true but we can express 1t better thus: He is an engine without Ire, q ms chine without a motive power, man with no moving spirit. He has never felt the expulsive force of new af- lection, or the impulsive force Of a new ideal. He has no purpose' no lofty aim. no holy ambition.
 Young gentlemen, no man, no ser of men, no institution can do Sou more harm than quench the spirit within you. I can forgive the short sighted college that labors to train bodies, for as far as that goes it is good. I can bemoan and forgive those colleges that strain minds. for they know not what they do. But I find 1t hard to be patient with the men or the institutions-and I know them both--that restrain the spirit, chill honorable enthusiasm. cramp the higher life, and crush the heart while they cram the head. The ideal of the Bible and philosophy Is alike in this, that both injoin the more abundant life, the life of large plans and noble pur- poses, of broad sympathies and gener- ous companionships, of opportunities found, wants filled. full faith in the present and hope for the future. Do not exist but live, live, live. Spell live; SQell IL DaChWdTOS. W nat tc IL to live, it is the reverse of evil. Run counter to all evil and be alive. What Is evil, it Is the very opposite of live. In 1t are always and everywhere the seeds of death.
 Now. young gentlemen, hive brought you an earnest message. In the days of the old Southland God forbid that should disparage them the speaker on such occasions as this would have risen upon wings of en- trancing eloquence, and held you spell bound in his dizzy flights and bewil- dering mazes. have come far to speak a helpful word. have spoken frankly because I have believed strongly; I have spoken earnestly as I wished your veal. shall be oatis- fled not if all men praise the spe aker, but if one man is helped to fuller life by the speech.
 Count no time lost spent in prepa- ration for living. Be. not concerned about tomorrow's duties until today's tasks are done. Fill your present circle until you press against the bounding periphery. and then you will burst through into new and larger circles. DO your best now and bet ter best will follow. Ne brawny men of muscle, ye brawny men of mind, ye men of moral weight and Quenchless spirit, train hand and head and heart, that. happy in your full equipment of body, mind, sould and spirit. you may stand four square to opposition and in four fold fitness go forth to valiant duty for your day and land"

Tn Defiance of the Text.

 was stationed in the town of P- during my earlier ministry, and was profoundly impressed from what saw that I ought to preach against the rebellion against Gods law. I selected for a text Isaiah i:2, T have nour- ished and brought up children and they have rebelled against me"
 I had formally introduced the sub feet. and repeated the text that the au- dience might see the connection be- tween it and the first proposition when my little two-year old boy sltpp- ed out of his mothers arms, and, talk ing his stand directly in front of the pulpit, gave such a scream of defiance as to startle the entire audience. Il is needless to say that this, following immediately the quotation of the text destroyed the solemnity of the sermon so far as the audience was concerned.

MIR. HANDlTER ALL RIGHT.

Governor Brown seems to think
that the trouble with the Democratic
party is that the wrong men are
turning the cranks, and managing
the valves, and oiling the various
parts ofthe party machine. Achange
of enginemen and fremen 10 the one
thing needful, in his judgment. In
this we not only believe that he is
mistaken, but we ara confident that
uine-tenths Of the rank and file ofthe
party know that he 10 mistaken.
His onslaught ON the management Of
the party's interests by those in
charge of the political machinery has
fallen fat. The defense made by
Secretary Wilkinson Of the State
Committee of the work done by
Chairman Murray Vaudiver and his
associates 10 substantially sound.
Mr.. Vandiver il q man thoroughly
qualified for the work with which he
has been entrusted, He 10 prudent,
energetic, courteous and sagacious.
None Of the disasters which have be-
fallen the Democrats are due to de-
fects in the management of party
business by the officers Of the party
committees. The trouble lies deep.

WRITING AND SPEAKING.

"The message is eternal" says the
CHURcHMAN, and with the occasion
the mode in which we deliver the
message must change also. Those
who have the privilege of speaking
to thoughtful men naturally want
to speak thoughtfully to give their
hearers the result of ripest reflection
in carefully chosen language. This
they will certainly fail to do, unless
they have thoroughly digested their
thought beforehand, and unless they
have committed it in some form to
paper. Reading, says Bacon, makes
a full man, but writing an exact one
one. The habit Of writing is ms es-
sential as the habit of speaking only
we must remember that they are not
the same thing, and that each 10 a
help to the other. We do not write
as we would speak. The sermon and
GRAFTON, are, as their names imply,
something to be said, the thing that
is written is for theeye or the printer
And yet, he who speaks and he who
writes conveys a messagein thought,
and he should possess it and all that
pertains to it in clear and complete
understanding, in order to deliver it
in the most effective manner.
How the speaker Is TO have as
forcible things to say, az the writer
would have to read, 10 another mat
ter. 1.-THE messenger has no message
to deliver, if he has no matter that is
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1901-06-07

worth delivering, he had better
neither write norspeak. Tl.ematter
of writing, after all, is but a matter
of prepal Ation, as a matter ofspeak-
ing until it becomes an acquired
power, is a matter of preparation. A
man who will speak with power
must write with power, and the man
who will speak with power must nc
quire that freedom of thought and
expression which can only come from
arduous labor and long practice.
For those who speak without manu-
script and with no preparation, it
were far better that they force them
selves to write in order that they i'm
prove their manner of thought even
if they lose something in attractive
ness of manner. In short, whether
one writes or speaks, a message
worth receiving and remembering
labo, of preparation is requisite. The
greatest genius is the genius of hard
work.
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1901-06-07

so that they may always have an
office. If their votes were enough to
carry success, all would be well and
good, but unfortunately this is not
the case.
There are a lot of people who be-
lieve that the reward of partisan
positions should not be doled out by
the ring master only to his own
favorite clowns. They think that
the question of Office is anincidential
one and therefore no man or set Of
men who make it a business should
hold a monopoly on all the places.
If the managers would only see
that their present policies can result
in but one thing, we think that they
would hesitate before it is too late.
This article does not embody the
views of disappointed Office seekers,
but 10 intended to reflect a sentiment
existing in the minds of many good
Democrats who never held Office nor
are they now seekers for recognition.
They only want a change from the
old narrow nut into the broader road
Of more liberal recognition Of those
who are deserving; whether they have
the endorsement of their ward boss
or not.
