sIf There Be Any Virtue and # There Be Any Praise
Think on These Things"
BY REV. w. J. HINDLEY,
Pastor Pilgrim Congregational Church.

lieve that the Great Father judges
a man by the heights to which he
can climb; and that in the measure
Of our ability to see mankind in the
heights of their noblest struggles.
and not always in the depths of
their moral failures, lies the secret
Of our being in really large way
a positive force in moral and social
betterment.
William T. Stead tells of a dive
keeper in Chicago who provided
meals for several hundred hungrk
men and women during the panic of
'94. and suggests that the vices of
this woman were the abnormal ele-
ments in her character, while the
spirit Of generosity and benevolence
which moved her to feed and care
for the poor, was the normal woman
asserting herself-was the chain no
stronger than its weakest link?
When parents in the home life.
teachers In public schools, citizens
in their relation to representative
men. preachers in their pulpits and
newspaper men in their sanctums
catch more and more of this spirit
or habit of seeing the elements of
virtue and praise and emphasize
these things, the world will soon be
better world than 1t ia now; and
many man or woman who now
fights a hopeless battle with their
sins and shortcomings will win in
the end, because this habit of seeing
the virtue and the praise in others
not only brings new Joy to the one
who cultivates it, but makes every
struggle for the right just that
much easier for the other man.
~ there be any virtue and II
there be any praise, think on these
tFinus."

IN these familiar words the
Apostle Paul commends to his
= church the habit of looking for
and approaching the good side of
humanity; that there are elements
Of weakness In the strongest life,
he does not deny; that there are in
every character some undesirable
and some unideal traits he seems to
assume: but he commends the habit
Of discovering the good side of
these characters, not merely be-
cause of the characters themselves,
but because Of the reactionary in
fluences on those who develop the
habit of seeing the good in their
fellowmen.
1t must be confessed that our age
is placing the emphasis on the crit
ical and reformative spirit; our
magazines and papers are full of
articles and reports dealing with
vexed questions of social and polit-
zeal abuses; there has been created
an abnormal appetite for railing ac-
cusation and the man with the
muck rake has become the popular
knight Grant Of the press; and
while conditions may have been so
extreme as to call for some of this
drastic treatment, yet the inevitable
result has been to create an unfor-
tunate habit Of seeing things from a
critical standpoint, and too often
criticism has degenerated into a
carping spirit Of fault finding and
an undue attention to the dark and
unpromising side of human nature,
so that 1t has become necessary for
leaders Of thought to call halt
and remind themselves and their
people that there Is another side of
life and that there are elements of
virtue in every life and praiseworthy
characteristics in every character,
and this Is the habit which Paul
enjoins upon his church at Phillip.
There is a danger too in this mod
ern spirit that we come to Judge a
life by it's most unfavorable and
least deserving. element; in other
words, We too often judge life by
its weakest act instead of it's high
est; we often hear it said, "a chain
is only as strong as its weakest
link" and while this may be true of
chains, many of us feel that 1t is
not true Of men. and that the ten
dency to Judge men as we do chains
is one of the elements of our mod
ern spirit that we need to change,
for while 1t may unfortunately be
true of some of us that we do judge
a man by the depths to which he
can sink, we are beginning to be-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. H.
After tripping the |. f. (oh, well.
the light fantastic toe," if you
must have it,, you wouldn't expect
a 300 pound president of this
United States to be up at 10 or II
o'clock next morning to shake
hands with bunch of indefatigable
slghtseers, would you? Well, he
was on the job, showing that it can
be done.
There isn't much of this sort Of
thing going on at the white house
during this administration. But this
day was field day. Senator De-
pew had his bunch of New York
editors in tow, and for once the
senators and representatives were
compelled to sit in their special
waiting room and wait. Senator
Depew ran his bunch of Archime-
dean toilers in past the outposts of
secret service men and passed them
rapidly before the Urbane Presence.
The Urbane Presence stood firmly
planted on wide spread feet and
disposed of the whole bunch with
out moving out of his tracks, which
is one way of recuperating from the
|. f. t.
Need it be said that Senator De-
pew was vivacious beyond his years
and introduced everybody and
everybody's wife and daughter to
William H.? No, it need not be
said, and the president beamed
upon the selected editorial fellows
from New York and their sisters
and their cousins, and their aunts.
For it was with them he had
tripped the |. f. t. the night before

stunt with Depew to treat the faith
full to visit to Washington and
show them the president. For 16
years Mr.. Depew has been living in
Washington during sessions of con-
gress, and, to quote a stray goat
not belonging to the domesticated
flock of the upstate republican edi-
tors of New York, Mr. Depew thinks
he has been a part of congress all
that time. Extremely unapprecia-
tive goat to say such a thing! The
flock doubtless will be more dis
eliminating, and re-elect Mr.. Depew
to Washington, if only as an ,,orna-
ment.

that this piece writ for the paper

joined them. Then a young man
who had come with a 1925 camera
secured said camera from the white
house policemen, who impound all
cameras, lunch boxes and funny
looking parcels as fast as they are
lugged in. And he took said samera
and directed said camera against
the flock outside in the bright sun
shine with the benign shepherd, De-
pew, in the midst of them. If that
picture Is a success there will be an
aureole round the head of the SEN
ator from New York, for the sun
was reflected from the shiny sur
face of the one and one-half gallon

.BROWARD MEMORIAL
SERVICE SUNDAY EVE

Sunday evening in the Improvement
club hall the various church organiza-
tions and citizens generally united in a
public memorial service in honor Of
Florida's lamented dead, the Hon. Ma
poleon B. Broward. 1t was fitting that
such a service should be held in Fort
Pierce, for it was here. from the band
stand opposite the depot, that Mr..
Broward made his first public address
in his campaign for Governor of Florida
and so mprest were the people of this
section with his intense honesty of pur.
pose, his logic, his craftsmanship of the
highest order and his integrity and in
terest in the people of the State, that
this city and county has never failed to
give him splendid majorities each of
the three times his name was before
the people.
Fully four hundred were present when
County Judge Fred l.. Hemmings, as
master of ceremonies, called the meet
ing to order and stated that the object
or the gathering was to do honor to the
memory of Florida's greatest son;
man who had arisen from humble cir
cumstances to nation wide fame as one
of the greatest constructive statesmen
of modern times.
On the speakers stage with the pre-
siding officer were Rev. Harry W. Nc
Combs. A. d. Penney, Fred Fee and
Rev. j. S. Chapman, who were intro
duced in the order named, and each
eulogized the life and services of the
late ex-governor in the highest possible
terms. Each speaker viewed the sub
ject of the service from different
viewpoint, and the many kind, tender
and highly complimentary sentiments
expressed were we'll received by the
audience, and it is regretted that time
and space forbids reproduction of
them here.
Interspersed throughout the evening,

The meeting was closed with prayer

tinue his labors for the betterment of
mankind.
