PLAYGROUND SEASON SUCCESS

The second season of the Play grounds association, which closes to- day, has been one of healthy progress in the plan of developing the move ment about the city. It has demon strated the need of such an institu- ton and the number of children at tracted thereto makes it evident that it fills a long felt want. With a weekly attendance at the six grounds of about 1,4O0, substantial proof is given of the value of the undertaking in keeping the children of the streets and providing them with not only grounds but apparatus for wholesome play under the direction of older peo- pie, whose Watchful eye can guide them as to proper conduct and the observance of the rights of the others.
 Unfortunately, there was one or two accidents on the grounds, but with such large attendance it is probably not so great as would likely have resulted had the children been playing about tha nAtghborhoOd. Accidents will happen under the best of precau- tiOns. but they all serve to increase the care and attention tAareafter
 Just how much good the grounds nave done would be hard to estimate, but it's effect cannot help but be Last ing. and it's influence for the best, a5 time alone can demonstrate. The as- sociation has begun an excellent work in which a most generous interest should be taken by every citizen. An other season will show still greater ad- vantages and improvements at the grounds. while the plan of arranging for skating places at safe locations is also in accord with the needs of the children and most commendable move. Norwich can be proud of the associations work and look for still greater benefits therefrom.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
WORK eLoRlFIED.

There was a time when the worlds workers were not thinking primarily of wages and hours. Work was essen tially worship; a mans job was his means of praising God. In those days artisans were wont to hang the implements of their craft on the walls of cathedrals. Laborers performed their tasks under the stimulus of re- hgious motives.
 The art school of a certain university contains some carved confessionals taken from an old monastery in Belgi- um. The dark, rich oak is carved into wonderful shapes of angel faces, run ming vines and clusters of fruit. The monks spent many months on the exquisite work and did it as so much worship to God. To toll with the chisel was accounted no less an act of devotion than to say prayers at the altar. The last thing they thought of was pay for their labor. The sole desire was to turn out a noble product.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-08-31

There was a splendid power in this
 old medieval motive that our modern
 world of industry lacks. The men of
 the middle ages who built the great
 cathedrals and copied Bibles in illumi-
 mated script for smaller wage than
 present day masOns or printers, but
 there are indications that they found
 more joy in their toll, for they worked
 consciously for the glory of God. Most
 of us would work with better heart if
 we could feel the touch of an idealism
 like this.
 Let no one assume for minute that
 such lofty impulses have wholly ceased
 to operate in our modern life. Only a
 crude cyniciSm will assert that naught
 but hope of gain animates the work
 CTS of our time. There are teachers and preachers and scientists and inventors
 and medical men and hosts of others with whom the wage they are paid
 forms but a secondary consideration. How many generations of doctors. to name but one class, have worked on some invention or discovery designed l to advance human welfare but which the etiquette of their profession for i bade them to patent or monopolize? l wish it were in my power to raise the pay of every honest workman in the land. But I sometimes think a boon equally great would be to raise the zest and interest each one feels in { his particular bit of labor. It is as 1 true now as centuries ago in Palestine ! that Man does not live by bread alone The pay envelope is not the sole criterion of success A job which | represents merely an eternal scramble l for dollars may become a very sordid i concern: but it changes character at ] once when we sense it as ones own i chance of contributing something of i value to that great human brother hood to which we all belong.

Political expectations: Roosevelt expects to carry all but four republi- can states and win; Wilson expects Debs and the Colonel will draw votes enough to defeat Taft and carry him to the White house on smaller vote than Bryan had; Debs expects dissat- isfied republicans will swell his vote to 409000; and Taft feels sure the people will re-elect him. If they are all sane they cannot afford to defeat Taft.

Did you ever have a real good mar

Did you ever have real good man sit down and tell you a tale of woe It is quite different from the regular tale of woe, for he always has in- volved in it his earnest prayers. He will tell you how things have gone wrong with some member ol the family who has fallen from grace and how he has prayed for his return to the paths of decorum. I remember one who told me of a dissolute brother in-law who had been a daily worriment to his sis ter and constant source of wOrri- ment to him, so that at last he had asked God to remove him from the face of the earth. This seemed to me to be a prayer of impiety rather than of piety and 1 yentured to ask him If he believed God answered prayer?" He replied: q dol" with an unction which surprised me. Then I ventured have you never thought how much greater comfort it would be to your sister and more relief to your self to ask God to save your brother in-law and make him good than it would be to ask God to kill him 9" He confessed he had never thought of | that

Did you ever think how prone we are to talk of ourselves when we are generaIizing about the other fellow? There is no mirror of life the eyes oI our mind can look into except our own, and this is the reason every person is said to create his own world, and there are declared to be as many worlds as there are people. When d person tells you everybody does it, perhaps you do not realize, and he rarely does, that he has confessed IL is a very true saying that out from the heart the mouth speaketh-tha- our hearts have way of betraying us. He is usually very good person who finds the world a very good world to live in. Those under the spell of love think everything is cOoing. If you haven't noticed this, open your ears and eyes and get them into the right relation to one another It is in the mass that the human mind sees itself and in it's generalizations the mind gives itself away. This is one way in which we are read and some people surprise us by the glimpses they give Us of our own character.

There are folks who just enjoy do- ing good turn for the other fellow, and they get lots of honey out of life that other people do not. They seem to realize that a benefit is a blessing which promotes goodness. They are a whole sunshine society of themselves. They do not count upon any ones do- ing them a favor; they never med itate along the lines which prompt them to say one good turn deserves an other, for they are not speculative or calculating. They do not have to ask What is there in it for me-" for their joy is intensified by the good turns they render their fellow men. It is @ commendable habit to be a lubricator, to have the capacity to make life run smooth. Some folks can make life creak like an old wagon-wheeI crying for grease, because they are always getting friction into IL, and they are the ones who complain that life isn't worth living If We want it worth liv- ing, it is up to us to make it so.
