HEART TO HEART TALKS-By Charles n Lurie

Use it for the glory of God and the
advancement of man.
So shall the Master when you give
ward you with the old well done,
thou good and faithful servant"
There is gift of serving as there is
a faculty of leading. There is the will
lingness to follow as well as the power
to lead. There Is the spirit which
asks: How shall I server" instead of
How shall make other serve meg'
OF leaders there are few, of follow
ers many. Yet without the servants
there shall be no masters.
"All the architects of fate, working
in these walls of time," said the poet
Not so. All are not architects of
skill in planning buildings. But any
may be bricklayer or a dresser of
stone or lend hand at the ropes
which haul the blocks into position.
"They also serve who only stand and
wait"
If there Is any way in which you can
help to ameliorate the condition of
those less fortunate than yourself
If with hand or voice or pen you can
lend aid to any of the public move
ments which look to the Fastening of
the dawn of a better day
Don't hoard your talent. Put it to
use Burnish it into the brightness of
with your fellow man.
An English newspaper printed recently
the following advertisement:
"a good cook is offered magnificent
view from kitchen window of main thor
oughfare with constant arrests, small
accidents, ambulance calls and other in
teresting incidents at all hours of the
day or evening"
Funny, isn't it?
Mistress had to offer such Inducements
to get cook.
You can imagine the cook standing at
the window when her work isn't pressing,
looking out and enjoying the constant
arrests. small accidents, ambulance calls
and other interesting Incidents"
Let's hope that not too many Of them
come together. If they do there'H be
burned potatoes and spoiled sauces, and
the master Of the Observation-Disclosures are
not famous for their patience under such
provocation-wil have much to say about
careless servants and COMPOUNDED impu-

For this peculiar feature of warfare the
white man of America is indebted to the
Indian savage. This method had much
to do with the success of our arms dur
ing the American revolution. though even
the conservative English commanders
sometimes recognized Its efficiency and
adopted it. in violation of their soien-
tific training. The method of ambuseade.

was popular mode of warfare during
the revolution. 1t was during that pc
Rod that guerilla tactics was first en-
ployed with remarkable success. To some
extent the method of shielding them
selves behind distractions had much to
do with our successes during the late
Civil war. The southerner more than
the man from the north was given to
firing at wild game from a rest or sup
port, and southern men rarely failed to
avail themselves of screens of protec-
ton when they were within convenient

er not. In the latter cases their pres
ence and their work are taken for
granted They become the accustomed
thing, a cog in the wheel, proper note
in the harmony of life.
OF such was the Scotch minister of
whom the following story is told:
He noticed that an old lady, mem
Der of his congregation of many years
standing fell asleep every time he
preached, while when young students
from the theological seminary acted as
substitutes for him she remained
awake and was most attentive.
The clergyman was chagrined and
thought his old friend was not paying
proper, respect to her minister. He
took her to task for her actions, de-
handing an explanation. And this was
the reply he got:
"Weel, minister, I ken the world of
God is safe in your hands, but when
the young fellows came along it takes
me all my time to watch them"
Happy are the people who do not
need to be watched. And still more
happy those who are served by such.
Sometimes the latter miss their re-
ward here. They shall have it here
after.
Sometimes, but seldom, these patient.
willing workers, go ON strike' for
recognition. They tire of the long years
of easy acceptance of all they do for
others and insist on receiving recon-
pense. They are like Mrs Sarah Penn

story. "The Revolt of Mother" who

test until fathers" disregard of her
desire for a new house, for which she
had longed and worked and prayed.

He did not need it, while mother"
did need and deserve the new house.

YER" said Mr.. Taft to law students of
Albany IF you have done your best in
case you can school yourself to defeat
and you can pluck out of that defeat
lessons for future actions. But If you
have a secret sense of having won by a
slick trick you have dulled your nice
sense of professional fairness and you
will never gain that high standing at the
bar which wou ought to value as it's
most precious prize"
Not alone for lawyers is this advice
good.
Others are "slick' and dig pits for
themselves. Some of the Beers, for ex-
ample. before the war with England were
known as ''slim persons. The word
Slim means the eame as our slick"

science that had been taught him at West

to those used by the Indians themselves
When this was done, the Indians we're
completely foiled. and soon the war WAS
brought to a close.

u ROM an article about christy
Mathewson. the famous pitcher, in
L the Delineator. the following is
taken. The speaker is Mathewson's
mother:
Last year Christy came to me and
told me of an offer that had been made
to him to lend his name to big Broad
way amusement place-a drinking and
dancing place-Just to let it be called
the Christy Mathewson and to appear
there for five or 10 minutes twice a week.
Great pressure was put on him. The
temptation was thousands week.
Mother said he, If had to make money
that way 1 wouldn't want any,
$50, you see, Christy knows there is
something in the world worth more than
money. Money can cost too much
AS Franklin put 1t, you can pay too
much for your whistle" You can fill
the balance pan with money and put into
the other side your self-respect. If the
regard for your conscience kicks the beam
you enroll yourself among the Worship
ers of cash. If the money loses its weight
and is outbalanced by your true self you
may not become wealthy. but your soul
will wax and grow in strength.
To get back to Mathewson:
All good baseball fans know that he
will not pitch on Sundays Whether
written or not, this has been a part of
/; his contract with the New York club for
which he has been so successful a pitcher
for more than dozen years-he will
not play ball. which means work to him
and the other professional players, on
Sunday.
The laws of many states, especially in
the west. permit the playing of profess
sional ball on Sunday, with the charging
of admission and all the other features
of the games of week days. Most ball
players have no scruples about working
then. and the games generally attract
crowds.
But they never see Mathewson pitch.
There may be some good arguments
in favor of Sunday games In some places,
but 1 should not like to see my boy
playing on that day, and he knows it,"
, says Matty's mother.
Perhaps Mathewson's salary, already
one-of the largest paid to the ball play
ers, would be increased II he would con-
sent to waive his scruples and pitch on
Sunday.
But he will not do 1t. The thought of
the gray haired mother in the little home
town who would not like to see her boy
working on the Sabbath will keep him
1Kfom it.
In the lives of most of us, in our
business or domestic relations, enter
the folks upon whom we depend. We
know them and their work. They have
parts to play. work to do, and they
NIL their places without fuss or jar.
They are the necessary people.
They go along for years and years,
doing what h required Of them. never

either among their own people or their
English neighbors.
For what is man prorited If he shall
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul?" 1t would take a mighty "slick"
man to gain the whole world, for you
have to be very smart to gain even a
small fraction Of It, To acquire it all
one would have to be the 'slickest' per-
son ever known, more avid of gain, more
avaricious, more grasping and more able
to convert your neighbours goods into
yours than any of our American oil or
steel or lumber millionaires or than any
of Europes great bankers.
But in the end 'all is vanity" You
gain the whole world. you lose your own
SOUL and the net result is loss.
