IMPORTANCE OF SILENT HOUR.
Everyone Needs Some Time by Them
selves Every Day.

selves every Day.
There is no need in this busy age ana
country to impress the necessity of ac-
ton; there is great and sore need to
teach in this country today the lesson of
the supreme Importance of being. If
executive men II women in any depart
ment of life are wanted they can be
found in this country by the scores: but
if men and women WHO have mastered
the philosophy of their subjects by med
itation and sustained thought are needed
they can be counted on the fingers of one
hand, and in some departments it is for
tunate if they can be found at all
Richness, freshness, faith, youth-these
are fed by the great fountains of religion,
of nature. of human fellowship, of art
and these are the fountains that keep
men young. 1t is the constant feeding of
the growing interests which absorb them
that keeps men and women young. These
fountains lie all about us. but how few
of use have access to them, In this age
in which the cry of the world and the
call of duty ting like a telephone in every
house, it is well 20 remember that the
end of life is not in always running to
Il telephone because there is Il good
cause ut the other end of 1t. There may
be dissipation III good works just as in
any other way. and people so depiete
themselves by doing good works that
they cease to have any spiritual power
to give or any freshness or vitality to
dilfuSe.
We must keep Il zone of silence about
our lives. Every one of us needs an
hour or two every day by ourselves. We
need detachment from men. sccldson
from the world. The great things come
out of silence. not out of noise; and in
this tumultuous age. with the clang Of
cable car and the ringing of the tele-
phone bell continually in our ears, we
must hedge ourselves around with II zone
of silence. or every bit of spiritual
power, of religion, of energy and of divi-
nation Of the prophet will go out of us.
We need also to keep some leisure for
ourselves We have no right to give
away all our time. The crops are grow.
ing in the ground around us without Il
sound. They are going to seed the whole
continent, and they are doing it at their
leisure; our haste does not touch them,
We must learn to keep some time for
ourselves, and not live up to the very
margin of our days. Honest people al
ways live within their income; but there
are hundreds and Thousands of us who
are living beyond our incomes in the
matter of time-The Outlook

DUTY EXPRESSED BY FOUGHT"
Do What's to Be Done Now; Not To-
morrow.

Il can, therefore | must" is a simple
proposition. but in it lies the solution of
vast problems that confront nations and
threaten their stability. The very ge-
MUS of human progress is in the
ought" which stirs men and women to
action. One who can work mt anything
honorable, who can do something better
than others, or even more acceptably
that thing he ought to do, and so re-
move himself from the great restless
dangerous army of the unemployed.
The honest thing may be ito do a
thing for the sake of the thing itself be-
cause we love it, because we believe in
it, because we feel that it is the one
thing of all other things that we know
we can do. and would like to do" This
indeed, may be honest, but it lacks the
truly noble element which involves obi

THE MAN WHO ALWAYS TRIES.

Whatever your ambition, lad,
Howele r high the prize,
Its mastery may yet be had
by him who always tries.
Does Fortune-with a roseal view,-
Foretoken fair emprise?
The dreamers fancy may pursue
The pladder wins who tries.
Would you attain to Learning's lore,
And be esteemed wise?
BY patient labor grows the store
OF him who always tries.
If Fancy strew the flowers of hope
In beauty meath your eyes,
The summit of her shining slope
Remains for him who tries.
Though Truth appear in homely gray,
Her counsel ne'er despise;
She will be clad in light. one day,
TO honor him who tries!
