wise, but is very likely called sharper
 It means that he is smart enough in cer
 tain cute ways; he can doa bright thing
 but that he does not let the deeper wis. dom and guidance of the heart and con- science govern the brightness of his in' tellect. We have all heard of the man who went into partnership with a wealthy man, and telling of it after wards said when he began business, he had the money, and had the experience, when we ended l had the money and he had the experience. Unfortuna- tely that is not an uncommon experi- ence, too much smartness not enough heart.
 Such man Is not honored as a wise man, he is distrusted as slippery one. It is not even profitable course in the end. Why! only little while ago l heard one man say of another, ''That man is too close and mean to make money" It was just the truth, the man spoken of would have been vast deal richer and to get rich was all his earthly aim and endeavor but he would have been a vast deal richer if he had been more generous hearted. He was 50 mean and grasping, that he never could sell anything, never could rent a house he owned, never could buy a thing ex- cept at high price, because everybody knew he would cheat them if he could, and so would have no dealing with him that they could possibly help.
 YOU SEE IT WAS JUST A CASE
 where for the most worldly and vulgar pursuits a man was put behind in the race when he had plenty of head ability, just because he had not little heart wisdom, and conscience power. He was try to go even through this worldly life without developing his heart, and his conscience, he will come out short at the end, not only for eternity, but as we'll in the things of this life; the heart Ia part of the power which works our way through the world; the man who degenerates into meanness so mean that the heart never shows up, he will al- most surely have lost so much touch with his fellow men that he will not even be able to make any money out of them. It is true in all works of life. Wisdom demands heart power as we'll as head power. A general who knew all the art of war, and strategy, could elaborate plans, and invent schemes with the brightest, but never troubled himself to know the heart of men, what was possi- ble and what was not to human bravery: he would fail as 8 general. and that not for lack of knowledge or skill but for lack of sympathy, for lack of heart. A politi- tician who feels that brilliancy of scheme or smartness is all that is necessary had better go hunting through the West for a once famous and really brilliant Sen. ator who thought 1t was the way of politics to get along without the ten commandments.
 The scholar who can thread the abstrusest mysteries of learning, but neither knows nor cares for what such mysteries have to say or bring to the heart will likely fail as scholar. The learning which neglects to consider the facts Of the heart is superficial. Any philosophy which leaves out soul, which does not consider the spiritual instinct, and it's impulses is unworthy either of respect or study. Especially when you turn to the highest learning. When you turn to the study of mankind either in history, or in science, Tor in psychology, the man who neglects to consider the revelations and lessons of the heart of mar the man who only considers what mans body has to say, or his appetite, or his mind, that man is no scholar. He will never be able to give us theories of life or histories of nations or explanations of events, just because he is all the time
 LEAVING OUT SOMETHING
 which bas most prominent place in ev- cry event that Is past, and in every per son who Is present. A man may study humanity and leave out the consideration of the affections which go out towards men, and the reverence which goes out at the thought of higher power in the suni- verse-towards God, leave out thus the religious instincts of the heart; that man might as well study Trench history and leave out Paris, or study American his- tory and leave out the Declaration of lTn- dependence. There is no wisdom in be- ing man, or in studying men. and leav- ing out the heart of man.
 Now all this becomes reinforced in power and in meaning when we turn to
