GOOD WILL.
BY JAMES A. EDGERTON


Love rules the world. War the con
uueror. finally meets his own conquer
or The lion Of the earth and the lamb
of God lie down together, and the lamb
is master NouresiStaHcc. the return
ing of good for evil. is triumphing
over force and violence The battle
songs are diving. and the hymns of
peace are swelling up to the very
throne The brute in us grows feehler
and the God in us grows stronger with
the passage of the years.
The life and death of the NaZarene
are not forgotten. and the gospel of
good will was not in vain. The song
sung by the angels over Bethlehem
1900 years ago liz today re-echocd by
angels and men over the whole earth.
- The dawn gives place to the sunrise.
The children Of men look over into the
promised land of brotherhood. From
the heavens above to the earth be-
seeming veil of death are vibrant to
the thought of universal love
At last. like little children. we are
coming to see. Love is the all in all
1t conquers her. it conquers war. it
conquers sin. It conquers wrong, it
eonguers us and only when we are
fully conquered by it do we really be
gin TO live.
Love ever gives itself never exacts.
IL ever serves. never enslaves 1t does
good asking no return. 1t seeks to
bless its objects and gains its own hap
piness in the happiness of the one be
loved. 1t. denies not itself 1t flows
out to all creatures. 1t is good will
1t Is comradeship. 1t is glad in the
prosperity and well being of others.
1t is innocent, trusting and joyous. 1t
is good cheer in the heart. laughter on
the lips and sunshine in the life 1t
wearies not in well doing and fails not
ut rehuffs. 1t is as diffusive as light
as imperceptible. as life giving, as all
conquering. The soul that has it has
solved the riddle of the sphinx and
found the key to heaven.
Love is the divine law of life.
When the Master would test one of
his disciples he did not PROFOUND
catechism or a creed. He said "Lov-
est thou me?''
When asked as to the commapd-
ments he gave two, and love is the
burden Of both-love thy God and love
thy neighbor. --~s-~e

shocked and stunned, and IN every

looked at the future with foreboding-
One reporter had remarked. IF there

ruled by chance and chaos

The Champion Cooker.

The steward OF club In Sacra-

cook from Maryland had hit the
town. The steward, calculating that
good old southern cookery would ap-
peal to the members of the organiza-

usual preliminary examination.

"Do you know how to cook lobster

"You jes' give me de kind Of meat
YOU wants used, and I'll fix up dat

This somewhat startled the steward,
but he tried once more.

SELF CONTROL.

Why not be king in your own
world. not a king over others, but
king over yourself?
If you fail to exercise self sovereign
ty you are like a ruler who abdicates.
who confesses himself too weak to sit
upon his throne.
Such ruler is gutter. Don't you
be gutter.
Did you ever realize that your body
is made up Of many lives, that it is
full Of organisms and that your own
will is the ruler Of this populOus
realm?
Did you ever realize that you are a
bundle Of appettes, of desires. of af-
fections, of forces that you cannot
measure and Of tendencies you cannot
fathOm?
Did you ever realize that you In
your heredity and In your soul. whose
origin you do not know, have inherited
the wisdom and experiences, the es-
sence and results OF innumerable lives?
This Is no mean kingdom over which
you are called to exercise control.
There Is In you something Of your Ia
Their and fathers father. Of your moth
er and mothers mother. Of remote gen.
erations whose names you never heard
There are also In you "reminiscences
of yourself, memories that elude you
and yet are very potent in shaping
your life.
Just as you are the heir OF the past.
| SO you are the creator Of the future.
Your children and children's children
through the generations Of the future
| will be better or worse because OF what
| you do, what you think. what you are.
Have you measured these things
Have you contemplated what your rul-
ership Of self may mean?
1t is not alone your own success or
failure you are shaping, but the happi-
ness or misery, the strength or weak
ness, the health or disease of those IN
born.
Not in one single moment of our
lives do we live unto ourselves alone
| We are helping or hurting others all
| the while.
For kingship means responsibility
and in rulership over self is involved
obligation unto others.
Whatever your station in life, you
are king or queen in your own right
Rule yourself.
Follow the royal road Of success, not
only for your own sake, but for those
you love and for those who will come
after you.

LURE OF TREASURE HUNTING
For the Sake of Romance and Adven-

For the sake of romance and ad-
venture and all that puts color into

of the expedition which recently went
to the Isle of Cocos in search Ct pirate
gold will not mark the end of treasure
hunting In the interest also of the
good town of Panama, where the treas

supplies, we should point out that
negative results never really proved
anything. There may be gold on Co
cos. There may be millions of pieces
OF eight and pewels galore and wine
which the buccaneers. wha mad more
than they could drink. laid aside for a
rainy day. Because many treasure
hunters have ransacked Cocos from
end to end no man can say that the
next treasure hunter will not find that

From 1900 to the War of the Rev

whaling port For time it held first
rank and in 1925 shore whaling
reached its highest mark of sc whales
having been taken that year. Some
years later whaling fleets were sent
out to distant points off Newfound-
land, the West Indies, Cape Verde is
lands, and even to Brazil, and the
business was one of large gain de-
spite the danger from French and
Spanish priyateers. In 1875 the Nan
tucket fleet numbered $50, and the
population then was nearly 5000, and
all save meager ten per cent OF

been destroyed or captured during the
War of the Revolution.
