Since You Are Gone!
By Nora Cobb Wbite
The moon in soft radiance Is beam
in*,
Heaven's eyes upon earth are gleam
i*g,
Mementi are filled with dreaming
Since you are gone!
Breezes o'er the mountains come
sighing,
The trees bow low as if trying
To catch a message a-hieing
Since you are gene!
A voice from the silence Is saying
Be true, DC every a-praym*.
Lore and hope is :tiy!ug
Since you are gone!
Adown the shadowy aisles of time
Men blindly toil and grope.
With here and there a glittering ray
O, wondrous Star of Hope!
And just beyond the murky ways
Where weary feet have trod,
Still gleams a bcautious radiant orb
O, wondrous Lamp of God!
,<*? ??
The Christmas Star, O Holy Light,
Into dark souls may shine
Answering the cry of eager heart*,
O, wondrous Light Divine!

For November 9th
Feeding of the Fire Thousand.
Q.?What are the decrees of God?
A.?The decrees of God are, his
eternal purpose, according to the
counsel of his will, whereby, for his
Iown glory he has forcordamed whatsoever
comes to pass. *
4 mv miracic ul me ictuing ui mc
five thousand is recorded by Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John. The
record of John is the basis of our
study. Some additional facts are
given by the other writers. Of these
we shall not be unmindful in this
discusison. Each gospel Is In reality
a version of the same gospel by different
writers. The miracle is the
same in all four but a complete picture
can be had only by careful study
of each.
Jesus is evidently trying to escape
the crowd. It is like going to
a place for removed from the city for
a period of rest. The inevitable experience
of a bearer of genuine gospel
tiding is that when those in these
parts hear of his presence they will
gather about him to hear and to learn.
Recently I heard the story of a man
of God who was visiting in a community
where the people were anxious
to learn of the things of God.
Their habit was to gather and read
the Bible. The passage was that concerning
the putting of new wine in
old bottles. There was some perplexity
as to why new wine should
not be put in old bottles. When the
man of God explained that the bottles
that Christ was speaking of were
made of skin and that they would not
hold the new wine the teaching became
at once clear and he was besought
to explain other passages.
So Jesus had gone away for a little
rest but his capacity to teach and
to heal coupled with his systematic
nature afforded no opportunity or
any rest. He had another reason foi
going. The disciples had returned
from the missio on which he had sent
thenv They were anxious to make
their report and he was anxious to
hear it. But this must waft the crowd
is there and their nerds are to be met
at once. Old Herod has just causeo
John to be beheaded. There is a
thirst for blood in his soul and he is
seeking to see Jeaus- Jesus was prudent
and ho nought $. qqiet place.
vHdnce Jesus and his disciples put
out very quietly across the little sea
but their conversation is allowed to
last only during the time of crossing
for when they reach the other side
the crowd is already present. Jesus
leadsleads on in the direction of the
hills and the entire crowd follows.
He spends the day evidently In teaching
and healing. Nor is his labor
confined to the present crowd for a
great caravan of people on their way
to the feast comes and joins the
crowd. Let us-see for a moment the
great teacher at work.
There is no indication of a lesson
having been assigned. There is no
hint of a classroom exercise. There
is no lecture spoken of that they were
expected to digest. But Jesus in a
manner of which his hearers were totally
unconscious was all the while
developing a personality In each one
of them. Not one of them could look
back to this day without feeling the
, moving power cf his teaching. Let
us look at Philip.
Philip- was a cold calculating man
who could see nothing except the material
things about him. Jesus taught
I him to have within him that faith
which is more precious than rubles.
Philip thought barley bread was fit
for only the commonest man in Galilee.
Jesus let him find within himself
a consciousness of the fact that
any thin** that the Sen of God touches
is fit for kings. Ah! how we of
, today need in our midst teachers who
are born of God. Even our preachers
too often bear the stamp of their
school abeve the stamp of the Master.

The National Electric Light Association

The last verses show us that the
people had a misguided conception of
the meaning of scripture. They
wore looking for an earthly king.
They did not understand that in their
midst was their spiritual deliverer.
I The trouble seems to be that their
1 teachers had used the Bible as a sad!
die to ride a hobby.
I read in a recent article of one
who had the experience of a visit from
a man who quoted much scripture to
prove that the English people are the
ten lost tribes of Israel. Another
writer hns spent much time trying to
prove that the Garden of Eden was
located at the North Pole. Still another
declares that he can see Im!
mersion in any passage of the scrxpI
ture The passage "The axe is laid
! at the root of the tree." was quoted.
Only a moment was needed and the [
j champion of Immersion replied, "Yes|
it was laid there in order that John!
the Baptist might chop his way to the j
river Jordan and there Immerse the
multitudes." The article continued
and said that even theologians are I
guilty of misusing the clear meaning
of the scripture passages In order to
prove some pet theory.
The people whom Jesus wss teach
ing did the same foolish thin? and
proved their own satisfaction that
Jesus was to be a kin?. Theory did
not permit them to believe that he
was to be their spiritual king. Oh!
the tragedy of a belief because of
the loaves and fishes only. In the
end it was a gross unbelief. The
thing that these people did was the
same thing that a business man would
do if he would profess faith simply
because he thinks it would help his
busines. What a tragedy! ....
Once Again
To The Editor:
Dear Sir?At a recent meeting of
the North Carolina Orphan Association
a resolution was unanimously
adopted expressing to the newspapers
of the state the grateful appreciation
of the organization "for their liberality
in presenting the needs for the
fatherless ones to the public." This
was not simply a formality, but ex-pressive
of the actual feeling o;f the
Association.
Another Thanksgiving season approaches,
and the Association expressed
the wish that the usual campaign
foi| voluntary contributions be
conducted.
You are doubtless familiar with
the plans hitherto employed in the
conduct of this movement, the success
of which must be measured largely
by the extent of the co-operation
shown by the daily and weekly newspapers
of the state. The coremittee
appreciates the fact that the editors
of our papers are frequently imposed
upon with propaganda f?r mrious
and sundry objects, but feels hat
they will not object to uniting again
in the effort to safeguard the interests
of the state's orphaned childrer
through the approaching winter.

A lesson may be learned from the c

Advocates of public ownership have p

While they have been largely unsuc- c

ed by attacks made on railroads, in- i;

Thanksgiving Day. Those who respond
are ask to forward the amount

choice. Or this may be done through
church. Sunday school, community
organization, or fraternal order. The
Publicity handles no funds.
The committee makes Its first appeal
to the rewspapers, for it Is
through their columns it must reach
| the people, if they are to be reached
1 at all. Occasional kindly mention
of the movement in youi* paper will
be greatly appreciated. The call Is
urgent and it is our hope that few
I if any, will hear it in vain. Thous|
ands of hig-hearted North Carolln
[ ians have been generously responding
to the call. We believe they will
j again do so at the appointed time.
Please remind one and all that

and aid a class of litle folks /
I who are unable to take caro of them-1
