TRUE MANLIEESS.

Every boy longs to be man.
1t may not be amiss to study the
character of a true gentlemen.
What is a true gentleman?
Manliness means virtue, virtue
means purity, and purity means
power. Never imagine that the
staggering braggart is power
full man, or that such characters
as Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Sulli-
van or their tribe are ideal
American citizens.
The braggart and bully is
always a week character. The
true gentleman is strong. The
man who endures and overcomes
and lives to bless other lives is
the true gentleman. The true
gentleman is not made out of
clothes. Fine feathers do not
make fine birds. So no art of
of the tailor can make a man
out of a touch by dressing him
in fine suit. Some of the men
with toughest exterior possess
the truest and tenderest spirits,
while some dressed in the height
of fashion are demons incarnate.
We like the man with sunny
smile and a loving heart, an
honest voice, and a firm grip of
the hand, a clear eye, keen wit
ted with boundless energy and a
never failing smile, a man sin
cere, sublimely unseltish, inspir-
ed by a true warmth of heart.
Give us such a man. obedient to
the claims of others, rather than
the prim and pompous man
whose heart has the frigidity of
an iceberg. We believe what
we need today in the home and
in the church and in business is
not an austere and unbending
PuritanIsm, but "a large hearted,
cheerful spirited Christian
brotherliness, inspired not by
dollars and acres, but by obedi-
ence to our highest and best
natures. The man who encases
his life in business claims, OF
wraps his being in a mantle
woven out of selfish acts can
never save the world. What we
want is sympathy. There are
many young men who have fallen
in the tragedy of life; they are
bleeding from some wound; what
they need is brothers hearty
handshake, loving voice saying
"God bless you, my boy, all i:
not lost; your life is not gone
there are yet unwasted days in
which you can win back a good
name and an honorable place il
society. Be man; III stand
by you; you can count on me-.

1t is not always the husband
that brings home a key of mo-
lasses or a barrel of sugar that
makes home sweet. Some per-
sons seem to feel that, when the
necessities of the family are pro-
vided for, their duty is complet-
ed, forgetting that Better is a
dinner of herbs where love is,
than a stalled OK and hatred
Herewith, 2" "a word fifty spok-

to show themselves "kindly aifec-
donated one toward another.n
They shrink from the possibility
of being called soft" but we
are told by the best authority
that "a soft answer turneth
away wrath" Let love at home
always stand with her arms over
us, to help lift the burdens that
otherwise would weigh us down.
Love lights a lamp that CLOVIS on

gloom. Love, sweet angel

steadies the hand that carries
cordial to the sufferers lips.

Man was made to protect, love
and cherish, not to undervalue,
neglect or abuse woman. Treat
ed, educated and esteemed, as
she merits, she rises IN dignity,
becomes the refner, and imparts
a milder, softer tone to man.
No community has ever exhibit
ed the retinements of civilization
and social order where woman
was held in contempt and their
rights not properly respected and
preserved. Degrade woman and
you degrade man more. She is
the fluid of the thermometer of
society, placed there by the hand

You can make the clock strike
before the hour by putting your
hands on it, but it will strike
wrong. You can tear the rose
bud open before its time, but
you may mar the beauty of the
rose. So we may spoil many a
gift or blessing which God is
preparing for us by our own
eager haste. He is weaving our
lives into patterns of beauty and
strength. He has a perfect plan
for each. Don't pull at the
threads of life. Don't hurry the
Almighty's plan. We must live
by prayer in ignorance of life.
Gods love is the motive of all
delay-to give us unexpected
and surprising blessings.
