Pastoral Parson eind His Country Folks 
By Rev. George B. Gilbert 
Eastkr. —What a strange Easter it has 
been tliis year with this terrible battle 
going on ! How hard to feel the Easter 
spirit! And yet amidst all this conflict 
people are turning to Him as never be¬ 
fore. “I, if I be lifted up, will draw all 
men unto Me.” It was because He was 
lifted up, in great suffering, for the cause 
of right, that men are drawn to Him. 
Had He evaded the outcome, or dodged 
the issue, or run away, no one would 
have been drawn to Him. All would 
have shunned Him. It is ever so with 
us. Those looking for the soft side of a 
into his eyes as well. He had run over 
so willing to help, and how it hurt his 
eyes and how he shook with sobs, and he 
dare not come in near the fire. How the 
Parson .suffered with him as he saw him 
standing there! And oh, how God suf¬ 
fered and is suffering with us as we suf¬ 
fer and labor ou, that the priceless herit¬ 
age of Freedom be preserved unto the 
world! 
Great Trip. —The Parson certainly 
had a great Sunday trip on Palm Sun¬ 
day. Too muddy for the car, so it was 
Old Doll and the light express wagon.

A Family Group Welcoming the Parson 
plank will have no following. The 
woman who is ever bobbing in at the 
neighbors or running off to the movies 
and letting her children come home from 
school to find the door locked will have 
nothing but the contempt of her neighbor¬ 
hood. If the Parson forever sent down 
word to his people that the day was too 
hot or too cold, or looked too much like 
storm, he would soon be without a con¬ 
gregation. 
Fou Freedom’s Sake. —And the Par¬ 
son has also been thinking how for this 
same cause for which wc are fighting, God 
has endured all the siu and trouble of the 
George, Jr., wont along, and it is such 
company now to have one of the boys 
go on the long trip.s. We always have 
plenty to “munch” on all the way down, 
and this helps out greatly. We made so 
many stops that it was quite late' when 
we got to where Old Doll was to stay. 
The house was all dark, but we knew 
the barn and put her up and fed her by 
moonlight, and then had to retrace our 
steps back a good mile to where we were 
going to stay. We were tired that night. 
A Dull S-\w. —On the trip before 
George and I stopped to help a couple of 
boys .saw up a log and found the saw

w()r!d. He would not make us as ma¬ 
chines, He could not, He loved us too 
much. But He made us with wills of our 
own to make ourselves as great as we 
would to have the choice within our¬ 
selves. Alas, with the power to make 
oux-selves great went also the power to 
make ourselves as small as we would. 
And oh ! how God has suffered in looking 
out over His grief-stricken and mutilated 
world! “In all our afflictions, lie is af¬ 
flicted.” The other day George, Jr., went 
over to fill the car with gasoline. A little 
after, the Parson heard a sobbing out 
back. There he found him with his face 
buried on his arm agaiust the shed. His 
foot had slipped on the .step of the car 
and gasoline had gone all over him and 
very dull, so this time we stopped and 
got the saw, and will have it filed to¬ 
morrow, if it is Sunday, by a good man 
that lives near the church. It is hard 
enough to saw wood with a sharp saw. 
Wc had 19 out to church that morning, 
and after church we had a business meet¬ 
ing to talk over all our plans for the 
Spring and Summer. 
Clam Chowder. —After this meeting 12 
of us stayed to have something to eat. 
The Parson had brought along, safely 
tucked under the seat, a 12-quart can of 
clam chowder. This in a big kettle, on the 
big box stove, simmered merrily during 
the sermon. Several brought some' bread 
and one woman brought a cheese pie—
