PRAYER a boy's Hfe
Almost the whole population of a
little New England village met In
the old white-painted churcn on
night last week to pray for the life
of a little boy. Our doctor's seven
year-old son had been five weeks in
the hospital at the county seat.
Word had come that the specialists
had given up hope.
"Can't anytning be done?" some
one asked. "Hie child is in the
hands ef God," was all the doctor
could say. "Then let's try Ocd,"
said Mr. White, the minister.
Or a Dubois, at the telephone ex
change, called up everybody on the
farmers' lines. "Come to the church
tonight, to pray for Billy Persing!"
By word of mouth the call ran
through the village. That night thej
church was crowded, and no more!
fen'ent prayers ever rose to the
Throne of Grace than went up from
that little country town.
Next morning good news came
from the hospital. The boy seemed
better. Next day they said he had
a chance. The third day. a decided
improvement. Another day out
of danger!
Do our New England folk still
believe in the power of prayer? We
hear much of the decline of the an
cient faith of our fathers. It is
still a living force, up here in Berk
shire.
FAITH today
I know a surprisingly large num
ber of people who tell me that they
have found courage to face the eco
nomic disasters that have befallen
them, and peace of mind such as
they have never known in pros
perous times, through a renewal of
their faith in Divine Providence.
Not only are the
larger in the churches of all sects,
but non-sectarian groups and cults
are drawing greater numbers to
hear the simple Gospel message.
I saw hundreds turned away for
lack of room, not long ago, at one
of the tri-weekly religious meetings
in the grand ballroom of one of
New York's largest hotels. I know
one woman who draws hundreds to
hear her "inspirational" talks on
Friday afternoon.
These people are seeking help to
adjust their minds and spirits to
the realities of Ifie. Many of them
are suceeding, and they are the
only really happy people I know.
YOUTH experience
Whenever I hear someone declar
ing that there is one sure way to
set everything right, my first in- i
quiry is: "How old are you?" The
surer he is that he has discovered
the panacea, the younger he is
likely to turn out to be.
As one gets older, he is not so
■flure that the world needs a com
plete remodelling, nor that it would [
be the better for being "done over",!
even if that were possible.
I am constantly being reminded |
of a remark of Dr. Benjamin
Jowett, the famous "Master of
Balliol," to one of his graduating
classes at Oxford.
"Even the youngest of you," he
said, "is not infallible." , '
POLITICS ...... this fall
The Presidential Campaign of
1936 is already under way. The
preliminary skirmishes will be a
the "odd-year" elections this Fall.
On the outcome of such village,
town and county elections the na
tional elections may possibly hinge
next year. All other things being
equal, the party that has the best
and msot far-reaching organization
stands the better chance of victory.
Party organization must begin at
the grass-roots. The party with
the most men in local public offices
has the strongest organization.
The odds are always with the
"ins". It always takes a pretty
deep and widespread change in pub
lic sentiment to oust whichever
party happens to control the jobs.
QUALITY or price?
Mario Raspuzzi was cutting the
hay on my lower meadow the other
day, when the tongue of the mower
broke off. The oak shaft had rot
ted at the bolt-holes, I called up
the hardware store in Great Bar
rington, eight miles away and
found they had a tongue in stock
for that make of machine, already
bored for the bolts.
When Mario brought back the
new tongue, however, instead of be
ing oak—or ash, which is better —
it proved to be Just a stick of Ore
gon pine.
"That's all they're making 'em of
now," the dealer explained when I
"squawked" over the telephone.
"Quality doesn't count any more—
only price. Farmers want cheap
goods—and I'm telling you, they're
getting 'em. That tongue'll last
you two—three years, anyway."
The old one had seen 20 years of
service.
I've been wondering ever since,
whether most of the goods we buy
these days aren't in the same class
as the new mower-tongue—made to
sell cheap and wear out quickly.
