SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BY IN EMO.
Copyrighted by Dave & Tabor. /

Eagerness to look at the outer appear.
ance of great man ia no great compIi
ment to his work. Willingness to tax,
of his message and live it is more to be
praised. BY way of illustration, let me
cite Christianity. AS the centuries in.
crease in numbers behind us, the Vita
strength of Christianity seems Il do not
write of creeds but Of deeds) to increase
And doubt not that the worlds work
ers, who have learned from The Great
Worker, care less and less for His per-
sonal appearance; since were we to behold
Him as He was, like enough we should
see but little cause to admire Him. A
mans work is more than the man, and
his message more to be needed than his
face. And we gaping ones who would
run hither and thither just to ''see", ad-
vertise that we as yet understand but
little of what influence really means.
Like those who gaze upon Gagged lions
are we who gather to stare at famous
thinkers-we have our reward; we are
disappointed in both lions and men, for
they are out Of their proper setting.
And those who, having aided the
thought OF the day, straightway imi-
tate the freaks OF museums, showing
themselves at every public place, have
their reward also-they are seen, their
work is judged by their facial or physi-
cal insignificance (for great thoughts are
no necessary product OF magnificent
brows or herculean bodies), and they are
on the way to the land Of forgotten
things. Better to live unknown and
leave a message for all time hereafter
than to kill time and influence by idle
paradings Of self
The silent influence''-what a world
OF satisfaction there Is in the idea! 1t
brings us all in as one in the onward
work OF the world. The "silent infiu-
ence", soft as snow fake, gentle as a
summer zephyr, despised as an earth
worm, unheeded as a blade Of grass, is
what is doing the work OF the world.
Mightier than monarchs Is the quiet
thought of the people, passing from ham
let to hamlet and growing as it passes;
more enduring than mountains are the
personal and national virtues that are
quietly and silently taught and lived by
unknown men and women; more persis-
tent than death are the silent works done
generation after generation by the hum
bic and unseen-done because they were
right TO be done, and not because they
were TO be either seen or praised of men.
Humble ones everywhere, the "silent
influence and knowledge of its gran
deur in all history. all progress, all
merals-m makes the hum blest of US hum
BILE ones proud to live and eager for
more OF the patient plodding to which
we have hitherto been confined. We
are part OF the great human body, as
much as the invisible oxygen in us is
part of us, and like it we are exercising
definite influence for good in our race,
no matter how small or insignificant
may be our effort towards wisdom and
OF life.
