came back from college a well poised
woman.
1 have read somewhere that the rea-
son a man sometimes surprises himself
by doing unusually brilliant work when
he is half sick, is that he is making a
tremendous effort and calling out all OF
his powers. The article states that IN
der ordinary conditions, we only use
about one-quarter of our powers, we
surprise ourselves by what we can do.
Doubtless, other obstacles besides ILL
ness produce the same results.
All that ought to be done can be done
and in the doing the ability will be
created.
Just as exercise and the lifting of
heavy weights develop muscle, SO re-
sponsibility develops ability.
1t seems to me Phillips Brooks must
have been feeling the power of Vim

"Oh, do not pray for easy lives. Pray
to be stronger men. Do not pray for
tasks equal to your powers. Pray for
powers equal to your tasks. Then the

But you shall be miracle. Every day
you shall wonder at yourself, at the
richness of life which has come to You

Mrs. w. A. Johnston has been ask
ed to attend the International Suffrage
convention which meets this year in
Stockholmn Sweden. Mrs. Johnston
has been active for many years in suf-
frage work, taking it up at time
when the movement was unpopular
among men and women alike, and her
courage in working for the principle
she believed in, has brought her into
notice throughout the country as one
of the pioneer suffrage workers. She
has not accepted the call to attend the
convention. and it is likely she VIII
not go. but the invitation is at least
recognition of what she has done for
the cause.
