surprised to find that their position is not clearly
understood. Many still suppose that they are in favor
of so-called "fonetic reform" They not They
never have advocated any kind of phonetic REFORM and
they do not intend ever to advocate it. They believe
that the two peoples that speak English are far too
conservative to consider any scheme of radical and

How to Live

Live in clear and clean loyalty
to your own affairs. Do not let
another's, no matter how attractive,
tempt you away. So, true and sur
prising relations come to you, and
experiences resembling the mani
festations of genius. There are so
many who are content to be, with
out being anything. Opportunities
approach only those who use them.
Even thoughts cease bye-and-bye
to visit the idle and the perverse.
But sudden and unforeseen helps
and continued encouragement are
vouchsafed to the devout worker.
For God is everywhere, having His
will, and He cannot be baffied.
Make His business yours, as did
His Son. The man who works with
Him is constantly assured of ach-
evement.-Emerson.
