birth.
Anger and worry are caused by
phantoms that we create within our
selves, and whose only strength is
that with which we endow them
Anger and worry are like echoes;
they do not exist until we call for
them, and the louder we call the
louder is the response. We can
never drown them; yet, if let alone,
they drown themselves.
Fear is possibly the truer name
for the cowardly root-passion than
worry; but as they are synonymous,
and as anger and worry has a less
formidable sound, l have chosen to
present it for attack under that
title.
While the evil passions align
themselves into two classes, as the
offshoots of anger and worry, they
are, in fact, all growths from one
root. Worry Cor fear) is the male
principle, as it were, without which
all the others wither and die. For
instance, if we do not worry, we
do not fear; and if we do not fear
aggression, or insult, Or slight, we
do not become angry. We quarrel
most frequently with what we fear
is thought or intended by our ad-
versary, and least frequently with
what he actually does or thinks,
On the other hand, our adversary
endows us with intentions which he
himself creates, and each puts his
own fuel on the fire to increase the
heat of the controversy.
In emancipation there is no fear
Cor worry), and consequently no
fuel for discord.
Emancipation as disarmament
which disarms others, but adds
strength TO itself.
10 the emancipated every mo-
ment is a delight, or a moment
of calm, during which he is sus
ceptible only to good impressions

The A-B-C of Living.

In his "Menticulture, or the A.
Be of True Living Horace
Fletcher presents an argument
against the bad habits of the mind.
This is his theory:
All of the evil passions are trace
able to one Of two roots
Anger is the root of all the
aggressive passions.
Worry ia the root of all the COW.
ardly passions.
Envy, spite, revenge, impatience,
annoyance, selfshness, prejudice,
unrest and the like are all PHASES of
anger. y
Jealousy, fear, the bglittling of
self, the blues and all she intro spec
tive forms of depression are the
children of worry.
Anger and worry are the most
improbable conditions known TO
man. While they arein possession
Of the mind, both mental and ply
steal growth are suspended.
Anger and worry are thieves that
steal precious time and enelgy from
life.
Anger is "a 9hway rob'ber and
worry is sneaKthitf.
Anger and worry are the most
potent forms of selfabuse, for the
reason that in many cases anger is
the result misunderstanding and,
In most cases, worry's prophecies
mover come true; or, if they do, the
fulfillment is generally caused by
the worry itself.
Anger and worry do not stimu-
late to any good end.
Anger and worry not only dwarf
and depress, but sometimes kill.
Anger and worry are no more
necessary. than other passions civil,
lied man has learned to control,
and it is only needful to realize that
they are unnecessary IN order to
make 1t impossible to feel, much
less to show them.|
Anger and worry cannot be elm
mated through process of repres-
sion any more than weed can be
killed by cutting down the stalk, or
a cancer can be cured from the sur.

gotten rid of by "tapering off,"
Germ eradication is not only the

all physical diseases and mental

The dlspossession Of anger and

In 1896 the democratic party was
handicapped because 1t had nomin-
ated Grover Cleveland in three Fra
tional conventions. Many republi'
cans, who were disgusted with their
own party, were incapable of rehllz'
ing that the democratic masses had
in fact become supreme in the party
counsels and repudiated their for
mer leaders. 1t will be different,
however, next year. All now uD,
derstand that u battle royal is on
between the old gang and the peo-
pie, and that the republican party
are exceedingly anxious for the
triumph of the gold wing. There
fore the triumph of the people in the
democratic national convention will
mean that thousands of republicans
will forsake the party of monopoly
IN each state and unite with the re-
generated democracy.

"You would find him amusing. He
moved out on the lake shore for the
summer and bought Jersey COW. Then
he hired a small boy to drive her up
from the pasture every afternoon. One
day the boy fell sick and Biscome didn't
know what to do about the COW. He
said to himself when he looked at her
in the morning: She'll certainly forget
to come home if the boy isn't there to
call her attention to the fact that she
has a home.' Then he looked at the
COW some more, and pretty soon he
stumbled on what seemed to him bril-
liant idea"
"Was it?"
"You must Judge for yourself. He
tied knot in the cows tail to remind
her that there was something she mustn't
forget" ."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

We are nearing the close of our
second year on the Marble Hill

we have Jared sumptuously. OF

money as we could have used, but
we have had plenty to eat; IN fact,
there has never been time since

could not set what would ordi-
narly be called good table, and
the people have divided their
money with us, and in all proba.
bilitv we have Jared as we'll as we
deserved.
This is one of the most desirable
circuits in this respect, the people
are loyal and true. Our local
preachers and exhorters have had
regular appointments, and have
been faithful 10 their work. Uncle
Joe LESLEY, our oldest local
preacher, and "Unc!e" Robert
Caldwell, our oldest exhorter, are
sometimes little feeble, and not
MS able to work us when younger,
but both have done good work. l

preaching that was more faithful
and earnest than "uncle" Joe did
at the various places when helping
me in protracted meetings. tell
you it had the old-time ring--it did
me good. Ofcourse we ought to do
more, financially, and we have done
more this year than we did last
and more last year than the year
before, but We ought to continue to
come up till We reach the standard, I,
and then we will make better crops
