SUNDAY MORNING TALK
THE FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE.

Aeceptability with the people Is a
distinct asset for an aspirant to po-
litical Office today. This may have al
noticeable now. He who is believed to
be on the side of the rank and file,
who will champion their rights against
privilege and against entrenched mo-
nopolies, who will plead the people,
cause in high places and illustrate in
his own behavior the spirit OF democ-
racy Us the hero of the hour. People
will put up with a good deal in such
a person which they would not other
wise endure. They will overlook his
Inconsistencies and even a little touch
of vanity. I should advise any young
man ambitious for political prefer
ment to stand in with the people In
the long run he will get on faster than
If he simply relies on the machine. For

And that may we'll be anyone's anabi-
ton, for we all need a great fund of
friendliness to draw upon as we min
gle with our fellow country1nan. n
deed most of us are just everyday
people and everyday people must rely
on one another and not on some outside
good fairy if they are to move forward
and attain any satisfactory measure Of
financial prosperity or intellectual and
moral good. To have the good win of
those who live in the next block or
apartment those by whose side you
labor day by day. those who come and
go in the cars with you, or whom you
meet at games ir in the social circles
that is a great boon for any man if it
does not lead to anything in the way of
office or nenown. But to have DIT. one
must be willing to sacrifice sometimes
his ease and comfort and even his own
advantage. In all our cities and towns
are these quiet, gentle self effacing
men and women whom everyday peo-
pie love and who viii be blessed by
them with their latest breath for little
everyday acts of kindness.
The best friend the people ever had
was Jesus of Nazareth. They thought
so themselves for q time, but then he
puzzled them, and led on by their
rulers they turned against him only in
due time to repent of their share in
the shedding of innocent blood. Not
thus would he be treated today But
today. as nineteen hundred years ago.
we cannot have this invaluable friend
ship unless We are willing also to heed
his searching words, his solemn warn
ings his clear-c cut command to seek
first the Kingdom Of God

that they We're driven to drink are
merely victims of base imaginings?
They did not have to be driven to drink
for they We're so thirsty that they
walked right uD to the. bar and ordered
their own drinks in excess instead of
in moderation A guilty man always
has to find an excuse for his mis-
deeds. even If he has to lie to frame
up one. Ordinarily it might be safely
assumed that a man must be driven
to the worst things of life since he
can have the best by earnestly seek
ing for them but it is not so. Men
do things from spite they would be
ashamed to do from deliberations and
they do things to annoy others which

SO lost in their desire ito get even
that they trick themselves out Of the
very best life holds for them. The
man who says he is driven to drink
is suffering from a weak minded de-
luslon-a man cannot be driven TO his
own destruction unless he wants to be.

A WOMAN'S CAREER

be proud of. Taller than most of her
age, we'll formed and always we'll
dressed, she attracted attention Wher-
ever she went. Enthusiastic in what
ever she undertook be it society func-
ton or sociology, she easily became -
leader in many an enterprise. So, no
wonder that the conference of that
morning recognized her merit and made
her chairman of one of their most inn
portant committees. an appointment
willingly accepted by her, though she
knew it meant much of that "slu1n
work which her mother SO much dep
recated.
Not many days elapsed before Eliza
beth began her duties in search of
facts to be reported at the next meet
ing of the Amalgamated Association.
These inquiries led her one day into
an unfamiliar section of the city. A
misstep on a broken stairway caused
her to plunge into the street, and into
the arms of a young man passing at
the time.
She regained her footing with q
stammered word of apology only to
find herself unable to walk. Evidently
she had sprained her ankle What to
do was the question. The small crowd
which quickly gathered was profuse in
sympathy and the young man halting,
offered his further assistance, saying
he was q. surgeon.
A carriage was procured, and, ac-
cornpanied by the young surgeon, Eliz-
a1betf reached home Here the needed
care was given, and her newly found
medical adviser offered to summon
their family physician, but both 5liz-
abeth and her mother invited the young
stranger to continue his attendance,
something he was not at all loath to
do.
Mrs. Vanderwater found she knew
DR. Rittennouse's family we'll "Cna

explained to her husband on his re-
turn home. HE is wealthy, too and

In these days when we hear of the
departure of SO many of our girls for
college, the question is often sasked,
What career is she to prepare for?,
1t seems to be taken for granted that
a college training is only a preparation
for something else than the home life
which all girls should prefer Many
people fall into the notion that higher
education units a woman for domestic
life, but surely anything that develops
higher standard of cultivated woman
hood should increase ones ability to
make happy home. Others seem to
think time spent in college life is
wasted unless it results in financial
gain. This last standpoint comes from
the American sense of money making
as the chief end of all things. Why
should not woman take q collegiate
course without trying to make money
from it? Many a man studies law or
medicine who never practises either.
Let the women have an equal chance
Elizabeth Vanderwater, | remember,
was one of those who took a. college
course with q view of fitting for life $
duties as they should present thern-
selves and fancied she was called up
on to undertake great things for the
good of others One morning at the
breakfast table, her father, Judge Van
derwater inquired of her as to her
programme for the day. Il must at
tend the meeting of a society in which

ply.

smile. IT think I have heard you pro-

She always dreaded that quizzical
smile of her fathers, and her cheeks

Yes responded Elizabeth, @fhe

ton to this mornings meeting
"You surely don't mean, Elizabeth T"
interruted her mother that you meet
working women at your conference.
Why, you might as well be at work
in the slu1f1s. VINO knows what you
may encounter? I hoped when yoIa
finished your college course, you would
be content to remain at home and take
YOUR proper place in society. But i

EBut mother dear, you would not
have me unn1fndful of the claim of
my less favored sisters. IF can help
them to a higher plane of living, it is
certainly career worth following.
But I shall be late il I delay any long

prepare for her walk. leaving her
mother to lament her daughters zeal,

Many a man who prays: Lead us
not into temptation" never gets near
enough to temptation to really know
what it is. These little temptations
that a fellow sits down with alone are
SO easily put aside that temptation
seems like a weakling when really it
is magnetic When temptation meets
you in good form there is always an
inducement-an inducement that calls
loud-that draws-that almost over
comes. In its presence it is much
easier to say yes than to say no. 1t
has been said for Il fact. and it is true,
that many q mans reputation for
honesty is due to his having put aside
temptation that didn't tempt" There
is altogether too much value put upon
the resistance Of this kind of tempta-
ton. There is no Mandy pambyism
about the resistance of the kind of
temptation against which man prayss
for temptation is a preyer and often
conscious Of it's power.

The hardy chrysanthemum in

The hardy chrysanthemun in late
october and the hardy crocuses in
March have wonderful way of de
Tying the frost-they stay and shine
when all is sere and brown. They did
not get their staying powers in man
made gardens but in the gardens of God
somewhere whore they were menaced
with weather that meant death to most
other plants and it was there they
were b. divine decree made last Like
the Esquimaux, they find life worth
living where others make of it a dis
NAL failure. 1t is this FROST defying
quality which makes them popular in
the garden: they extend the floral sea-
son from snow to snow. 1t is not
unusual to see the chrysanthemu1n like
the Christmas rose rearing it's bronze
or crimson head above the snow in
splendid contrast. We cannot think
OF them as DYING and when their bright
faces disappear We just think Of them
as having gone 70 sleep.

But Il is not so easy matter as

But it is not so easy matter as
might at first appear to be real
friend to the people. From time to
time sand-lot orators and other types
of demagogues have assumed to be
champions of the rank and file, MAX
ing large professions of good will, but
in due time they are always found out.
So if your motive is simply to climb
on the brawny shoulders of the popu
lace to a position of eminence you are
likely to miss the summit on which
you are setting your eyes, or if you
ever reach it, to remain there only
short while.
For what is it to be a friend of the
people? Is It always to chime in with
their sentiments, to toady to them, to
nurse within them the sense of being
ill-treated. to harp upon the opportuni-
ties and pleasures denied them? Or
does real friendship consist in being
willing, if necessary, to go counter to
their wishes, to speak plainly concern
ing their errors and illusions, to chide
them for their wrong doing, at the
same time melting them to be and do
their best The common people of
England have no better friend today
than John Burns. who, though he is
now cabinet minister, still seeks to
secure legislation in behalf of all the
people, and to help them along the up
ward path. And yet, more than once
in his dramatic career, Burns has had
to differ from the trend of sentiment
in his own class, to stand with what
was at that time q minority and TO
speak boldly words that his audiences
were not at first ready to hear.
When Edward Everett Hale framed
as one of the three rules of action
which should govern the daily conduct
of young people this maxim: Touch
elbows with the rank AMI file" he had
in mind that noble conception of de-
mocracy and conradeship which he
himself always illustrated He was not
thinking of mere physical contact,
but of the patient endeavor TO under
stand how everyday people look at
things. what their joys and woes are,
what their hopes and problems and
tasks are.

II makes all the difference in the
world whether one thinks most of
WEAKNESS or rest. Rest is the natural
palliative for WEAKNESS, and it is d
true relief unless we get WEAKNESS on
the mind, when it belongs wholly to
the flesh One writer's favorite defini-
ton of pessimism and optimism was
this: The pessimist says after a. hard
days work: 20, how tired I ami" The
optimist says: 20, how good the bed
feels!" Ones frame of mind marks
the difference. This sounds like nom
sense to pessimist, but not to the one
who knows. Do not keep conscious of
misery. but just let hope usurp its
pace. Cultivate the mind so that it
recognizes a spirit of good cheer ten
times where it sits down and takes
eountenance of WEAKNESS once. 1t is
good habit to see the bright side of
thfngs-to illumine the dark places
with hope. Get your mind On the right
side of things and you cannot get on
the wrong side of them.
