habit of right thinking, right planning, and right conduct through a Period of a BCoro of years will convert a very ordinary personality into a mighty character. Sowing and Reaping We have Just passed through the season of sowing and reaping. We J know that if our field is not‘planted, we shall not gather an increase. We ' get nothing for nothing. But when > we sow in righteousness and truth, • we shall reap an accumulated harvest. For every bushel of wheat we sow. wo expect to gather many. And for every good we sow, we expect to gather increased nobility of character. The apostle Paul spoke a very great truth in his simple way when ■ he said "He that soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly; he that ' soweth bountifully shall also reap I bountifully." And the Master Teacher said: "Every good tree bringoth forth good fruit, and every evil tree ‘ bringeth forth evil fruit." These t truths are everywhere apparent. The nature world proclaims them daily, i and every human soul knows well I that as we sow, so shall we reap. "Here again we verify the content on that right thinking is creative. • But we have here added to right thinking the compound power of systematic toil, the sowing of the seeds • of diligence, perseverence, and tini ceasing effort. “He that soweth . bountifully shall reap bountifully." Powers and Possibilities ' “Why are wc so carefully guarded ‘ from the gaze of the world? Every “ person is a little world in himself. And he determines what he shall rei veal to his fellowmen. He lets very • few into the inner secrets of his Temple, for there are his sacred de--1 sires, loves and hopes, his plans and 1 purposes. On the other hand, the 1 world is Justified In its Judgments of I him. What we do and say reveal ’ what we think and are This is the i only outward contact we have with 1 our fellowmen, > “A babe is a mere bundle of possi- • bilities and untried powers, undevelI oped faculties. It has been said too I that everyone has been born at least twenty years away from himself. And no one knows what is wrapped up 1 within that garment of flesh. Out of I obscurity many have come up the highest places of honor. How little I those humble mothers and hard- • working fathers realized the great--1 ness of the child they were caring 1 for. They rocked him to sleep, sang ' to him, spanked him. scolded him, • loved him and treated him with Just 1 ordinary attention. They made him do chores ami run errands. They treated him as though he were a very ordinary soul born for common I drudgery. Little did they know they were training a Gladstone, a Shakespeare. a Ruskin, a Lincoln, a Beech1 I er. or a Calvin Coolidge. They didn't 1 know they were feeding a Raphael or ■ an Emerson. And if they had known, i they might have .polled u future 1 genius. “I suppose that every mother wonders when she looks upon her little ■ helpless babe within her arms. Ten ■ thousand question* fill her mind, but 1 the child only smiles, and gives no ■ hint of future industry, art, or achievement. Nowhere else are pow era quite so carefully guarded. And t yet. through the unfolding processes ’ of right thinking, systematic toil, honest devotion, the soul of obscurity <MNa into the light to lighten the ' pathway of many others. ■Therefore, how we need the guid ance of the Eternal Goodness in all our ways, our thought*, and our Ideals OliWrt Cfi»m*eU expressed I it for many others when he said No one knows how high he will rise, unI til he steps into the chariot of God. and yields to those divine messeng •ri who hoi the reins. 'Reek God first and Hl* Truth and ye shall know the way. and the life.' •■The Creative Power of Right Thinking* Is «•> eternal reality. may we rise step by step into th* higher realms of service to the Glory of God. »»*« “> “••' happiness of our fellowmen.” Following I* the da«* roll: WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP Pauline Amtrew&njcatur' " 6 .

Scout Leaders Gather At Culver For Training Culver. Ind.. June 7—Ruiy men. most of them engaged in Important walks of life, are coming to Culver this summer to taste again some of the fun of their boyhood days. Clergymen, public officials, and merchants are among those who have enrolled for the scout leaders* course which will be conducted by the Culver Summer Schools. The student scout leaders will follow in every detail of the life of the boy scout. They will endeavor to do their "good turn each day.” They will do the things boys as boys, do them so they may return to their homes better fitted to lead and teach their own scout troop* or those they expect to organize. The students will lie formed into a model patrol of thirty-two members, and will lie in charge of a patrol leader. They will live in camp, drill, study the stars, trees and plant life, learn to identify birds on the wing, do first aid, make a fire without matches, cook and the trial, manage a boat, and all the other thing* that the good scout leaders wish to be able to teach their young charges. The courses will each cover ten days of intensive instruction, calculated to give the students a fundamental understanding of scouting and boy leadership. There will be lecture* on compcraft, camp sanitation, troop organization and administration. The camping phase of scouting will be featured nnd lesson* in swimming and talks on water safety will be strewed. The course* are being given In the middle of the vacation season *o those who might otherwise be unable to attend may devote their vacation days to this study, which takes the students out of door* and keep* them , engaged in the favored vacation pursuit*. The first course will be held the last ten days of July and the second will follow immediately the first ten day* In August. — -o Onion Growers Lose Heavily From Winds Wet.* |j»ke. Indiana.
