AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
By Rev. L. M. Colfelt D. D.
After a rest of several years at my
country place Bedford, Pa., I receiv-
ed invitations to assume a charge of
Presbyterian churches at Portland,
Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, but
decided te accept a call to the West
Green Presbyterian church, Phila-
delphia, as being nearer my home
and less exacting in services requir-
ed. [ spent a happy half dozen years
with its people and succeeded in re-
viving it Tor the time. But the deadly
disease that has brought about the
dissolution of so many Protestant
churches in Philadelphia had reach-
ed its vitals. In spite of the sacri-
fices and the hearty cooperation of
the remnant of active workers, such
as the Beattys, Jeflries, Townsends,
Browers, Kennedys, Lambirths, and
Dr. Stewart; the church was dying of
slow strangulation from migration of
protestant families occupying homes
and their replacement by an apart-
ment system of temporary dwellers
of little or no value for the support
and upkeep of efficient church organ-
izations. 1 believe the church sur-
vived my departure but a few months
then closed its doors.
As many years were growing apace
and old age was now staring me In
the face I determined to “retire”
while my powers were yet unimpair-
ed and avoid even the appearance ol
“lingering superfluous on the stage.
Nothing appeared to me more hor-
ribe than for a preacher to wear out
his welcome by his congregation and
before their eyes; yet for thousands of
ministers to whom, what with the ex-
penses of living and claims of charity
rendering it impossible for them to
make provision for old age, it is but
a mournful alternative to prolong de-
pendence on their charges as long as
possible or to be turned out like a
horse too old to work, into the pasture
to die. A belated attempt is being
made by the Presbyterian church to
raise an adequate Pension Fund and
remedy this evil. All denominations
might well tear a leaf out of Cath-
olic history and custom in this respect
and imitate the humanity of that
body of Christians toward its super-
anuated ministers.
An incident that had occurred in
this connection confirmed me in my
decision. I once heard Henry Ward
Beecher declare the saddest sight he
ever beheld was that of his father, Ly-
man Beecher, the “warhorse” among
the preachers of his day, becoming
physically infirm, with piping voice
and nothing left but the wreck of a
once stalwart man and the memory
of his former eloquence. Yet he, him-
self, lived to repeat the spectacle and
the most pathetic sight I ever beheld
was Henry Ward Beecher, himself,
in his seventieth year, on the plat-
form of the Academy of Music, Phila-
delphia, with long white hair, totter-
ing limbs, and that puffiness of
cheeks that is nature’s death war-
rant, reading in a low-toned monoton-
ous voice a Eulogy of General Grant.
‘The contrast of this weak old man
betraying in every lineament and tone
the ravages of Time and the Boan-
erges that thundered from Plymouth
Pulpit and shook the nation was un-
endurably painful. 1 registered a
vow then and there that I would rath-
er go to my mountain farm and wear
out my finger nails in scratching a
living from the niggardly soil than
expose my old age and declining
strength to the pity of those who
knew me in better days.
Accordingly 1 rounded out my
ministerial life, and more fortunate
than many of my profession, return-
ed to the home I hadlong saved and
slaved and prepared for this conting-
ency. As this record of the evolution
.of one life, however erratic for the
help I trust of other wayfarers began
with tke home-coming at Oxford
.church I am moved to make its end-
ing some words uttered in the hear-
ing of those present. Every life has
its dream of the future. My own
dream always was after a more or
‘less extended career of preaching to
spend life’s declining years away from
narrow streets, bracken walls and
madding crowds, mid the rural scenes
-of my childhood, where life is sim-
ple and unhastening, where the moun-
“tains are sp close you can touch
‘them, and the streams leap and laugh
at their own music, and the valleys
smile with the growing crops, and the
wild flowers spring up innumerable in
‘the growing griin, the meadows and
the fence rows. Well; I have had my
dream fulfilled. I have bathed to
‘the full in the wonders of the chang-
ing seasons, the Spring with its ten-
der greenery and blushing reds, the
Summer with the whole earth simmer-
ing and throbbing with the fulness of
life, Autumn with its fruits and
grains to be garnered and its riot of
color, and finally Winter with its
challenge to manhood in swirling
"leaves and drifting snows. Oh! the
joy of calling no one Master but God,
cof familiar domestic animal pets, of
‘eating Baldwins, Greenings and
Spys of your own planting, of smell-
ing lilacs and honeysuckles of your
mother’s rearing, of wide spaces of
furrow and team, of meadow lark
whistling cheerily overhead, of black-
birds chattering impudently all about,
and quail calling. Oh! the beauty
and the splendor of the morning to
which you are awakened, not by steam
whistles but by a bird orchestra. Oh!
the calm and peace of night with its
rest for jaded nerves, aand tired mus-
cles, when even the beasts lie down
to pleasant dreams, when the crickets
chirp and the whipporwills come al-
most to the door to sing a half sad,
half glad good night.
And then there is your own home,
however humble, with its fireside,
your very own with its smoke curling
out of the chimney. These are the
things that twine their meshes about
one’s heart and become interwoven
with the fiber of one’s being. I thank
God, therefore, that He has fulfilled
my dream and given me an Indian
Summer amid scenes I most love. I
can truly testify that the world has
treated me kindly and I have .22n the
undeserved object of much human
love and friendship. This earthly
mansion of my father’s house has
proved too many roomed for me to
fully explore in my short span, but,
1 have cultivated acquaintance with
a few of them, to my great instruec-
tion and content. My lines have been
cast in pleasant places and my last
days of a truth have been my happiest
and best days. My Theology now has
grown quite simple, consisting of but
two words, Men’s Pater, and my night-
ly prayer but an expression of grat-
itude to God for permitting me to
live a day longer with unimpaired
faculties to behold his beautitul world,
hear His choristers voice their praise
and do one little bit of useful work,
if it be only caring for an animal or
cultivating a bed of garden. Cato, the
wisest Roman of them all was con-
tent in his old age with raising turn-
ips and teaching his household how
to cook them. With every household
comfort provided by kindly hands, I
am more than content watching the
operations of husbandry, and novelty
of changing seasons, the fathomless
mystery of growing things and in
finding diversion in a bit of literary
work such as this Biography which
is drawing to a close.
It has been a delicate and difficult
as well as an agreeable task for the
reason that every Biographer is in a
strait not betwixt two but three de-
lineations of his life’s history, that
of himself as the world and especially
as his frineds picture him to be, that
of the man as he pictures himself to
be, and thirdly that of the real man
f | known only to his maker. If my read-
ers shall to any degree generously pro-
nounce this poor effort of self-estima-
tion, the encomium that I have made
a sincere effort to furnish them, and
those who shall honor me by its pe-
rusal with some glimpses of the third
or real man I shall be amply repaid.
If IT were to venture to suggest a
recipe for long life and a happy one
I would sum all in two words “Be |
Kind.” This is the Law and Gospel
for the preservation of an equal mind
and the maintenance of an ever whole-
some atmosphere in which the body
and soul may function. If aught were
to be added to this it would be “Owe no
man anything.” Nothing in the world
beside can be conceived that will re-
lieve huuman life of so much anxiety
and return such large and sure div-
idends of human satisfaction. When
the Devil wanted to wreck all man’s
happiness in God’s beautiful world he
invented Debt for mankind and call-
ed it Enterprise. And now having
reached that Beulah Land where Bun-
van’s Pilgrim relates thaat the “going
seemed to be easier than aforetime,”
1 wait the Summons that soon or
late must come to all, trusting in
nothing that T have been or done but
only in the Infinite Mercy of the All
Father. At that time apprehensions
of the swelling of the Jordon appal
and weak human faith falters. 1 re-
member His words “Be not afraid!
I have the keys of Death and Hell.”
3 - The End. > :
Curious Old Custom
of Literary Giants
Lipogrammatic works, the product
of the early Greek authors, are those
books in which one letter of the alpha-
bet is omitted throughout the volume.
Tryphiodorus, when writing his Odys-
sey, had not an “a” in his first book,
nor a “b” in his second. In so doing
he was but copying the Lipogrammatir
{liad of Nestor.
Athenaeus writes of an ode by Pin-
dar in which the latter purposely omif-
ted the letter “s,” thereby leading us
to surmise that this little hoax wes
one of the literary fashicns of the day.
A Persian poet once read to the cele
brated Jami one of his own composi
tions with the letter Alif consistently
omitted throughout. Jami, who dai¢
not care for the sonnet, sarcastically
made the following recommendation:
“You can do a better thing yet, take
away all the letters from every word
you have written.”
Although the Greeks originated this
ingenious literary device, its use was
by no means exclusive with them.
Lope de Vega, the celebrated Spanish
dramatic poet of the Sixteenth cen-
tury, Gregorio Leti, and at a muck
later day Lord North of the court of
James I all employed this literary de-
vice and produced Lipogrammatic
books.—Market for Exchange.
Wrong Number
Feminine logic was demonstrated in
4 phone call received by a startled
gentleman who picked up the Instru-
ment the other evening to hear a
frenzied female voice demanding: “Is
this you, Jim.”
“No,” he returned politely.
aave the wrong number.”
“Well, you big sap,” came the voice
at the other end, in snappy accents,
“why the dickens don’t you hang up
so I can get my party? Of all the nit.
wits I ever saw—why, you poor prune
—" and so on, while the amused young
man listened patiently to her colorful
tirade.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
“You
Two White House “Fronts”
There are two fronts to the Execu-
tive mansion. In the days when the
White House was constructed, coloni-
al homes, especially in the South,
were built with two “fronts” wherever
it was possible to locate them near a
river. The phrases, the river front
and the land front, are found in many
descriptions of colonial homes, In the
early days of Washington, the Po-
tomac flowed much closer to the White
House than it does today. The build-
ing, therefore, was regarded as having
a river front as well as a land front.

INDIANS HAVE NO
SINGLE RELIGION |
Beliefs Among Various
Tribes Differ.
Washington.—Nearly 100,000 Indians
in the United States are untouched by
Christian doctrines, the board of In-
dian commissioners recently estimated,
and remain to all intents and pur-
poses pagans, presumably still hold-
ing in large measure the beliefs of
their ancestors. What these primi-
tive Indian religious beliefs are is
told in a bulletin from the National
Geographic society.
“Poetic fancy and a natural tend
ency to describe newly encountered
beliefs and customs in terms of those
already familiar have given white peo-
ple many false ideas in regard to
the religious beliefs of the American
Indians,” says the bulletin, “Some
enthusiasts have pictured the typical
red man as noble and ethical beyond
his white brother, believing in a fa-
therly ‘Great Spirit’ and striving to
live the good life that he may go
after death to the ‘Happy Hunting
Ground.” This is a fallacy.
Have No Single Religion.
“There is no single religion of the
American Indians. Instead the be-
liefs differed widely in different sec-
tions and among different tribes.
There was, however, a general simi-
larity of views, and these were about
what could have been expected from
people of a relatively primitive degree
of culture. Nowhere does what could
truly be called the conception of a
‘Great Spirit; an overruling deity
emerge.
“There were greater and lesser
spirits, to be sure, but the character-
istic Indian belief is in a multitude of
spirits animating animals, objects and
the various forces of nature. Nor
were these spirits inherently good or
bad, morally. They might help or
hinder the individual in his activities
or health, and whether they did the
one or the other was the test of thei~
‘goodness’ or ‘badness’ for him.
“The primitive Indian has no con-
ception of a hell; nor is his entry into
the spirit land dependent on his con-
duct. He enters it as a matter of
course, he believes, and continues
there whatever activities have inter-
ested him in this life. To some tribes
this is a ‘skyland,” to others it is
merely a region of the earth, ‘in the
west,” ‘across the sea,” or ‘beyond Aa
river.” Others believe the villages of
the dead to be near their villages but
invisible.
Believe in Magic.
“Coupled in the mind of the primi-
dive Indian with a belief in many
spirits is a belief in magic, through
which the spirits can be influenced.
The medicine men possessed the se-
crets of suc. magic, it was believed,
and often interceded. All Indians Be
lieve in the possession of a soul which
leaves the body at death. They also
believe that it leaves at other times,
and some tribes ascribe illness to this
absence of the soul. The services of
the medicine man are sought to re-
cover the missing soul. Belief in a
continuing soul did not lead to an-
cestor worship as among Eastern peo-
ples.
“Most Indian mythologies do not
oncern themselves with creation;
vhey assume the existence of the
earth and deal with its peopling and
with the origin of arts, customs and
rites. All these are supposed to have
come by a sort of revelation.
“Some tribes, however, especially
those of the Pacific coast region, do
have a creation myth. In some it is
‘Old Man Above,” in others an animal
such as the coyote or the silver fox,
who makes a hole in the sky, comes
to earth and creates the animals and
men. In some of these myths there is
only water beneath the sky, but the
descending being creates the earth in
the form of an island which grows.
Morality Well Developed.
“Morality and ethics were well de-
reloped among American Indians.
They have a strong sense of con-
individuals are
strikingly benevolent. The tribal meo-
rality was strict. He who lied, failed
to keep his promises, or stole within
the tribe was disgraced. Murder, too,
was punished. War removed ethical
barriers among Indians as it has
among most people in all ages. It
then became a virtue for the Indian
to kill his enemies and to take their
property.
“On the whole, the Indian’s re-
iigious beliefs may be described as
being wholly practical and as spring-
ing from fear of the more or less hos-
tile forces of nature that surround
him. His various rites arose from his
efforts to propitiate or to take ad-
vantage of these forces.”

Washington. — Lacking a cavalry
troop and feeling that one might be
useful, officers of the Fifteenth United
States infantry, guarding part of the
Tientsin-Peking railway in China, have
improvised a mounted outfit with their

One officer and thirty-four men of

18 to 14 hands in height and average
about 700 pounds in weight.

Cloture and Closure
Closure is a method of closing de-
bate upon a subject in a legislative
body and obtaining vote immediately
or at a specified time. It was first in-
troduced in the British house of com-
mons in 1882 and it was then called
“cloture,” which is a French word.
Later “closure” became the more com-
mon name for this method of ending
debate, especially in the United States.
but now there seems to be a tendency
to go back to the French word *“clo-
ture.” They have the same meaning

awful for me up there to be pointed
out as the little girl whose mother
was in hell.”
