THE MAN WHO TALKS

Isn't it strange that giving the poor goods does not make them happy, but giving them renumerallFe work does. There Is no pleasure m a feeling of dependence, for that is born of independence. A great ana free people should take no pride In coddling poverty when duty caLs 1oL it's abatement. Underpa1d WoTkmen overdressed. Want is a specter to haunt greed-to remind 1t that Dlves lived and passed-then shrteked Tor 8 drop of cold water for his parCneo tongue. It makes no difference now great or good a system of employment or goyernment pretends to be if it Is creating beggaTS in ever increasing numbers, for there is something wrong about it. Poverty can never become anything less than pernicious. The poor will be always with us through misfortune; but it is shame to have them with us because Of our avarice. The man who works Tor what he gets feels better than the man who whines for It. Dole crushes self respect-delving adds strength to strength and makes of men brethen.
 We may be helps or hindrances in life. and what are we? You and l must settle this question for our selves because no one else can settle it for us You have not got to be
  even a poor invalid or cripple may De helpful, and how many a one because of a patient, cheeful spirit has been missed and mourned. There are so many ways of being helpful-money or clothing to the needy poor, da1nties to the needy invalid or cheerful words clever stories, bright memories to the unfortunate-the pleasant word in the family, the cordial greeting to our neighbors the word in time to the radiation of good cheer if you have 1t. Any ana all gcod things are helpful 1T passed around. It is helpful to you and l to be thinking of the welfare of others rather than to be everlastingly cater ing to our own selfishness-to be bracing up our narrowness with an abutment wall, as it were. The way of helpfulness is the way of self help-to raise another in spirits is to raise ones self.
 am inclined to think frmness in application to persons is often over valued and over-praised. In the light of being a rich relation of stubborn ness it may be weighed and found wanting. Firmness may be very serious check to progressiVeness; and yet what is more praiseworthy than firmness In principles of right when one knows he is right? But. alas, so many men think they are right in matters even the multitude condemn! It doesn't do to be too firm lest we be called stubborn and be compared to the mule. It was Lavater who declared The firm without pliancy, and the pliant with out irmness, resemble vessels with out water. and water without ves- sels,'' hence firmness and pliancy ap- pear to be co-ordinates and f1rmness seems to me to be closely related to faith and fidelity You may not think so, but this looks quite true to me: There is no consistency except In consistent change; there is no real stability but progress!" Wisdom beckons us on, warns us not to be tied, and keeps alive in our minds | that the truth will make us free and | that upon us knowledge will confer power.

The man who first voiced the senu- ment Be up and doing" did not mean doing others" Of course, man has been up and doing ever since the dawn of time, or the race would not today have been flying through space at the rate of 100 miles an hour, or sending wireless despatches across the oceans. But to be up and doing others does not seem to be so very modern. Doing up others had be- come so popular in Alexander the Greats day that he did up the na
 tions of earth and wept because there were no more worlds to conquer. This of course was a mistake since the astronomers assure us there are millions of worlds in space. It must have been because of the eagerness of men to be up and doing that pro- duced the conditions which made a new Golden Rule necessary: him quick: or he'll do you!" This has become such a principle of business that we find those who do the least beneficial work in this world make the most money. l am aware that in a general way Eve is blamed for it. but I have not been able to connect it with the Garden of Eden. In the game of life the cupidity of man seems to be accountable for the fact that Paradise is still a dream.

The finest work done in this world is not done in the shops and factories or the marts of trade, or in the schools or institution of men. Life must have a foundation and every individ- ual must build his own according to his views; hence, human life is often seen looming upon a poor foundation because it has not the support of a good character. The building of a good character is the finest work that can be done by man for it is more than riches, fame or ephemeral power To be a true man is to be a recognized son of God. Man born into life with the power to make of it something noble and beautiful has ignobIy failed when he has produced something cruel and perhaps hideous. No amount of money, no amount Of power, no amount of fame can cor rect such a fault. Character said Emerson. lis higher than intellect: :" and lack of it is what? Good char acter means right living, dependa- bility, and as Carlyle puts it, some thing to comfort eternity with, Are We true builders?

One of the most expensive habits passed from father and mother to son and daughter.v Growing crochety and finnicky is a bar to thousand good things-a curb to prosperity
 If this habit does not actually shorten life it tends to make life hard and dismal in every direction When it comes to advancement in any call ing or occupation the pessimist or grouch is usually left In the old groove, and the amiable cheery worker who is making for harmony, health and happiness is asked to step up higher, assume larger respeaSi- bilities, take d bigger salary and in crease his usefulness-to widen his zone of Influence and comfort Com plaining makes bores of efficent work men.

The Alabama Educational association which will meet in Birmingham, April s-1l inclusive, is expected to assemble the largest body of educators ever gath cred in Alabama. This will be the thirty third annual convention. Birmingham has been selected for a dozen or more of these meetings, while last year the teach CTS met in Montgomery and three years ago in Mobile. The question of making Birmingham permanent headquarters has been considered, but it has been decided 10 continue the plan of meeting in diff ferent cities Each of the three con- vention cities has it's particular attrac- tions and invites the teachers for the sessions of the educational association and for a delightful pre-Easter visit as well. The beautiful Easter services of the city churches are a pleasant closing of the stay of those who remain after the convention closes on Saturday at noon.

 For sometime there have been depart ments for the music teachers manual art teachers, primary and kindergarten teachers, county superintendents, city prlnclpals, normal schools and upper ele- mentary grades.
