# Jusfc think of that, a “celestial bene¬ 
diction”—it was a great thing for a boy 
to think about. I looked both words up 
in the dictionary and got, perhaps, half 
of their meaning. In all our town there 
seemed to be no one except our old minis¬ 
ter to come around on the frosty side of 
the barn with comfort or promise, but 
this celestial benediction which the poet 
told about got right to you. It might 
even live under that awful pile of wood 
which I was to saw, and it would be 
worth the job of sawing it if I could 
find such a thing under the pile. I heard 
people speak of a “nigger in the wood- 
pile” in terms of reproach, but a celestial 
benediction down under the wood was 
certainly entitled to all respect. I did 
not fully understand it, or what it meant, 
but it got into me and stayed there, 
where the multiplication table or the rule 
of square root never would remain. My 
belief is that if I had committed to 
memory in place of that poem some ex¬ 
cellent classroom lecture at this college 
I should have become a little anarchist, 
and gone through life pushing such peo¬ 
ple ae I could reach toward the frosty 
side of the barn. As it was, that poem 
repeated over and over, made me vow as 
a_ child that if I ever could inlluence or 
direct the lives of farmers I would do 
my. best to see that they lived and did 
their work on the sunny side of the barn. 
***** 
In my day children were brought up 
on “the Scriptures and a stick,” both 
well applied, and yet all these “lectures 
and lickings” never stuck in my life like 
the noble poetry we read in school, and 
the few pictures which hung on the walls 
of the home. There is a curious thing 
about eome of these pictures. I am told 
of a case where two boys in the Tennessee 
mountains volunteered for the navy. 
Their mountain home was as far removed 
from the ocean as it well could be. They 
had never seen even a large pond. For 
three generations n'ot one of their an¬ 
cestors had ever seen the salt water. Yet 
these boys would not listen to any call 
for the army, but they demanded a place 
in the navy. The story came to an 
officer in a nearby camp, and he became 
interested and visited that home. Both 
father and mother were puzzled over the 
action of their boys, and they could not 
understand why Henry and William had 
demanded the ocean. As this officer 
turned away he noticed hanging on the 
wall in the living room of that house the 
crude picture of a ship under full sail 
and on an impossible blue ocean. It had 
come into that family years before, wrap¬ 
ped around a package of goods, and 
mother had hung it on the wall. From 
their youth those boys had grown up 
with that picture before them, and it had 
decided their life. It was stronger than 
the influence of father and mother—they 
could not overcome it. I speak of that 
in order that you men and women with 
children of your own may understand how 
the dreams, the poetry, the visions of 
youth will prove stronger influences than 
any of the science, or the wisdom, of the 
fine example you may put before your 
little ones. H. \v. c.
