The Discipline of Hardship
In April the peach orchard lends
a faint pink Hush to the distant
hillside, and that stands for the
moralities. In September the ripe
fruit lends a golden blush of clus
tered food to the same hill. And
such is the fruit to religion. Great
is the importance of the root mor
alities, but roots and boughs im
ply the ripened fruit.
The rule of life is health, pros
perity und sunshine. But God
hath appointed wrestling, defeat
and suffering as important mem
bers of his corps of teachers.
Ours is a universe where pro
gress is secured in the fruits and
grains through chemical reactions,
Steel is iron plus fire; soil is rock
plus fire, billow and ice-plow;
statues are marble plus chisel and
hammer strokes; linen is fiax plus
the bath that racks, the club that
flails, the comb that separates, the
acid that bleaches,
Manhood is birth-gift plus strug
gles, temptation, wrestling and re
fusals to go downward and deter—
ruination to climb up ward, The
saint is a man who has been car
ried off the field on his shield,
victorious over inbred sin and out
•m '-'-aide temptation. Men who drift
are-k men who drown.—Ne'wel

The Children’s Day exercises at
the First Methodist church last
Sunday were interesting to a high
degree. Those in charge of the
program had taken special pains
with the little fellows, and were
well paid for their efforts by the
success of the happy participants
who rendered their parts well.
The pastor yielded his hour at 11
o’clock for these exercises.
It is good for these little fellows
to take part in this religions work
and identify themselves with the
cause of all causes, the moral up
building of the world.
The service was delightful from
beginning to end,
