SERVICE" !aE
Better Fail Striying Than Not re
Strive.
PRESENT DAY THOUGHTS.
BY "GRosvENoR." /"

|
Written for The Commonwealth.
Be not of the tribe that sit back and
find fault be of those who set forth
and strive. "Just doing things" may
not gain for you so great reputation
for wisdom, as lazily telling how to do
yet you have chosen the bstter part
even though tho harder. Wise head
waggings are nothing compared with
one clear-vlsioned purpose worked out
seriously. It does not take particu.
larly wise man to discover defects In
the sun ; it does take very wise man
to understand its full glory and power,
Notwithstanding the spots. Any short
sighted creature who thinks that he
himself rises higher by discovering de-
fects In othsrs, can find out Shiny
things and bugs in the grandest tree
that ever did its forest duty; but it
takes man with feeling soul to stand
far enough away to see no defects and
to admire the. symmetry of the leafy
giant.
It is better to strive and fail, than
not to strive at all. Neither criticism
nor eyen knowledge Of our own short
comings should deter US from working
out as best we can the purposes within
Us. In all probability we are here only
once, and after that so far as the world
is concerned, only the working OF the
thread OF our doings into the tapestry
of the worlds wide life. Then why
not do our little tearlesslye The man
who works knows something of
the lust OF battle; the man who finds
fault has no such joy. It takes the
strength of manhood to produce any
noticeable result in the world how less
than nothing, therefore, is the total
value of scofing at effort. The tarty
fruits OF long endeavor are sweeter to
look at than the skeletons of the de-
stroyed efforts of others.
The only one who has tho right to
criticise is he who has earned his right
by the blood and the sweat OF his en-
deavor yet even then not right to
criticise methods and means, but only
inaction. The crime of doing nothing,
hoping nothing, expecting nothing.
foreseeing nothing, prophesying moth
ing is one that doers haye the right to
denounce. Stress and strain free the
wings; inaotlon keeps us slothiul
worms.
The world does not clamor for advice
but it demands service service that is
our own and not dissections of our
neighbors. The test-stone of all striv-
ing ones is Service" No man who is
spending and being spent for his day
and the days to come, can be all wrong,
no matter how much his methods may
differ from ours. His working makes
all things we'll just as the motion of
the waters in the we'll of Scripture car
ried healing in their turmoil. The
worker beside us may be out of touch
with us; even out OF sympathy posi-
bly, quite wrong from our point of view
though none of US is ALL right
but the immutable laws of the good
universe will bring his dross to naught,
while the silver and the gold OF him
will endure. More hands across chasms
of Misunderstanding will be flttingly
and humane usherfng in
of the century.

Ii is known here that European gov

diplomats as to the extent this govern

though it has been unofliClally stat"I
in official circles that Il rupture in d.

ed the Sublime Porte did not pay the
claims What the officials have feared
is an effort on the part Of European
governments to Complicate the Amcrl-

volving claims they have pending
against the Sublime Porte.
Even if Russia has irtimated to Tur-
Key that she will aid her in preventing
the enforcement If the American de-
mands, it is said i'll official circles that
such an intimation is unnecessary, as
the United States never proposed 10 ~

Novel though the proposition was.
from diplomatic standpoint. yet It IS
learned to be true that the effort was
made by the Porte to pay this Amer
lean claim under cover Of an order for
4 warship to he built in the United
States for Turkey. The reasons for the
failure of the project We're several: the
United States government has no war
ships for sale and is not authorized 70
build any for foreign order. Then
there is no warrant of law for entering
into an arrangement with private
shipbuildinG concern for the collection
of an international obligation in the
manner proposed. Lastly. judging
by the experience of concerns that
have had dealings with the Turkish
| government, any shipbuildcr accepting
the order from Turkey would require
a guarantee from the United states
