Idea of Vermont Citizen Hal Been Productive ot Far Reaching and Splendid Results. On a cliff ai the fool of Drake's hill, in Bristol, Vi, is the so-called Prayer rock, which has become widely known during (he past 15 years wiih the increased use of motorcars. It was in 1891 that Dr. Joseph C. Green, a former citizen of Lincoln, Vt., bethought himself how he might do some thing to stop the excessive use of hard language indulged in by ex asperated farmers seeking to urge their horses and oxen up the steep rise in the main road between Lincoln and Starksboro. He de cided that some ethical or religious reminder should be established at the foot of Drake's hill, and finally gave an order to a stonecutter to engrave the Lord's Prayer upon the face of the cliff. As the nature of the rock did not bring out the lettering clearly, Doctor Greene had the text painted white. Every spring the town authorities now repaint the letters. For many years Doctor Greene lived in Buf falo, and there received hundreds of letters from tourists, expressing approval of his prayer rock idea. The carving had the effect desired, for few drivers could but be pa tient with their beasts of burden in the face of the scriptural quotation on that great tablet. A MODEL OF THE PAST.

He did not hold himself too high to walk in his fields and mingle with his workmen. He was not only pious, but generous, gallant, and humane. He greeted is reapers as a God fearing man, and conducted himself in an up right and becoming manner. His religion was in deed and in truth. He saluted his servants with : 'The Lord be with you." He did not come to find fault and exercise authority, but with a prayer that the Lord might prosper them, and give them health and strength, and preserve them from disaster. But he also came to inspect and direct nd look well after his business affairs. An employer can do much to encourage his workmen. It is a bitter thing for the poor not only to gain their scanty living by hard toil, but especially to suffer re proach because of their humble lot. The men in lowliest stations should receive most encourage ment and praise. What the poor are really in need of is opportuni ty and sympathy. They want a chance and they want a friend. HAD WON THE RIGHT. A mother of my acquaintance suggested to her five-year-old daughter that she pray for a baby sister or brother, lime passed and the five-year-old was rewarded for her prayers, and when the Question of a name arose, the little miss demanded the right to name the baby, saying; I'll name thai baby; I did the praying.

ALON 5 EEC All, Somewhere in France where crosses lean Above so many graves today; Where faded lillies place their screen And summer winds kneel down to pray You who first ventured overseas To watch, at last, the light grows dim, God must have sent His gentlest breeze To bring your spirit back to Him. Somewhere in France, dust unto dust You wait beyond the Inn of Life, Where through lone nights the guarding crust Shuts out the clamor of the strife; But above the crimson sod No barrier your soul might stop. When from the great white throne of God You see the Legion cross the top. A year ago today you knew The endless melody of song; You saw that summer skies were blue That drifting summer days were long; You waited, while the twilight breath Cime crooning some old serenade, To hold your "rendezous with Death At some disputed barricade." Today the Legion holds the line Unbroken by the driving mass, Where you have helped to write ihe sigu In dripping blood "They Shall Nor Pissl" And now beyond the far divide You see the mt i y R.g advance Among the millions who have not died For love of liberty and France. The eagle's wings at last are spread Above a never beaten shield, Where still among the deathless dead Your speeter haunts the clotted field; And borne afar on summer's breath You send this message Hurting through "I had a rendezvous with Death 1 did not fail that rendezvous!" LEAVE HIM ALONE. Tilley I'm going to see if I can't get that sullen chat to come out of his shell. Billy Don'i; he's a pretty bad egg. CANNOT MATCH THE BIBLE. Oreat Men Can Find No Other Book That Combines Its Liter ary or Historical Merits. The bulk of the people bus iness men, lawyers, doctors and others don't read the Bible, but writers universally recog nize it as the greatest book, Prof. William Lyon Phelps, of Yale University, said in a re cent address. Being a serious book, it is weak in humor," Prof. Phelps said, 'Would that mine adver sary had written a book.' No narrative writers can match the style of the Bible's Old Testament stories Hume, Gibbon, Kose they are inferi or. This is the day of the short story writer, Kipling, De Mau pasant, O. Henry, but their best efforts fall short of the stories of the Bible. So it is with its poetry in the Psalms. Its wis dom of the Proverbs is just as up-to-date as the morning pa per, and there is no political economy equal to the Book of Gospels. "It is possible to overestimate the Bible's influence on Eng lish literature. Bunyan wrote a great book because he was saturated with the Bible, and it trickled out when he wrote. 'Lincoln know only two books the Bible and Shakes peareand yet he was a splen didly educated man. To know the Bible is to be educated. One of the finest metaphors in Keat's 'Ode to a Nightingale' is taken directly from the Bi ble; 'Nearer, My God, to Thee' is simply a paraphrase of tbe Bible." Detroit News.
