THE WAVES
What are the wild waves
saying,
Sister, the whole day ions:,
That ever amid our playing
I hear but their loV,
playing
I hear but their low, lone
sng?
Yes! but there's something
greater
That speaks to th heart
alone:
'Tis the voice of the great
Creator
Dwells in that mighty
' Tone.

A Georgia farmer once wrote
to his local newspaper asking
' What the Sam Hill is the matter
with my chickens? Every morn
ing I find one or two of them
keeled over and cold as a brick."
To which the obliging editor re
plied: "They're dead, pardner-
they're dead."
KICKING AS A NATIONAL
INSTITUTION
R. E. Hardison,
Morgan, Ore.
Dear Brother Harbiaon:
I read with much interest and
no little surprise your letfer in the
last issue of the Independent on
"Kicking as a pastime".
This letter of yours, like your
fish in the market, awakened a
train of recollection. But, oh,
how different! Before I proceed
further however I must announce
the text and my text is found in
'Acts 9:5 and the words are these:
"It is hard for thee to kick."
Having now our text. Brother
Harbison, let us to our onions.
Kicking is more than a pastime.
It is an institution. It is an instit
ution hoary with antiquity an''
well fortified by precedent as i
shown by the fact that it was re
corded, long before New Testa
ment times, Deut 32:15, thai
Jeshurun waxed fat and kicked.
Please note that the waxing fat
preceeded the kicking which
would seem to indicate that in old
times the better people were off
the harder they kicked, and in
deed this is not without its mot',
ern illustrations.
Once upon a time I was employ
el on a farm in a capacity that
brought me into very intimate
contact with the bovine element
of the agragarian population.
One day my employer, a very
kindly Chrutian man, directed
me to bring a young cow in from
the field, put her in the s'.able
and milk her, and it so happened
that I was bringing the cow in
just as he was driving thro 'gh
the irate behind a high steeping
andalusian or maybe it was a
hamt'letonian ar.d 1 remembered
afterward that he gave me very
sunny smile.
. Well I put the cow into the
stable, seized a one legged miik
stool in one hand and a milk pail
in the other and, with the confi
dence born of long experience,
proceeced with the milking, but
not very far. Did she kick? I'll
say she did. She kicked me out
of the sta'l, kicked the stocl
through a window, flattered the
pail against a post and kicxed
three boards out of the stable
wall. Well I recovered from the
surprise and ignominy of defeat
and bringing to bear the needed
machinery of restraint, I followed
the boss's instructions.
In the evening I said, do vou
know that cow is a kicker? Well
he said 1 knew she always had
betn. You may say that the eow
didn't gain anything by kicking,
and it may be so but I remember
that I always treated her with
great respect from that time on.
Kicking is not only an ancient
and honorable institution but
one that is consecrated by the
conceited conduct of all gener
ations of Americans from the
very beginning down to the pre
sent time.
But I am especially concerned
to note that you easily pass from
the condemnation of the institu
tion to aiming the barbed shafts
f yours with ridicule at the
treat modern exempears of the
irt of kicking, the politicians.
Really Brother Harbison I am
il led with wonder and concern.
After this 1 shall not be surpris-
id to hear that you have for
iworn mince pie and fried chick
n.
You may have some who agree
with you as to politicians, ' but
not all, Brother Harbison.
I am sure that our editor will
tay that the true sentimet.t is
rather expressed in this para'
phrase of a song of our childhood
Jays:
How dear to my heart is the
thought of election
As anticipation presents it to
view;
The platform, the speech and the
add in connection,
The good politician who always
comes through.
The good politician
The brave politician
The kind politician who always
comes through.
A statesman ia naught bnt a
dead politician
Whose plans are preserved in
the laws of the land
And those who have . hope of a
better condition
Should now with their chosen
in politics stand.
The bold politician
The true politician
1 he wise politician just now in
the land.
How joyous and bright is his
smile as he meets us,
How hearty and firm is the
grasp of hand,
How pleasant the tinkle of silver
that greets us
As we sit the platform on
which he will stand.
The wise politician
The good politician
Our own politician who now
takes the stand.
sincerely yourn,
The Village Preacher
