What a great leveler is snow
Like charity, it covers a multitudi
of ugly things and makes us oni
in spirit. The effect produced or
us by a good snow storm is some
what like the waves brought abcu
in a pool by dropping a stone int<
it. It stirs our sluggish blood anc
sends a glow over the whole body
We breathe more deeply, sm'l<
more frequently, and even th<
surliest natured persons greet thei
fellows with a cheery word whei
they meet on the street.
It isn't because we are insensibli
to the discomforts occasioned h;
frozen water pipes, or the extra re
rmirements of live stock, if we hap
??
pen to live on a farm, but becausi
the accompanying cold is as wim
to cur sluggish blood. It stimulate:
us, makes us feel like walking fas
ter and gives us a more cheerfu
attitude towards life. In short i
supplies needed pep and we fee
exhilerated.
Alias Jack Hote
A very earnest little maid canv
to the desk Saturday morning anc
asked for a book about Jack Hote
Not being able to recall one wore
about Jack and not sure wiiethe:
he belonged to the realm of history
or fiction, I asked her to t?i
me something about him. She didn't
kn^w anything, she said, but hei
teacher had asked her to tell tht
class something about him on Monday.
As the little girl had come lr
from the country just to learr
about Jack I could not disappcin
her. I asked every one in the library
for suggestions. None hac
ever heard of him. We could recal
no character in Kidnapped, Ivanhoe
or any of the other books she hac
read, who bore that name. As i
last resort, I asked if her textbool
mentioned his name and was assured
it did. She went out to refei
to the assignment in Literature anc
Life and announced on her returr
that it was Bret Harte that she
wanted to learn about.
Cold Wave Stimulates Circulation
Requests for application card:
come to us every day from person:
who have never made use of the
library before. We welcom thesi
new readers and offer them th<
best we have. Last week the lib
rary suppl:ed 429 books and magazines
for home use, an averagf
daily circulation of seventy-one anc
a half. The highest circulatior
nn Rutnrrfnv whpn it reached
116. Ninety bocks were borrowed
on Monday. Mid-week days seen
less popular for reading. We hav<
added forty-eight books durinf
January. Twenty-six books hav<
been given us; we bought twenty'
two. Two of the books donatec
were memorial volumes, and ne<J
books, given in memory of Mr
William Bell. Many of the other
are not more than a year off th<
press. We are indebted to Mrs. C
E. Jackson for a copy of "By Wa;
of Cape Horn," given in memory o
Mr. Bell.
New Books Received
Again we acknowledge our hi'
debtedness and extend our heartj
thanks to Mrs. John H. Carlisle
Passaic, N. J., for a fine collectior
of books received last week. Las'
spring Mrs. Carlisle sent this lib'
rary?which she has never visitedanother
fine collection which wi
have found most useful. Many o
our best books have come unsolicit
ed to us from friends of our friend:
who are making their homes norti
of the Mason and Dixon line, o
whose business takes them North a
frequent intervals. Mrs. Carlisl
has come to know us through Mar;

Captain Clark, another frieni
whose gifts have enriched this lib

HENRY WADSWOI
OF all Americans whose written
words have been deeply
engraved on our national mind
and heart, none has so strong a
hold on popular affection as
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
The work of the great poet was
diffused with a gentleness that
heightens its beauty.
He was in a profound sense
American. It was the folk story
of his, native land that inspired
him most eloquently, in immortal
narrative poems like "The
Courtship of Miles Standish,"
"Hiawatha" and "Evangeline."
The everyday affairs of his
everyday New England world are
reflected in little masterpieces
that have become a part of our
national tradition, like "The
Village Blacksmith." and "The
Children's Hour."
Longfellow was born at Portland,
Maine, on February 27,
1807, into a comfortably fixed
family. His life had the serenity
one finds in his songs. After
graduating Bowdoin College, he
travelled for a year, then filled
the chair of modern languages

at the same college. As soon as
he found economic independence
in writing he gave up teaching
to devote himself only to poetry.
Unlike the poets of tradition,
T.nno-fellniv attained immense
popularity and a comfortable income
in his own lifetime. He was
always accessible to aspiring
young men, and his career was of
a piece with his work in its noble
j lines.
When he died at the age of 75
?in Cambridge, Mass., where he
had passed most of his mature
life?he had won himself a permanent
place in our history.
Wherever an American Hall of
Fame exists, there the benign
features of Longfellow are to be
j found. Poet, humanitarian, patriot?his
memory is honored in
tablets and monuments throughout
the land.

Jesus Enlists Helpers. e
Lesson for February 2nd. Luke 5: *
-1-11.
Golden Text: Luke 5:11.
We are impressed, as we study J
Jesus seeking followers, with Hie fact ?
that most of the disciples were com- "
monplace men. What the Master
did was to inspire these ordinary j
individuals to glorify their mediocre i
attainments. So Feter, James, John, ;
Andrew and the rest were emboldened,
despite their lowly origin and !
slender gifts, to conquer a world. j
A. C. Benson wrote that the !
world's best work is to be found m j
"humble and individual ministries \
performed in a corner without tan- \
gible rewards." Such was the type j
of service rendered by the apostles j
in the primitive days of the Chris- I
tian movement. Their major work |
was dene behind the scenes, and its f
influence was distinctly limited. But j
it was none the less impressive for >
all that. For a great historical ;
movement like Christianity must !
progress through individual con- i
tacts. William James, that most j
inspiring thinker, pointed out the ji
significance of the invisible, molecular,
moral forces that operate j
from individual to individual.
?
We must never forget that ordi- j
? stsvrvtmrvnrilnn.p fiPPdS
iiciry men auu ?
induce plenetary repercussions. 'St.
Paul is a striking illustration. A
relatively obscure figure who
founded a few struggling churches
of little influence, he is now cons'dered
one of the greatest Christians
who ever lived. For a modern
parallel consider Kagawa, that
devoted and dynamic champion of
the social gospel in Japan. An illegitimate,
unwanted child, he was
left to the care if relatives who did
not love him. No one imagined
that he would ever amount to any- ?
thing. Yet tcday he is a mighty |
power for the Christian Cause both jj
in his own land and in America *
