HON. W. W. ST0cKSTlLL.

Hon. w. w. Stockstill, candidate for
reelection to the office of Superln-
tendent of Education for this County.
Is one OF the best known and most
popular educators in the State. His
election to the presidency of the state
County Supt. Association in Gulfport
last May-an office he Is well quail
fed to fills but an evidence OF the
esteem In which the teachers and su-
perintendents of Mississippi hold Mr..
Stockstill. He is gentleman of the
old school type, courteous and gra-
cious. His integrity and morality are
beyond reproach. hard and consci-
entious worker, he devotes all his time
and energy to his profession He was
the first man in this County to ad-
vocatt "a six months school term, and
improyement of rural school houses.
IT must be gratifying to the people,
as well as Mr.. Stockstill. to know that
his efforts have not been in vain. The
sta ndard of education has been raised
to a higher rank. the six months term
IS now established. and better school
buildings are to be found in severai
parts of the County. The good and re-
f1ning influences of these successes
upon the people, both old and young,
need not be commented upon. Mr..
stockstilrs chief desire Is for greater
Hancock County. He believes nrmiy
that good roads and good schools are
the principal means OF realizing his
desire, thereby developing the County.

FORCE OF WILL.

Drummond called love the greatest
thing in the world, and Orison SWEET
Marden, in his sketch, entitled "Char-
acter", says; 'If Drummond was wise
in calling an abstract quality, love, the
greatest thing in the world, then love in
the concrete, embodied in character, is
the grandest thing in the world"
And, yet, how few men make any
really persistent struggle to attain the
highest possible state of human perfec-
tion-how few endeavor through all the
vicissitudes of life, to build up a noble
and unselfish character! Doubtless,
every boy and young man dreams
dreams of living life as near as posi-
BILE to his ideal of absolute perfection.
But, amid the innumerable tempta-
tions of modern life, how few ever real
lize the dreams of their youth! Yet
there are some who do; and, granting
this, why cannot everyone reach the
goal of his ambitions Simply because
BY contact with cold world his ambitious
hopes are dulled, he yields more and
more to temptation, and in matter OF
a few short years the victim is suffering
from what might aptly be termed "pa-
ralysis of the wili". II preventive for
THIS paTdlySlS Oh the Will De doiululo-
tered to the patient in the early stage OF
the malady, much trouble will be
averted.
BY preventive for paralysis OF the
willh mean to say that if our children
were taught from the cradle up that
they are MASTERS of their own destiny
that they possess will power which only
needs deyelopment-tha their will is
simply servant to the brain, the per-
centage of unselfish, noble and true men
and women would undoubtedly be in
creased dastonishingly. Ofcourse, every
boy and girl is taught from infancy
what is right, and is shown and eau
toned against the many temptations OF
life. But they are told to 'stIy" to fol-
low the right patn. What normal child
does not DESIRE to lead an upright life?
Instead of going straight ahead, how
ever, with unlimited confidence in their
own ability to walk rightly, they merely
try for while and, yftentimes, give up.
Excuses are plentiful, but the root OF
the evil is seldom struck at. All of us
have heard some young man say: 81

rettes"; or, "I wish l could quit drink
ing" And he really believes that he
lacks the power to reform. He is most
striking specimen of the victim of
"paralysis of the will''. His control
over himself through abuse and lack of
use has grown so weak that he is not
aware of having any force of will.
If boy, having the ability to dis
criminate between right and wrong, was
made to feel that he possessed the un-
limited force of will, which is the heri-
tage of all, to carry out his noble ideas,
to live for the betterment of mankind as
well as for his own advancement, would
not this conjunction of qualities make
well-nigh ideal man?
With the real broadness of mind, the
integrity and the sterling worth that
must inevitably result from right living
and earnest endeavor, the Almighty
Dollar would lose much of its attractive
ness. We would all live for nobler
purpose, do more good, and finally go to
our eternal resting place satisfied with
our own achievements,
"The real benefactors of mankind"
says Emerson, "are the men and women
who can raise their fellow beings out of
the world of corn and money; who make
them forget their bank account by in
teresting them in their higher selves;
who can raise more money -getters into
the intellectual realm, where they will
cease to measure greatness and happi-
ness by dollars and cents; who can
make men forget their stomachs and
feast on beings banquet
And what reward can be richer than
that which is the compensation of those
who live up to the best that is in them
that reward which is priceless good
name? Without a good name, gold has
no value; birth, no distinction; station,
no dignity; beauty, no charm; age, no
reverence.
'sLife's more than breath and the quick round of
blood;
IT'S great and busy heart.
We live in deeds. not years; in thoughts not
breathS;
In feelings not in figures on dial.
We count time by heart throbS. He most lives
Who thinks most feels the noblest, acts tho
best"

LIFE.

pleasant one: tender loving vigilance
watches over every step; they go
forth girt and shod and mantled, to
walk over velvet lawns and smooth
terraces others tread Alpine paths,
rugged, snowbound and ice-girt.
But once when the health of the
midnight,
Deepened the sleep of the land.
And over mountain and valley
The stars by the breezes were
famed. ssssg
Going forth / stood in II mid
night,
To gather its deep tender glow,
And seek the beauty and mystery
OF the night in it's muffled flow.
When 10, 1 beheld as in a vision,
a young girl; she had just stepped
over the threshold of womanhood In
to the beautiful world beyond. It
was garden of Eden. Flowers
bloomed at her feet. birds carolled
overhead, sunshine bathed in a shower
of gold. The maiden's heart sang
within her, and her eyes reflected
love and beauty in their innocent
depths. Her cheeks and lips were
dyed with the roseate hues of youth.
On she ran. on and on adown fiow-
er-strewn path of pleasure, on to the
golden haze which yelled the beyond.
She raised her glad eyes to Gods
Heaven: This" she cried with JOY,
this is Life" A cloud came be-
tween us, and when the veil was
raised beheld woman passing
through the gate of sorrow. She
walked slowly, for she was weary and
the way was steep and narrow. The
fierce sun beat pitilessly on her droop-
ing head Her hair hung all un-
kempt, and here and there in Its
length glistened the silver marks OF
grief. Purple shadows were on her
cheek where once was the bloom of
youth. and In her eyes brooded mis-
cry. She clasped her hands over her
(bleeding) heart and from Its bleed
ing depths she cried: "Ah. this is
Life" Again a cloud came between
u.s. but soen the mists were cleared
and I beheld "a pilgrim, old and
worn with Life's struggles, who lay
dying In the dear Valley OF the
Shadow, Her faded eyes gazed into
the deepening gloom and dimly de-
scried afar off Cross towering over
her It's arms were outstretched as
If in beckoning. Slowly she crept
towards 1t. Her hands and feet were
torn by the rugged path she had
passed.
As she drew near, she perceived
strange effulgence which shone
around the top or the cross IN tne
form of a golden crown. She raised
her face with low moan. and a tiny
ray glided down in the darkness and
touched to gold again her snowy
locks. She strove in vain to pierce
beyond the wall of blackness. and
with a mighty effort rose and chung
to the outstretched arms of the cross.
Suddenly the majestic figure OF
Death stood before her. She shrank
in agony of fear. But he placed his
hand on her forehead and bade her
look up. A smile lowered on her
face She raised her outstretched
hands to Heaven, and then turning
to Death. she shrank into his arms.

1t is not the deed we do,
Though the deed be ever so fair,
But the love that the dear Lord
looketh unto,
Hidden with lowly care
In the heart OF the deed so fair.
The love is the priceless thing
The treasure Of our treasures must
hold,
Or ever the Lord will take the gift,
Or tell the worth OF the gold
BY the love that can not be told.

There must be no dark room develop

number and amount. When other savings
Institutions establish their character in
some such frank and open way there will
against public distrust. The institute will
supply them. But savings bankers must
first get the beams Of secretiveness out

Bernard Shaw's Religion.
From Current Literature.

From Current Literature.
1t will come as a surprise to many to learn
that Bernard Shaw, the subversive and par
adoxical dramatist, regards religion as the
most interesting thing in the world" He
has confessed that. as a dramatic critic I'm
London. he often wondered why people paid
high prices to see bad theatrical perform
ances, when, by going to Westminster Alb
hey or st. Paurs Cathedral. they might
have listened to much more interesting
talk free OF charge. On the invitation OF
the Rev. r. ]. Campbell. Mr. Shaw recently
occupied the pulpit of the most influential
Congregationalist Church in England, the
London City Temple, and from this point of
vantage defined his religious views. His
address was attentively listened to by a
large and enthusiastic audience. and. ac-
cording to reporter for The Christian
Commonwealth Uondon) was distinguished
by an attitude essentially reverent." In
fact Mr.. Campbell, who presided over the
meeting and took occasion to affirm his sub
stantial agreement with Shaw's position, has
since declared: THE one thing that aston
ished the City Temple audience was the
moral seriousness Of Mr.. Shaw"
According to Mr.. Shaw's definition. re-
ligious man Is "a man who has a constant
sense, amounting on his part to a positive
knowledge, that he Is only the instrument of
q Power which is a Universal Power, the
Power that created the universe and
brought it into being; that he Is not i'm the
world for his own narrow purposes, but that
he Is the instrument of that Power" Given
that belief said Mr.. Shaw, 1t was Of
consequence what else a man might hold;
without 1t a man had no religion in him.
