Office in a steady stream. he would MS
cover in 1t familiarity with the Bible
which demonstrates tina. thruout this
country there are still multitudes OF
people who know very much about the
Book. This familiarity. we observe, Is
displayed as much by infidels as by
believers. and among the number are
obviously people OF the younger gem
Grafton no less than OF the older.
Generally. however, the attitude OF
these writer's toward the Bible Is very
different from that OF former times. 1t
is critical rather than devotional. even
among most of those who undertake
the defense OF religious faith against
inffdelity, and thus It indicates how
profound and widespread has been the
influence OF the so-callei "higher criti-

ENOUGH GOOD AS A FEAST.

A news story in the press dispatches
recently, told of woman in the east
who, thru a simple Kindness to an ell
derby stranger seas made his heir. and
upon his death was surprised to find
herself the legatee to nearly a million.
Three other heirs cropped up and
threatened suit to break the Will
Why said the legatee. there are
but four Of us. Let us divide 1t equal
ly,' and the settlement was effected
upon this basis. She knew when she
had enough. Her share represented
more than she needed, and she failed
to see any reason why she should
figh. thru the courts for something she
would be unable to use after she had
won it. That woman had more COM
mon human sense than all the million-
aires of the world rolled into one.
Millionaires of late, have been prone
to pity themselves, and profess envy of
the simple life and manners of the
comparatively poor. Mr.. Carnegis
pities the millionaire's son. Mr..
Rockefellers millions are overshadow-
ed by his indigestion. 1t is a hard thing
to be millionaire His way, like the
transgressor's, Is hard and possibly
the similitude between him and the
does not end there. All
this nlaudlin self sympathy of the mil
lionaire fails to awake public respon-
siveness. Ordinary people do not be-
lieve the rich man feels up to his pro-
fessions. The average millionaire has
not the complete confidence OF the pub
lie. He has generally lost 1t somewhere
along the road to his millions.
After all. the millionaire has much to
feel bad over. Upon men who have
retained a measure of human person
ally, the mere possession of more
money than they know what to do
with is likely to pail when compared
with the fulfillment OF certain human
desires and longings that money can
not purchase or supply. To any but
a human adding machine. money grows
more impersonal as life nears its end.
The EMBELLISHMENTS OF the adulation
and attentiveness which his money at
tracts and commands. Is, impressed on
the ultra wealthy man. He suspects
kindness, questions affection, and sees
In every attention paid him, tribute
to his money and plan for its posses
sion.s That is why he envies the piow-
man whose friends are his own and
whcse. little family circle is held about
him by his own personality, not by his
power as IA testator.
A great fortune is rnonstrosity. 1t
is a burden. Money should be devoted
to comfort, not, comfort sacrificed to
take care of money. A competence
which brings the necessities and fair
share OF the Injuries OF life to Its pos
SCISSOR, is ideal in comparison. Ease
and luxury are not the chief aim of
human existence. A good business, a
bank balance. comfortable home and
the capacity to enjoy them. constitute
a combination that overshadows all
the steel stocks and oil fields in the
possession OF dyspeptic millionaire.
