if the Objectionable sentence would
stand, and the reply put the church
on record as saying worship in the
home is thing of the past.

KICK OR BE GENTLE

DO we" said Mr. MacQuilltinbee.
get more by kicking for what We
want or In the long run do we get
more by being patient and waiting?
This is a question that each OF MS
must settle for himself and it is, !
suppose, largely matter of individ
uality OF temperament. Some men are
natural, hardy, able ldckers, who kick
for what they want and get il, and
some of US are timid and non-aggres
stye, no kickers at all, and so 1t might
seem that really this is question not
worth discussing, that will settle itself
automatically in each case according
to the man.
"Still there are many men not natur
al fighters, but who have in them a
spark of fight, to whom this question
OF whether to fight or not must often
recur, Shall kick against this injus
tice or these cold plates at the board
ing house or this poor pay? Shall |
kick against any OF the many things
that may afflict us or shall be patient
and wait for this thing to right itself!
This to many man who may be gen,
tie but who takes life hard may often
be a very grave question and very
hard to settle.
People do reGpect us more If we
don't lay down and let people walk on
us, and We know that If we are content
to be sat on we shall continue TO be
sat on; but what are we going to do
about IL? Are we going to kick or be
patient?
There is much In knowing when
and how to kick for there are men
who kick bmnderingly and futilely
and then there are men who kick
gently and kindly and yet with an
evidence of reserve power and resolu
ton behind the kick that brings re
spect aud results.
Il am speaking now. you under
stand, not of the natural hardy kickers
who with abundant ability to back
them stride in and kick with vigor
and power, getting what they want
because they can make good. but of
the multitude of men TO whom. as |
have said. whether to kick or not may
be grave question. These men must
consider, and it may be that they do (
spend many trying days and nights In |
considering. whether they shall stand
up and fight or let things go

they must know when 10 kick and how (
If they succeed they take a step up,i

fore. 1t is a grave question for many I
people.
"As to many things that NAV not be
purely personal We commonly leave
the kicking to be done by other PEG.
Pile; and In their kicking we may find
much relief, but rs to whether we our
selves shall kick or be patient wheth
