HIGHBRows DEFENDED.

Men should not, as rule, be measured or
esteemed or respected by the height, depth or
width Of their brows. There are other and
better Standards but it is about time we were
recovering from the notion that because man s
brow OF ideals or morals are high he is neces-
sarlly Enthusiastically leader or unreliable
as citizen. Some men cannot help being
highbrows Let us all be charitable and pull
together. Then the shortcomings Of one style
or brow will be compensated for by the sur
plus efficiences of another. 1t is high time
for word in defense of an estimabe civic
factor who has been too often and recklesslv
misrepresented and maligned.

m INDUSTRIAL education is great
81 thing-if 1t makes the workingman
more Of man and less of a ma
chine. Industrial efficiency is to be en-
couraged-provided that it doesn't rob
men of their personality. There's limit
to what should be expected df a man in
the matter Of production. a man Is
greater than machine. When q ma
chine Is worn out You can throw 1t upon
the scrap heap. There is no scrap heap
for the human soul-it lives forever. But
the nature Of its eternal life is largely
dependent upon its ability to grow and
develop In the human BODY. The work

lives on even after he has taken off the
overalis for the last time. 1t is i'm
portant that his. soul-life should not be
crushed out through the fierce struggle
to keep body and soul together
He needs more leisure, and he needs
to learn how rightly to employ his leisure.

do his best for God and the city. When
the enemies who saw the wall rapidly
rising saw the possibilities Of future
raids was waning. they conspired against
their common enemy. The personal in

against the Jews.

Nehemiah's courage was tested when
conscious of his personal peril he dared
to suggest that he be sent by the king
implied to .Artaxerxes that the approval
the king had given the enemies OF the
Jews was not right. This amounted
pretty much to treason, especially when
sent on a mission. Nehemiah, realized
,tiiat many, a 4one had. paid the price OF
such request with his life, sought
strength by prayer before he made it.
God, who moves in q mysterious way

kings heart. and Nehemiah was commits
stoned to rebuild the city. He never
dreamed that he was preparing the set

knows the effect that, flows from their
actions. Frequently the most important
issues hinge on insignificant events. The
appearance OF sorrow due to his persis-
tent prayers brought royal commits
sion. 1t was not the edict of the king
that gave power to the patriot Of God!
Trusting absolutely in the power Of
Jehovah, Nehemiah took nevertheless
every, precautionary measure for his own
protection. He accepted the official guard
that Ezra was unwilling to ask OF the
king. Three days after his arrival at
Jerusalem he commenced a survey of the

meet him, he is strong. aggressive. faith
full to his belief. self-forgetful. intense.
when we hear Of him he is holding the
garments Of those whose Jealous fury Is
stonine the life from the sanity Stephen.
To hin, It seems good thing to rid the
earth of a troublesome sect. He believed
himself thoroughly right Not only that.
but he carries his belief into action and
proceeds to prosecute all others like Ste
nhen. We can easily believe that Paul
was as intense and thorough in his per-
secutions Of the Christians before his con-
version as he was In his preaching. and
his self-denials afterward:
II took an unusual vision to shake the
beliefs of SO unusual man. The ngnt

mascus and gave him new viewpoint OF
life took away none of his zeal He was
as ready to own himself In the wrong

at once set % work to turn his energies
TO account for the new Master. to whose
ALLEGIANCE he was to remain true all his
life.

among Romans even II it were not told.
for his figures Of speech all carry us to
the arena. The race, the strife. the con-
test are ever a part of his whole thought,

earlier followers, seems to have learned
how to get the fun out or religion.

dropped out Of the race altogether: Paul
