Page six "IT IS THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE THAT COUNT" SAYS PROF, SAMUEL L, HAWORTH In his chapel talk Frid. y, May 21, Mr. Haworth asked, "Who hath de spised the day of small things?"' He then went on to say; if is a very im portant question and may be answered in the negative assuming that God is creator of the world rnd in it lie has not despised little things. "Little drops of water; little grains of sand; make the mighty ocean; and this merry land." Men of affairs do not despise the day of small things, A. T. Stewart, Itading merchant Prince, picked up small grains of coffee in bis store, rnd saved pieces of twine. A lawyer watches very carefully for little turns in answers. A doctor watches the very smallest symptoms. The United States Postal Department will not al low a mistake of one cent. It takes every cent to make p. dollar. Eternity itself would be broken if one second is gone. Habit is made of little things and one's career is often deter mined by small things. "I had a growing feeling to enter the ministry," said Mr. Haworth, "But. I was working in a post office. One day 1 took a paper ;nd read it. In this paper I found two sentences about a man in lowa, f wrote to him and we corresponded for a few months. It was not long after this that I suc ceeded him as pastor end met my V ife. If it had not been for those two sentences, I would not be standing here today." "It is the little things in life that count today." Ode To Spring Ho! spring with her budding iury, Hath burst, with the dove's coo — And awak'ning winter's slumbers, Into things which are great and new. A croak! Just a frog of the bottomland. Adding its tiny cheer Announcing again winter's broken— It's coming, so lovers beware. A bud! then it's all broken; So the breath 'o spring peeps thru— It fills the air with much fragrance. It's as sweet as the morning's dew. A call ! and the call is universal. For God is breaking anew— He's changing Mother Earth in 1 er glory. From the dead to the spring which is New. —By "June" Lint-back. Feb. 28, 1926.

And feeling it I have wandered down pathways- Pathways where the sun flecks through the trees- Where violets spring up by mossy rocks— Pathways that lead into the d?pth of woods— Dark and silent and deep Hut pregnant with thoughts in that sil ence. t have always loved pathway —s Loved the little windings of them— Loved to follow where th-y lead. I have followed on until I was lost In a wood. I have followed paths down into my own heart, Hut I have always been lost In the dark and silent abyss of my soul. —G. H.
