SPECIALTIES LOCKS ; : KNIVES SPORTING GOODS BURLINGTON HARDWARE COMPANY EAT AT RAUHUT’S WEINNIE SANDWICHES, THE NEW WAY OPEN ALL NIGHT HUMAN GRANDEUR PASSES Solomon was great. He was born to the purple. He was the son of the immortal harpist of the universal human heart. He built the walls of Jerusalem; he built many cities. His proverbs were a thousand and one. The splendor of his court was indescrib able. Many musicians and musical in struments were in his court. He re ceived presents from the ends of the earth. The great Christ said in the Sermon on the Mount, as he saw the modest lily by the crystal streamlet, “And why take ye anxious care for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field; they toil not, neither do they spin: “And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all liis glory was not array ed like one of these.” Then from those healing lips came the immortal words, that great ques tion that rings all doivn the ages, and will ring in many a lost soul forever— ^‘And yet I say unto you, tliat even Solomon in all his glory was not ar rayed like one of these. ‘ ‘ Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, 0 ye of little faith? “Were ye in churchless solitudes re maining, Ear from the voice of teachers and divines, My soul would find, in flowers of God’s ordaining, Priests, sermons, shrines.’’ Dark brown were her eyes, Gold shown in her hair. Her neck resembled ivory, And her cheeks were peaches rare. Her teeth were tiny peals, Her lips a cherry red; Could she have lived in ages past, She’d reigned in Venus’ stead. I sighed and as I turned away, Went slowly toward the door. For she was just a waxen form In a department store. Daughter—“Papa, what is your birthstone?” Father of seven—“My dear, I’m not quite sure, but I think it’s a grind stone.” delta UPSILON KAPPA HAS WELL ATTENDED HOUSE PARTY (Continued from Page 1) SELECTED Because Mohammed forbade repro ductions o'f human beings, animals or plants in picture or plastic form, these decorations are absent in all Moslem architecture. * * * The custom of wearing long thin shoes with pointed toes became so pre valent in the fifteenth century that Ed ward IV, in 1462, decreed that only an English lord should don footwear with points more than two inches long. * Some weatherbeaten stone steps still remaining at the gateways of many old- fashioned country houses are relics of the roadless colonial era when the sad dle horse was used by both sexes. * ♦ * Briar root for pipes has become so popular in this country that France is reaping a rich harvest from its ex portation. In 1914 its value was 80,- 000,000 francs. * * * Cato was a prohibitionist. He drank nothing but water. WHO CARRIES ON SATAN’S BUSINESS? We have been asked to reprint the following well-known verses attributed to the Rev. Alfred J. Hough. Men don’t believe in a Devil now, as their fathers used to do; They’ve forced the door of the broadest creed to' let his majesty through. There isn’t a print of his cloven foot or a fiery dart from his bow To be found on earth or in air today, for the world has voted so. But who is it mixing the fatal draught that palsies heart and brain. And loads the bier of each passing year with ten hundred thousand slain? Who blights the bloom of the land today witli the fiery breath of hell. If the Devil isn’t and never was; won’t somebody rise and tell? Who dogs the steps of the toiling saint and digs the pit for his feet? Who sows the tares in the field of time wherever God sows His wheat? The Devil is voted not to be, and, of course, the thing is true; But who is doing the kind of work the Devil alone should do? We are told that he doesn’t go' about as a roaring lion now; But whom shall we hold responsible for the everlasting row To be heard in’ church, in home, and state, to earth’s remotest bounds; If the Devil by a unanimous vote is nowhere to be found? Won’t somebody step to the front forth with, and make their bow, and show How the frauds and crimes of a single day spring up? We want to know. The Devil was fairly voted out, and of course, the Devil’s gone; But simple people would like to know who carries his business on!

THE LAYMAN Leave it to the ministers, and soon the church will die, Leave it to the women-folks, the young will pass it by. For the church is all that lifts us from the coarse and selfish mob, And the church that is to prosper needs the layman on the job. Now a layman has his business, and a layman has his joys, I?ut he also* has tlie training of his little girls and boys; And I wonder how he’d like it if there were no churches here. And he had to raise his children in a Godless atmosphere? It’s the church’s special function to uphold the finer things. To teach that way of living from which all that’s noble springs; But the minister can’t do it, single- handed and alone. For the laymen of the coTintry are th® church’s corner-stone. When you see a church that’s empty, though its doors are opened wide. It is not the church that’s dying; it’s the laymen who have died. For it’s not by song or sermon that the church’s work is done, It’s the laymen of the country who fot God must carry on. —Edgar A. Guest. Because French miners brought from the wine districts of the South to the mines in Normandy could not accustom themselves to cider they returned home.
