Too many men who can't pay prom tse to pay. hence the saying that to get into debt is an easy way to become a liar. As a man in a hole cannot see the light, this is not so very surpris- ing. Those who pray daily not to be led into temptation should keep out of the hole. A creditor, like a habit, is liable to become a bad master. It is the part of folly to borrow money, or ask credit, because of expectations. Business must be based upon a reality rather than a hope, to bring satisfac- tory results. Good principles will es- tablish credit for you, but it takes hard work and good money to sustain it. Men who have you in their debt would hold you in higher esteem if you de- pended less on their confidence. You know the difference between deficit and surplus. Then be surplus, not a defcit-rsurplus roosts high, while deficit sings low. Since the days of Poor Richard Pay as you go' has lost none of it's force. This has not to take a second seat to radium for continu- ous and dependable vitality.

A great many of US make sthe mis- take of thinking the world does not understand us when our trouble lies Principally in the fact that we do not understand the world. The greatest study for man is man. If we do not in some measure understand our feI- lownaen how can we become capable of realizing that they do not understand us? IT we bank on wrong conclusions We are liable to find ourselves in con fusion. The thought we are naisun- dersteed is good only to suppress for it is likely to make us victims of our own copceit. If the world doesn't un- derstand you or I. It is our duty to see that it does if we have the power to elueidate ourselves. There is no satis- faction in sitting down and hugging our conceit in the misty nowhere if we ever expect to get somewhere. We are all more of less given to illusions and 1t is a real accomplishment to know when to break away. We are apt to misunderstood ourselves thrice where the world misunderstands us once.

There is book out on ssThe Heart of the War" when it is difficult to recognize there is anything more in war than sorrow where the heart ought to be. The author says: t7Ye see slaughter, speiiation, brutality, widespreading misery, and we cry: 70 Lord! how long? Not less surely. however, not less determineaiy, and with consequences that are even more far-rea1hing, there is war of ideas, Of principles, of motives and purg poses, of spiritual forces both good and evil, that is shaking our mental world to its depths" Verify, what less can be said Of labor conflicts. bread riots, or organized violence of any sort Why sbould we endeavor to make out a Divine purpose in war rather than In any other TOW, wherein we see the forces Of evil hurting themselves against 'tthe law Of love as established and personified by the Prince of Peace" Doesn't wrong of every sort proceed from selfish purpose against the law of love? What can the reac- ton be but a recognition Of the truer and more blessed principles Rof life? The heart of the war is not the heart of righteousness.

THE MAN WHO TALKS.

The fact that the man who lives right for this world is living right for the next ought to prompt us all to try to do as we would be done by. Horace Greeley was a man who en- tertained no counsel who would ad- wise him how to live for the next world, hence he always said to them: 'tOne world at a time, gentlemen, one
 world at a time There is a great deal of confusion wrought by we'll n1Bauing men who persist in preaching what is necessary for life in another world, while they forget word pie- lures of duty are as nothing com pared to a good living example. The man who builds 8 spite fence ten feet high between himself and his -neigl1bor has erected Q fence between himself and hiss Savior. The man who thinks he can worship sincerely in such a mood has a queer conception Of his relation to the Divine One. Too many men have the courage to make a cloak of religion and think they are get ting into the game" when they are getting out of it. If right living was a parade Eaany who take pride in their pfety would be all right.
 The professional army is a relic Of mans crookedness in the misty ages Of the past. It is quite difficult to figure out whether he had his God or his army first. It is a matter of history that man depended upon his army to make an end of the Saviour. It has 8 positive record against Di- vine Love, and stands today as an as-i founding example of the bad habits of man when the earth was young and man believed might was right, and that the highest heavenly rewards went to the siayers of men. If the Saviour taught anything positively it was that right was might The world twenty centuries afterwards prefesses to be- Heye it, but the acts of nations openly belle these professions. There is no doubting the majority of the people. pf all nations desire peace, but the ruling forces do not. There have been a few peaee-1oying nations. and war ing nations have made them Eassai states What Is right is still dan gerous because man is neither just nor honest. Those who stand for peace today find 1t necessary to do so with. a revolver in their hip pocket, hence we have the cry Preparedness for war is security for peace.'
