Want of Thought

Many years ago the writer was a men,
Der of little society known as the
Myrtle league. We promised one an
other to refrain from speaking unkindly
of our friends and aceuaintances. Each
one wore a tiny twig of the sweet myrtle.
The plant is an emblem of love. 1t served
as a reminder and a help in entertaining
kind thoughts, and the absence of the
little badge was silent confession to haV-
ing erred.
Do not many of us indulge in this habit
of criticising our neighbors, when it is
entirely unnecessary? / say indulge adj
visedly, for much as / despise the habit,
l frequently find myself tripping.
But the idea connected with this sub
ject is this: You who try TO be charitable
and there are a blessed few who do. has
1t ever occurred to you. that you some
times unconsciously cause others to err
on this point, by suggesting in your con-
versation that which leads others to talk
of the faults of their neighbors The men,
tion OF a name. or of an incident, will Oft
Ell call forth an unkind word which YOU
yourself would not have made. And do
you know that we can frequently so guide
the conversation or so direct the drift of
talk, as to prevent our friends from crit
icising in any thoughtless way their fell
lows.
l speak from unhappy experience, for
l have thoughtlessly mentioned name
or subject which / have regretted i'm
mediately, because of the unkind thought
that was suggested to another.
Let us help one another TO think kind
thoughts. for more evil is wrought by
want of thought than is wrought by want
OF heart. Myrtle.

Keep out of the Past

Whatever you do in this wonderful world,
In business. in church or at play
Whatever of gain or of loss you have
met
With the others who go your way,
Keep out of the past
From the first to the last
And away from its worries stay;
The present has wealth you would never
suspect,
II prudent you are and wisely elect
To live in the light OF today.
The things that are past did very well
once;
Today they are rusty and stale.
That trouble you had with your fellow
Did you struggle in vain and fail?
What of ii, indeed?
There Is all the more need
That you start on different trail.
Don't take TO the woods, whatever you do.
Just look right ahead; there's a fortune
fo- you
In keeping well trimmed sail
So cramped can We be in our mental
states,
So burdened with might-have-beens,
That life will become a woeful waste
But stop and reflect
You will never be wrecked
BY your own or another's sins
II the past you will keep in its proper
And meet what is yours with a, candid
'Tis the man of today who wins.

The Truant

II was bright and genial day.
When. tempted by the open gate
And by little truant mate.
Our Baby Willie ran away;
And prompted by each varying fear
Impelled by agoniZed alarm
That he. perchance, might come tC
harm.
We hunted for him far and near.
Yet all i'm vain his baby name
We called and called with no reply,
Till with the sunset in the sky
Back TO his home the baby came.
Poor. tired child how glad he crept
Into his mothers arms and said
I'm glad I'm home les go TO bed
And oh, how peacefully he slept
Glad am homer II was the cry
That many weary wanderer gives,
When, tired of the life he lives,
He turns him TO the wall to die.
And as l to my joyous breast
Took back my truant child that day,
So will the arms that live for aye
Receive each truant soul ito rest.

More Than a Dream

That heaven is more than a dream.

Borne down by the passion OF sin,

And strengthen the guard from Wltnln.

Must cover and shrink from the light
That flows from the throne OF the Spirit
And shows us the path TO the right.

He tells one or two interesting
stories which illustrate the rapacity
and even dishonesty of some collectors.
One man sent to another whom he knew
had many letters from a famous man
recently deceased, and asked him for
some of them for his collection. Hav-
ing sent them the man was shocked to
find them advertised for sale, thus Civ
ing the impression that he was endeav-
oring to make money out of his ac-
quaintance with his late friend. This
is but a mild example of the manners
of the autograph collector who knows
nothing apparently of the amenities of
life.
Hall Caine, whose latest book, "The
Prodigal Son." was published in the
autumn by the Appletons, was asked to
put the gist of his book in a few words,
and he replied that it was do we get
our deserts?" Then he went on to say:
1.-The parable of the prodigal SOD is
the most human and beautiful of the
parallels Of Christ, but perhaps II is
also the most perplexing. Has it ever
occurred to you to ask yourself what
would be the result If its incidents
were transferred to real life and its
teachings were accepted as an example
of conduct among men? If good
father could so spoil a son by over
indulgence. what would be the conse-
quence? If a son, after wasting his
substance in riotous living, and coming
down to the condition in which no
man will give unto him. could return
home and be completely forgiven and
taken back into the full enjoyment of
the position he has forfeited, what.
would be the effect? If an elder broth
er who has lived a riotous life could
be superseded in the end by a younger
brother who has lived an evil life, what
would be the result? Would not the
social order be disturbed? Would not
all the ordinary laws of life be vio-
lated? Could law and order be main
tanned in a community in which such
things were possible? In short, would
not civilization be reduced to some
thing like chaos?
These are all pertinent questions, and
and have been touched upon in Mr..
Gaines story, which is popular and one
of the best selling books of the winter.

@OR some time there has been run
II ming in the Critic a series Of
III papers by Laurence Hutton on
the literary life which make very
good reading and give the reader an
insight into the writer's kindly and
generous nature. Although we'll known
and able to command good price for
his work, still Mr.. Hutton's youth is
not so far behind him that he has for
gotten his first efforts to obtain a
place, nor lost sympathy with ambi-
tious literary aspirants. He thoroughly
understands the difficulties encoun-.
tered at the outset, and it would be
Well for those who desire to reach an
editors ear to peruse these papers of

hint given which will be of value to

autograph hunters, and the many and
devious ways they have of obtaining
the written names of famous folk. 1t
is evident that Mr.. Hutton has but lit

after. reading his account of some
strange things done by them, it is not

dwells upon - and which is common
everywhere and by no means confined

courtesy among those who ask for an
autograph and get it. He said he was
so unused to being thanked for any
