English papers which had been placed

of an audience or from studying the cold

Ihree hundred years ago there was an
Engiish nobleman who sought advice of
klnsman on this matter. The kinsman
also nobleman, told him:
Rather to go a hundred miles to speak
with one wise man than five miles to
see fair town.
The seeing OF fair town was, you see.
In his mind only worth one-twentieth as
much as the exchange of thoughts with
a wise man.
Most of us thing otherwise Given our
choice between travelling to see a wonder
OF nature or Of art and travelling farther
and with greater pains to absorb wis.,

to be feared that we would choose tho
former course, to our loss.
This is not to decry travel, even though
Emerson, who Travelled abroad himself,
called the desire to travel an evidence
of an unsound mind. Travelling is good
In that it broadens the mind and In
creases knowledge.
The Spanish, who were great travellers
some centuries ago. said that whoever
would bring back the riches of the In
dies must take the riches of the Indies
with him.
So he who travels for instruction in
stead of for mere amusement must take
with him the seeing eye and the under

A Real Physician of the Soul

n ANCdi SlCldN Oh Lne SOUL
Now and then amid the record of dongs.
good and bad. of the folks in our town
and In other places comes an item which
uplifts the heart and cheers the spirit.
Such is the STORY" about the Phila-
delph1a pastor who conducts a clinic for
the souls of his parishioners. The word
pastor is used advisedly; he is n true
pastor or shepherd of his flock. He is
more. for lie is a healer of their all
ments
or course, all true clergymen partake
of the nature of physicians That is
part of their calling-to minister to a
mind diseased" They must, if they be
worthy of their cloth, share in the sor-
rows and affections of their people
But
This Philadelphia pastor does more He
invites the confidence of those who look
up 10 him as an interpreter of Holy
Writ.
1t is recorded that on one recent aft
ernoon eight women. distressed in mind
and contemplating suicide, called upon
him and received the friendly advice which
turned them from the path which threat
ened TO lead them to self destruction.
Here Is one paragraph from the STORY"
With a good afternoon that made one
glad she was living, he strobe into the
room and his walk and bearing suggested
energy, the joy of living, the determina-
tion to do things.
You can picture for yourself the true
minister entering that room, bringing
with him an atmosphere of uplift and
hopefulness.
Now the application of this tale is not
for ministers Of the gospel alone It is
for you, for me, for everyone.
We can all be servants of the uplift
and physicians to the soul. We need no
degree from medical college or theologi-
cal seminary. We need no license to
practice the healing of the spirit.
And we need no complicated armament
tarium, such as the physician of the body
employs--just the will to do good to
others and the energy to carry that will
into effect.
The word spoken In time is one of the
medicines. The word of encouragement
to cheer a dropping heart is another.
The smile of cheer counts for much. The
word of censure rightly spo.en, in such
way as to warn and not to offend. may
be termed the bitter. necessary quinine
for the soul.
Every thinking man and woman can
| add to his or her stock of such medi-
clnes They are to be found in every
