son’s hand, gave a few words of ad-
vice about staying out of troube to-
morrow, he knew that while he
would probably not see his son again

There were no Boy Scouts and
fresh air camps in those days, and
no gymnasiums. But the fellow
who has never stood barefoot in pas-
ture or orchard grass, or buried his
toes in the cooling dust of a country
road, with the rising sun bringing
another bunch of freckles to distrib-
ute over his face, has missed some-
thing out of boyhood he can never
put back. Today the world gives a
lot to boyhood, but when we think of
the boys of yesterday and then com-
pare their joys with those of the
boys of today we can’t help feeling
that at the same time the world is
giving them much it is witholding
still more.
An Ode to Autumn.
We are not going to reprint “The
Frost Is On the Pumpkin,” because
every paper in the country is now
busy doing the same thing. We want
to be different, so instead of follow-
ing the example of the others we’re
going to offer a new Autumn ode.
Here it is:
“The housewife counts her cans of
fruit, the hunter sallies forth to
shoot, the football vend begins to
root, the legislatures start to loot.

with making it so. For she can re-

They Are Human.
Several times when daily news-
papers reaching Meridian contained I
a story of some minister’s bad judg-
ment, or when some minister becomes
entangled in a love affair and dis-
graces his calling, we’ve heard fel-
lows read about it and say: “I see
where another minister has gone
wrong.” And we’ve wondered why
the insinuation, since ministers are
human, and as such are liable to make
mistakes. One thing, possibly, that
makes it an outstanding news item
is that it is so seldom that a munster
goes wrong that it looks like a great-
er sin than if a lawyer, a banker, or
even an editor was guilty of the
same offense. The calling seems to
magnify the mistake. People read of
thousands of law violations and pass
no comment, but the moment one
preacher’s name is dragged into print
in connection with a scandal it is
aired and passed along as though the
impossible had come to pass. But it
is human nature to err, don’t forget
that, and remember that no matter
how firm and secure you may con-
sider yourself in the straight and
narrow path, there is always danger
that you will slip.
