Something to
Think About
bj F. J. irjLK$R
BETTER THAN COLD
poll ages It 1
of the larger proportion of earth-1
lings to bow to the yellow gd of gold
and worship It, overlooking In their In-
sane Idolatry the wondrous, enduring ,
riches thnt lie at their feet, disregard-!
ed and trudden down. '
Children come Into the world with
shining ryes and laughter on their ,
lips. They are at blithesome as birds I
In the springtime until they are taught j
by their purenft to look reverently
upon the cold fuce of the god of nuiiu-
mon.
Then comes a change In their speech ,
and deportment. The little rich child
Is Instructed to look with disfavor up-)
on the little poor child, so a sharp line
of distinction Is drawn between them
and each goes bis or her way, un
friendly towards each other.
A bitterness springs up In their
hearts. As the years rome and go. It
grows to pride, disrespect and hate.
Then follow the oftreMuted tales of
history strife, war, bloodshed, tears
and sorrowingstales that have been
told over nifd over with rancor since
the creation of man.
The happiness which the children
knew Is crushed to death beneath the
ponderous weight ot gold. The rare-
free laughter w hich they brougl4 with
them hns flown away beyond their
rea'ii, and they have become hard
faced and sordid, like the rest of ot.
thinking and dreaming mostly of
earthly wenlth and power.
There are some noble spirits, how
ever, who scornfully turn their backs
upon the false god, refusing to bow
down to It or admit Its supremacy.
These are the salt of the earth,
whose saving substance may redeem
the Idolaters.
You will find them among the faith
ful, the charitable, and big lipiirted.
working earnestly for the betterment
of mankind, unmindful of riches, for
getful of everything else eicei.t the
life In which gold loses Its value In the
august presence ot character and di
vine possibility.
Are we among these fuitliful ones,
or are we cownrds?
Io we tremble In terror at the
monstrous god of wealth. Its pomp and
splendor snd power, or do we, Ilk the
faithful, consider It merely a myth ot
time, doomed to banishment with the
oncoming dawn of eternity?

O
BIG BROTHER
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH $
w
MY brother's bigger, lots, than me.
I think It's nice, you will agree,
Although he's big, tho way he plnyi
With me, at least on rainy days,
lie's eight and I am only Ave,
And he can swim, and almost dive.
And do a lot of other things
That I can't do, with water-wings,
lint ha and I we romp and run
And have mi awful Jot of fun.
I'm little, but It's all the same,
long as ho ran pick the game.
My brother's bigger, big and strong,
And yet we ulwnys gut along,
As long as I will try to do
The thins that brother wants me to.
When there Is no one else around
To piny with, then ho digs the ground
And builds me cnstles big and grand,
As long as I will bring the sand.
And horse Is something else we piny
lot of times, most ev ry day.
Me likes to pluy with me; of course
He does If I will be the borie.
