Most country boys have so
mucti in common that they al
most have a language all their
own. Take, lor instance, a
“wash-hole” —a Saturday night
scrub in a number 2 wash-tub,
or riding a mule or horse piggy
back, branch wading, or’ as
some people say, wading a ford.]
1 could go on naming them, but
many people would not know,
what I was talking about.
I remember when I was a boy i
living on the farm, we really'
had a big time. The first rain !
in May was the time for us to
get wet. I was told that if you
got wet by rain in May you
would not be sick during the]
Summer. I don’t know howi
true it was, but this boy always]
took advantage of the Spring
shower and got wet the first
chance he could. ’
Then I would head for the (
branch and go wading. That
was more fun than making an |
old cat leave home. Maybe you (
have never tried that, but it’s
lots of fun, too.
Another thing, have you ev
er ridden a horse or mule piggy,
back without a saddle? I didn (
know what a saddle was until
1 was grown. We rode without
them. That is if the animal
was in any condition to rid
that way. I remember very
painfully a few that were not
We had an old mule named
“Queen” that seemed to know
that if she didn’t get fat, she
wouldn’ have to mess with us
boys. We walked rather than
ride h'er.
Then those Saturday night
scrubs. They came around so
often, especially in winter time.
No running hot water —we got
out the old number 2 washtub
for that scrubbing. That was
just as regular as Saturday
came, and most if the time it
was too regular for us. Bath

tubs just didn’t come into style
soon enough for us country
boys. When I saw my first one,
1 didn’t know what it was un I
til someone told me it was some-]
thing to get the Saturday night
scrub in. Boy, it was really,
I something to get into a lot of
i water like that. You could al-].
I most lay down and take a nap
;in it. It looked as if you were 1
! wasting a lot of water, too.
j All this sounds foolish now,
j but we enjoyed those good old
i days. We are glad, though’ for
i our present advancement, for I
i would hate, as big as lam now,
i to have to get into a number 2
i wash tub again.
I There is one thing 1 men
1 tioned that 1 haven’t said much
1 about —the community “wash-
I hole”. We boys searched the
1 creek banks for years to find it,
1 then it was the center of at
: traction for several meetings
I each week. Now when I think
of it lam reminded of a real
Biblical truth. j
We didn’t have a modern
spring-board. We only had an
old, nubby tree cut off and tied i
down to spring form. It wasn’t |
much, but we could get into
the water with a nice splash.
We have a spring board of
sered us in our Bible with
ference to the best life. It is
Prayer. Prayer is the spring
board of real life. You can tell
when you come in contact with
people if they have been with
the Father. Christ said, “Enter
thou into your closet and shut
the door.” That is a good way
to say, get on the spring
board of life —Prayer and
dive into the depth of real liv
ing with God. We cannot prac
tice Christian living without
Prayer. We also can say that
the strength of the Church is
in the Prayer-life of its mem-
