THE DIFFERENCE IN MEN.
oor,s are handicapped from the start, and
/. ,,Sev come in at the finish victor, they de-
-. n much more credit for it. Handi-
ss.nosd by what? Well, one man is born
,s;,b superb health, with clean line OF an
...trv behind him and in respectable sur
.o"ndings. Another comes into the world
,Sberiting the illness of insanity or drunk
Ines. of indigestion, or Of bad heart, and
oraong those who will encourage every

L. Tohn Brown, who can take a glass of

Joasn't care for any more, on an equality
-r;,b John Smith, who because of the sins of
ri. ancestors. cannot do the same with

brown. who finds it no trouble to say a
4 nIassant word to everybody. on an equality
Nth John Smith, who, fighting against an
bareditary ill-temper, has to make an effort
"a be agreeable! Is John Brown, who
would no more think Of stealing than he
vould of numbering, on an equality with
Iohn Smith, whose father was convict,
rhosa mother had no idea what decency
n and nuritv we're, and who came into this
4 world unwelcomed and uncared fora Why,
4 there is no such thing as equality. l don't
sara if twenty Thomas Jeffersons wrote
n that And | don't believe that when all
a these men come to be judged that the God
q who made them will look on them as on an
eouslity; but he will think of the weakness
Il and Wickedness that came to them by in
heritsuce, Of the surroundings that tended
n 10 increase these, aud OF the temptations
that came in their way.
ARE WE FREE BEINGS
Free9 Are we free? / doubt that. We
4 all Of US are dependent, the one on the other
The social structure, which means the
4 home, the marriage and morality, would
tumble pieces if we were free. Are you
II free to do things that would cause a scandal
to come upon you aud all belonging TO you?
avou free tospeak the evil words that hurt
another and that will as certainly rebound
Il as boomerang? You dOit, but certainly
Il YOU are not free to- and that it is not yonr
Il privilege is proved by the fact that just as
certainly as you commit this crime
or take this freedom, just 80
certainly you will be punished for it.
i It's nonsense saying all men are born free
i aud equal. We are equal once in our lives,
Il all Of US, and that Is when We face death.
We may look at it from among silken
spreads and laces, or huddled up in a dirty
Il blanket, but it is just the same. Death
comes and be it prince or pauper, he is met
in the same way. He looks at you. you
meet him, and you close your eyes just as
does the poor wretch who hadn't the food to
keep him alive.
WHEN WE ARE ALL EQUAL.
That's the only time In your life, my
friend, that you and the other man are alb
solutely equal When the heir to the Brit
sh throne died little while ago, we all felt
sorry, aud syDpathiZed most Of all with his
mother anu the young woman who was to
have been his wife. That was right and
klndhearted. The newspapers had columns
about this death, and yet in all that was
written the keynote never was struck, as it
was IN the description of another death,
mat OF en- Irish boy who had delighted in
calling himself "a sport" He was the
same age as the Duke OF Clarence
woman was weeping beside his deal body,
and she said; "He has fought many fight,
ana nc tried to fight death, out death
doWued him." That's it. Death downs
everybody at last And in the sight of that
kTHa destroyer the son OF the future KinYof
England and the tough Irish boy were free
alu equal; but they were not born so. Put
n Gown to the grip, my friends, If l am
IOlaAzing. Everybody commits sin once
~ while, and the grip, with its aches and
palus and It's horrible depressing feeling,
~ou.l make an angel fall from grace, so what
-" you expect OF mere ordinary woman?
