To begin with. Anglo-Saxon individual
ism, our incurable habit of thinking for
ourselves, generally with insufficient data
to guide us, we have here something
which, as Hamlet observes so sagely,
may give us pause" We must accept
the habit as incurable. We and all our
people, because we imblbe the principles
of the democracy with our mothers milk,
insist that we have the inalienabe right
to think wrong. Particularly in religion
does this apply. The one subject in the
world whose roots stretch furtherest into
the vague and unknown Infinite is the
chief field for our egotistical dogmatism.
Professionalism. which insists on the right
of private judgment, has resulted in put

of the deadliest and the most allur-

Now this Anglo Saxon trait has made
of the Anglo Saxons the greatest col

ages the colonizing has passed beyond
the stage of the cowboy and the prom

stage of community action, wherein
the imperial welfare of the nation has
commanded men by the million to lay
down everything even to life itself

That is the root of the heresy, the

But what is done by these on small
scale, and is certainly wrong. becomes
not right when done by many on a large
scale. War is not right if murder is
wrong. Refusal to associate with inno-
cent fellow Christians is wrong. whether
we be many or few And If the schis-
maticaI person is wrong in denying his
unity with the whole Church of Christ,
what becomes of the right of any ortho-
dox persons, of any denomination to sep
arate into group and deny the spiritual
unity of the household OF faith?
Here Is the fruitful source of divi-
sions among our rural folk and the
source also OF a lack in community
consciousness and co-operation for the
common good. As the great Scotch
teacher, Denny, observes, "rhe supreme
sin of the ages has been the sacrifice
of the interests of the kingdom to
the supposed interests of a church or
of sect The church exists to sac
rifice herself for the sake of the king
DOM" But the kingdom of God has
become a phrase almost void of sig
nificance in the rural churches to say
nothing of the average city church.
Here again let me guard the state
ment. l do not doubt that apart from
the church the prospects of the king

pereeives it: To socialize the settle

to the individuals capacity for sacri-
ficial passion that he will be a unity

community In which he lives; to use

the burden of the community.

"Parnassus spoke the can't of Billings

There are two words in this short sem
tence worthy of consideration. they are

the popular meaning of cant" which is
to speak with an affected voice. and, gem
orally, TO assume in speech what one is
not in fact; to drawl out ones words as
if one were singing, for the infinitive
'cantare." means to sing. 1t seems to
me that the word cant" however, has
a meaning other than this; and other
than "a wheel" or Corner which
some tell us it meant in the beginning
Tt appears that the word in the sixteenth
century belonged to the vocabulary OF
thieves and all manner OF rogues. 1t
meant their adopted dialect, for then. as
now this class had its peculiar slang
In Gaelic "eainnt' meant slang or
"jargon" as well as dialect" and the
most reasonable deduction is that the
word came not from the French or Latin,
but from the Kettle or Gaelic. 1t meant,
as I think, the language of rogues; from
this meaning it passed on to describe the
manner of this class when speaking; and
from this secondary meaning, it was ap-
piled to describe the tones Of sham holi-
ness

that required greater courage than was

Among other things gained from the
Indian visitors was that a fleet of ships
lay off the present site of Pensacola

This was confirmed by reports direct from
the south. 1t was a temptation to aban-
don all and seek the coast, which he
would have DONE but for the humiliation
of failure. He often thought of his

promised himself much ease on his re-

never to see again.

Thomas Morris was an iron manu-
facturer in Yonkers. N. Y. Mr.. Lynch
is contractor in the same city.
Originally the two were warm
friends, but business disagreements
arose, and they became bitter enemies.
They did not speak for years. All
efforts of mutual friends TO bring about
reconciliation were vain.
Neither wanted to hear the name OF
the other and their families and friends
for the most part respected their
wishes.
Recently Mr.. Morris fell dangerously
i'll. The doctors pronounced his dis

that would save him was TRANSMISSION

In some way this came to the ears
OF Mr. Lynch. He gave no sign that

Friendship of youth rersserted itself.
Still he gave no sign.
On Sunday morning James J. Lynch
went to church What he heard there
is not on record. Possibly it was the
text, Love your enemies"
At any rate after church he walked
straight to the residence of Thomas
Morris. The maid who answered the
bell was so amazed at the sight of him
that she could scarcely open the door.

ject could not have offered.
On entering the room where lay his
enemy James j. Lynch spoke no word.
Mr.. Norris was so low he could not
have spoken had he desired. But his
eyes held mute question and wonder
as they rested on his foe.
Down on the bed by his side that
foe laid himself, the proper incisions
were made. and the blood from the
strong man soon coursed through the
veins of the one at the threshold OF
death In a short time the patient
showed a pronounced gain in strength
and hopes We're entertained for his ul-

As a matter of fact, many general
terms now employed were once proper
names of cities or individuals. little
thought and scrutiny would disclose this
fact in many instances. Calico receives
it's name from the city in India, from
which it was first imported, Calicut. Nus
lin got its name from the city in which
it was first made, Moussel. Some years
ago there was a very pretty and dainty
pattern of muslin worn, called Dolly
Warden The colors were gay and
snowy. hence the makers of this fabric
selected the name of the vivacious daugh-
ter of Gabriel Warden, in Barnaby Rudge,
and gave 1t to this cloth. Cambria was
first made at Cambrai lisle thread at
Lille. and the mantua maker had her
rise in Mantua.

money lenders and pawnshoppers. The

is said that the three golden balls used
as the sign of the pawnbroker were upon
the coat at-of-arms of the first Lombard
money lender, and were adopted by the
craft by universal consent. The famous
family of de Medici was designated by
three golden balls, for. very early in his
tory, one of their house slew a giant
