Hi MAN WHO TALKS

The young couple just starting in life would be wise if they comprehend ed that money spent for show IS the real bar to finally showing a surplus, Trying to keep up appearances mas kept many family on the verge or want. Show and vanity are partners' and so are simplicity and purity
 Ffguratively speaking, it pays to nave a care about the company young
 couples keep. Instead of dressing anu furnishing as some one else does, IL IS better to court the neatneSs ana ap-
 pearances which are to be found vel
 withing their means. It isn't in good form to get credit of the mllkman,
 shoemaker and washwoman in order
 to make good advance payment up
 on a pianoforte obtained on the ih-
 stallment plan. Bear in mind that ne
 cessity is the creed of slaves A sur :
 plus is better than insurance for It
 insures respect and all that goes with
 it. Seeming is a weak lubricant; be-
 ing is a solid foundation upon which
 it is safe to rest.
 Next to gun the most perilous
 thing for an amateur to handle IS the
 truth It is not a thing for the ineN-
 perienced to fool with unless it is rec
 ognizable as the denatured variety
 There are truths that are blunt, ana
 somehow the blunt truth often cuts
 deepest. HIS SOuI1CS DtEduOhlScll, pot
 it is true. Some one has asked II
 it is the truth, what does it matter
 who says it?" It doesn't matter. Who
 ever says it will be called liar, or
 get severely knocked. 1 have sought
 the truth and know the truth will set
 me free, but experience has made me
 careful not to be too free with the
 truth Truth may be outraged by si-
 lence but it is often wise to outrage
 it in this way. Any truth which anects
 us materially we are opposed to. We like to have our interests preserved, but
 we don't want our goose cooked. You
 will not find this in the gospels-it is
 in life.
 Andrew Carnegie appears to be of the opinion the heaven presented by modern preachers is placed too far off He thinks the most important text In Scripture is the declaration Heaven is within you and that it is not per sistently enough taught by the pulpit Know thyself' is an equally import ant admonition. A diScordant mind IS what makes of this heaven hell. It is up to man to realize that heaven and harmony are synonymous and that peace abides when the spirit of man senses that it abides with God and God with it. It was Stanford who declared Heaven must be in me be- fore I can be in heaven" or he must make himself heavenly if he hopes tC abide in heaven. Goodness on our part must precede forgiveness on Gods part. Being a mean professional Chris tian and hoping to be forgiven is not a relation to God which will command respect in this world or in the next. The delights of nature and the gar den are not sensed by the sordid There must be something besides vim egar in the heart of man if he ex- poets to keep sweet. Just being pre- served is hardly creditable to an in- 1 tellectual being. We must be kept true to quality as well as true to type We cannot find joy in work if we haven't it in our souls. It is the re- sponses or results we get from devo- tion and effort which grattfy the heart ! It is because man must always be do- ing something to be happy that the ] idler never knows what happiness is The plant as well as the puppy shows its care and training; the bird as wei as the boy bestoWs confidence where goodness and sympathy are manifest The greater the good in us the more there is good in heaven and earth tC contribute to our joy. It is our feeling: which put glow or color upon every | thing we behold. If we feel befogged i our horizon will always be dull anC narrow.
