Uncle Dat
When I WAS a boy there used to
be a story la one of joy readers that
told of a wan who went a lons "'-y
fron) borne to look at a piece of land
no had bought. ' In order to get a bet
ter view of thc place than be could
from tho ground, he climbed to tho
top ot a stub of a tree. When he
reached the top be found that thc stub
was hollow. His foothold giving way,
he fell Inside, clear to the bottom. He
must have had some Interesting
thoughts on th way down, but theso
wore as nothing compared to his feel
bags when be found a bear lying
curled up down there. The man's sud
den appearance frightoned the bear
terribly and with a grand lunge he
sprang up and started for the top.
"Now is my chance'" thought the
man. and he grabbed the bear by the
whiskers on thc sides of his hams
as be bounded out of the hollow, and
the animal quickly whisked him out
of his desperate position. I have al
ways bad a great deal of respect
for that man. He saw his chance and
made a ??ve for it The result was
ail he had a reason to expect. If he
had stopped to figuro it out, whether
the bear would bo strong enough to
pull such a weight out of thut hole,
or whether he would turn about and
eat him up alive or not, probably
there never would have been a mau
left to tell this story. But he just
grappled with his opportunity and lot
thc speculation go till the next day
That was sensible. Millions of men ic
our day are sitting down in the bottom
of holes that arc darker than that old
hollow stub, philosophizing what the
bear will do and when be will do lt,
and all the time the bear ls fairly
bounding toward tho top, leaving them
there alone with their speculations.
A good many of us wear rifo away
sharpening our razors and getting
ready to shave. In the meantime the
whiskers are getting fiercer and long
er. It will hurt like Sam Hill to take
them off when we'get around to it,
and ?then we will make a bad Job of
ft" If you and I ever get much that
is worth getting in this world we
will have to get it for ourselves. The
world ls too busy with its own chores
to come over and do ours for us. Sc
what is the use of waiting for the
other fellow to pick tho peaches foi
us? Grab and grab today, must be the
word.
Simply because thc peaches on our
tree-do not seem to be swimming In
sugar and cream, let us not sit by and
wail until they are. The chances are
that we.will never see the day when
wo will not- have to pick the peaches
drat and look out for the cream and
sugar afterward. : Nature, liken to do
things-in her own way, and wo must
I acknowledge her supremacy In such
things. ....,.'

immortal and watihless hymns- of thc
Bible, Which have *een sung In far- 1

His word to sing praise unto Him.
The singing of praise honors God. Thc
man who has been blessed cannot re
frain from praising God. Toe sing
praise relieves the soul In time ot sad
ness. Sacred songs have been the
stairways upon which many a mun ?
has climbed from the depths of sad
ness to tho heights of spiritual Joy.
Sluging strengthens the life conflict
Many a man has bra-cd himself for

CHARLOTTE, N. C., Feb. 18.-Clos
ing its three days biennial session in
tate city tonight the laymen's mis-1
sionary convention ot the Southern I
Presbyterian Church east or the Mis
Sisalppt left the matter of date and
placo of next meeting with the execu
tive committee. Features of the final
session were address?? by Rev. . Dr.

cretary pt the laymen's movement. I
Now York. "Leaving Yohr Mark on |
the World."
The chief subject remar>-7d upon by
delegates ami officiais has been thc site
of the convention, which, although the
Southern Presbyterian church has
been divided into west and east ot the
Mississippi sections, it has been at
tended by over 3,000 delegates, making
lt double thc ?Ixe of any previous con
vention, j

?e's Letter
Many a man hun driven away evil by
a rong. Singing gives the gospel to]
ethers. Many a heart, untroubled by j
tho sermon, has been broken by a
song. Singing tits us for iieaven.
There preaching will not be needed;
there the ?ucramentH will have no I
place; but there praiso will be un-]
ceasing.
A word of cheer!
Tho world loves a man
Who can look In the face of disaster
And cry, "I hope."
I
A word of Joy !
The need ls great today
For those who can meet this world's
sorrows
With a cry of "Hope."
lt Is not economy to go without the
Intelligencer. It may bc tho moBt
extravagant thing you possibly do.
If Adam couldn't get along peaceful
j in one little garden, how can the man
who fences the world in ever hope to
j be happy?
The Intelligencer Is a paper of high
I Ideals and a consistent record.
More sugar and flour for $1 and
? fewer free garden seeds ls what thc
j people want, Mr. Congressman.
To be a good farmer, a good man, a
! good neighbor and a good friend In to
! be, truly successful. Tbo world
? means BO greater' success than that.
May we all attain it!

No wonder Shakespeare exclaims,
"What's in a name?" whee Christian
County, Kentucky, goes wet.
If all the law books in the country j
were burned IQ a single night, wc
would have better laws in ten years
than we have at present time. If at
torneys-based their arguments more
upon an Innate sense of natural jus
tice, vominnu t*nse and fair Play, in
stead or fortifying themselves with
decisions of other courts. I believe
wo would get. better results. Law
yers rely toa much upon precedent
and not enough on common sense.
We are weaving' character every
day, anti the way' to weave the best
character ls to bc'kind"ind to bc
useful. It is what we think and what
we do that make us what we are.

If a thing is worth doing at all. it is
worth doing well. Did this thought
over come to'you? What I? the use
of doing anything, if all we do ends in
nothing of worth? It were better lo
have rested and not labored. We are
placet' in this lire to work und to do.
Let us then do everything well. Ac
complish something. Aim high and
build, not ou tim sand of uncertainty,
but on the rock of sureness and last

a reputation, which will last long, af

The feature of thc morning session ?
was the address on "Efficiency" by
George C. Shane, of Philadelphia in
which the speaker contrasted the
practical methods of business with
those of church work, giving as an
instance a Philadelphia financier who
in a few minutes bought five boats
for $287.000 and borrowed $300,000
with which to pay for them, but bad
