THE AWAKENING OF
THE GIANT.
Following is an address de-
livered by Rev. J. A. Sage at
the Methodist Church on Sun-
day, February 11.
Far back in those days when
the stream of history finds its
source in the dim regions of
the Beginning of Things, En-
celadu8 was one of these giants
who fought with the Gods. To
punish this awful monster,
Jupiter laid him low with a

We look on other nations as
the old nations, but when the)
gray dawn of * M3tory first
chased the shadows from the
nese people is their ability to
act as a whole and to respond
to a movement in a body.
When an idea becomes fixed
in the minds of the Chinese
populace they proceed at once
to put that idea into effect.
China for a while fought the
advent of the railroads and

periority to the front of world
empires. That little nation

Greece went down beneath
the invincible Macedonian
phalanx. Alexander the Great,
at the head of the Macedonian
Empire moved across the face
of history like a blazing
meteor across the sky and
then Macedonia was made to
pass beneath the Roman yoke.
Rome, the eternal city, stand-
ing on her seven nills, built up
a civilization that seemed des-
tined to rule the world for-
ever, and the eagle of the Cae-
sars spread his haughty wings
over the known world. But
today the Roman -tongue Is
only a dead language, and
Rome points to the ruins of the
Coliseum, the Appian Way,
and her Forum as the only re-
minders of her pristine glory.
One by one the nations of
earth have shone forth from
out of the great dome of time,
lighted the pages of history for
a while, and then as burned-
out cinders were thrown
onto God's ash-pile of the Em-
pires. All this time the Giant
has slept on, knowing nothing
and caring nothing for the rise
and fall of nations.
Notwithstanding a great
citizenship, a myriad popula-
tion and a wealth of history,
China has never stood at the
forefront among the great
world powers. Napoleon laid
his finger on the trouble whpn
he said, “Th4re lies the Giant."

1 stood, one afternoon, in
the door of a cabin in the
midst of a great pine forestand
watched the dark clouds as
they scudded across the sky,
marshaling as a mighty army
for battle. Low mutterigs of
thunder and occasionaldartsof
lightning seemed as the firing
of distant artillery. The storm
cloucKgrew thicker and black-
er. Tae “cross-blue darts of
heaven/’ grew more frequent,
and ths^thunder rolled and re-
verberated in the great woods.
The breeze quickened Into a
wind, then into a tempest, and
came roaring through the trees
like the onward rush of a
charging army. Suddenly
with a roar and a blinding
glare And the downpour of
rain, the storm broke full upon
us, and the trees rocked and
swayed like mighty kings and
princes in battle pressed. Now
and then above the roar of the
tempest could be heard the
crash of a falling tree as some
giant of the forest was up-
rooted and hurled to the
ground, while the fall of dead
j timber was heard on every
side. The storm ceased. The
clouds parted and through
the rfft shone the sun. He

FOR THEIR NEIGHBORS
The hardest housekeeping
in the world is the housekeep-
ing that people do fo rtfieir
neighbors. Half of the troub-
les we have are caused by wor-
rying over what people think.
What difference does It make
what they think, anyway?
No one can live his own life
and two or three other people's
lives besides. What's the use
of setting up housekeeping on
the roof or on the outside
walls for the benefit of the
neighbors? You would right-
ly be judged insane if you sug-
gested anything of tho kind,
and that Is practically what
half of the people do. They
can’t do this because the
neighbors would talk, and
they can’t do that because the
neighbors wonder If they can-
not afford to do something
else. They may not say It in
so many words, but they mean
it. and it is simply a great big
vacuum in some of our natures
where moral courage ought to
be. Half the sting of poverty jn<r> * ,»/;
