TO HEART TALKS-By James A. Edgerton

| 1t has the discernment to see but the
| best In all creatures.
| Love transiigures morally, mentally
and physically. Morally 1t takes from
us the desire to overreach and injure
others. Mentally It turns all our gifts
into helpful and gracious channels. Phys
ically it softens and beautifies our faces
| lends light to the eyes and smile to
| the lips.
| Love takes the bitterness from disap-
| pointment and the sting from sorrow 1t
/! plants outward flowers on the graves of
its dead and inward flowers to shed frag-
rance over their memories. 1t admits no
separation, but holds it's objects closer

of life, closes down our eyelids when
we fall asleep and accompanies us in
our journey to the realm beyond the
shadow.
of doubt and its rain of tears. the spr-
ituai sunlight breaks through and forms
a perfect rainbow, with one foot in the
| land of the living and one in the world
of the dead. 1t is the rainbow of love.
At the gulf of death all things elsa
falter and fail. Words do not reach
across. and the language we would fain
fancy is from the other side falls into
| a meaningless jargon that is a mockerv.
Hope, bright eyed and joyous, pauses
upon that brink, and as she looks at
the blackness beyond, her smile dies and
the light goes out of her eyes. Even
faith, usually SO confident and fearless.
falters in crossing that abysm. But love
at the touch of the dread angel, only
grows the stronger and binds us with
'firmer bond to the one who has gone
before
Hope may be palsied by fear, and
faith may fall in doubt, but love loves
on. Unquestioning and unafraid. II

Likewise froth and driftwood are seen
on the surface of the river of humanity.

conclusion that all the river is made up
of bubbles and rubbish Only those who
look deeper see the clear waters
Today the human river Is flowing rap

times like these that the amount of froth

Yet at these times the volume of pure

tools increase the dynamic capacity of
the limbs" Dress, he intimates, extends
the endurance of the body, as tools ex-
tend the power and value of the muscles
and the arm. One is a second skin, while
the other is a third, and more powerful
hand.
Further, our author observes that
though dress, when once assumed, i'm
plies many meanings, it does not follow
that all these meanings were In the mind
of quasi primitive man when he decided
thus to cover himself. Mr.. Crowley quotes
Stanley Hall. that indefatigable inquirer
who by questioning many individuals
learned that there are present to the
average mind three motives concerning
dress, and sets them down in this order:
Protection, ornament and Lotzean self
feeling"
1t is upon the second of these that
many observers have fastened attention,

, order that we may have more abundant
ly of the thing that is for us.
In the real sense the only self-denial
lIs in doing evil That does take away
from us actually. But to deny ourselves
thing that Injuries us only adds to us.
To injure another Is to injure ourselves,
for action and reaction are equal. So
that to refrain from injuring another
actually helps ourselves.
This, In way, is the selfish view of
the case. We do right because that
furnishes us most happiness. But there
is an instinct in the soul that tells us
to do good without stopping to consider
what its effects on us may be; to do
good because 1t is good; to do good for
the goods sake. And this is the proper
out the element of self-seeking and puts
us on the mpersonal plane of acting from
a principle. In this case we help others
because we wish them well and want
to make them happy. We act for all
because our hearts go out to all and we
would give them a blessing.
! When we act on this higher plane we
are expressing our better natures, our
souls. We are coming into harmony
with the laws of our own being. We
are shifting our point of motive from
| the brute self to the divine self. We
are gaining harmony between the diff
ferent elements Of our own nature-that
| is. making the lower subject to the high
| er. We are making the lion and lamb,
as both are expressed within us, lie down
together. with the lamb as master. We
are passing from a dual. warning ma
ture into one nature at pcace with itself.
| This is the highest wisdom. 1t is in
| nate In each of US. If we but listen to
the still. small voice we realize the
truth without being told it by another.
| All seeming good that Is not in conform
| ity to this real goo dis delusion. There
| is no truth but truth. That truth is in
| our own souls and If we but hearken to
| its promptings it will show us the way.
| The lesson of living is to learn how to
do good for its own sake.
The night has a thousand eyes,
| The day, but one.
Yet the light of the whole world dies
| At set of sun.
| The mind has a thousand eyes,
| The heart but one,
Yet the light of the whole world dies
| When love is done.
| Throughout the ages alchepists strove
to find some magic substance that would
transmute the baser metals into gold, but
they did not realize that it was a spiritual
not a physical. thing for which they
sought Love transmutes all things into
gold. He who has love in his life sees
the beautiful and good everywhere. For
him the universe is transformed and
there is in 1t nothing mean or ignoble
Love is proverbially blind-to the bad.

man. he owned two plantations on the
Savannah river, both of which were
stocked with a large number of negro
slaves. Besides this, he operated large
mercantile interests in Savannah and Au-
gusta. Having married a half-breed
Indian near wetumpka, in this state,
Lachlan MeGillivray became the father of
four children, one of whom was Alexan-
der, of whom we have yet much to learn:
another married a French officer. who
afterward became a brigadier In the army
of Napoleon, Gen. LIE Clerc Milrort; stn1
another became the wife of a wealthy
Huguenot merchant Benjamin Durant,
the ancestor of the present Durants In
Baldwin and Mobile counties, while an
other was married to a half-breed. James
Bailey. of whom we shall have occasion
to learn somewhat when we come to de-
scribe the massacre of Fort Minis. These
names are suggestive of fountain sources
of history as will appear In future arti-
ces in this series.
This prepares us for entrance on the
marvellous career of Alexander McGilliy-
raw.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-01

N HE name of Alexander McGilli-
vray is inseparable from the
earliest annals of Alabama his
tory. So conspicuous was he, so unique
in character and In deed that to omit
his name from the primitive records
of Alabama would be to occasion a
serious gap. Though a private citizen
he was in the grasp of power practical
ly a sovereign. His force was not only
magnetic In its touch. 1t was potential
He was born to dominate, and his facil-
fty in planning and scheming as we'll
as in execution, was extraordinary. Nor
was the dominion of his influence re-
stricted to Alabama. for it embraced
Georgia and Florida, and extended even
to the great annoyance of the general
government which was then seeking
to stand erect in its emergence from in
fantile conditions.
McGi1livray was the Machiave1li of
these early tips. With gaze reared
immensely above his contemporaries
he planned vast designs, while the or

Be not deceived by these superficial
appearances. Look deeper. There you
will find pure water, the life of the peo-
pie. For the most part the masses are
living honest God-fearing lives. The
great human current is wholesome and
clear. The common folk are sound, as
they have ever been. They are true to
the old standards. They hold fast that
which is good.

this faith seriously disturbed because one

/ know there are ever some froth and
driftwood on the stream, but | also

have drunk of the stream of life and
know that it is good.
Be not deceived 1t is true that good
ness, honesty, fair dealing, conscientious
work, high ideals and right deeds win
now as they have ever won. The only
real success is gained through the ex-
ercise of these qualities. The seeming
prosperity of crooked men is as short
lived as the bubble on the water
In this age we are trying all things,
but we must not forget to hold fast that
which is good.
There are two kinds of people = those
who play a square game and those who
stack the cards.
Every game must have rules and a
code of honor, the game of life among
the rest.
The man who does not play according
to the rules, who violates the code of
honor, is an outcast if discovered.
And he is always in danger of being
discovered. Sooner or later somebody
with real eyes in his head will watch
the cheater's game. Discovery will mean
disgrace and the tumbling of the sharp's
house of cards.
| What kind of game do you playa
straight or crooked game?
| If a crooked one. what do you expect
to gain by it? Money? What is money
compared to peace of mind and self-re-
| spect?
| Moreover, the ingenuity required to
! cheat will almost invariably bring in more
money if applied to improving ones game
along straight and legitimate lines.
| After all, the crook is a coward. He is
| afraid TO meet other men on an equal
footing. He is afraid to compete.
| Any man of real spirit and manly pride
would be ashamed to confess that he
fears to engage other men on equal
terms and to match his ability against
theirs. Yet the crook makes exactly that
confession by resorting to unfair methods.
GET in the game and play it straight.
! Re TOO good a sport to admit you can't
meet others on equal terms.
