Thinking.

Thinking is not dreaming. The
world is full of dreamers. A few
men do most of the thinking. Think
ing is manufacturing. 1t is taking
mental tools and hammering, and
filing and molding, and shaping,
until ideas have grown into fully
developed realities of the brain,
with dimensions and clearly marked
outlines. The reason there is not
more thinkers is because thinking
is work. 1t wears away every It's
sue and muscle. 1t is tlresome. 1t
requires time and purpose. Men
can dream while they sleep; to
work they must be awake. Dream
ing is tearing away the foodgate
and allowing the flood to pour
through; if any thing remains it is
only drift-wood that may chance to
hang on the way. Minds fill with
drift-wood because they are not
thinking. Thinking is measuring
chances, weighing principles; watch
ing the operation of law; it is a
process of creeping upon things
and taking them by surprise before
they can get away. A thinker is a
hunter. He must live alone. He
must be satisfied with small daily
fare and often see his game fly be-
fore he has time to shoot. He
must have courage to free chasms
and dark places and climb steep
mountains. He must love solitude
on an outpost hidden in the rocks.
And here is the reason this age
is not prolific of good thinkers. 1t
is an age of company, of travel, of
theater-going, of corporations and
speculation. Men live in crowds.
1t is day of double houses. Too
much man and not enough God.
Communion with nature is shut
out. There are no sparks because
the flint and steel are not in con-
tact. Everybody wants to ride.
Going to the spring for water is
out of fashion. The spring must
come up the hill. We want to
turn the fawcet and have things
run out to our hand; and the faw
Get must be on castors, that it may
be convenient. For these reasons
most people are only sponges; they
live wholly by absorption and are
like the thing they touch last.
They wait for things to "turn uP;"
but the only thing they fnd turning
up, especially for them, is a little
sod in a lone corner of the grave
yard, and they are at last laid away,
while the great multitude, having
never missed them, ask in wonder,
"when did he die?'

An Ancient Nation.

At the departure of the children
of Israel from Egypt, China was
seven hundred years old; and when
Isaiah prophesied of her she had
existed fifteen centuries. She has
seen the rise and decline of all the
great nations of antiquity. Assy-
ria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and
Rome have long since followed
each to the dust; but China still re-
mains, a solitary and wonderful
monument OF patriarchal times
Then look at the population. of the
country, roughly estimated at four
hundred millions-ten times the
population of Great Britain and
Ireland. Every third person that
lives and breathes upon this earth
and beneath these heavens is a Chi
nese y every third grave that is dug
is for a Chinese.
