the grave, fighting back the troops OF
disorder that come up from their en-.

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 SC
often have TO breathe the villainous air
OF courtrooms, and they so often have
TO bear pondcrous responsibility, and
they have 10 maintain against the
sharks in their profession the dignity
of that calling which was honored by
the fact that the only man allowed to

ries. To take 40 or so boys whose par
cnts suppose them precocious and keep
the parents from finding out their mis-
take, to take an empty head and fill it,
to meet the expectations of parents
who think their children at Is years OF
age ought TO be mathematicians and
metaphy sicians and rhetoricians, TO
work successfully that great stufling
machine the modern school system, is
Il very arduous work. Encourage them
by the usefulness and the everlasting
ness and the magnitude of their occu-
patton, and when your children do we'll
compliment the instructor, praise tho
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 checks is really hectic or men
tioning cases in which that style of
disease ended fatally or telling them
how badly they look. Cheerful words

young doctors how you yourselves once
nistook the measles for scarlatina.

tightly together and cover them with
the curtain of your lip; compress your
lips and put our hand over your mouth
and keep still.
Encourage the troubled by thoughts

seen cars SO arranged that one car
going down the hill rolled another car
up the hill. They nearly balanced each
