WALKER wfipfei “BE NOT AFRAID" A fter you have recounted every enemy to mankind; after you have taken a census of all the evil* and their results, you will, if you rea­ son rightly, put at the fiend «f the Mrt and leading the whole procession, FEAR. . Fear 1* the handmaiden of Discour­ agement and together they have cre­ ated .greater destruction than any other ‘two factors in human life. Think over your own life hud see how many times you have been de­ terred from attempting something for fear you would fail ; for fear that that failure would bring upon you the de­ rision of those you knew, .The human family Is strangely muchmom willing to accept the warn­ ings of fear than the encouragements of confidence. Fear, attains Its greatest power and its most alarming proportions when the power of reasoning 1$ most Jtigh'y developed. - ■ - The Jellyfish, the earthworm, no one of the tower forms of life glye .evi­ dence of fear. Reasoning,' even if the reasoning Is false, Is as necessary to th beginning . of fear as it Is necessary to Its elimi­ nation, ' . Two kinds of things you fear—the things ydu cannot avoid and the- things which can he escaped. If the danger Is Inescapable the fear is obviously useless, If it can be overcome then the en- -trance of the element of fear only lessens our capabilities to establish our mastery. <Jhae Of the warnings which Jesus In Bis ministry frequently repeated was, "Re not afraid.” He applied |l to » score of differing situations and then almost always proved to His followers the baselessness of their apprehen­ sions. . One of the great mistakes of many parents Is that they tench their chil­ dren to be afraid,- You have, frequently heard a moth­ er or a father say: "If you do that the bogy roan will get you," instilling Into the heart of the child a belief-In something which does not exist and a fear which may never be quite ,erad) cated. Children should be taught, ns tar a? may be, to fear nothing, nud cer­ tainly in' their little minds there should not be built up those hjrror- s\r}klng unrealities which may per­ haps serve to keep thetn.from mischief but at altogether too great a cost- Nine-tenths of our fears, are with-, out sound foundation. if we reason out the situation, how. over, threatening It may appear, we. will nsunlly find A way to avoid the' danger. At any rate If we have got to fight let tis battle free-handed and not ham­ pered by alarm and dread. ' (© by MgClur* NeWspiuirr Syndicate.* ‘ LAUGH—BE HAPPY AT CHRISTMAS TIME I F IT were •possible, the Randal* would have been unhappy, because of the many reverses of the past year; a great loss by fire, sickness, too) and hospital bills, and many ol the misfortunes that come in a life­ time seemed to have come to .them the past year, To peep In on them, oi ' even to have listened In, would, have convinced any recluse that happiness was permeating the very ntmosphert of that home. “Now, James,” ,began Mrs. Randal Who didn’t resemble one who take* the “dally dozen" but proved the say tag, “Laugh and the world lauglu with you,” “I have laughed ut Marta'* letter until I am sick. All their money yet she says, she can't have a happ) Christmas because of our many re verses, and that they wouldn't thlnl of having any one in, and for us no’ to be too lonely. Welt, well, that sure ly (s funny—us not be foo lonely 1* Mrs. Randal burst out laughing again “Well, Rose, quit your laughing and read that letter, or tell It to me.” "Oh, James, to think of her being so unhappy over our loss when we don't even think about It. She always aces the 'Slough Of Despond'; nc wonder she's so skinny. Worrying about us! Jim, we've never had a happier Christmas. None of us has died yet; we still have our garage to live li. Christmas Is Christmas whether mr pocketbook be fat or lean." "“Yes, Rose,’ but Christmas doesn’t seem to be the same to the fat and lean, judging from your laugh and Marta’s sadness.” “ Say, James, let's have them down for Christmas nud show them what • wonderful time people can have living In tlielr garage. We can put them overhead In the servants' quarters— have to make use of It in some Way, for we may never be able -to afford another maid." “Bop to it, dear. You always do the proper stunt at the right time. 1 think we shall enjoy it, as you seem to enjoy the thought of it.” Mrs. Randal continued to laugh, and as Marta Was leaving, she. too, laughed nltd said: “Well, Rose, laugh- lug is catching; happiness, too, I sup- pose, I think we shall Htc in out garage next y<-ar-hot nearly so much wo tit, and truly—I've fioVer had a ! better tune.

T o think o f furs is to think of Bancroft’s, because o f our 76 years* experi­ ence and commanding position in the fur trade of Central Ohio. You can come to us expecting to find just what you want at a saving. So true is this that more than half our sales are made to Dayton, Columbus and smaller surrounding towns like Urhana, Bellefontaine, etc. W e are in constant touch with the New York markets and fashion’s edicts in furs are here as soon as the express can bring them. The fur business is not a side issue with us—we’ re fur specialists twelve months in the year. You will be waited upon by a man who can intelligently and honestly advise you and tell you what to expect in wear.
