Is indicated by the fact that revenue cutters went to the assistance of 439 vessels during 1s42=45 when 432 people were rescued and eargees valaed at $sl,0o0,00e were saved. Such service provides excellent protection as far as 1t goes but it Is unable to reach a much greater number of vessels, of which large proportion would hasten to take advantage of safer Inside route.

1t is hard on 8 girl to marry widOwer to get home. when she learns she has become a sa1aryless cook for his family; just as it is a serious disappointment to a man to marry rich to soon discover that he is the only hope of the family. Per haps it is true some women never give attention to trifies until they have married one" and that There are so few wise men among bachelors be- cause men do not get wisdom until after they are married" but we shall not venture to endorse these senti- ments. No doubt it is mercenary mo tiYes which give matrimOny such q slant toward the divorce courts, and have made joke of that ancient con- yiction that Matches are made in Heaven It used to be said: No man can live piousIy. or die righteously, without wife; " but now it is doubted if he can do either with one. If
 Swedenborg is right the man of sev- eral wives has no future problem. for in Heaven they make but one angel. Perhaps the advice of William Penn concerning marriage is the best ex- tant: Never marry but for love; but see that tho4 l2--art ----% is lovely"

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
THANKSGIVING HOSPITALITY.

On no feature of the approaching Thanksgiving festival do our thoughts dwell with more satisfaction than on the family reunions to be enjoyed. If the day served no other purpose than to strengthen family ties and gleFify the home it's ebsefvances would be justified. Around the laden board and in the afternoon following thousands of family groups in America will come closer together than the throng- ing affairs of ordinary days permit.

At such times the lot of the home less man CT woman is particularly dismal The hall bedroom and the boarding house table lose what meager attraction they ever had. The youth alone in a great city or travelling afar from familiar scense feels as never before that life without folks" real people to knew and love him, is a poverty stricken thing indeed, Occa- sienalIy one gets glimpses into the loneliness that walks our city streets, retiring at night to cramped and hired quarters. and the vision is a really moving one.
 Why not include in your invitations this year some unattached young man, some lonely young woman who would otherwise pass a cheerless day? Give the homeless a taste of home. Let them feel the joy of genuine human welcome. How otherwise can you give and receive more pleasure?
 It is easy to be selfish in the mat ter of hospitality. We are apt to en- certain within the narrowest limits. A small and select circle of congenial friends or close relatives alone are eligible for our inyitations. In the words of the apostle we salute our brethen only" Our feast is for Me and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four. no more. No bars are higher than social ones.
 St Paul gave counsel to the early Christians that is not out of place for modern ones. Be not forgetful to en- tertain strangers, he urges; giving as a reason, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." It is true one may not often discover such celestial masqueraders among his guests: but he will very often find, what in this mundane shpere is bet ter friends altogether worth while. Some teacher from another state, some struggling young clerk from the country, some student recalling good times of other days in his own home such guests as these may well be in- ci1ided for their own sakes and for the interest and life of the party.

A youth might as well be a physical cripple as to get established in his mind the thought there is no chance in life for him. 4 few failures early in life ought to be of use to a man if he is resolved to profit by his mistakes: It is a true rule of life that where there is the greatest competition there is the least chance of success. Most men fail because they never sincerely felt they should succeed; and a few be- cause of circumstances or conditions over which they had nc control. Half knowledge enough and haIft heart enough and half capital enough never yet made for enterprise, progress or achievements A sure foundation is necessary for every project in life
 The world cannot hold a live man down, for he knows hope and push will win in the end. A man whe failed as a banker has been known to get rich making chewing gum.

It is just as we'll in this world to beware of the man who says; You are not lookin9 well, today It does n't matter how you look to him, or any one else, so long as you are feel- ing we'll Many a person has been made to feel i'll in consequence of talk ing such a remark seriously, Because you do not look well to the other per- son is no reason why you should feel sick. The power of suggestion is something to be recognized and check ed, Let friend tell a nervous person he does not look well, and the mentally weak one immediately feels sick. There is no occasion for a depressing remark, and persons of good judge ment seldom make one The worried nervous mother can have her children sick half the time by keeping up 6 fear of disease in their minds, and telling thein they do not look strong. The hopeful word and thought has brought more people out of invalidism than medicine. In fact there is noth- ing annoys a physician like the gloomy forebodings of a patient. If you have no confidence in your doctor, he can have only slight hopes for you.
 The person who is afraid of making enemies is in a pitiful plight If a person can stand for any good princi- pie and not make enemies l am not aware of it. So far as this world goes history is rather convincing that those who least deserved enemies have al- ways had them in abundance Some times enemies are the best evidence of the stamina in a man. This is one thing we do not have to try to make for if we do our duty as 1t is given us to see it, we can have plenty of them, Somehow it takes less time to make an enemy than it does to make a green willow whistle. It is not inl- possible fer man to have become his own worst enemy before he is aware of it; and then he thinks every one is his enemy wha tries to save him, It is evident we de not always know eur enemiesI and when we de, we dc net value them as we should, It is our enemies who first find cut our faults and who are fast to tell us of them, If we profit by their diligence we are made the better.

When we taIIz about what makes for

When we talk about what makes for success, we usually forget to mention backbone and cheek. which are so of ten used for resolution and courage. If a man lacks grit the other qualities which make for efficiency seem to be held in abeyance A mans face and spinal column count in all the affairs of life. With all his other qualifca- tions he must look equal to his task. There is an old prover5 which runs thus: Looks are nothing behavior is all" We must confess that it is possible for person to look right and to belle his looks by his action This applies particularly to the man who is clean without but unclean within. Cheek implies a total absence of bash fulness which of itself elads direct to impotency, as does also a limp back bone \ we'll balanced character is necessary for success simply because it is the counterpart of well bal anced mind. As Johnson puts it: Moderation is usually firm, and firm ness is commonly successful" It may be well to always bear in mind The surest way not to fail. is to determine to succeed

THE MAN WHO TALKS

I wonder why the ambition of the average person is te de something he can't instead of something he knows he can? We preserve the saying of F. T. Barnum If we aim aat the sun we may hit a staF'' which every person who knows anything about stars knows is rank nonsense. The skillful marlzsmen everywhere are ex- perts because they trained nerve and eye to take accurate aim at things within range whether still or moving. Aiming at one thing with the possi- bility of hitting something else ten thousand times as far away, has no merit whatever in it. There is nc ob- lection to a high imaginary standard if it is within the range of probability or possibility; but too many high ideals are of such a fugitive nature that they cannot be located. Knowing our own ability and capacity it is we'll to mark d goal within range, and then with determination strive to win 1t. We must keep within our zone or power or the endeavor will prove abortive. Speaking of high ideals re- minds US it was Walter Scott who said: We build statues of snow and weep to see them melt"
 A great preacher once said; If you want your neighbor to know what the Christ spirit will do for him, let him 
 was the common way of making oth- CTS acquainted with the practical worth of Christianity perhaps so much complaint would not be heard of the falling off in membership. and the weakening of the church. It is up to the church member to show the un believer that he has something which the unbeliever needs, and then he will want it. It takes no argument or Sunday laws to compel man to seek for things he recognizes are for his real betterment If a Christian is practically the same kind of a man as he who professes nothing, what is there in Christianity to attract men. The One who spake as no man ever before spoke said: the spirit of love would attract all men unto it. and in his life made his averment evident. How can men be his true followers without making evident the same thing2 What the people are yearning for is proof not affirmations and who can deny that the proof is within the ability of Christ's followers?

Yankee.

Theories are numerous as to the or
igin of the word Yankee" but the en-
cyclopedias practically agree regard
ing it's use. It's correct application is
in slang sense to citizens Of New
England, but it has been applied by
Europeans to any citizen of the United
States. In the war of independence
British soldiers applied the name to
their opponents and in the Civil war
Confederate soldiers generally spoke
of the northern men as Yankees. In
a History of the American War;" by
DR.. William Gordon, published In 1879,
Yankee was said to have been a cant
word at Cambridge as early as 1913,
where it was used to express excel
lency. He quotes such expressions as
"a yankee good horse" yankee good
cider" etc. Webster's New Interna.
tional Dictionary gives theory that
the word is corrupt pronunciation of
the word English, or, of the French
word Anglais, by the native Indians OF

Budget that the harvest picnic to be
held August 16 at Bruce would have
been held here, in fact the intention
was to hold it here, but there was
no response by the business men.
The writer is of the opinion that
such a meeting would actually be
worth more to the city than half a
dozen such celebrations as were re-
Gently pulled off. Ladysmith could
entertain those who attended such
a meeting in first-class shape if it
started out to do it and the result
ing good will would be of incalculable
benefit to the city. Why not get up

date this winter, work up an enthu-
siastic meeting and see that all who
attend have a good time Let us
get away from the idea that the
only time we want to get a lot of
people into the city is when there
are supplied an unusual array of
opportunities for them to part with
heir money for things that are no
benefit to them.
