ty soon we'll all be playing the "Glad
Came"
It's so simple that it doesn't seem
hardly worth trying but it is the one
and only way to bring about the
..brotherhood of man" that so many
preachers and orators mouth over but
so few people even try to work to-
ward.
The trouble is that most people are
waiting for the other fellow to be
happy first. Most of US want the
world to be made over and then we
know we'll be saved. In the mean
time we just fuss and find fault be-
cause everyone else does. We don't
stop to think that we are the world
or that the Kingdom of God is with
in us, each one of US. All that is
necessary is for each one of US begin
to be what we ought to be and the
world will be made over. If you and
/ wait for the rest, no one will ever
start and We'll continue to live in this
grouchy, wicked old world always. So
let's begin now.-M E. Harrison.

DON'T BE A TIGHTWAD

IF there is anything on earth that
| gives Us 2 longing for eternal rest
= and deep, damp solitude, it is a
man who comes to town or county,
builds up a big paying business, grows
rich and then squats down Oh the
gold like hen on a door knob, and
is too stingy even to let the gravels
grind in his own big gizzard. A real,
genuine 18-karat, stingy selfish man
can't be honest, and if he ever gets
to heaven and has wings, he will fold
them UP and walk for fear he will
ruffle plume or lose tail feather.
The kind of men who build up town
and county and enjoy life and make
the best citizens, are the enterpris-
ing, energetic and liberal men who
believe in living and letting others
live; and who do not, when they get
a dollar, squeeze it till the Goddess
of Liberty feels like she had on a
corset. Such squeezing is what caus-
es hard times and stops the circula-
ton of the American Eagle. If it
were not for our broad-gauged, en-
terprising men it would be impossible
to build up prosperous city.-Ex-
change.

LET'S BE HAPPY

4 WAY from 'war's tumult rude"
"A we have watched the crops
i mature, the harvest gathered
and during the glorius days of our
Indian Summer we are having golden
hours in which to be content and to
thank God for all our blessings and
well being.
What if there was some black rust
and the grain wasn't what 1T ought
to have been? Isn't the price high
and isn't our experience going to
teach US not to depend quite so much
on growing small grain?
What if some of our corn was
drowned out in June? Didn't the rest
of it grow and mature and haven't
we good crop and plenty of show
ears if we only look for them?
What if the hail spoiled little
piece of grain or the wind blew down
building or the Tightening split our
best shade tree or the cholera killed
some of our hogs? If we look we
will find we have some blessings to
offset these seeming disasters.
What if our neighbors borrow and
don't return or disregard our rights
or the city water is hard or the light
ming plant doesn't work or the meat
man sends US tough beef steak? Don't
we know some one who is having q
lot harder time than we are?
Think of cropless, body-strewn,
blood-soaked Europe. Think of the
mangled men, the fatherless children,
the widows. Think of the horror and
agony that have come to people as
much entitled to be happy as we. Isn't
il, all because some one has sinned,
some one has hate instead of love in
his heart?
Did you ever think that if every
one in the world love his neighbors
there would be no hate or sin or war
or suffering or want sorrow. It's
true though, isn't it?
Well, then let's begin. You and |
can't stop that terrible war in Eu-
rope. We can't even make our neigh
borhood peaceful all at once, but we
can begin with just ourselves. We
can begin by overlooking other peo-
Plies mistakes, by looking for the
good in things and in people. It's
here, let's find it.
We can't love people very much
any way we don't, until we know them
Then let's begin by getting acquaint-
ed, by being cheerful, by saying Chow
do you do?" and smiling, by telling
the good things that have happened
I instead of the bad things.
If you and begin doing these
things then our neighbors will like

Book Review by Reader.
Recently these has been added to
the public library q book well worth
the attention of the reading public,
"The Life of Alice Freeman Palmer"
The author, George Palmer, her
husband, in attempting the portrayal
of the life and labors of this woman
of whom President Elliott has said,
"To my mind the career of Mrs. Pal
mer is unmatched by that of any
other American woman" was prompt
ed by three impulses love, desire Of
portraiture and the rights of history.
BY the mingling of these personal,
psychological and social motives Mr..
Palmer has succeeded in giving US
most readable biography.
AS well as giving a vivid and in
teresting picture of her life and per-
sonality the writer touches all phases
of womanhood and writes clearly of
the public causes for which she stood.
Every girl who reads it will re-
ceive inspiration for the future. Ev-
cry woman, added courage for the
problems that confront her-and ev-
cry man added respect for woman's
works.

IF ever the spirit of Christmas was
needed in this world, it is this

Though the European war is four
thousand miles away, it is felt here,
not only in a financial and business
way, but as an actual, horrible, de-
pressing actually.
Men and women GO about their ev-
eryday work much as they do in or
binary times of peace, but in the back
ground is the depressing knowledge
that men are slaughtering each other
on the battlefield of Europe.
"Peace on earth; good will toward
men" May it not be horrible mock
cry this year. In America at least
may the spirit of Christmas be a
reality and not an empty platitude.
Anything that tends to add to this
spirit is a worthy and commendable
undertaking. When no money that
is so terribly needed for the bare
necessities of life in war torn Europe
is to be expended on the enterprise,
it becomes so much mere commend
