their tolerant superiority when they say.

Books that have become classics-books
that have had their day and now get more
praise than perusal-always remind me Of

find themselves retired upon half pay.

and the collectors are after it. The fool
and his bookrlate are soon parted. To dis
the only significance it has, that Of indi-
eating the past or present ownership Of the
volume in which 1t is placed.
The thing one reads and likes and then
forgets Is of no account. The thing that
stays and haunts one and refuses to be for

Some OF the greatest questions with which
humanity has ever had to deal are still TO
be settled-are. indeed, pressing down upon
our own time and day with startling ac-
tuality. Now, indeed. is the time for the
christian ideals and precepts of purity of
brotherhood, of kindness, of truthfulness,
of fair dealing, of charity, to be kept in
sight and mind, in international relations
In the relations of races, in the relations
between employers and employed-in a
word, throughout the entire world of af-
fairs. 1t is practical man, a student of
economics-the Hon. Carroll D. Wright
who makes the following remarkable state
ment: Il believe that in the adoption of the
philosophy of the religion of Jesus Christ
as a practical creed for the conduct of busi-
ness lies the easiest and speediest solution
of those industrial difficulties which are ex-
citing the minds of men to-day and leading
many to think that the crisis of govern
ment Is at hand"
