. A traveling fair had visited the little country town, and a fete had been arranged, and a flower show, and everything pointed to a very gay day to be enjoyed by all. Farmers from far and near were expected to come into town, and much trade was expected to be done by the local tradesmen. One of the leading shopmen went to the nearest city to buy a supply of stuff to sell during the fete. His wife stayed at home to attend to the shop in his absence.

The principal feature was the excellent practical talk given by Prof. J. R. E. Lee, of Kansas City, Mo., on "Urban League Work." Many fine solos were sung. Mr. A. Saunders and Mr. Fullbright were encored. Another gentleman sang and was encored also. Little Miss Docia Young of the freshman class of Sumner High gave current events nicely. Mr. Clyde Lander who attended the Pan-American Congress talked on the African project. Next Sunday, November 6, still another fine program will be rendered, come out.

A charitable girl never gives her rival's age away. One man's weakness may be another man's opportunity It's as easy to lose money as it is difficult to make it. Some men who are short on hair are long on brains. If you can't have what you like, try to like what you have. Some men are born llars, while others acquire the art. "If" is the most unsatisfactory word in the English language. The truest test of friendship is not in words, but in actions. As the twig is bent the limb is inclined to go broke later. Honest grafters confine their operations to trees and shrubs. A dose of adversity is often as needful as a dose of medicine. Money makes the mare go and marriage makes the money go. It is easier for some men to sing a hymn than speak the truth. Bewhiskered old humbugs are more popular than barefaced lies. The person who has no will of his own has an incurable malady. The outcome of a new business enterprise depends on the income. Generally speaking, the nature of an oath is mostly human nature. The experience a man buys is seldom up to the sample submitted. A grouch has one redeeming satisfaction: He isn't imposed on. A dangerous alliment will make a man so careful that he lives to be 90. Realities of matrimony are usually less pleasing than the illusions of love. You can't convince a girl that any man she admires isn't in the hero class. A dog's bark is worse than his bite; but, unfortunately, a mosquito doesn't bark. Most people are liberal with their sympathy because it doesn't cost anything. Lawyers are so plentiful that but few criminals get a chance to plead guilty. Don't think that a man looks the right way every time his head is turned. Does one obey his own rules any better than men obey the laws of their country? When a man falls into an error he is likely to be more or less injured in his descent.

The Standard Oil company, has cut wages 10%. A young Jewish husband took his wife to the hospital for an operation. Being newly married he was much interested in the health of friend wife and inquired from time to time as to developments. Upon each inquiry he was told that friend wifey was improving. This went on for about a week and one morning upon inquiring hubby learned that wifey was dead, and in a fit of remorse exclaimed: "Oh! She died of improvements." "Twenty Froggies" was a favorite in the primary room and one day when they had finished singing "Twenty froggies grew up fast, bull frogs they became at last," Donald said, "Miss Bess, do you supose they named their baby?" "Their baby?" questioned the teacher in surprise. "Yes. The song says 'Bull frog's baby came at last.'" Concerning a leading movie scandal the ultimate word may be uttered: "Fatty degeneration of the art." "Jobless ex-service man walks city for week; wears out two pairs of shoes." These are the times that try men's soles. Headwork Did yo all say my head was solid ivory?" "Mebbe I did," replied Mr. Erastus Pinkley, "but don' yo' make no more reaches like yo' had a razor, onless you wants to get in a museum as carved ivory." Height of Laziness A fellow who gets up at 5 o'clock in the morning so that he'll have more time to loaf. Oh, for a world of equal balance. Here are some women with no husbands at all, at all, while others have husbands and assistant husbands. A Theoretical Economist "Did you ever save any money?" asked Meandering Mike.

Pat was passing a graveyard one day and read on a tombstone: "I still live." "Be jabbers," said Pat, "if I was dead sure I'd own up to it." Senator E. F. Ladd of North Dakota, Nonpartisan Leaguer, has introduced two resolutions in the United State ssenate which, if passed would cause a declaration of war by the United States against a foreign power to be held up until the people could express themselfs in a referendum, as to whether they wanted war. One of the resolutions would bind the senate not to declare war without a referendum, even before the United States Constitution could be amended to make a referendum compulsory, and the other resolution, a joint one which would have to be passed by the house as well as the senate proposes to the statés a constitutional amendment making a referendum on war compulsory, except in cases of invasion of the country when time would not permit an expression by the people. Whoever suggested that the world war veterans should have a substantial bonus and that the bonus should be paid by the war profiteers sure had his think tank sitting on the right side of his neck. It's a pretty strong man that can lift himself by yanking on his own shoe strings.

Alva Royston, pastor at Edwardsville, but a member of our church, preached to a very appreciative congregation morning and night. He sings good sensible hymns at the close of his sermons. At night some joined the church. At 2 p.m., the funeral of Mr. Banks took place and Dr.D. A. Holmes officiated, and as he belonged to the Woodmen of the World, the people crowded into the balconies. Dr. M. Williams and Dr. G. McNeal also made remarks. Mr. Banks was a very intelligent young man, and was a useful member of Metropolitan church. His father, mother and relatives have the sympathy of the members of our church. The B. Y. P. U. and Sunday school are growing weekly. The Mission Circle is doing good work and sold 200 cuts of our new pastor. The Sewing Circle had a fine meeting at Mrs. Dow's on Nebraska avenue. The hostess arranged a good program. Some special features of it were: Readings, recited by Mrs. Pickens, Miss Greer and Mrs. A. Marr. A solo, well sung by Mrs. Thomas, and an original poetical composition on "Hallow'e'en" by Mrs. M. C. Matthews, which elicited much mirth. The guests were served salad sandwiches, cocoa and cake. The choir has a new anthem, composed by a colored man. Next Sunday, November 6, Dr. Harrison, our new pastor-elect, will preach. He is here, now to remain. Mrs. U. S. Rogers, president of the Sewing Circle, has appointed committees arranging for the pastor's banquet. The church officers are arranging for a big installation in the near future. Come to Metropolitan this Sunday, November 6, and always if you wish. Hear Dr. Harrison, the Apostle Paul of our day. Come join our friendly church, corner of Ninth street and Washington boulevard. Capt. J. D. Jones of Wichita, Kansas, who saw overseas service, made a call at the editor's home while attending --the American Legion here this week. A positive assertion may silence argument even if it doesn't convince. Kutydid foretells frost and "You did" and "I didn't" foretell a domestic one. There is as much guesswork about the origin of fires as there is about Mars. Why does a boy dislike a cat? Because of the tricky way a cat treats a mouse. Even constant doing good won't make one happy if he doesn't want to do good. To yourself be true, is a threadbare old maxim; but one can't and talk all the time. It is sometimes quite a job to convince people that one is not as cross as one looks. Where are the palms of yesteryear? Only shifted—but we ought to be thankful for that. Are you looking forward to the next election to punish someone or to reward someone? Be careful of your thoughts, for they are liable to break out into words or deeds at any time. The woman who always tells the truth tells about nine unpleasant ones out of a possible ten. A thrifty wife saves her pocket money by taking her husband along when she goes shopping. The/ world yet seeks a man. It is easier to be anything else in all the world than to be a man. Husbands and wives should never lead a cat-and-dog life. The odds are 9 to 1 in favor of the cat. If a young man can't decide what kind of work he wants to do, circumstances will decide for him. EAGLE EASILY KING IN AIR Has No Trouble in Distancing Airplane Traveling at Speed of Sixty Miles an Hour. The eagle, according to aeronautists, is not merely the king of birds, but in flying quality the swiftest of all birds. A French "flyer" from the French naval station at Salonica in February, 1916, had a match with an eagle near Mount Olympus. The eagle competed of his free will. "I was followed by the eagle," writes Commander Larrowy, "at a distance of about one hundred feet. Our machine was making her full measured sixty nautical miles an hour. In comparison with us the bird seemed so perfectly at a standstill that I was able to photograph it with an exposure of a half second, as the sky was cloudy, and the plane gave an absolutely neat reproduction. For two minutes the bird practically did not move its wings, and seemed to glide, except every ten or twelve seconds, when it made a very slight and careless sort of rowing motion as if to keep fit. When the bird abandoned all thought of attacking its strange rival it went full speed ahead, and covering much more than sixty miles an hour soon disappeared." Too Low an Estimate The musical director in a local theater has a superlative dislike for a certain popular song. Recently the composer of the song appeared at the theater. Of course the orchestra had to play his song, and by the latter part of the week the director was almost desperate. One evening, before the show, the composer was telling everybody how it happened. "And, do you know," he concluded. "I was clected out of all the profits on my own song. I received only $500 all told." "And you wouldn't be bribed into keeping the song quiet for that small amount, would you?" put in the orchestra director.—Kansas City Star. Unhappy Boy. The door closed behind an irate neighbor who had come to complain regarding certain of Willie's shortcomings. A few moments later, as Willie was tearfully preparing for a prematurely early bedtime, he said to his mother: "I wish we lived in heaven mother." His mother demanded to know the cause of his sudden aspiration towards better things. "Oh. well," he sighed, "you know the angels wouldn't be half as hard to please as the neighbors are." Fine Old Relic. Pauline, during her first five years had heard grandmother talk much of the reliies, that she pointed to with pride. Ike was a horse that had been owned by the grandparents for years and one day Pauline stood watching the animal cropping grass in the pasture with the wind tossing his mane. After several minutes she turned to her mother. "Mother, isn't he the prettiest old thing? Won't he make a fine old relic?" Inefficacy of Prayer. "Deacon Frisber is a hard man to deal with on-week days, but he prays as loud as anybody on Sunday." "Yes," said Squire Witherbee. "For twenty years I've been hearln' the deacon ask the Lord to make him a better man, but I'm afraid the Lord ain't makin' much progress."—Birmingham Age-Herald. Gone for Good. "No,7," said the great magician, rolling up his sleeves to show that he had no concealed mechanism to deceive the eyes, "I shall attempt my never-failing experiment." Taking from his pocket a half dollar he, said, "I shall cause this coin to disappear utterly." So saying he loaned it to a friend.

GOLDEN TEXT-Herelin do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense toward God and man.-Acts 24:16. REFERENCE MATERIAL-Luke 12:4-12. PRIMARY TOPIC—Why Paul Was Not Afraid. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Secret of Paul's Courage. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Defense Before a Roman Governor. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Paul's Defense Before Felx. 1. Paul Accused (vv. 1-9) Tertullus, perhaps a Roman barrister, formally made the accusation according to Roman law. He began with flattery. He gave Felx the fullest praise when he and all the people knew that he lied; for Felx was one of the worst governors—destitute of morals and justice. He brought a four-fold charge against Paul: 1. "A pestilent fellow" (v. 5). This would indicate a fellow utterly base and corrupt—a plague. 2. An inciter of rebellion, a mover of sedition (v. 5). This they hoped would bring him into conflict with the Roman power. 3. That he was the ringleader of a sect—a schismatical party—a heretic (v. 5). 4. That he had profaned the temple (v. 6). 11. Paul's Defense (vv. 10-21). In this defense note: 1. Paul's frankness and courtesy (v. 10). Flattery is entirely wanting. He gives recognition of the fact that Felix had been ruler of this people long enough to be able to judge justly, as the habits and ways of the Jews were familiar to him; and then, in a dignified manner, assumes that Felix will render a just decision based upon the facts of the case. 2. The charge of sedition denied (vv. 11, 12). He flatly and scornfully denied this charge, showing its utter falsity, since the time was too short, being but twelve days since he went to Jerusalem, and half of that time had been spent as a prisoner of the Romans. His conduct while there disproved it—he disputed with no man in the temple; neither did he make any attempt to incite the people in the city nor in the synagogue. 3. The charge of heresy (vv. 14-16). This charge he met by a concession and a denial. He admitted that he was of the "Way" which they called heresy, but clearly showed that it was in keeping with the Hebrew religion: (1) he worshiped the same God (v. 14); (2) he fully believed in the same Scriptures (v. 14); (3) he had the same hope of a coming resurrection of the dead (v. 15). He declared that he made as the principle of life a conscience void of offense before God and man. 4. The charge of sacrilege, or profanation of the temple (vv. 17-21). This charge he refuted by showing (1) that he had come all the way from Greece (v. 17) to worship at the feast; (2) that he had not come up empty-handed, but had brought alms for his nation (v. 17); (3) that there were not competent witnesses present to testify as to his behavior in the temple (v. 19); by challenging his enemies to testify as to his conduct in the council (v. 20). III. Paul Before Felix the Second Time (vv. 22-27). This is a sort of a sequel to the trial. Wicked as Felx was, Paul's manner somewhat won his favor, though he did not release him. His sentence was indulgent imprisonment, which kept him free from his enemies while under Roman protection. Felx sent for Paul that he might hear of Christ from him. Paul behaved himself aright before these sinners in high life. He reasoned of righteousness, self-control and judgment to come, before Felx and his sinful wife, with such power that Felx was terrified and declared that he would hear Paul further at a convenient time. This was a most filmsy excuse for not changing his life and granting justice to Paul. He was so in bondage to sin that he was unwilling to change. Also he hoped that by delaying matters he would receive a bribe. The Lord Changeth Not. And I will come near to you to judgment; I will be a swift witness against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of Hosts. For I am the Lord; I change not—Malachi 3:5, 6. ORDERS SOLICITED FANCY GROCERIES 1317 N. 10th St., K. C., K. Call us at any time. LESSON TEXT-Acts 24:1-27. 1. Paul Accused (yy. 1-9) In this defense note: By REV. H. OSTROM, D. D. Extension Department, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. TEXT.—Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying. This is the way.—Isa. 30:20. Our heaven or our hell hang upon the words "I come" or "I go." It is a question of heeding the call to turn about and come in the right direction. Headed in the wrong direction, Judah may yet hope in God's call to the right paths. Like them of that day, we also may hear His call. question of heeding the call to turn about and come in the right direction. Headed in the wrong direction. Judah may yet hope in God's call to the right paths. Like them of that day, we also may hear His call. The call precedes the turning about. It is while the back is toward God that the call is given. We talk much about seeking God, let us realize that God seeks us. When the face is toward hell, then, the voice that would call us back, the only voice that could successfully call us back, is His voice. That "Come back" of God's is our busil for hope. The Great Supper in the parable is a supper ready, the call to partake is given and the only hindrance is man's make-shift of excuses. God's preparedness is everywhere apparent. Would He create the fish to swim? Then, water is made beforehand. He seems to say, "The water is ready, now let the fish disport himself in it." Would He create the cow? Then, grass is ready beforehand, as if He had said, "The pasture is prepared, now eat and live." But did He create us? Did He give us to live on the earth? Then, long beforehand the provision for our salvation was made, the Gospel call was given; and by many instruments in His hand He has sought us to save us. Think of the-prayers uttered while we were listening, from the time of earlest memory. Think of sermons and hymns and Scripture announced to our infant ears. And since the days of our responsibility what calling has been given. Come back, come back! It has sounded over our devious paths during the self-will of youth, and it is still sounding. But to hear it! Natural deafness is afflictive, but when a man stops his ears by use of the tangles of a perverse will, that is abusive. One may have an open ear to the voice of appetite or of passion, or to the temptations of the devil, with a closed ear to God. Like one who might hear all confusing sounds but who never hears music, he misses the voice of mercy calling him to pardon and peace. O, listen! Listen to God! Because the call of God is from behind, sinful man must turn about. Facing toward ruin you must turn toward God. Think what you travel toward. All that Godlessness can do now and in eternity is before or within the man who runs away from God. Pictures of darkness and storm may describe the present life of such, but who can imagine the "blackness of darkness forever" and the storm of "indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish" in that eternity to which he hastens? Think too, to what the soul travels who hears the call of God from behind him and accepts salvation in the Blood of Christ. He turns to Him who offers him ten thousand welcomes. He comes to receive the gift of "Newness of Life." It is abundant life. It is abundant with all that endures. The joy of the Lord is there and the being kept by God's power is in it. Before him is everlasting glory, and glory with honor. His face is toward home. We can determine which way we are going by the direction of the call. And, sure it is, that our answer to the call, when it is "I am going," is hellward: when it is, "I am coming," then it is heavenward. The wayward goings of the many years may end in a moment with the soul's resolve—"I come." Preparation of the Gospel Peace. Fears flourish in mean communions. And so it is with worries, which are the prolific children of fear. They all grow fat and strong when life is lived in small and confined circles, and is bereft of air and vision. Foul things breed in closed rooms. There is something very fusty, something strongly inclining to sickliness and fainting in a chamber which never receives cleansing, vitalizing visits from the air of larger worlds. And so it is with the soul. The spirit grows faint and timid when we have no communion with the breath of God. But when we face our perils in communion with the Lord our timidities are transformed, our uncertainties vanish, and our slipping feet are steadied by being shod with "the preparation of the gospel of peace."
