his mind, for it happened again and
again in that round and repeatedly IN

The champion opened up only once,
early in the fight when Flynn landed
his only good blows, right and left
hooks. to the jaw, delivered during a
clinch. Johnson appeared nettfed at
his own carelessness and smashed
right uppercut through Flynn's guard

for the cuts and bruises on his lace.

There was not cheer during the

referees action with apparent .elIef.

SHINE JUST WHERE YOU ARE.
Don't waste your time in longing
For bright, impossible things;
Don't sit supinely yearning
For the swtftneSs of angel wings;
Don't Spurn to be rushhght,
Because you are not star;
But brighten some bit of darkness
By shining just where you are.
There is need of the tiniest candle
AS well the garish sun;
The hurnblest deed is ennobled
When it is worthily done;
You may never be called to brighten
The darkened regions afar;
So fill, for the day, your mission
By shining just where you are.
Just where you are, my brother,
Just where God bids you stand,
Though down in the deepest shadow,
Instead of the sunlit land
You may carry a brightness with you
That no gloom of darkness can mar,
For the light of a Christlike spirit
viii be shining wherever you are.

COMPOUNDED with real conviction. A
yes or NO" loses nothing by be-
ing spoken quietly. The blusterer does
not evoke belief. Real assurance, which
is based on experience and intelligent
confidence, does not blow any trumpets
before It
Times decisions make ete1nity's char
acter.
If upon our tornbstones could be ir-
scribed He never said No to duty,
the passersby may be expected to re
mark, THAT man was success.
Character is the result of the ac-
emulation of life's decisions AS
Henry Ward Beecher said. 1T is not
What a man gets. but what man is
that he should think of. He should
think first of his character and then or
his condition. He that has character
need have no fear Of his condition.
Character will draw condition after it. "
Personality is the plea of our times.
Strong-souled leaders, the Yes or

God give US men! The time demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith

Men whom the lust of office does not

Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will

Men who can stand before a demagogue

Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above

Every day isAa judgment day, when
by our own decisions we foredoom to
gloom or gladness, shame or glory, our
own spirits. It is a yes or NO from
out of the heart Of a man that de-
ternines his own spirits veal or woe.
This truth comes to us more and
mora the longer we live, that on what
field or in what uniform or with what
aims we do our duty matters very little,
or even what our duty is, great or
small, splendid or obscure. Only to
find our duty certainly somewhere, or
somehow. to do it faithfully makes us
good, strong. happy and useful men, and
tunes our lives into some feeble echo
of the life of God.-Phillips Brooks.

This is rather an absurd topic
which has been assigned this week by
the trainers of the uniform topics; for
it is so vague and general that il COM
prehends all of life. The selected Scrip
ture throws no light upon the topic
Probably the underlying idea is that of
decision of character; for Yes and
No are the words of decision.
An old word of wisdom says that
THE double minded man is unstable
in all his ways" The person who has
not learned tc say either yes or no
to the invitations of evil or of good is
miserable company for himself, and
no pleasure or profit to anybody else
Decide and then be decided
Force is the first element of success.
All sorts of qualities. and combinations

are the leaders Rational se1f-asSur-
