TEE SULPHUR SPRINGS GAZETTE, DECEMBER 24, 1909
Give and Be Happy
An excellent sermon, with a gen*
nine, timely, seasonable, human in*
terest moral, is contained in a criticism
by the Rev. O. N. Broadhurst of Ma-
con, upon a recent statement by a
professor of economics at the State
University that Christmas giving puts
an undue burden upon society and is
a bad and wasteful custom.
• * i
A full report of the criticism will
appear in tomorrow’s Sunday Post-
Dispatch. We refer to it now only
because of its pertinence and its time-
liness to the close of the last week be-
fore Chrismas.
“The giving of presents,” said Mr.
Broadhurst, “is a commendable cus-
tom. To some of us Christmas may
entail sacrifice, but it is a sacrifice
which brings joy, as do all sacrifices
for others. We may from a scanty
pocketbook give to a poor family, or
to the feeble in mind or in body, or to
the hard-up workingman, more than
we can afford; but it carries no pang
with it.” Following along the lines
of that argument and making an ap-
peal to the abiding sentiments and
sympathies of men and women whose
hearts have a genuine humanity, he
said:
“Who wants to save his bank ac-
count at the expense of bright faces
and happy hearts? Unloose the purse
strings; let the ducats pour out. Get
busy; hunt up somebody to make
happy.” .
That is a doctrine the Post-Dispatch
not only commends and indorses, bat
preaches and practices. It is even
now arranging, with the aid of help-
ful committees, to provide its annual
Christmas cheer for the children of
the poor, for the shut-in poor and for
the homeless. To the fund for pro-
viding that cheer all are invited to
contribute. Be it a dollar or be it a
dime, every contribution will carry
the joy of Christmas to someone who
Without it might be forlon. Unloose
your purse strings. Give ahd be hap-
py.—St. Louis Post Dispatch.

The World’s Record. v
In “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”
Puck offers to “put a girdle around
the earth in forty minutes.” Now this
miraculoas performance, conceived in
fancy and never expected to get be-
yond the bounds of fiction, is to be
done, in just one-sixtieth of the time
named as the limit of fairy power.
The fact is that prosaic science in the
twentieth oentury is beating the sup-
ernatural of earlier ages at its own
game. The human mind offers noth-
ing so improbable as the actual occur-
rences of modern times.
A tour de force Is to be attempted—
and undoubtedly with success—to
celebrate the completion of the new
Pacific cable by sending a message
around the globe in forty seconds.
When Job asked if the lightning
could be sent to give him answer he
little could have dreamed that science
would some day train the lightning to
flash the answer “yes” around the
earth in less time than he took to put
the question.
And this, message around the earth
in forty seconds is not the end by any
means. We may think it wonderful,
bat in reality it is a erode perform-
ance. It should not take forty
seconds to send word aronnd the
earth. An electrical impulse will
make the oirenit several times in a
single second. So there is much re-
maining for min to do. He most more
effectually get himself out of the way.
The delay in getting this message
over the 25,000 miles of its transit is
caused by the necessity of repetition.
It will have to be picked off of the
cables and forwarded over land lines,
and vice versa, several times. The
human element with its blundering
and slowness still enters intothe prob-
lem. Man must still farther efface
himself and leave the forces free to
act unhindered before it can be in-
stantaneous transmission.
Intelligence is a marvelous thing
but it is not the most marvelous. The
forces of nature, of which human in-
telligence is but the groom and driver
are far more marvelous. They never
blander nor hesitate. When properly
harnessed tbey do their work uner-
ringly and without delay. All they
require is that blundering man shall
strive not to turn them from their
ways, but to fit himself to t|iem.—

greatest torture from the shoes. The
more he danced and kicked and
swore, the more the thing hurt him.
Finally, after he had gone through
the most fearful agony, he tore them
off and threw them away.
From that time forward, whenever
he saw a horseshoe, he would ran off,
anxious only to get oat of the way.
The German peasantry all believe
this story today, and one can scarcely
find a doorstep or barn door that
hasn’t a horseshoe nailed up,—Oar

A. K. Caldwell, retired, of Suiphur
Springs, Texas, says: “For over ten
years I was an almost constant suf-
ferer from kidney complaint. At
times the palps in the small of my
hack were so intense that I could not
turn in bed and if I stooped, sharp
twinges darted through my body and
almost took ray breath away. My
rest was disturbed by a frequent de-
sire to void the kidney secretions and
the passages were always accompa-
nied by a bnrning sensation. After
using two boxes of Doan’s Kidney
Pills, whioh I procured from Askew &
Buford’s drag store, I felt like a new
man. The backache ceased and I
could go to bed and obtain a full
night’s rest. I believe that any rem-
edy which acta quickly and effectively
is worthy of public endorsement and
for that reason I am giving this state-
ment in favor of Doan’s Kidney Pills.”

a youth upon whose tomb the tear of

to his doom because he wrote of

self “ye scribe.” Beneath that yew
another sleeps, who did hiB work with
smiling lips; we had to put him onb

all is resting on the windswept hill; in

one who “hit the pill.” Hard by {he

The Most Blessed Announcement.
Panl says: “How beautiful are the
feet of them that preach {he gospel of
peace, and bring glad tidings of good
things.” In that charming allusion
the apostle quotes Isaiah’s poetic de-
scription of the messenger who first
announced the glad news of King
Cyrus’ decree that the captive 'Jews
were permitted to return home from
Babylon. In the prophet’s picture-
sque setting of that interesting scene
the watchman on the mountains of
Judea, to whom the glad news was
first communicated, are supposed to
descry the far-off approach of the
messenger, who made all possible
haste to tell the good news. The chap-
ter from which Paul quotes, aud also
the three immediately following, is so
dearly Messianic in spirit that there is
no donbt that the glad tidings referr-
ed to include a far more gVorious re-
lease than that of Judah from the
Babylonia captivity. So important
was the announcement that even the
feet of the carrier were transfigured
by the glory of the message. Paul
•imply picked out the higher spiritual
of that unique announcement, and
straightway applied it to be the
preaching of Gospel, which is the
greatest, the holiest, the hardest, bat
the sweetest work to which, in the
providence of God, the children of
men are called. It’s the same song
the angels song when the Master came
to the manger. A lost world, and a
living, loving Saviour—that’s our
message.—Exchange.

Frojm every sorrow free
The kingdom there is sweetest peace
Composed of snch as he.
No doubt, up there he’ll watch for her,
Who gave him earthly birth,
And watched him with tender care
Through his short stay on earth.
And when she leaves this earthly shore
Where weeping willows grow,
To follow him who’s gone before,
Up there, her boy she’ll know.
Sleep on Lawson, sweetly sleep,
One day from there yon’ii rise,
And live with Jesns, oh, so well
Where children never die.

An Encouraging Omen.
The various denominations of Texas
are, in recent years, giving more at-
tention to practical Christ-work. The
Baptists are building up a great san-
itarium in Dallas to alleviate suffering
humanity regardless of creed. Rev.
Back Hughes, a Dallas Methodist min-
ister, has donated to his chnrch a
home for snperanuated preachers.
Universities are being endowed and
other forms of nnited actions on a
large scale are being pat forth to fos-
ter education, care for the infirm,
aged, helpless, and to aid the needy
and, in every way promote man’s
physical welfare, as well as to minis-
ter to his spiritual being. This is an
encouraging omen of the times.—Mc-

The banks of the country, whioh in-
clude the local banks, are largely res-
ponsible for this forward tendency in
business methods. Until a few years
ago bnt few banka advertised, they
were almost as ethical along that line
as the doctors, bnt one by one they
ventured forth, saw the results, and
now the banks are among the best
advertising patrons the newspapers
have. They, together With the news-
paper, have educated the public to
the banking habit and the modern
bank wonld no more undertake to do
without advertising than the modern
dry goods store, grocery store or
other mercantile establishment. The
banks are also more particular to cul-
tivate public favor and in their efforts
all along they have not overlooked
the main thing—that of keeping on a
firm foundation. The growth and sta-
bility of the banka in this obuutry fur-
nishes splendid example of the safe,
conservative and modern bank.—

Fable of the Horseshoe,
Do you know the German fable
about the horseshoe? In the olden
times, in a little village of Germany,
a blacksmith was hard at work. The
sound of the anvil attraoted the at-
tention of the devil. He saw thaft the
smith was making horseshoes, and
thought it wonld be a good idea to
get his own hoofs shod. So the devil
struck a bargain and pat up bis foot.
The blacksmith saw with whom he
was dealing and nailed a red-hot shoe
on, driving the nails square into the
devil’s hoof. The devil then paid him
and left; but the honest blacksmith
threw the money in the fire. He
knew it would bring him bad look.
Meanwhile the devil walked some
distance and began to snffer the
