 United States Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan got his start in life in the popcorn business.
 Behind the popcorn business, however and behind Smith was a wise mother
 The Smith family back in the ffties was very poor, and William was obliged to quit school and help to make the living.
 But note this:
 His mother made him believe, even when he was small boy, that despite poverty he would be successful man.
 That faith put into the boys mind by his mothers suggestion stayed there and taught him the great art of believing in himself.

O, you book borrowers, if you only knew half the inconvenience you occasion, you'd try to think of the borrowed book and return it. But to go back. Macauly's style is unique and strangely fascinating. One of the finest bits of literature that I know is his 1es- say on history. It is not as long as some others, but 1t is unsurpassed. Still, Macaulay wrote without heart.

Morrison promptly returned and cancelled both, with curt note that he was not a barnaele on his government that he had served in peace and in war, and that as good citizen he could make his own living and intended to do so, that not one cent should come to him from the pension fund, and he thus utter ly repudiated the action of that depart ment. Oh, if every Union soldier had been endowed with the animus of this man, the big war would have been closed two.ye earlier, and if every Union sol- dier had been gifted with his invincible pride, inveterate honesty and splendid patriotism, the pension roll the last dou- ble decade would have been less than S20 ,000 year. whereas it has been more than $160,00 GOO annually.

Perhaps we shall some day find that there are no more miles of separation between Christian and Jew than there were be- tween an Episcopalian and Baptist.

There Is a vol ume of Agostino de Montefeltro's pow erful Italian sermons, touching elbows with the Tattler and the Guardian, printed in one large volume and first published in 1910. The World and the Man stand next to Herbert Spencer's synthetic Philosophy. Fielding rests against Ellicotts Commentary on the New Testament, while Eventful Nights in Bible History is next to Lorna Doon Quite as heterogenously placed are all the others. I have never had time to classify them.
 I have reached a point in life where l find it profitable to part with some of my books, although I add others to my stock. I rarely let young clergyman depart from my study without giving him several books to add to his library. The salaries of young clergymen are very small, as rule, and books are hard to get. remember how I prized such gifts In my early ministry. Therefore many books that belonged to me may Be found in many private libraries. Not that l cease to love old books, but that love young men more. Then, too, young men in the ministry have a distinct convic- ton that they should preach on theology, settle doctrinal disputes and put at rest forever the great questions that the world has ever been asking. For the most part I have outgrown all this. The subjects that most interest me are not strictly theological. I care less for the ology than I do for Christology. Debate has no charm for me. and discussions of theological subjects would not attract me across the street. But if others think otherwise, as most young ministers do, then they can have my books, which were of value to me when thought as they do that they

 gentleman asked me a little while back, ''Do you know 'Gil Blas'?" "Why, my friend" answered I, 'it is one of the books that I keep closest to hand, and have read it many times. Know .Gil Blas;' I should think so." He then proceeded to give an illustration from it's pages. I think "Gil Blas'' must have been in every library In the homes of the south before the war between the states. I came upon it as boy and wondered what 1t was about. Later I read 1t, then re- read 1t, then read 1t some more, and through the years have I referred to it for illustrations. It has long been within arms length of me when at my desk. My copy is Smollett's translation, and Is in three volumes. I gave one edi- ton away to clergyman about three years ago, It's illustrations were in col ors.

It will awaken class of emotions that have been dormant and bring into play those parts of the nerv- ous system that need relaxation from the most serious things of life. Can't sleep Sunday nights?

for it's literature and its marvellous sim plicity of English. All men who have become eminent in English letters were or are readers of the Bible. Rousseau said: "Persue the books of philosophy with all their pomp of diction, how meagre, how contemptible they are when compared with the scriptures When poor Shelley's battered body was washed up from the sea, there was found New Testament in his pocket The dramas of Shakespeare abound with quotations from the Bible. Tennyson makes 300 quotations from its pages, and Lord Macaulay points many a passage with biblical language. Every man should read the Bible, whether he is believer or not. I read 1t for something more than it's literature, however.
 Next I personally value the book of Common Prayer of the Church of Eng land. It breaths a spirit of lofty devout- ness, and at the same time 1t is beau- tiful illustration of Elizabethan English. As an English composition 1t is su- perb.
 Then, among my books there are erv- eral editions of Shakespeare which read and study. I do not remember the time when Halliwell's edition of the great dramas was not on the center table in my childhood home. There were four quarto volumes, consisting respectively of the tragedies, the comedies, the his- torical plays, and the doubtful plays.
