WHAT CONSTITUTES IDEAL CITIZENSHIP
Hon representative from anomla r

There is the breadth of the best Of
human nature in this question, for un.
derlying 1t are the active impulses of
all noble thought and endeavor.
Within its exterior boundaries exists
that climate of the mind which nour
Ishes pure living.
Citizenship involves the masses, and
yet lies at the root OF individual char.
acter, for no man can be part OF
good citizenship who is not first q
good man.
A man may be good citizen with
out being an ideal one.
Good citizenship is subserved by a
just observance of law and order, so
lar as the Government is concerned,
and fair dealing in the private rela.
tons between individual citizens.
Ideal citizenship reaches into the
higher moral attitudes, where mans
faculties are inspired by pure thought
and lofty conceptions.
He only is competent to be ranked
as an ideal citizen whose daily life Is
the unfailing expression of spiritual
feeling.

change by change of standpoints, or
n detection of angles, and this sugges.
ton of change was involved in the
great question propounded by Christ
to PLATE. What is trutf1?-
The office of spirituality in mans ca.
reer and conduct is to work upward to
high ideals, and that this is so. the
world has never questioned. -....
1t may be possible that this truth is
many sided. but from whatever stand.
point II is viewed ii presents Away s
the same Illuminated front.
The scientist declares that thought
is but the breaking down of cells with.
in the brain. and the action of matter
along the lines of highest possibility.
BY this process the astronomer
sweeps the heavens and follows the
stars to the verges d creation: the
geologist reads the history of the
world in the rocky records of the hills;
the poet dreams sweet dreams ana in.
terprets our experience through .hc
lips Of song; the sculptor makes the
cold, dull marble all but breathe, and
the painter gives to, the canvas an i'm.
mortality of beauty.
The scientist may be right so far as
he goes. but what breaks the cells
within the brains? They are but tho
machinery by which some force with.
out the cells them selves give life and
motion to them. This force is the
spiritual energy that constitutes tic
divinity of men and distinguishes
them from all the other animals Of the
world.
The exaltatlon of men in all ages
and lands to greatness has been but
the result Of the intensity of this spir.
itual force acting. oftentimes, and in
most cases subconsciously.
The absence of motion in this force
has lowered whole races to the level
of savagery.
That this force has and does act
subconscfously is evidenced by tho
fact that there may be lofty mental
life without corresponding visible
moral condition.
This is one of the. mysteries of the
world, for It is hard to understand how

subconscious spirituality can pursue
its career without obedience morally
to that spirituality that made great.
ness possible.
We hold It as a truth manifest to
him who desires to know, as problem
in mathematics, that no great mind
was ever quickened to action by a
mere mental ideal.
The ideal is spiritual no matter what
the life may be, and he who works IN
the great workshops of the world
works in obedience to ideals that are
pure, and If he fails in personal pur
ity of life, the failure comes because
Of divorce between his ideal and his

Man becomes truly great when his
spiritual ideals take possession and hs

one must be truly good.

about sixteen years of age and a
daughter of w. S. Freelin of the
firm of Harper & Freelin, was fill
ing lamp at their residence the oil
became ignited in some mysterious
manner and the lamp exploded.
The burning oil flew all over her
and the carpets and her clothing was
almost entirely burned from her
body Heroic efforts were made by
her family, John Pfaff and Fred
Hoover who were passing at the
time. Mr.. Fred Hoover's hands
were burned quite severly in ex-
tinguishlng the flames. Drs. Mitch
ell, Kerley and Woods were inn
mediatey called in AMI everything
possible was cone to alleviate her
suffering. Miss Freelin is now re-
ported as being IN a very critical
condition from the burns. 1t is
hoped that her injuries are rot as
severe as they appear to be at pres.
ent. The signal of the ice plant
whistle called out the fire company
who promptly responded but the
flames had been extlnguished before
their arrival.
