THE MAN WHO TALKS

'
 When Mrs Browning said to Charles
 lifeS Ten me, that may make mine
 beautiful, too.' He replied: T had a friend Were these three words ever more beautifully used than this in the English language? Mrs. Browning
 did not have to ask him who this l for she recognized that such a friend 1 must live in her heart and minister to
 her life every day that it might be | kept so sweet that it attracted atten- ton as the life worth living. re-
 cognize this friend. and so perhaps do you, as the friend of all who open | their hearts to Him and invite Him 1 in: and why. think you, is not the beautiful life more common? great l many precious things are missed be- | cause the human heart is closed to 1 them.
 Tho progressive people in this world are looking for shares-for divi- dend- paying sllares-and many of them are to be had without money and this ag.s are sharing their thoughts with all who read in all fields of lit- erature and research and discovery. Sharing greatness is no mean Occupa
 tfon; and that is what all do who read
 for purpose. The greatness of the
 past and the present is ours to share
 just for the application, for books are free and readily obtainable. Sharing such knowledge is what makes men happier and greater and noreS useful. These shares are not the kind one can lock up in the safe or procure a mort gage upon; but they assuredly pay the largest profits in the breadth and power they add to those who possess them.
 gets out among folks talks about "our home and "our folks and tour things" There is unity in that little word "our,'' and it tells more than most people think. A manufactures who employs many boys says he finds those most useful who the second week of employment talk about our shop, and by the third week commence to talk about our prospects,, just as If they were stockholders and understood something of the inside chances. It may be only an assumption, but it shows a spirit of unity of interest. Why, too many homes are ruptured be- cause me and mine got installed there and could not be driven out. Those who think most see most, and those who cultivate dullnees see hard sled- ding.
 wns nosra 9a'd of tsssry sSx. tSst psopss eoad ena have devoted themselves to the study of determining the twen- ty-five most beautiful words in the English language and left out the word Mother, which is the dearest word to every human heart and whose love for her children is typical of Divine love? "Oh, the love of mother, wrote Victor Hugo; love which none can forget" And think number of devout Christians give to the Mother of our Lord. It does not seem to us as if the twenty five most beautiful words in the English lan- guage had been truly assembled with Mother left out.
 Those wrho have learned to keep their troubles to themselves and those who have learned to laugh, are pretty well equipped for life. It has been trathfuiiy said that good laugh is better than medicine; and that a hsad-inck story is not one to Dc told. is proven by the few people who have patience to listen to one It is our aches and pains and OUT grimaces which soon make uuis ances of us; and our patience and per- way pleasant and profitable. Some people think they can only be what God made them. failing to recognize that God made the mind. and mind dutled is responsible for the fool. To be conscious that mind is the cooper ative plane on which God and man work together for good is to generate power.
 When we consider the fact that science says man has been eighteen million years upon the earth, we are not impressed with his wonderful pro- gress. It must have been several mill lion years before he discovered that it was possible to Keep smoke out of tho home by the use Of a chimney; and the first chimney must have been as much of wonder as the areoplane is now. In view of this, and the knowI- edge that the use of steam and of electricity and of vibration to express all kinds Of sounds and music by talk ing machines has been accomplished in the life of men now living, 1t is not So herd to recognize that this is the most wonderful age man has ever known, with the star gazing and star naming age as a worthy competitor. !
 How natural it sssms to be for the big man to get little wife, and for big woman to get a little husband; who is boss by the heig11th breadth or weight of them. You have seen a wasp make a half dozen human beings run--four grains of spunk and a sting against six hundred pounds of flesh and blood. Well, that is the way 1t goes in life. That which can create the greatest amount of fear regardless of size can start the biggest panic. This is good thing to remember. since fear will upset & house just az sure as it will move legs and generate speed; and it will mako a big man quake. once knew ss little woman who was called The Hornet" and she could make the whole family crawl. Small but Mighty" ie not a vain combination of words.
 We all have our feelings, and if we all controlled our feelings instead of letting them control us things would be different. The mind should con- trol the feelings, not the feelings the mind: and those who live with the cart before the horse think life is a push instead of a pull. Fer instance, 1t is enough to know that you are poor; it is too much for you to feel that you are poor, for that is depress- ing Isn't it possible for you to real ize that your heavenly Father owns all things and that you are his child and heir, and that no inheritance is greater than yours Flesh and blood can be burdened, but learn to keep the mind above it. It is depression grap- bling expression which makes men ry~v mt f1,af fbrxy Hr,nr,r yv,icora 1.l.
