Man appears to be ever ready to do
mean act, and slow to do a noble
one. Some people lose sleep planning
to get even with an enemy, when they
might forget him and wake up to find
him their friend. A revengeful spirit
is one of the worst enemies that can
be harbored. and it makes more trou-
bic for its host than it can for anyone
else. Some people who profess to be
plous-to be living in Love and having
Love live in them-hate others and
seek to DO them injury. The most ig-
noble spirit in life is that which Is
always striking back. Getting even
Is sin-not d virtue There is
greatness in forbearance, there is pow
er in forgiveness. This is the way up
the other the way down. The spirit
Of love will not save one who delights
in resentment. Satan takes an inter-
est in him,

OF saints in general we cherish the
impression that they are scarcely hu-
man. For one thing they lived in a
time long since past. About their heads
the mists of antiquity have gathered
in a. halo that moderns cannot becom-
ingly wear. They appear as ethereal,
bloodless creatures rather than as real
people with the sap Of nature run
ming in their veins. The stained glass
window saint which is the kind we
are chiefly familiar with: is being
out Of another sphere than our own
Most of us wouldn't really care to be
saints of that sort even if we were
able to fulfill the conditions.
1t is probably nearer the truth to
believe that the saints We're men and
women of like passions with ourselves.
They had their own battles to fight
and their own temptations TO overcome.
They got hungry and tired and, it
may be, on occasions they lost their
tempers. Beneath the mass Of legends
which seem to separate them from
human fellowship We come upon quail
ties, desires, experiences which seal
their kinship with the rest of US.
They were simply resolute souls who
overcame their evil propensities, cruel
fed laziness, and worked nightly for
the kingdom of God.
1t ia good FOR us to dwell in the
company Of these great ones. We of
the present age are SO nightly afraid
of being considered sanity Call a
man sharp, strenuous, selfish-what
you will--but don't, If you value his
friendship call him pieus. Any undue
amount of virtue appears even ignom-
inieus and Kipling's longing for the
place where there AIT no Ten Com
mandments" is reckoned smart SEN
timent by hosts of people who aren't
really as bad as they would have us
believe.

Mr.. Editor; All the letters regarding
The Atlantic's Bell interest me, as in
an old scrapbook have preserved an
interesting account Of the wreck Of the
ship and all the pathetic incidents con-
nected with it, and many notes and
explanations, printed on large sheet,
together with a poem by Miss F. M
Calkins of New London. The whole, if
reprinted in The Bulletin, would be in
teTesting reading for the rising genera

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
Saints of Yesterday and Today.

One tradition alone remains in the
popular mind regarding st. Fat
rick and the least important Of any
connected with that good man. 1t is
surely a pity that his reputed encount-
er with the snakes of the Emerald Isle
should dispossess in. our thought the
story of his splendid service to
Christianity in those early years. The
noble lad who was stolen by pirates
from his fathers country place, car
ried to. Ireland, sold among strangers,
to become at length a great teacher
and friend to his adopted people, de-
serves a day of his own in the calen-
dar. Surely all lovers Of Righteousness
can salute the memory Of brave st.
Patrick.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

1t makes the average man smile 10
tell him that things invisible are
greater than visible, things 1t is
mind that creates the habitations of
men and governments and wealth and
power Manhood is one of the great
est visi.le things, yet the spirit under
lying 1t Is greater All that produces
the most powerful combinations of
earth and piles UP untold millions, and
creates beauty and makes nfe an
achievement dwells in the bosoms Of
men. What we see and enjoy is
thought demonstrated The weak
minded nation cannot stand before
the strong minded nation, never mind
how superior its equipment. Wealth
is the direct fruit of mans ability to
do Things, just as literature is the
product f mans ability to say things.
Money, stocks and bonds are not
greater than man for they aye man
made, while man is Godmade. The
mind Of man is the treasure house
and the defense of all the nations. IT
is there the treasure is kept which
neither moths nor rust doth corrupt,
nor thieves break through and steal"
A near philosopher holds that man
was made to be happy; that happiness
is only attainahle through useful eff
fort; that the best way to help our
selves is to help others; and often the
best way to help others is to mind our
own business" This last simply means
that meddlesomeness ia a hindrance
rather than q help-that butting in is
too much OF an impertlnence to be ap-
preciated, or to be helpful to others.
How few there are who realize this
talk; and how many there are whose
duty leads them to do the wrong thing
Some people think it is always neces-
sary to correct any misstatement of
facts, and they never realize what a
perilous habit it is until they have
met tiger 1t is fine habit to be
able to keep ourselves to ourselves.
The other fellow does not appreciate
it, if we do know better. He does not
like the contrast of superior knowl-
edge whit better than you or l do;
and you know how that is. II we
leave men to their errors they are
not robbed of their enjoyment, II
we would enlighten them we must
have a care how we proceed to do 1t,
"No thinking here" may be good
motto fer a sleeping room. Some ,peo-
pie will take the bed for thoughts
Of all kinds of worriments and to
them mo thinking" is an impossi-
bility. Very few people are masters
OF the mind. Bedtime is no time for
embarrassing and exciting thoughts.
It is a had habit to think of anything
In bed which interferes with rest
Some people get so sleepy they cannot
keep their eyes open; and some just
fall asleep; and still others have a
difficult time getting to sleep and then
they rouse UP in the night and their
mind tells them there is no more sleep
for them. That is the point to think
! will sleep; and to count a hundred
twenty times over, or to resort to any
method to get the rest which Is ones
due. This Is going to sleep by reso-
luton; and a~great many people do
it. 1 have a habit of thinking only Of
pleasing things at night; and tumbiing
into the arms of Morpheus before l
know it, That motto would not do
for me: yet regard 1t as a fine
motto for those who have the power
to bar thought

THOUSANDSKILLED
BY EARTHQUAKE

Constantinople, Aug. 10.-The de-
tails of the earthquake which are COM
ing in slowly owing to the Interrupt
ton of the wires, indicate that the
seismic disturbances was widespread.
Several hundred persons have been
killed, thousands are homeless and
outbreaks of fire have occurred in
many towns and villages. Great de-
struction has been caused by the up
heaval.
The entire district between Con-
stantinople and Adrianople felt the
shock severely. Fugitives from My.
riophito report 800 killed and 800 in
jured. The town was still burning
when they left. Ganos-Hora has been
wiped out, eighty persons being killed
and thirty wounded. The wrecked
buildings took are and most Of them
were burned. Shar-Koi was destroyed
and two nearby villages were engulf-
ed. Adrianople suffered little damage
but Tchorlu was destroyed by the
earthquake and fire.
The course of the disturbance ap.
pears to have been in the region OF
the Dardanelles. Eye witnesses from
that section gives narrowing accounts
of the havoc wrought. The majority
of the houses in the Gallipoli are in
ruins and the people are camping In
the fields. Tchanak-Kaless Is in ar
equally bad plight. but the loss OF life
in these towns is small, although the
injured are many.
Warships anchored in the Dardan
Giles felt the shock severely. 1t was
at first attributed to a torpedo boat
The captain of the American steamer
Virginia reports that the lighthouse
at Ganos-Hora in the sea of Marmora
has disappeared and that the villages
in the surrounding country are IN
flames, He was unable to anchor
and render assistance owing TO the
violent movements of the sea.
