Then he lost all interest in the slaves
and became an ardent vegetarian, who
tormented all his friends and acauaint-
ances by appealing to them to give up
meat and live with him on fruits and
vegetables. This hobby lasted but a
year, when he took up The cause OF
woman suffrage, and quarrelled with
every one who did not agree with him.
Since that he has been, by turns a
leader among the Spiritualists and the
'Theosophists, and is now-for the mo-
ment-a vehement Ritualist.
He is good, sincere, well meaning
man, anxious TO find the truth and to
draw all men with him to find it.
But he draws them with such vehem-
ence that his friends avoid him in
terror.
A rational man does not object to be

to curb or cool their zeal. Let them
indulge it, remembering, however, that
their brothers and classmates have
right to hobbies of their own, and
should not be forced to mount behind
theirs.
When their zeal begins to flag, too.
let them spur it and force it to continue
in the same path. The man who is ar
dent in the pursuit of neobject is sue
cessful. The man who is Jealous in the
pursuit of a dozen soon ranks as
feather-headed fool among other men.
