Reflections
By Wm. H. Hatudtn
KNOWING GOD .
It is one thing to know about God,
luite another really to know htm. I
rhe former is a matter of informa- j
ion, the latter belongs to the realm i
>f personal experience. Far too many I
>f us simply know about him, with
>ut entering into that deeper knowl
sdge of him that is born of experi
ence alono.
We turn naturally to the Bible for
nformation about God. It is the
iteraturo which contains the history
)f his revelation of himself unto
Tiankind, chiefly thru a single race.
Hut valuable tho it undoubtedly is, |
et us not forget that it is largely in- ι
formation about God only that we
jet by reading and studying it. We
may read in the newspapers about \
;his man's generosity and that man's j
kindness; but when we apply to the \
one for money and to the other for |
counsel, and get it, then we know ι
that the information about them is !
true, and know it as a matter of ex
perience. So we may read about I
God's goodness and forgiveness and
mercy, but may not actually know
about that or any other attributed
quality of his until we apply and re
ceive.
We may also come to a better
knowledge of him thru meditating on
the evidences of his power and skill
presented by the world in which we
live, sweeping the heavens with our
telescopes, examining minute things
with our microscopes, tracing his
hand in history and literature and his
Influence in the lives of men and
vomen. Again, all this is but in
formation, such as will enable us
letter to appreciate him; but until
.ve can in our own lives see where
ae has been at work, and know from
i>ersonal experience of his skill and
power, we cannot be said really to '
mow him.
What a pleasure it is to review our
lives, and to put our linger on the
point where his influence commenced
to show itself, altho at the time ,
without our being conscious thereof.
Frequently we may live for several
years without being conscious of his
guidance in some particular matter,
something which becomes very evi
dent In the light of later experiences.
Then we may turn to the Bible, and 1
therein read how he dealt with men
and women of former generations,
thus gaining a light on our own ex
periences therefrom, and also gain
ing an added insight into its meaning
out of our own experiences. Then
we are able better to enter into the
spirit of the praise and thanksgiving
of these men of a bygone day, em
ploying their beautiful and expres
sive language and making It our very
own.
Thus in communion and prayer
we enter into that larger knowledge
of him, in the spirit coming to know
him better than ever before. In which
the prayer will not be bo much our
talking to him and asking for what
we may need, of which he knows be
fore we ask, but a sitting quietly be
fore him and listening as he talks to
us, that our thoughts may become his
artd our ways also become as he wills.

RAILROAD NOTES
—A new demurrage tariff became
operative on the New York and Long
Branch railroad. Instead of the flat
rote of $1 a day the new rate for In
terstate cars is $1 for the first day,
$2 the second day, $3 the third day,
$5 the fourth and every succeeding
day until the car' is released. The gen
eral tariff is the same, $1 per day for
"state" care. The change in the tar
iff is due entirely to a scarcity of cars.
—A woman railroad president is in
prospect in Mississippi. Miss Grace
Jonrs, one of the prettiebt and
wealthiest young women in the state,
is slated for the presidency of the
Gulf and Ship Island railway to suc
ceed her father, who died recently.
The directors of the railroad will
meet at Buffalo, Miss., very soon and
are expected to name Miss Jones as
president.

Pigs That Were Pig's
Albert Bigelow Paine, whose "Hol
low Tree Nights and Days" has just
been published, tells how he came to
secure an illustrator for his first book
of Hollow Tree stories who was able
to enter so thoroughly into the spirit
of his invention. When he was writ
ing these stories for the children's
page of a Sunday newspaper he asked
for an artist who could draw animals.
Mr. Conde was sent to talk the matter
over with him. "Can you draw ani
mals?" asked Mr. Paine, "funny
animals?" and the artist said that he
had drawn them now and then; but
Mr. Paine did not feel hopeful about
his ability. "I want to becin with
some pigs," he continued, "funny lit
tle pigs dressed up, and I think I'll
go out and buy a picture-book to
give you something to go.by." So he
went out and purchased an illustrât- :
ed copy of the immortal "This Little
Pig Went to the Market" and gave it
to »Mr. Conde. In a short time the |
latter came back with a number of |
drawings of little pigs, perfect in line I
and spirit, far exceeding in humor ι
anything the pig book could furnish, ;
"I guess we don't need this book any i
more," said Mr. Paine, who had dis- j
covered that the one thing in the |
wçrld that the modest illustrator
! knew thoroughly was animals, their
I looks and their moods.

Tlic Books Boys Like Best.
"Give me a highwayman, and I waa
full to the brim; a Jacobite would do,
but the highwayman was my favorite
dish. I can still hear the merry clat
ter of hoofs along the moonlit lane;
night and the coming of day are still
related in my mind with the doings of
John Rann or Jerry Abershaw; and
the words 'postchaise,' the 'great
North Road,' 'ostler' and 'nag' still
sound in my ears like poetry. One and
all, at least, and each with his partic
ular fancy, we read story books in
childhood, not for eloquence or char
acter or thought, but for some qual
ity of the brute incident."—Robert
Louis Stevenson.
Heroes of Adventure
That kind of a book for a boy la
the story of adventure. Examine any
list prepared by librarians of the
books boys like best and you will
find that more than half of them are
tales of pure adventure. Why thla
abiding passion among boys in their
teens for such books?
It is not enough to say, because
boys love action, for that is only stat
ing the problem in another way.
Why this love of action? Because
the boy himself is growing, expand
ing. developing; now "stirs the blood
to bubble in the veins." Nature la
creating individuality in the boy.
From this time forward she intende
that he shall count for one, and togr
many means is ρ uHm^T"
most hurling him forward toward
the goal. .
In this development, this cïïrnge
from youth into potential manhood,
imagination plays a most important
part. And in quickening and con
serving imagination, nothing is more
helpful than these tales of adven
ture that "bid the boy to hope, to fill
his heart with visions fair." Imagin
ation quickened by the adventure
story tells him he, too, is numbered
among those—
"Inheritors of miehty things who
own a lineage high."
IF you've got a lite insurance policy you're going to
dig and deny yourself a lot of things rather than
drop it. It's the same with a bank account—only
more so.
You may be satisfied with the size of the
policy-you'll sure not be with the size ol the bank
account.
