THE GOLDTHWAITE EAGLE —FRIDAY, AUGUST 1,1947
HILLSIDE MISSION
By LIDA BYRNE
To get value of learning by
repetition we can find it from
the book that contains more
wisdom than any other book in
the world, which is the Bible.
Let us turn to Psalm 107, strat-
isgj^kt verse 6: “Then they cried
unto the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them out of
theie distresses.”
Verse 8: “O that men would
praise the Lord for his goodness
and for his wonderful works to
the children of men!”
Verse 13: “Then they cried
unto the Lord in their trouble,
and He saved them out of their
distresses.”
Verse 15: “Oh that men would
praise the Lord for his goodness,
and for His wonderful works to
the children of men!”
Verse 19: '“Then they cry
unto the Lord in their trouble,
and he saveth them out of their
distresses.”
Verse 21: “Oh that men would
praise the Lord for his goodness,
and for his wonderful works to
the children of men!”
Verse 28: “Then they cry
unto the Lord in their trouble,
and He bringeth them out of
their distresses.”
Verse 31: “Oh that men would
praise the Lord for his goodness,
and for His wonderful works to
the children of men!”
The last verse of that chapter
is as follows: “Whoso is wise,
and will observe these Things,
even they shall understand the
loving kindness of the Lord.”

and horses are not susceptible
to the disease. Neither are trac-
tors, and several shipments of
them are reportedly being used
to replace the oxen.
Two of our Scotsmen friends,
who have lived on forms in the
old country, tell of homeland
customs which might well be
copied here. One is the ringing
of all bulls, for safety’s sake,
and another is the rigid practice
of making a last minute inside
the barn check up every night
before retiring. Many fires are
prevented in this way, and

MARKS THE SPOT
Yes—X marks the spot where more than 2,000 people died and oyer
70,000 were injured last year when automobile drivers challenged
the iron horses of the rails—and lost.
When you approach a railroad crossing you are entering the
railroad’s right-of-way. To save you from harm, gates are lowered
or automatic signalling devices, bells and blinking lights warn of
approaching trains. The engineer blows a warning blast, rings his
V
bell. That’s the most the railroad can do. The rest is up to you.
