SUMMERTIME
It was a dizzy old winter, with its
threatened outbreaks in Europe, and a hec
tic old spring, but this is the good old sum
mertime. Life is short and time is fleeting,
and why should we be always in a hurry and
nursing a perpetual worry ?
Last month we slipped into our B. V.
D.’s and this month we ought.to take a les
son from the weather and slip out of our
long accustomed mental traces and go dash
ing headlong to the open pastures, where
the June grass is lush and the birds are sing
ing as joyously as before the kaiser descend
ed upon Belgium, bringing in his wake such
a scourge of plagues as would have made
early Egypt appear a pleasant paradise by
comparison.
We’ve grown accustomed to look upon
life darkly. We have had wars and rumors
of wars. * We have known sufficiently of
evil and doubt. Our minds are weary of
the turmoil and the strife. We long for the
1 quiet ways we knew before the war. And
dame summer is knocking at the door and
bidding us cast dull care aside for a time;
is inviting us to forget our perplexities, toss
aside the problems that we have not been
able to solve and go a-summering.
And he is a wise man who will listen.
There is something in the season that de
mands relaxation. It is not by accident that
the railroads and the steamboat lines run
excursions from June to September; it is
not by chance that the seaside and mountain
resorts are in full blast then, that the schools
are closed and the playgrounds, open.
When the sun is high, the inclination to
mental effort is low. Even the farmer who
rejoices in the heat of summer pauses for
breath between the seasons of harvest and
fall plowing, and all the rest of us should
take the hint and do likewise.
It is summer again. The thermometer,
if not the almanac, proves it. Therefore, “a
fig for a care, a fig for woe; let the world
come, let the world go”—until fall breezes
blow.
THE CHURCH AND PROSPERITY
Prosperity is blamed for the lack of in
terest in our churches today. In the early
pioneer days our god-fearing—also Indian
fearing—preachers drove miles across wild
prairies to preach to the backwoods men in
a little log hut. Now people won’t walk
over a block to hear a well-educated preach
er . Money, and too many pleasures, have
driven the thought of Christ far back into
their minds.
We give money to the church, but do we
give it with as deep and humble a feeling
as the sacrificing pioneers did? No, we
give it, and think our duty’s done. While
our forefathers didn’t give such lavish gifts,
they did give gifts that came straight from
the heart. They were deadly in earnest, but
our thoughts and feelings are divided up
into too many parts. Pleasures lead.
The Senate recently passed a bill to give
the Indians and Eskimos of Alaska the land
now owned by them. The white man’s gen- (
erosity to the aboriginoes! i
