We wish to corect an error in printing in our last
issue. The printers got pages six and seven reversed.
But we think it will not happen again. Also G. G.
Rupert’s name should have been put to both the articles
“A Friendly Bible Study” and “War in the Light of
Prophecy,” but the name being at the close of the arti-
cles, and their being incomplete caused it to be left out.
We shouldn’t judge our neighbor’s life. We can
rot know his spirit’s needs. Each one must grow his
natural way. You can’t grow trees from flower seeds.

AN ANTISEPTIC FOR COLDS
Every family needs a good alkaline antiseptic. At
this season when colds are prevalent, it should be bot-
tled and kept in a place convenient for quick use. A
common hospital formula is made in the proportion
of one pint of water, two teaspoons of salt, three
teaspoons of baking soda and four teaspoons of boric
acid. The latter may be bought at the druggists’ for
ten cents.
A LETTER
Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 8, 1923.
Mrs. Lucile R. Smith,
Mrs. Lauretta Pennington,
Oklahoma City, Okla.
Dear Friends:
Just received the Remnant of Israel from Sr.
McClain at Arbuckle, Calif., giving account of your
father’s death. I am sorry.
Sr. Minnie Couch had written me that he was
ill, but Robert and I went to California and returned .
in October and I did not learn of his death until re-
cently—perhaps six weeks ago.
He was a man I always admired for his strong
convictions and great intellect. This poetry which I
copied and am enclosing reminds me of him. He
didn’t follow the beaten path but blazed the way to a
new and better understanding of God’s Holy Word.
When I worked for him helping to get the Yellow
Peril ready for publication I often wondered at his
universal ability to quote the Bible from memory, and
greatly enjoyed his Bible Lectures. Often wished he
would visit us here.
I had the utmost confidence in his honesty and
Christianity and always defended him when some well
meaning minister intimated that he was off in his
interpretation of the Bible. What the world pleased
to term “cranks” are often the great men of the earth
who have flowers put on their graves that should
have crowned their heads.
Sister C. P. Wilson.
THE THINGS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN DONE
BEFORE
The things that haven’t been done before,
Those are the things to try:
Columbus dreamed of an unknown shore
At the rim of the far flung-sky.
And his heart was bold and his faith was strong,
And he ventured in dangers new,
And he paid no heed to the jeering throng,
Or the fears of the doubting crew.
The many will follow the beaten track
With guide posts on the way,
They live and have lived for ages back
With a chart for every day.
Someone has told them its safe to go
On the road he has traveled o’er,
And all that they ever strive to know
Are the things that were known before.
A few strike out without map or chart
Wliere never a man has been,
From the beaten paths they draw apart
To see what no man has seen.
There are deeds they hunger alone to do;
Though battered and bruised and sore
They blaze the path for the many, who
Do nothing not done before.
The things what haven't been done before
Are the tasks worth while today;
Are you one of the flocks that follow, or
Are you one that shall lead the way?
Are you one of the timid souls that quail
At the jeers of a doubting crew.
Or dare you, whether you win or fail
Strike out for a goal that’s new?
Edgar A. Guest.
TO THE READERS OF THE REMNANT
As Sister Smith has consented to go ahead with the
publishing of the Remnant, shall we not rally in sup-
port of this work? Some say the cost is too much for
the amount of good it does. In reply to this I would
say, don’t let the mammon of unrighteousness fool vou
out of the blessing of laboring for souls. They are not
valued by dollars.
Others may say if the work be of God it will go
forward, but if it be of man it will come to naught.
We can’t judge by this, as the realization of these
facts may be too far off. I know of work that is not
of God and has been going on for fifteen hundred
years. Of course it will come to naught. Better judge
by Isa. 8:20.
