1 - ..LSTTER FROM INDIANA. '"' Mri Ida tarold Msstea Write on Time rs ,- ly Tple. , FiMkfort, Iud, Deo. 13, 1904. ' ' Dear Conner: The election is orrr, most of its it aiiil alive aud ihe country hain't gone to rain. One of the stronger preacher 'I bava ever heaid ail u . few week berore ladt election tli.it when he was a bo; his f,it,hi-r w rt War in red "britches' and a blm . coat and tcok biui out to hear pulm cal apeeehes. The speakers of each "of the tworeat parties deWared that tho ooQutrT waa going to eternal "fiddlesticks" if the other got in power. He, then and there, with a boy'a qaiok faculty for classifying Ben aol things, was seized with the belief that both parties wrre telling an nntiath and has never gotten rid of the. seizure. That has been the experience of mora persons than one. The first esvmpalgu that en listed atj interest waa the one, I think, in which Har , -naon-was elected against Cleveland Immediately after the election a per son ia whom I placed a fair degree of confidence said in my hearing that tkeeoantry was ruinsd. Now. this was a jctown muD wn ri n his face and I won't be sure, bui I think with a quid of tobacco in kit aaealh, nod I, a little girl, thonght that any person b and old and ngly enough to wear a beard a ad chew a quid of tobacco was very wie. to I promptly took him at his wonl and believed that the conntry war rained. In what way I omld n snderstand, perhaps there was to b king and every body should havi to fay out half or two thirds ot their property and produce to th king. That was my idea of a king. Wouldn't that be awful? And ii snch a thing should take effect Ten aoon, where were my new parasol I and button shoes to come from nei spring for the comitiencvineiit? Per haps we should all be made to be come Roman Catholics or Mormon er be hung. And my menul atti tade was that I would rather be mow any thing than not to be at all. 1 know that I went to school the next morning with a heavy heurt. Th conntry was mined! When I sa tha teachers laughing out thei. pleasant ''good-mornings" to us, and the other pnpiU looking rosy and sappy from contact with the crisp, frosty air. I thought ia my heart, how conld they all be so careW boat onr country's welfare? Per haps they had not be.-i it. Should I tell them? At receea I ventnred to aek a boy who was some older than 1, if he knew that the country wa mined. He said that he did, bm that the report was that we had a democratic governor, and if so North Carolina was not going to the dug jnst yet. All visions of a king and taiaUon vanished at once from m mind, and the parasol and bnttou hoes shone again with renewed splendor. And so I went about my lessons all that week, perhaps for two weeks, comforted in the thoaght that tbongh ruination might be streaming ont tn evry direction from the White Honse, it eould not reach os little tarheels and our parents and onr homes, for if there was the gov ernor in between, ho would make it alright. Bnt when my father came on Fri iay afternoon to take me home for short visit, I let him know some thing of what I had felt about the stata of national affaiis. And, while he told ma that he would rather Cleveland had bee a elected, yet he langhed at my fears and assured me that w had always lived and got long and should continue to do so And then I leaned that the man with a beard and a qnid was not early l wise a my father who wae rery common, for I had know him all my life, and who never chewed aid. Then I decided what after rreral years I foand expressed in the words by Biowning: "The lark's on the wing; The snail's on the thoi n; God's in Uis heaven ' All's tight aith the world!" God's at the helm of this great nation. It will never go to rain so long as it acknowledge II im. Onr fed is a Ovid of nations. 8ome peo ple's Ida of God is so little and piaohed ap that they think He is aly to be fonnd away back in some lose! Bitting there waiting for peo ple to come at their leisure and bow Htm. (Not that I wonld nnder ralae ehect communion with God. ror lt la the mainspring of the christ ian life, bat God ia omnipresent and 3$efiy?rsaip ia ly essential that man may skat oat all things bat tb face of bis God.) They seem to think that God It a special God for thtfcn and a faw other who will see exactly as they see and go through tir special keyhole to get to Him. And infeoaaeqBene of sack m idea f Gad, their thought are pinched p distorted, tkeir live get so Bar- v yoa bob d spaa team atomnd 9 ". y?r little fiuger, tad, if ya wVi tfetsk aboct it, their very eooe ir pinched and dried up. C 'i i',-' stjuh people. Vr friends, I s r"', l-V f hiJ ra brace their creed, or their exact wiv of looking at the christian life, mtt sabacrihe to their special chore' paper, use their form of grace at tahl. in shorr, just take them by tin hand and sav, ''I'm with too. I be- lirvyou are light," (remember, bi-.- YOU,) before yon can hops for tin approval of God to rest npon yon Do you think I'm guessing- at thi Li I-ceive yourself at o:ne. !' spi'aking from actual poMona) ox pericuee. I uel to giiesa at tlnn. s.imetim-8 long ago, when Ti Courier printed my compositions on of the goodness of its heart to ei: courage a child in hsr writings ! say I ase.1 to gness et things the. and borrow a great many expreseion bnt it was becanse I hadn't the pi r-.r a-e to say what was in my own hear! and the working o my own iiiim' I was exceedingly feiiful that t!, inside of my own mind might turn the world upside down. I hiv 1 ng irr ccnied to have sne h tw hiwefer, and rnlr wish it miht b as I feared then. Therefore, 1 sa, without hesitation that there . people who want you to go throtigi hem and tbeir petty ideas to get t ileevtn. And I doabt very much i yon wonld ever get there if yea trie 't. Listen! Jea says, "1 am th way, tb truth .nd the light " I'm mJ not go through anything to to Jesus, evcept rrp-i.tan li liimtelf i the way to th Fathei' nome. And those who thiak uod i t little hit of a Ged jnst to suit tliei ideas are vert snrely mistakeu. 11. s greater than the human mind ca; .omprehend. He holds the reins os conutlets worlds ia His hands. It matches the government of on nation, and if our nation ever g to ruiu it will be because it tnrns ii lack upon the teachers of Christ am walks apart from its God. But n taking this view we must not forge hat God is also a God of litU. things. All the great people He ha put into this world have been arepl- h were faithfal in a few thing' It i the being faithfal in a fe- hings that makes as capable of be ing ruler over maay. And so God. in whom centre all thing, eve, time and eternitv, and who is tbi ieity for countless worlds, still hear? the mi nn test groan of ene ef th, 'east of His children. And not t parrow falleth but that He knoas. God not only sent Colnmbu iiirose nnkiown to discover thi ontiuent, but He was with Colnm us on that vevage, and therefore tin nation, beloved of God, is not goinj to pieces so easily as some woul, make one think. Though it ie tni- hat we Americans are not any mor 'teloved of God than the ancien: Jewish people were and we neHi ti be exceediagly careful of our con Inct lest we fall as they did and ouf fer persecutions. And to a thonght ful mind we stand now upon th, brink of some gret dangers snch a political pollution, intemperance am: others which I will not name. But for fear I open another line ol thonght let m close, hopi' g to takt np the thread, or some other, sooi 'gain. Yonrs rrnly, Ipa Ikaold Mastex. Whele nhest Bread.

Add a teaspoonful of salt and enough whole wheat Soar to make a batter that will drop eaily from a spoon; beat thorongh- ly for five minntes; cover and stann in a place that is moderately warm for three hours.

Make the dough into loaves, pnt ia well greased bread-pans, cover, and stand away to rise for one honr. When raised enough, pnt it in th ovea and bake. If leng French loaves, bake thirty minutn in qniek oveu; if large sqnare leave, bake one hour at a moderate heat. A PtCBiiar ss4 Palatal lejary.
