WEALTH.

Wealth cannot confer great
ness. for nothing can make that
great which the decree Of nature
has ordained to be little. The
bramble may be placed In q hot
bed, but can never become an
oak. Even royalty irself is not
able to give that dignity which
It happens not to find, but OPP
presses feeble minds, though 1t
may elevate the strong. The
world has been governed In the
name Of kings, whose existence
has scarcely been perceived by
any real effects beyond their
own palaces. When, therefore,
the desire Of wealth is taking
hold of the heart let US look
around and see how 1t operates
upon those whose industry or
fortune has obtained it. When
we fiud them oppressed with
their own abundance, luxurious
without pleasure, idle without
ease, impatient and querulous in
themselves and despised or hat
ed by the rest of mankind, we,
shall soon be convinced that If
the real wants of our condition
are satisfied there remains little
to be sought with solicitude or
desired with eagerness.-Samuel
Johnson.

One evening just few moments be-
fore closing time an elderly man and
his wife entered book store in New
York city. according to an American
publisher quoted In the BOOKSELLER.
Practically every one had left the floor.
With the exception of one clerk. The
lady wanted a particular kind of book
for most particular friend. and aft
er the clerk had spent half an hour
during which time he had taken near
~ every book out of the shelvesl the
husband became impatient, not the
book clerk. He WAS us gGn.a: and
agreeable as though he were selling II

the entire profit Of the sale. Finally
size secured just the book she wanted.

salesman that he offered him q posi-

then receiving.

LABOR'S HOPE.

No man in all our history was
a tirmer believer in law and or
der than Thomas jefferson. The
right of man to labor is inal.
ienable, and the right of a man
10 quit work is just as unde.
niable. Neither capital nor labor
has the right TO take the law into
its own hands. If capital does
wrong that is nc reason why la
Dor should do wrong. or vice YER
sa. Two wrongs never did and
never will make right. In a
government such as ours the
reign of law must not give way
To the reign Of force The law
must be obeyed by all. The best
advice that any friend can give

its struggle for its just rights.

SOCIAL JUSTICE.

The function Of the modern
rabbi Is twofold-to teach Jew
ish ideals to the Jew and to in
terpret Jewish ideals to the.
Christians. The modern rabbi is
not the priest Of an ancient the
ology. but his is the task Of the
prophet. Which counts most, So
cial justice or the fear Of criti-
cism and opposition? No slave,
no coward. can help the cause Of
justice. There are those Of us
whose hearts remain dumb and
unstirred to the appeal for social
Justice. They care not for Amer
lean principles. The literature
and the history OF America are
unknown to them. Indifferent
or cynical, they must be reused
to recognize responsibility to
acknowledge and fulfill duty.
The mission of America is social
justice. 1t IS engraved upon the
heart and inscribed on the ban
ner Of our leader. the president.
1t is visible in the patient suf-
ferings and hopes Of the Jewish
people in ages past. Even now
are there not those who still
must suffer for their Jewish man
hood and their love OF justice?
Are there nevertheless some
among lis who despise. who dare
even scon and jeer at, this holy
call to action? America means
progress. America means social
justice.-Rabbi Leo Mannheimer.

I GIVE THEE ETERNITY.

How many paltry, foolish, paint

That now In coaches trouble
every street
Shall be forgotten, whom no
poet sings,
Ere they will be wrapped in
their winding sheet,
Where to thee eternity shall
give
When nothing else remaineth
of these days
And queens hereafter shall be
glad to live?
Upon the aims of thy superflu-
GUS praise
Virgins and matrons, reading

That they shall grieve they lived

So shalt thou fly above the vul-

Still to survive in my immortal

A CITY OF CHANGE.
Ephesus, Once on the Seaeoast, 10 Nov
Located Far Inland,

Located Far Inland.
Sir William Ramsay characteriZes
Ephesus as the city Of Change" And
truly it has seen marvellous changes
and its inhabitants many removals. In
the days of st. Paul and st. John Eph-
esus was a city of the seacoast; the
waters Of the Aegean Tapped its busy
Wharves. Now the traveller to Ephesus
can scarcely imagine that he is near
the sea. To all appearances he is as
far away as on one Of our inland prai-
ries. The Cayster during all these ages
has brought down mud and silt from
the mountains until now Ephesus is
miles from the seashore. Even in st.
Johns time the port was kept open
only by strenuous effort and constant
dredging.
These changes wrought by nature
have compelled frequent changes on
the part of the inhabitants. The orig
inaI city was built not far from Ayaso-
louk and "the whole Ephesian valley
was an arm of the sea dotted with
rocky islands and bordered by pictur-
esque mountains and wooded promon.

in the course Of the centuries the pop.

city, the city Of st. Paul and st. John
was some miles from the original site
At last this port became impossible and
the inhabitants moved farther back

city. where today the few inhabitants
that still remain are found.-Christian

RULES OF LIFE.


Ny method is the freshest,

Forget the past. forget the fu.
ture. Life is a habit rs hard
or as easy TO acquire as any
other in life. I'm no genius. My
friends have found that out.
But take no thought for the fu-
ture nor the past When the
load of tomorrow Is added to the
load Of yesterday many men fall
ter OH the way. The first Two
hours Of day determine that
day. Quit tobacco and liquor.
Bright eyes are the thing. The
control Of the mind as a work.
