the Prayer corner A LITTLE THING For it is precept upon precent, pre empt upon precept! Line upon line, line upon line! Here a little, there a little! Let rae share with you a letter from one who was a True Comrade, a real fellow, well met. " GEORGE THOMAS DOWLING now passed to his Reward. In it "he being dead, yet speaketh." His mes sage may be a very happy one for us all through this New Year of 1931 if we are earnest in applying it "One of my Christmas letters from PI a very dear friend," he says, "con tained a typewritten copy of an ex quisite little poem, one of the most beautiful I have ever read. The au thors name I do not know. "I had been thinking of you, my dear friends and comrades, scattered as you are, far and wide. I had beei> thinking of preparing for you, in a single word & message with which to start the New Year, for though I am 110 longer ministering - to you with regularity, I may, from time to >^|iirae, send a brief "All Hail," a tocsin "in what sometimes seems to be a ) tumbling world, to faith and courage and good cheer, lifes three omnipo tent weapons." And when I read the poem, I said, that shall be my message, and I will add just one suggestion of my own. Here id the poem. Only a frown; yet it pressed a sting Into the day that had been so glad. The red rose turned to a scentless | th'ng, j The bird song ceased with discordant ] ring And a heart was heavy and sad. Only a smile; yet it cast a spell Over the sky which had been so gay. The rain made music wherever it fell, The wind sang the song of tho mar FOB Quia SERVICE ON YOUR PLUMBING PHONE 224 We also do Auto Glass Work and we Renew Br?'.ien Window Glass. R. F. THARP 53 West Main St. fc.Lt (J 1 KiCAL WUKK Wli. And a heart was light aad glad. V "And here is the suggestion : "Suppose that you and I commit this poem to memory, and then, either during the- quiet watches of the night oT at waking dawn, repeat | it to ourselves, not hastily, but thoughtfully, as we would offer a prayer. And then go gladly forth to meet whatever comes, with a heart lit with the spirit of this poem, the Spirit of the Master. "I know of no way in which the coming days may so certainly bring to us, and to those whom we best love a A HAPPY NEW YEAR for "as a man thinketh m his heart so is he." "Two men looked thru prison bars, One saw mud, the other stars.',' "But this is such a little thing, un worthy of the attention of a busy man of affairs? The gentleman who sent me this poem is a wholesale manufacturer, earnestly occupied ev-| ery working hour of the day, the head of his firm in New York City, a ready man in the church which he attends and who was one of my wardens when he attended mine. * "A little thing! The most worth- 1 while things in life are little things. Think that over. , "And so may this be to you and vcurs, a very Happy New Year, and in the words of Dickens' Tiny Tim over the Christmas dinner, "God bless us every one." A PRAYER Dear Lord, I am not afraid, if 1 have Thee. I turn from the past be cause I leave it with Thee, for Thou only canst wash away its stain, and make it beautiful, Thou only cast make its crooked efforts straight and its rough places smooth. I set Thee before me as I enter the year, all full of the traces of Thy Divine Feet and Rich with the experiences Thou hast prepared for me. I fear not to go where Thou has led the way. I rejoice to hasten out that I may feel Thee near in the surprises that Thou who hast gone before hast made ready for me. Only keep me. Dear King and Master, full of Faith, that I go not blindly, full of hope, that I toil not ignorantly, full of love, that my heart may be in all that I am and in all that I do. Make this year the ; best of all my years because so richly consecrated. Make it a year j of goodness and usefulness, that . lonely hearts may be glad for my ! living, and sad hearts take courage from me, and sinful lives be redeem ed by my efforts. And when all my earthly years are ended, take me to those Eternal Years where I shall still find Thee and rejoice in Thee forever, Amen, Lord Jesus, Amen.

Baker, professor of Chemistry and director of athletics at Weaver College since 1928, has been elected to a position as assist ant in Chemistry at the Univeriity of North Carolina and has been re leased by Weaver College because of the gTeat opportunity afforded him of advancement in his profession. His work is being divided among oth er members of the faculty in order to hold the place at Weaver opeh to fiim next year if it then seems desirable to him. Mr. Baker proved to be one of the most valuable riiembers the Weaver faculty ever had. He is a "born teacher." loving to impart instruc tion and having a natural ability to clear up the difficulties of his .Intri cate subject. He is rigorous in his requirements, but his studious pupils meet them and enjoy doing so. In the fall of 1930 Mr. Baker was head football coach and made the Weaver team runner-up to the state junior college champions, losing only the game with the champions. At the same time his personal ac tivities have been most helpful. He has been one of the strongest Christian characters on the campus throughout his stay. His chapel and Y. M. C. A. talks will, long be re membered because they were well thought out, pertinent, and forcefully delivered. His room has been a Mecca for boys with any physical dis abilities, for he has usually been able to help them from his first aid box, and his chaffing and ready sym pathy have always had rerftedial qualities.
