disorder that come up from their en-
by the cold river. No one
hears such thanks as the doctor hears.
They are eyes to the blind, they are
feet to the lame, their path is strewn
with the benedictions of those whom
they have befriended.
Encourage the lawyers. They are
often cheated out of their fees, and so
often have to breathe the villainous air
of courtrooms, and they so often have
to bear ponderous responsibility, and
they have to maintain against the
sharks in their profession the dignity
of that calling which was honored by
the fact that the only man allowed to
stand on Mount Sinai beside the Lord
was Moses, the lawyer, and that the BIZ
BILE spoke of Christ as the advocate. En-
courage lawyers in their profession of
transcendent importance-a profess
sion honored by having on the bench
Chief Justice Story and at the bar q
Rufus Choate.
Encourage the teachers in our pub
lie schools-occupation arduous and
poorly compensated. In all the cities
when there comes a fit of economy on
the part of officials the first thing to
do is always to cut down teachers sala-
ries. To take 40 or so boys whose par
ents suppose them precocious and keep
the parents from finding out their mis-
take, to take an empty head and fill 1t,
to meet the expectations of parents
who think their children at IS years OF
age ought to be mathematicians and
metaphysicians and rhetoricians, to
work successfully that great stufing
machine the modern school system, is
very arduous work. Encourage them
by the usefulness and the everlasting
ness and the magnitude of their occu-
patton and when your children do well
compliment the instructor, praise the
teacher, thank the educator.
Encourage all invalids by telling
them how many you have known with
the same ailments who got well and
not by telling them of their sunken eye
or asking them whether the color of
their cheeks is really hectic or men
tioning cases in which that style of
disease ended fatally or telling them
how badly they look. Cheerful words
are more soothing than chloral, more
stimulating than cognac, more tonic
than bitters. Many an invalid has re-
covored through the influence of cheer
ful surroundings.
Encouraging all starting in life by
yourself becoming reminiscent. Es-
tablished merchants, by telling these
young merchants when you got your
first customer, and how you sat be-
hind the counter eating your luncheon
with one eye on she door. Established
lawyers, encourage young lawyers by
telling them the time when you broke
down in your first speech. Estab'
lished ministers of the gospel, encour-
age young ministers by merciful exam
ination of theological candidates, moi
walking around with a profundity and
overwhelmingness of manner al
though you were one of the eternal de
crees. Doctors established, by telling
young doctors how you yourselves once
mistook the measles for scarlatina
And if you have nothing to say that is
encouraging, o man, put your teeth
tightly together and cover them will
the curtain of your lip; compress you
lips and put your hand over your mouth
and keep still.
Encourage the troubled by thoughts
of release and reassociation. Encour
age the aged by thoughts of eterna
juvenescence. Encourage the herds
man amid the troughs of sin to go bacl
to the banquet at the fathers home
stead. Give us tones in the major Ike,
instead of the minor. Give us Corona
tion" instead of Naomi" You hav,
seen cars so arranged that one ca,
going down the hill rolled another ca
up the hill They nearly balanced eacl
other, And every man that finds lif
up hill ought to be helped by those VIII
have passed the heights and are de
scending to the vale. Oh, let us bea
one another's burdens!
A gentleman in England died leaving
his fortune by will to two sons. TIL,
son that stayed at home destroyed tn
fathers will and pretended that tn,
brother who was absent was dead ant
buried. The absent brother afte
awhile returned and claimed his par
of the property. Judges and juror
were to be bribed to say that the re
turned brother and son was no son a
ali, but only an impostor, The tria
came on. Sir Matthew Hale. the prid
of the English courtroom and for 2
years the pride of jurisprudence, hear
that that injustice was about to be prac
ticed. He put off his official robe. H
put on the garb Of a miller. He wen
to The village where that trial was t
take place. He entered the courtroom
He somehow got empaneled as one o
the jurors. The briber came around
and the man gave ten pieces of gol
to the other jurors, but as this was onl
poor miller the briber gave to hin
only five pieces of gold. A verdict wa
brought in rejecting the rights of thi
returned brother. He was TO have n
share in the inheritance. "Hold, m
lord!" said the miller. Hold We ar
not all agreed on this verdict. Thes
other men have received ten pieces O
gold in bribery, and have receive
