THE IDEAL LIFE.

Editor Social Corner:-The life of
the busy workingman il the ideal life,
presenting the greatest number of OPP
portunities for developing the highest
character, religiously speaking
With God there IL no respect of per-
sons. The word of God assigns po-
sition to the workingman. 1t is an
honorable position. We are the s0Ds
Of God. God is worker and the
standard man must be q worker. Char
acter is developed in a life of labor.
Gods type of life was a workingman,
a carpenter. Jesus Christ and his
apostles were all working men. There
are enemies of the working man but
capital is not an enemy The crank
il real enemy, the man who goes
about trying to persuade men thot
black fs white, that night is day, that
yes is no.
1 should always n1fstrust the man
who works with nothing but his
mouth. Other enemies of the work
ingman are intemperance, gambling
and lust. They take away his money.
They take away his manhood, and rob
him of his self-respect.
Nature has no use for an idle man.
Surroundings do not make a man; it
Is the possession of creative energy.
The man that can produce something
can always live; nature says to him:
There Is place for you; you are one
of the sons of God you cam live and
not die. We can work on the princi-
pies laid down in the word of God and
solve many a problem.

some people to be kind and cheerful.

If we do not give kind words, we can

It is equally possible for US AL to be

FRIENDSHIP BETTER THAN GOLD

Editor Social Corner: A true friend
is far more valuable than silver or
gold. Friendship" is one Of the
grandest of words.
We once knew doctor who had
good practice and fine home and
thought he had host of friends whom
he often entertained at much expense,
for it was a great pleasure to him.
He thought they were true friends, but
by misfortune he lost his home and
all he had in this world EXCEPT his
faithful wife and his good practice as
a physician. He began to look around
for mis- friends. 1ney hao vanished
and In less than one year the friends
he counted as his best did not rec
ognize him when they met him on
the street.
When a man is drifting down the
river of misfortune and sees no chance
of escape is the time a true friend is
needed-a friend from the heart to
reach out his hand OF friendship and
responsible for q noble life which

MEND YOUR SCALES.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner
How kind 1t was of the editor to let
the CornererS award the prizes from
month to month, but for my own part
/ prefer to let it remain with the ed
ftor. IS at present.
It would be no easy task to COM
pare the letters from week to week,
and among so many good ones choose
the best; and then some OF us natur-
ally lazy souls might forget to send
our votes on time. / fear a majority
vote might be difficult to obtain, for
ter.
For example: one likes recipes, an
other household suggestions, and still
another letters pertaining to charac-
building; and there would prob
ably be as much dissatisfaction at the
distribution Of prizes as at present.
OF course, we all want to win a
prize, but If we do not, our labor isn't
in vain, for we may write something
to help another; and this practice of
expressing our thoughts clearly on pa
per is most beneficial to US. for as we
leave our schoo1-day compositions be-
hind Wa grow rusty, and It becomes
more al more Of a burden to write q
letter.
IN the Corner recently there appear
ed a letter written from Who on
the Fourth Prize. Her letter was most
helpful, and think she has the right
spirit. If we help one another by
means Of our letters, surely we do not
write in vain Let us all keep this lit
tie story entitled. Mend Your Scales

POPULARITY.

Dear Editor and Sisters Of the Social
Corner; / am writing q little piece on
Popularity this week, hoping It may
find space in our popular paper.
Why il It Miss 30 and So Is so pop
ular? her friends all ask each other
time and time again, and the popu-
larity was such constantly growing
quantity that they set about to dis
cover the secret. And what do you
think they found? No secret at all.
She was just MS sweet and friendly to
the old folks a. she was to the people
also. Now her friends were not DIS
courteous or disagreeab1e to those who
had been touched by the whitening
hand of time; they Just simply ig-
nored them. There were 30 many par
ties, dances, theaters and happy conf
dences over cup Of chocolate In your
friends' cosy corner. and SO little time
for all the merry w11irl that they can't
find time to be even thoughtful Of their
elders.
But. my dear friends. God is good,
and we may some day be white haired
old folks, and we would not like to be
snnbbed by some OF the younger ones.
This IL the lesson.
Long before Miss Popularity gradu-
ated from short skirts she discovered
and she will tell you that some Of the
brightest, wittiest and even younger
spirited people are to be found among
the older folks. For SO many OF Our
younger folks are 50 cold and stiff that
you cannot blame some for calling
them sticks.
Many times friends according to
their means would gtvs big dinner or
theater party at which our popular
friend would be the guest Of honor. No
party would be success without her;
not that she wanted to lead them in
any way, but her smiling face and
friendly, CHEEKY word made. her a
happy companion for all. So, my dear
friends, we have nothing to lose when
we grasp the hands OF our elders with
