Readers care little or nothing for

HELP OTHERS.
Happiness Cannot Exist I'm Heart
Where Narrow and selfish Feel
ings Are dominant.

1t is narrow and selfish spirit that
never seeks TO help others. Persons
with such motives can never be happy.
Happiness cannot exist in a heart
where such feelings dominate. God
has placed us in this world for things
higher than the qualification of selfish
aim and purposes. A selfish man must
be mean. A man whose supreme aIubi-
ton is his own aggrandizement, so he
may rise, he cares not over how many
PROSTATE forms, is selfish man. Such
men are of no good TO God or man.
They may arrogate to themselves
honor and distinction, but right-think-
ing people look upon them with dis
gust. They are an offense in the eyes
of those who are kind and generous.
Nothing so elevates men as a DISPOSE
ton to extend the helping hand to
others. The development of generous
impulses is the greatest lever to spirit
ual elevation. The Christ spirit brings
us into sympathy with every form of
need. The barefooted child, when cold,
is an object that excites our sympathy.
Every form of want, physical or moral,
arouses our entire being. To NO cry
can we turn a deaf ear.
1t is not the amount of help we may
render, but the motive that underlies
the act. Not grudgingly, but cheer
fully must be the spirit of our bene-
factions. Look about you for objects
where you may dispense your charity
pair of shoes may bring man to
church-and to God. Do not be SO

deceived that therefore you withhold

unworthy. There are many who will

While the great majority of articles
submitted to magazines and newspa-

found the female contingent of scrib-
blers, who, being supported by faith

the increasing mania to write. In the
hot haste for reputation" little care
or thought is given to subjects, and
the public gets very weak solution
in the great majority of instances.
Much has been said about 'big names"
having no influence in the acceptance
of articles. This may be correct in
some quarters where only pure liter
allure is considered, but in the ma iority
of instances IL is the name that carries
the, article, as in others an article is
carried by the illustrations. In the
matter OF 'little names" the articles
submitted are on a cheap basis, and
that carries weight. This drugging of
the literary market in the hot race for
reputation has been instrumental in
overcrowding the publishers market
with new publications.
Some of these, however, do not pay
anything for articles-and perhaps
they are right, judging from their con
tents. But the name of the author"
appears, and that is considered by both
parties as fair compensation. Some
of the concerns, which are scarcely
honest publications, require contrib
utor to subscribe to the magazine as a
condition precedent" to submitting
manuscripts. Yet this does not dis

yet this does not seem in the least to
discourage amateurs or abate the fever
for writing. OF course, in these in
stances the writer's are persons of
means, and have the advantage of the
poorer writer's whose contributions are
offered gratis-provided their names
are attached.
In countries where there is a press
censorship the signature is perhaps
necessary in order to fix the RESPONSE
bility, but it would seem that this is
not necessary in this country. as the
proprietor of the publication is respou-
sible for everything that appears in it,
and the writers are responsible to him.
Furthermore, he has a blue pencil. As
the writer is paid for his work, he
should let the publisher have some
credit; but it is the publishers fault.
He is pursuing the popularity of "big
Names" and he also catches many
small ones. He is also responsible for
the signature innovation and the over

has caused him a great deal of trouble

curtail this mania, and no doubl the
