DEAD MAN AT THE THROTTLE. Not long ago, bumping over a net work of frogs and switches, the limit ed express on a great transcontinen tial railway sped into the terminal station at a large city with the engin eer dead at his post. He sat in his accustomed place; his sightless eyes Were riveted on the track ahead of him; nerveless fingers still gripped the throttle. So life-like ‘was his po sition that the fireman, who had be come alarmed at the undiminished speed as they neared the station, shook him roughly before he realiz ed that the man was dead. He shut of the steam and applied the brakes just in time to avert a terrible catas trophe. A dead man at the throttle. How many calamities in life can be traced to men in a like conditoin God has given each of us the charge of a won derful machine —the human body with its complex mechanism through which act our physical, mental and moral forces. We are each an engineer, and each of us must drive his machine .along the destined path between the eternities. Many meet with catastrophes. We cannot always explain them, but how many times the cause is—a dead man at the throttle! He sits in his accus tomed place with his eyes fixed on the track ahead, but he is dead never theless to all thought of moral or spir itual responsibility. There are help less people on the track before him; there is a long train of unborn gener ations coming after him; but he does not see or think or eel. It is one of the mystifying truths of life that a man can be outwardly alive although inwardly dead. His mind may be keen and his senses alert though he is dead in heart and soul. It would be better for the world if he were physically dead; for while he remains physically alive he is still an engineer in control .of dangerous forces—forces' that he cannot use with consideration for others, or as He who intrusted him with them in tended them to be used. The pow ers it was hs duty to control are great; uncontrolled, they are a curse rather than a blessing. Ungovemed by principle and love of others, they are sure to brng tragedy and suffer ing to everyone in their path.—Ex change. ‘ / S' ( - j A SPORTS JACKET 4 • ...

BUILD A HOME NOWf pnl K II dav 15 IN AMERICA BUT TWO YEARS —RADIO EXPERT. POLISH BOY_IS rr IN s AMLK. i^ng gT “Ho do you do,” says Nathan Flaishman, 15-year-old Philadephia lad, as . he tips his hat and at the same time displays his unique nfew radid set. The . whole receiving set is contained in the straw kelly and vath this, an umbie la for an aerial, and a piece of wire trailing along side him for* a ground, he strolls about the Quaker City, getting all the concerts by local ancl the sub urban broadcasting stations everywhere he goes. The set cost him 40 cents j and the coil, which consists of about 200 turns, tapped on every eleventh turn is hidden by the hat band. , ~ , - There are eight pieces on the primary and eight on the secondary of the : coil. The leads from the taps are brought through the hat and connected -o ; the switchpoints on top that are controlled by two switch blades for tuning j purposes. Os the four binding posts, two are used for phone connectors anti two for the aerial and ground wires. The crystal detector was purchased for ten cents at a nickel-dime store. * IV , Flaishman has only been in this country for two years, having come irom Poland. He is in the seventh grade at school and has given frequent talks, on radio to his schoolmates. He has built several sets for himself and during his spare moments builds sets for his friends—besides working after school in his father’s store. THE YEAR’S BEFORE YOU. Never say die, though the heavens may cry, and the winds may be howling their worst; Though your health hnay be bad, and your rent may be raised, and the bank with your money be burst. Though your friends may all leave you when ill-fortune comes, and go off with their heads in the air, Still, never say die, and one day if, you try, your glass will aagin be “Set Fair.” Never say die, for it’s cowards who cry, and they never win in the race. If you must go under for some human blunder, you may just as well do it with grace. Take Job as a sample, a shining ex ample, of what can be done if you’ve pluck, For he came out top dog from veriest bog of misfortune and cruel hard luck. ♦ Never say die, for there’s sun in the sky, no matter how drear the day S66ITIS* < And there’s sun in your heart, if you’ll And soon you will find that the cloud doleful dreams. . So climb up the hill, determined to kill all the dragons that stand in your way; give it a start, and put away all is behind and the sun shining bright all the day. Present Day Freedom. In Utah you cannot buy, sell or smoke cigarettes in a public place. In lowa and Georgia you cannot Up a servant. . In New York you cannot drink any thing but embalming fluid.

Who fights the daily battle without fear; • Sees his hopes fail, yet keeps unfal tering trust * That God is God—and somehow, true and just *" His plans work out for mortals; not a tear Is shed when fortune, which the world holds dear, v Falls from his grasp—better, with . love, a crust Than living in dishonor; envies not. [No roses faith in man; but* does his best, Ndr ever murmurs at his humbler lot; But, with a smile and words of hope, gives zest - To every toiler. He alone is great. Who by a life heroic conquers fate. A FEW WORDS ABOUT CHARITY J. T. Olive Sends Us Another Letter Full of Good^Words. Someone may say “What is Char ity?” The Word of God says that men are known by their fruits and why nat_ charity also? What will charity do ? Why will it make a man )ove God; it will make hs all as a 'human race love everybody; it will make a man pay his honest debts and it wil ltake anger out of a man’s neart; yea, it will make us visit the sick and it will make us help those who cannot help themselves. It will make the proud and vain hearts speak to the poor and lowly persons they , meet and if they do not, then we may \ i know that there is no charity in them. I j What thfey say does not matter. We! < meet with many soft-mouthed people! < who will say, why don’t they help J you ? But we never hear or know of j \ their helping anyone, but are very of- 1 < ten begging for themselves. Now I ( < ask in the dear name of Jesus, is this < Charity? It does not represent che.:> \ ity to me, neither does it bear the J fruits of Charity. J The Apostle Paul said that there j were three things—Faith, Hope and < Charity and that the greatest of these < was Charity. Now if a man give |! all of his goods to feed the poor and j J give his body be burned, it profiteth ! J him nothing. Now, then, what is j j charity ? It is, as I understand it, i < love—an inner love and a feeling to- j < ward everyone and especially the poor !! and needy. It regret to say that we ! ! have many people in our country to- j J day that do not give. If you’d ask ] them they would probably say that j they give more than anyone else, but < upon examination you would find that ! they had given to some great agency ! that goes for show. Did not Jesus J say for us not to do as the Pharisees ? J When they prayed or gave they did j» it to be seen of men—verily they have ;! their reward. i Jesus commands that 2 when we pray or when we give to do !; it in secret and that our Heavenly Fa ther which seeth iiiysecret shall reward J us openly. Charity comes a long way to say ye do all this from your heart ;► fervently, because you love them. The .! I Bible says that pure arid undefiled re- |! [ religion'is this To visit the fatherless .J; and widows i ntheir afflictiion and to4.jj keep thyself upspotted from the world, jj It further states he that hath this «! world’s goods and seeth his brother ![ have need and shutteth up his bowels < \ and compassion from him, how j[ dwelleth the love of God in him. <> My friends this is a plain saying !| and I tell you it takes charity ,in a \\ man’s heart for him to go along and J; hear right. There are people who ;► have charity in their heart but. not ]! the means to carry it out. Now isn’t <t it better for man to be tha t way than \\ to give grudgingly or to give it and \\ talk about it afterwards? Now, I say J * boldly in Jesus’ name, that is not J; charity nor the fruits of charity —it d is Pharisee-like. If our righteousness <1 does not exceed that of the Pharisees ![ we cannot enter into the kingdom of !| God. J [ Now I say to you in Jesus’ name, J» look well to your acst. I once knew ;> of a man that intended to give aj! preacher a ham of meat, but the de- ![ vil told him not to do so, but to gtfve \ * him something cheaper. He decided \\ rather than to be tempted by the de- J[ vil that he would give all the meat to ;► the Preacher. We need to be more of j! the spirit of that man. , <! If we have professed Him our names are written in Heaven and Jesus says for us to rejoice on that account. This J ► is certainly enough to make us re- <> joice and to love one another and be <t charitable. Let us Jove one another \\ and be charitable and when He comes \ 1 to take us home to Himself in glory !> we shall be happy evermore. 1 » t,- i , J. T. OLIVE. <!
