Thirty years ago only the most dis.

In Woodrow Wilson. Z A few did. but to
most people he appeared as man OF
unusual ability. but with nothing
fiashy or precocious. He talked well !;

could compel. or al least invite, the in
spiration by settling himself at his
desk and beginning TO work After
many years Of this sort OF discipline
he was heard TO say laughingly that he
had tanned himself to be regular
mill horse.
Acquaintance have fancied that
they could see the orderly habits OF his
mind reflected in the orderly desk at
which he worked. No clutter and con-
fusion OF notes. manuscripts. hooks
and loose papers there. but instead
everything as neatly and methodically
arranged as a surgeons instruments.
he would open the drawer OF desk,

'F0r of Such is the
Kingdom of Heaven

Not long ago In a Kentucky city a
teacher reported to the mothers club
in connection with her school that one
little boy never went home for lunch
at the noon recess hour She thought
he was hungry. and this. perhaps, &C
counted for his bad marks and his
naughty behavior. She thought, per.
haps, it would be a good thing for the
club to see that the boy got some in
expensive lunch every day.
The club duly Investigated and made
the formal report that It had looked
into the matter and found the case
not worthy! AS a result, the little
boy continues to 60 without his lunch.
He may have bad mother or faith

a result of the clubs human justice.
the boy suffers.
Think Of it! All the other little
boys and girls 20 to some sort Of
home where they are welcome II may
be q poor place, but 1t Is lighted and
warmed with a mothers love. The
little lunch may be very meager, but
1t Is the best the parents can give

And the unworthy" little boy is de-
prived OF all this. With a stomach
crying for food, with little, wild
beating heart yearning for some hui
man interest and affection, with a
young brain seething with revolt at
the early cruelties OF his world. is it
any wonder that the child Is lax in
his studies, rebellious towards his
teachers?
And all because the cold. scientific
investigators found the case "un-
worthy"
That's charity for you. That's
brotherly love in community which
processes belief In the sublime words
of the great teacher who said that lit

The tragedy OF growing old is that
you feel so young. Many middle
