bur-" asked Geraldine, that that
would have been your motive if you
had done what Steve did,"
Geraldine had, almost without
knowing it, discovered a great truth
that motives which We ascribe to
others are almost always those which
would have actuated ourselves IN the
same circumstances.
. There must always be a known
unit. The standard by which We
measure the character and conduct of
others, too often a poor little pocket
rule, is consciously or unconsciously
that of self. 1t is hard for most peo-
pie, perhaps for all, unless refused,
with the spirit of divine love, to be-
lieve in springs of action purer, loft
Ter, more unselfsh than our own
Let US, then, be careful how we
ascribe motives for the acts of others.
For, after all, it is largely ourselves
that we see in our companions. No
bility has a clear vision for nobility,
meanness is swift to discern mean

GIVES AWAY 100000
David ]. Ranken, Jr, of St. Louis,
Reserves Less Than $4,000.
Trade School For Boys Which Bears
His Name is the Recipient
of His Wealth.

st. Louis. Mo.-David J. Ranken,
Jr., one of st. Louis wealthiest citi-
zens and founder of the David j. Ran
ken, Jr., School of Mechanical Trades,
has decided his entire fortune, esti-
mated at more than 100000, to
the Board of Trustees of the Ranken
School, to be used in the mainten-
ance and enlargement of this institu-
ton, which promises to be n of the
largest schools of its kind in the
world.
The announcement of Mr.. Ran
ken's endowment, under which he re-
serves less than $4,000 a veal for his
support, was made public by the
Board of Trustees following the sign
ing of the last deed. The property
decided to the Board of Trustees con-
sists of the land now known as the
"Ranken tract" Mr.. Ranken's home,
stocks in the Illinois Central and Rock
Island railroads, and of the Missis-
sippi Valley Trust Company, Mercan-
tile Trust Company, Boatman's Bank
and9the Merchants Laclede National
Bank.
The entire property and its pro-
ceeds r to be applied wholly to the
Trades School at the discretion of a
Board of Trustees.
Mr.. Ranken, when he was asked
for a statement, said:
"I dislike very much to see my
name in the newspapers. Idon't want
it, please. I decline to say anything
about 1t. The matter is in the hands
of the Board of Trustees"
Mr.. Ranken lives in three small
rooms over a grocery store. Here he
has lived for years and planned his
fortune and worked out the scheme
and ambition of his life-the found
ing of the Ranken trades school for
poor boys, an institution where boys
over fifteen years old receive a trade
education for a nominal fee.
Mr.. Ranken visits his school every
day and watches the boys at work.
He has insisted that the whole scheme
of education be practical. He insists
that no time shall be spent in teach
ing theory in the lecture rooms, un-
less it has clear practical application
in the shop work.
Geometry is taught, but instead of
having the boys compute the volume
of a cone, they are taught the holding
capacity of a funnel of like dimen-
sions. Classroom work in all branches
of drawing, carpentry, bricklaying,
painting and steam engineering is
along similar lines.

Must KneeI to See Glory.

1t is said that there is a bust of our
Lord in a Roman Catholic chapel on
the Continent, before which a stool is
placed, that the beholder may Eneel
and iook. To the one who is standing
up the bust has no beauty. 1t is es-
sential to kneel in order to see the
glory and beauty of the Countenance.
So, as long as we stand in ~self-satis-
faction we see no beauty in Christ.
but the moment there is humbling Of
soul before God on account of sin,
then we behold a worth of excellencs

Afraid of My Will.

In the noon prayer meeting rot
long ago a good sister prayed, Lord.
we're afraid of u wills. We're
afraid to do our wills for fear of the
consequences. Teach us Thy will"
There was something striking about
that prayer. The majority of people.
including even some professed Chris
tians, are afraid of Gods will rather
than their own. But the real Chris
tan is afraid of his own, and like his
Master says, Not my will, but Thine,
be done."-Moody Church Herald.
