PREPARING TO BE PRESIDENT.
' ou can’t keep them down on the farm always
—such men as Warren G. Harding and Calvin Cool
idge. Each was born to hard work, and knew what
it was to wear old clothes, to toil through long hot
hours, and to go without things a boy’s heart yearns
for. Each felt an urge to go higher, an aspiration
to something better than'a life of drudgery. So do
all boys, but not all seek the only way that is open.
Harding at the printer's case, Coolidge in the
tobacco field, each was busy at his work, with eyes
fixed on the days to come, translating dreams into
reality by the age-old process of patient industry.
When Harding was married, he had a job and that
was all; when Coolidge was married he had permis
sion to practice law, but no practice. Each had
courage, though, and the women they wedded had
both courage and faith. Such a combination can not
be beaten in this world.
It was not a happy turn of fortune’s wheel that
landed either of these men in high places. Steady
plugging, careful attention to business, a foresight
that could distinguish opportunity and take advan
tage of it, but above all the infinite industry that
kept everlastingly at it. Many a time the routine
rauat have seemed like a grind to each of them, just
aa it does to every other worker, and perhaps they
were discouraged now and then, just as all men be
come when they are dead tired. Yet each taking
of stock showed they were progressing, and when
the call came they were ready.
Harding went to the White House by way of the
Ohio legislature; he was lieutenant governor and
senator from Ohio, just because he had qualified
himself for the jobs, and made good on them in turn.
Coolidge was solicitor for the little town in which he
lives, was a member of the town council, went to
the legislature, became lieutenant governor and then
governor of Massachusetts, and when he was nomi
nated to be vice president it was known that he pos
sessed all the equipment for the high office to which
he is now called.
This is an old, old story, repeated In tha lives
of most of our presidents. Not only that, but the
great men in industry and commerce, in professional
and business life, all show the same record. In
America every one has a chance at the highest place,
the greatest honor, the richest reward. These things
are not obtained by yearning or longing for them,
nor by faith without work*. And, if everyone can
not be president, there is much satisfaction in get
ting ready. As old Cato is quoted saying to his pupil:
Tis not In mortals to command success,
Hut we'll do mors, Sempronlus—we'll deeerre ft.”
LITTLE PICTURES.
The canvases which require a great room for
their display are not the only masterpieces in the
world's art galleries, but many that have been the
wonder of the ages are done on a canvas so small
(hat a child could carry them. N(»r are all the mas
terpieces of nature to be found in the awe-inspiring
view from some mountain top, nor in the sweep of
» mighty river. But there are many little pictures,
part of the scenes of every day, which are dearer
lo you than the more stupendous one could ever be.
It may be just a glimpse of purple hills and wind
ing river seen from your window, but you have
come to love it for the inspiration it bring* you
whenever you look upon it. When the cares of a
busy day press the hardest, and you long for the rest
you dare not take, then you "lift up your eyes to
♦ he hills,” and you are strengthened for your task
because of their message of calmness and courage.
Or it may be a little picture, frarfied by the
branches of the trees, which you love to remember
long after it has faded from your vision. In the
pale light of the moon the roofs of the neighboring
houses lose their grim harshness and stand outlined
with gold against the clear blue of the sky. The
clouds, white or gray, according as the light fails
upon them, float slowly by, and the changing light
and shadow gives the scene a touch of beauty un
dreamed of if you viewed it only in the glaring light
of day.
Thus the little pictures, made up of the familiar
things of the everyday, becomes the dearest of all
to us when we have learned to find their hidden
beauty.
DID YOU EVER TRY THrS?
Of course it is delightful to board the family
automobile in the cool of the evening and take a
spin over the boulevards and country roads. And it
is delightful to take a whole day’s journey by auto
mobile, pausing in some shady spot for luncheon.
But did you ever leave the family auto in tha gar
age, don your walking shoes and proceed to take a
hike “over the hills and far away”? Over hills that
j no auto can climb, butr which give a new lest to tha
j life of the pedestrian who climbs them; through
shady groves where the trees are too close to permit
the passage of an auto; past the cold spring that lies
in the mossy hollow; across the foot bridge that
spans the noisy little creek, and up again and over
the hill that lies just beyond I
Well, if you have not done Just that very thing
since the hot spell began, you have misaed one of
the real treats of summer. And thie treat la fol
lowed by another one. After you have' returned
Ihome from the hike, the appetite that demands your
attention is something that money can not buy, and
which is vastly different from the appetite produced
I .• lolling back on the soft cushion of an auto while
gasoline does the work. No, sir! Money could
not buy the hike-inspired appetite, and It takes
real money to provide the wherewithal to satisfy it.
Science tells us that the continued disuse of an
.■igan finally results in its disappearance. If this is
Hue, this country of ours is in danger of becoming
r. nation of individuals with withered and useless
legs, who will have to be hoisted into and out of
iheir ears by the aid of derricks. Partly to obviate
that threatened danger, but more chiefly from a de
sire to show its readers how to really enjoy them
selves now and then, The Omaha Bee suggests these
summer hikes “over the hills and far away.”
If some of the local floods could only he con
nected up with the California forest fires, much
good would eome to all.
The law of supply and demand still runs, but

“WALK HUMBLY WITH THY GOD. ”
Not without reason, though probably with no
thought of the fact, the minister chose one of Theo
dore Roosevelt’* favorite texts to read as part of
the ceremony for Warren G. Harding at the capitol
on Wednesday. Micah may have been speaking to
his people directly, but in reality he addressed all
the world of men, then and now, when he spake:
"He hath shown thee. O man. what Is good; and
what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do Justly,
and to lov* mercy; and to walk humbly with thy
God.”
Theodore Roosevelt, earnest, sincere, impulsive,
a leader of men by his virile, dominant force that
beat down all obstacles and was so impatient of op
position, walked humbly before God. So did Warren
G. Harding, and so has every president whoever oc
cupied the White House. Stern men have been
among them, strong men and men who have felt the
gust and sweep of hot passion, but not one but
acknowledged himself to the Maker and Ruler of All
Men.
“The Lord is my shepherd,” that softly consol
ing thought of David, and “though I walk through
the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no
evil,” is the comfort of those men who have taken
up the great burden of care and responsibility and
carried it unflinchingly, even though that way led to
the entrance of the Valley. All our national life is
illuminated by the thought of our great leaders walk
ing humbly before God. Washington knelt in the
snow at Valley Forge, and gained from his approach
to the throne of grace fortitude to carry on and
come to victory at last. Abraham Lincoln on his
knees asked for strength and wisdom to lead him
through his great trial, and his sorely vexed soul was
sustained to the very end.
Impetuous soldiers, like Jackson; sturdy, up
standing soldiers like Grant; gentle Christian men,
like Garfield; philosophers, like Jefferson and Wil
son; earnest men of affairs,'as Madison, Cleveland,
Taft; popular idols, like Roosevelt, and calm, patient
men, like McKinley and Harding, have filled the
high office, swaying power and authority unsurpassed
in their time. Around them have blown the bitter
winds of politics, the acid corrosion of opposing am
bition* have scorched them, and men whom they had
trusted have betrayed that trust. Disappointment
ha* come to them, their plans have been thwarted,
their efforts to serve turned aside, for even the
greatest of mortals must taste this cup. Yet through
it all, these men felt that humility of soul and con
viction of right whereby they could meet that require
ment of the old prophet to do justly, love mercy, and
walk humbly with God.
No feature of American life is finer than this,
that the men who have been selected as leaders of
the nation have been such as could realize what is
required of all who would truly succeed. Only be
cause deep down in the life of the nation is imbedded
the principle of sincere religion can this be said.
Folly exists, and frivolity, waywardness and wicked
ness, but they are merely the foam that breaks
along the beach, or the light waves that stir the shal
lows. Beyond them is the deep surging water that
is never stilled, and never stirred save by the
mightiest of commotions, and underneath those
depths is the soul of America.
“If, drunk with eight of power we looee
Strong* tongues that have not Thee In nv —
Such boastings as the Gentiles use
And lesser breeds without the law—
For frantlo boast and foolish word*.
Thy mercy on Thy people. Lord.”

AROUND THE CAMP FIRE.
There are magic hours. Sunrise in the moun
tains or on the lake. In a wood after a rain, when
all the birds break into a rainbow of harmony. Just
before sundown on a country road where the rab
bits break from cover and small life passes with fleet
foot across the path. But, best of all, because of
its human relationships, is the hour of the comp tire.
During the day those in pursuit of vacation hap
piness scatter, fishing, swimming, hiking, riding,
driving or loafing with a book. At the end, how
ever, the pleasures of solitude wear off, and they
are glad to unite around the dinner board.
But it is not until dusk, when the pyramid of
logs in the center of the camp is lighted, that the
pleasures of human companionship really begin. The
old songs ring and the joy of the present is mingled
with the memories of the past. Some one starts a
parody of a new song, and rest is given to the jolly
scene by its references to ways and happenings about
the camp. Perhaps there is a girl who can recite
ona or two of Paul Lawrence Dunbar’s ballads of
southern life, or a man who swells his chest with the
outdoor verse of Robert Service. Re sure that be
fore the camp fire melts to ashes these will come,
and that from the shadow’s another will draw a banjo
or guitar.
There are many pleasures In a vacation, but no
holiday is rounded off without the hearty comrade
ship of a group about the fire.
While our democratic friend* are predicting dire
disaster to the national republican ticket next year

While Henry Ford is trying to produce flivvers

Out of Today's Sermons
At the Lowe Avenue Presby
terian church on Sunday morning
Rev.'A. F. Ernst, the pastor, will
have for his text I Chronicle*,
xxii. If, and will say;
King David desired to build a house
unto the name Jehovah his God, but
was not permitted to do so. He pre
pared much silver and gold and ma
terials In abundance. When he was
70 years old and his end had come,
ho spake to his son, Solomon, say
ing: “In my affliction I have pre
pared for the house of Jehovah . . .
and thou mayest add thereto." Each
one should add to the good works of
those who had prepared before.
We should appreciate what has
been done by others. IVe enter into
their labors. We are heirs of the
past. The young people in our homes
should appreciate what parents have
prepared for them. Pupils In our
schools cannot overestimate the value
of books and buildings and equipment
made ready for them. Church mem
bers should ever keep in mind the
work of those who have gone on be
fore.
We should add to what has been ac
complished. We do this by continuing
on the plans of our predecessors. No
one Is ever permitted to do all of a
work. We should fall In with the
Divine purpose and carry on toward
completion. Wre should add to the
plans of others as we get better and
broader visions. Let each add a part
"Build thou more stately mansions,
oh my soul." Let us live the posi
tive life. “Do” should be a bigger
word In our vocabulary than “don’t.”
We should transmit what we re
ceive with Increment. If we hide ovyr
pound in a napkin and fall to add to
it, the world will not grow richer
and better.
Rev. C. A. Segerstrom, pastor
of the First Swedish Baptist
rliurch, Thirty-fourth and Burt
streets, will have for his subject
tltis evening “Service,” and will
say:
Service is the key word to our
very existence. Hence we dislike the
lazy person, who thinks the world
owes him or her a living without giv
ing any service in return. We hope
the time will come when the million
aire's son, who produces nothing, will
be considered a parasite on human
ity aa much as the professional
tramp who cheats his way through.
Service is a word originated In
heaven. Jesus said. "My Father work
eth hitherto, and I work," Joh. 6:17.
The Holy Spirit Is constantly working
"convicting of sin, righteousness and
Judgment.” When Jesus came to
this earth He tells us that He "came
not to be ministered unto, but to min
ister and even to give His life a ran
som for many.” Nek. 10:45. Of the
angels the apostle says:
“Are they not all ministering spir
its, sent fortlj to minister for them
who shall be heirs of salvation?”
Hebe. 1:14.
The Master taught His dtsoiplee
that true greatness can only be
found in service. Speaking about the
rulers among the gentiles exercising
lordship over others, he says: "But
so shall It not be among you, but
whosoever will be great among you
shall be your minister, and whoso
ever of you will be ehlefest shall be
the servant of all.” Mark 10:42 44.
Giving ourselves to service we find
ourselves "For whosoever will save
his life shall lose It; but wvhosoever
shall lose his life for my My sake
and the gospel's, the same shall save
It." Mark 8:35. We speak now of
service done In the Lord, when "the
love of Christ constrains us ” The
maniac, whom Jesus healed, was told
to go and t»!l what God had dons for
him "And he went his way snd
published throughout the whole city
how great things Jesus had
done unto him ” Luke 8 3* Stag

Service is satisfying The gTea*
satisfaction at the end of a day well
spent Is in itself a great, reward
Time wasted Is painful and a great
loss to the ambitious soul. He knows
that nlvhf comerh, when no one can
serve. True Joy can he had only by
the wav of usefulness. Jesus ss:d:
My meat is to do tha will of Him
that sent Ate and to finish His work."
Joh. 4 34. Nothing gave Alary. Mar
tha and Iji7arus such Joy as to
minister to the want# of Jesus. The

"Inasmuch as ye have done It unto
one of the least of these brethren, ye

give away." We may sometimes
grow weary in well doing because of
some hurdships that we meet. Let us
not forget, however, that "they that
sow in tears shall reap in Joy. He
that goeth forth and weepeth, bear

come again with rejoicing, bringing

Rev. Albert Kuhn, pastor of tha
Bethany Presbyterian chureli, has
chosen as theine for his morning's
sermon, "Watch Your Tongue.”
He will say:
The misuse of the tongue is evi
dently an old falling in humanity. It
is one that not only the Binners but
the saints may well guard against.
When the Apostle JameH says of the
tongue: "It is an unduly evil, full of
deadly poison." he had In mind not
only the tongue of hia heathen con
temporaries. but also, and more par
ticularly, that of his converted fel
low Christians.
It is bad enough if an avowedly
worldly person abuses his tongue; the
other day I spent an evening in a
little Canadian country hotel; ail was
quiet and peaceful and decent except
one guest, an old Scotchman under
the influence of whisky; his mouth
sputtered forth incessantly a stream
of silly twaddle, richly Interspersed
with the mention of God, Christ,
damnation and the inferno, so much
so that the hotel keeper, who did not
Impress me as any too religious,
tried to stop his profanity. How
often we meet folks Just like that
man and how quickly they stamp
themselves by tongue as coarse and
filthy characters.
Still worse it id when those who
profess the name of the Son of God
and declare themselves as His fol
lowers make of their tongue "an un
ruly thing, full of deadly poison."
And yet we all know how easy it is
for Christians to fall into this very
evil. Before they know It they do
the very thipg which James de
nounces in this chapter: They bless
God the Father, and with the same
breath run down man, made after the
image of God; they make of the
church an "association for mutual
slander;” they pay no heed to the in
junction of their Master: “Judge not,
that ye be not Judged." but judge
everyone of their acquaintances, be
ing careful to stress their failings and
negligent In the acknowledgement of
their good sides.
No mother likes a neighbor who
always finds fault with her children,
even if she Is aware that her children
are no angels; I believe God feels the
same way; if anything ever gets Him
peeved, it is this having to hear the
livelong day nothing but kicks about
His children.
Sweeten your tongues, dear friends;
In your conversations concerning
others stress the good, suppress the
evil; believe in the best there is in
any man and proclaim that best.
How much better reading our news
papers would make if the reporters
would for a year keep out of our
eight the stories ef murders and for
geries and divorce scandals and fill
the space with reports of deeds worth
while accomplished by our decent fel
low citizens.
An exrerpf of today's sermon by
Rev. R R. Brown, at Omaha fin*,
pel Tabernacle, follows:
Mows, as the representative of
God. wanted hs credentials, and In
response to his inquiry he received
the significant reply from God: "I am
that I am hath sent thee."
The names of Diety in the scrip
tures have been the object of severe
attacks by destructive critics, but
they have also been the source of
great spiritual truths to thoss who
reverently sought their meanings
For a careful study of ths names of
God shows a progressive revelation
of His person and His work. In
Genesis, rhapter 1. we have the word
in the original, "Elohlm.” which Is
really a plural name for God Hater.
In Genesis 17, in speaking of Himself,
He employs the title. Almighty God,
or "El shaddat." which means the
all sufficient or many-breasted God
This rather unusual title, "I Am."
naturally implies that He was and
that He is. God Is a seifexistihg
and a self propagating personality In
our present day concepttona we have
two outstanding groups; the first,
who denies the existence of a person
silty. properly called Pantheism: and
the second is comprised of those
would exclude God to His creaforship.
hut who would rob Him of H s right
in relation to the life and work of the
individual.
But as we study the progression of
the revelation of the "I Am" In the
Scriptures, we And It employed In the
New Testament by Jesus Christ In
John 8, where he declares Himself to
be the "I Am." This Immediately
throws a great flood of light upon the
person of Jehovah In the Old Testa
ment, as well as upon the truth of the
deity of Jesus Christ. Hs therefore,
claims for Hjmself pre existence and
deity. This t>elng true, we now have
In Christ a complete revelation of Ood
as a Saviour and as a Father. For
th# "I Am" in the New Testament
declares; "I am the light of the
world"—the source of the Illumina
tion. “I sm the way, the truth (funds
mental tonowledga of Oodl nnd life"
(the center and source of all of man's
spiritual needs How much more sat
Isfnctory Is this revelation than an
ultra modernistic conception that robs
Ood of His personality, and leaves
man with nothing but an Inanimate
Image rather than an ever-living, all
powerful personality with whom hs
may have fundamental, living fellow
ship and communion. Have you a
real Ood or a mud Ood?

“MODEL TENEMENTS.”
"The question of Improved dwell
ings for the poorer classes is engag
ing the attention of the public at
present to a greater degree than ever
before. The noble example of George
Peabody and the baroness Burdette
Coutts in London has not been wasted
and the alarming statistics by the
health officers in our crowded cities
are calling loudly for some prompt
ind effective action. A band of phil
anthropic New Yorkers have lately
organized themselves into a company
whose object it Is to build a number
of model tenements for the working
classes of the city which will be fur
nlshed with all the sanitary improve
ments of the age and will be at the

Imperial Cement Casket
Construction
THREE REASONS
Of course, there are many reasons which favor the purchase of an Imperial
t'emenf Constructed Casket, hut we want you to consider particularlv just
three of them : J J
Imperishable Nature—Great Beauty—Low Cost
IMPERISHABLE
For many years, yes, for centuries, experimentation and research has been
made for a practical substance which would successfully resist the elements of
the earth and insure the preservation and safe keeping of a person's remains
when finally laid away w ithin it. \\ e have met those requirements fullv in our
Imperial Cement Casket.
BEAUTIFUL
Imperial Cement Caskets are designed in State and Octagon stvle* eon
forming in general make-up to the better models in wood, bronze and steel.
The exteriors are covered in silk plush, broadcloth, velour, ote.. while the in
terior receives the same treatment as better caskets of the perishable kind.
LOW COST
As none of the details of construction are difficult or expensive beyond
corresponding grades of material of other lines, you thus find the Imperial
Cement Casket of that imperishable nature so much desired, but combined with
the full beauties of other construction at attractively low prices
We invite your inspection of a full line now on display in our show room*
If not convenient or desirable to call, we would like to have you phone or write
for booklet giving more complete details.
