rywith us on the journey through a strange land. ITTIXG by the roadside, Smiling in the sun,(!j)\ Showing all his shining teeth, Round eyes full of fun;Happy in the sunshine At the hot noon how—Little pickaninny, With the big sun-flower. Sitting in the sunshine, Nothing on his backBut a sort of dingy shirt Fashioned from a sack;Not afraid hell spoil it In the sun or shower,Little pickaninny, With the big sun-flower. From the distant cabin Little feet have strayed—Sitting all alone there, Not a bit afraid.King of all his eyes behold, Innocence his dower,Happy pickaninny, With the big sun-flower. Talking to the blue-jays, Cooing at the toad,One of natures offsprings Sitting by the road.Lifes prevailing sweetness Has not yet turned sourLittle pickaninny, With a big sunflower. Who would be so wicked And cruel that he couldTake away the babys faith That everything is good?Knowing nothing evil, Free from Satans power,Little pickaninny, With the big sun-flower. Blasts From The Rams Horn.

The thought of Follys idle jeer,To coward-hearts, brings causeless fear;But he -who walks in Wisdoms light,Dares suffer all for God and Right. DARE TO DO RIGHT. I T never hurts truth aDy to be slappedin the face. No man can be truly brave who isnot trying to be truly good. Things around us will look better, if wefirst look overhead. Trials do not weaken us; they onlyshow us that we are weak. No man is any stronger than that inwhich he trusts for strength. Any army is strong enough for God,when it has no cowards in it. The shadow of a trouble is generallyblacker than the trouble itself. The world may kill Gods man, but itha9 never been able to hurt his truth. The Christian should never trust in ap-pearances to tell him which side is th<strongest , dangerous placethat he needs the The Christian is inwhen he does not feelhelp of Christ. It is the business of the Christian tostand against the wiles of the devil, evenif somebody does call him a crank. The only people who lose the battle
