SUNDAY MORNING TALK
Hit From Where You Are.

MT. Robert Fitzsimmons, former champion of the prize ring, let fall a golden sentence when, in reminiscent mood, he remarked, My secret is to hit from where I am" One need not be an admirer of Mir. Fitzsimmons' art to approve his solid philosophy. In the exigencies of an exacttng profession he had found that ideal conditions do not always prevail. In fistic combat he could not fussily pick and choose. He must take conditions as he found them and do his best. And life is always trying to teach us the same lesson.
 More people fail in this world from infirmity of will than from any other cause They cherish great hopes and make large plans but lack the strength to make their purposes come true. Awaiting the more suitable occasion, they fail in the end to improve any oc- casion. Delaying till all the conditions are to their liking they let actual per formance go by default With them as with vacillating Hamlet.
 The native hue of resolution
 Is sicklied OCT with the pale cast of thought,
 And enterprises of great pith and mo- ment
 With this regard their currents turn aWry
 And lose the name of action. Deliberation is well in it's place and l careful planning is always desirable There is a time, however. when one should stop deliberating and simply dc l the thing. We may test the tempera-
 ture of the water, calculate it's depth

 Answer0Jesus' words, NO man can come to Me except the Father which sent Me draw him." have long per- pleKed Bible scholars and Christian people ip general. The thought usually is that the Lord is desirous that all mankind should be saved in this pres- ent Christian era. And if this be so, then why does the Father draw" so lew 10 Christ? Why does He not draw all men unto Him? The difficulty is that many have failed to note the Scripture teachings concerning the divine purpose. All Bible scholars recognize that the doctrine of "elec- ton" is taught in the Scriptures. And nearly all are aware that free grace' is likewise set forth. In attempting to apply both these Bible teachings to the present era confusion has resulted. God is now drawing to Christ such as He desires shall be members of His church, the Bride of Christ, In other words, God is calling" or inviting a feN-"the elect''-to be joint heirs with His Son in the glories of the kingdom. When this election is com pleted, then Gods free grace will be extended to all the world of mankind.

EVIDENCE OF BACKBONE.

When the case of Phelps, the mur- derer, was presented Thursday ill an informal way for consideration, it was discovered that seven of the nine councilmen of the governor of Massa- chusetts stood firm for letting the law take it's course.
 The Worcester Gazette in comment ing upon the action of the governor s council says:
 This action of the council, or rather it's refusal to take action, is in strong relief to the action of the governor, who has endeavored to nullify the law in large measure. and for no sounder apparent reason than that his per sonal opinion is against capital pun ishment.
 "The councils attitude in the Phelps case is a strong assurance that there will be no halting of justice in dealing with Richeson, in the event Governor Foss decides to listen to those who can contemplate with perfect equanimity a murder record of 10000 annually in this country, but who shiver and sen timentalize like sick girl when one murderer whose crime has every ear mark of abhorrent depravity is called upon to pay the penalty which the law provides for all men.
 'I4et us rejoice in a governors coun- cil which can give us this manifes- tation of sanity and backbone"

AS TO THE REQUIREMENT OF
 WEALTH.

The makers of money have quaint ideas as to the possi bilities of others making it The Hon. Frederick Wey- erhauser Of St. Paul is a multimillion- alre who thinks the matter of getting rich is easy and open to all He. is reported Co have said:
 Any young man can get rich, can succeed fin business. if he saves. if he has a definite and honest purpose and is SO filled with the purpose that work ceases to be @ hardship and becomes a privilege
 He doesn't know everybody cannot become rich any more than every up right honest and able citizen can be- come president. Half the world today does not earn living wages. It would not be @ good thing for business if everybody practiced frugality and lent themselves to the economies of life. The tnprovidence of two thirds of the people enriches the other third. To hawo all equally alert for their own interests and equally prudent in all the expenditures Of life would prevent the difference in ability which now ex- ists. raise the coornon standard and hold the money makers down. This would make life conditions different, and perhaps better. but it would not put s1 on the high road to luxury and FESe

THE MfDWEEK MEETING.

A Kansas City evangelical minister hns announced his belief that the mid uceE conference and prayer meeting is 1ld-fashioned and to a certain ex- tent has been made obsolete by the changed conditions of the times. His church members approve the change which opens these meetings to enter Uinlrg and instructive talks by prom .aent and well informed men and wo- rau ur topics of immediate and gen. sr- a.esr

OF INTEREST TO STAMP coLLEc-
 TORS.

This is @ fair question. Has the Eueu of the postage stamp been rung g' lt lt has. th- stamps of the past will soon bo greatly advanced in price; and the collection of meter stamps will soon be in order.
 The Birmingham. England, Post says there Is in Great Britain a pro- possl Co adopt the New Zealand sys- tenn. and a5olshiug the use of postage stamps altogether.
 The plan suggested is that, instead Ot laying in a supply of postage stamps or buying one or two at a time, aE needed, you have a stamp meter in- stalled in your cdice or home. A let ter to be mailed is inserted in the meter and rub5er-stamped with an oficial mark which serves the pur- pose of an ordinary postage stamp. The meter records the number of let ters stamped in this way, and when the government agent comes around to read the meter he collects for the number of stamps recorded in the machine.
 The use of envelopes with a print ca stamp in ordinary black type on tle upper USht-hand corner, instead of the colOred adhesivs stamp, has already appeared in this country, es- rsciGlly among large business houses. "
 It Is readily seen that as a matter ot economy this is worthy the con- sideTaton Of the government.

Written Specially for The Bulletin.)
 Hands up! Honor bright, how many have fallen during the past week on one icy streak? Many admit fall and more claim & narrow escape, while they jeer at all others by reminding them that the wicked stand in slippery places. After all, freedom from falls is much a matter of age and weight and temperament. Time was when icy walks had no terror for me, and l was very ready to help older and more timid people over difficult spots, while really felt a sort of contemptuous pity for them, My point of view has changed since then, and now l am the one to be assisted over icy places
 But the ice is a source of great pleasure to many and of profit to oth- CTS. Let the ice dealers consider the commercial side of yhe subject, while we look at 1t as a means of pleasure. What sport the skaters find in it! Given a moonlight night, smooth, safe ice on pond or river, plenty of warm clothing. 9. pleasant company and how the brisk exercise in the keen, frosty air sends the blood bounding through the veins with a rush that defies the cold weather. Some even enjoy s41at- ing in solitude.
 It is recorded of Hawthorne that night found him a solitary skater on Sebago lake. Less famous people have the same habit. so 1t is not strange that Leslie Trowbridge found enjoy ment on the frozen river surface near his friends house where he was spending the holiday vacation. A col lege professor now, he had found throughout his entire students life a delight in outdoor sports. Though he Was a southerner by birth and breed ing, the northern winters gave him great pleasure, and he protested that he would never winter at the south if he could have his choice of climate. Therefore, while so many fled to the south at the approach of ice and snow, he remained at his college except as chance offered him an opportunity like the present. The Elkins, his host ana hostess. were elderly people, and liked the cheerful warmth of their cozy open fire, and he happened to be their only guest at present. When the skating tempted him abroad, he found himself alone on the broad expanse of ice, and :ndulged himself in all possible antics so dear to the heart of the eX- pert on skates. So two evenings til. late at night found him at his favor ite rastime.
 On the third, he noticed other de- vices than those of his making, and realized he was not the only devotee to skating in the vicinity. Inquiries brought him the information that Dor othy Dalton must be home for the holidays.

It makes a man feel humble when he realizes that there is little new thought in the world. There is only left to us original ways of expression and mod ern ways of application. Most of us lead an opaque sort of existence. Only the few have a glass -bottomed boat and eyes to see the depths and their contents. The daring thinker the world distrusts and often derides, and the great thinkers of twenty centuries can be counted upon your fngertips. It is well that the truth cannot be fenced in or barred out by anyone but ourselves. Prejudice and ignorance are the greatest enemies of truth and the real misleaders of ourselves, since they first blind anu then dwarf us.. It Is profitable to be open to the truth, for we have divine assurance that 1t is the one thing which shall make us free-and 1t makes the nations free, too, Some people are as afraid of the truth as a young horse is of the trolley, and they shy from 1t unless it has union label on it; but real truth needs no endorser.

reputation where you are and prove that you are bigger than the situation. There are more important schools than the one you are teaching. Fill up the measure of your present opportunity. Make proper use of the materials at hand.
 The truth is put clearly in Silrs splendid poem which l wish we had space to quote in full With the broken sword which the craven had thrown away as being useless the prince won the fight
 Then came the Kings son, wounded,
 sore bestead, And weaponless, and saw the broken
 sword,
 Hit buried in the dry and trodden sand And ran and snatched it, and with
 battle shout Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy
 down,
 And saved great cause that heroic
 day"
 So it is that what one man will throw away in Encouragement, an- other will pick from the dust and use to win a splendid victory.

Some folks think the world would be greatly improved if they could control the entertainments and regulate the reading of the people. I do not think the masses need their advice or super vision. I have noticed that evil minded persons feed upon the worst in any book, and that pure-minded per- son may profitably read the worst of books It was Charles Kingsley who declared he could have read Rabelais' works with profit had they been twice as nasty, and anyone who has read the unexpurged edition cannot imagine how by any possibility they could have been made worse. Those who have we'll balanced minds have little dispo- sition to feed upon that which is off, fensive to the taste, or to initiate prac- tices which are degrading or criminal What the mind craves man will seek, and what the mind secretly entertains the man will eventually be caught do- ing.

There is no such thing as being a successful trickster, for 1t has been or dained that he who beats others shall finally beat himself. It makes no diff ference how cute we may become at deception, 1t mars us more than 1t in- 1ures the other party. The work which Is compulsory in this world is eharac- ter-building; and every day of life im- presses itself upon our character, for good or Ill; and some people never think of it, they do not appear to real ize that their own evil acts are the things they cannot flee from. If we have through deception won fame or fortune we are not well paid. for the consciousness that we did not play the game of life right haunts us like an evil spirit. The nobility of the spirit ual man depends upon virtue, and of this there is no counterfeit. Some of the men who have great material wealth are spiritually so poor that they are to be pitied.

It is a mean paragrapfner who says: Any spinster can pretend that she would rather be her own boss" It may be true some women are spinsters by birth and that others have spinster- hood thrust upon them. It may be said without danger of contradiction that some of the worlds ablest and noblest women have only been married to their art or vocation. Do not we all know of spinster's lives that have been noble examples of devotion and self-sacrifice. It is not false pretense, perhaps, which stands in the way of these single women as the lack of it. In a country which by the last cen sus shows a surplus of over two mill lion men it ought not to be difficult for every dove to find g. mate. Here In New England we have a surplus of over 100000 women who must look elsewhere for q partner. Love of home, love of order, love of independ- ence may prompt many to spinster- hood; and as a class they have proud record. They all seem to us to be worthy of having good mates.
