.SELF-SEEkING EVIL
Idea of every Man for Himself"
Denies Great Truth OF Broth
erhood of Man.

There are two spirits pervading hui
man life, the selfseeking and the self
sacrificing.
There is a very old and very plaus-
IDLE maxim which says: Every man
for himself This expresses very
forcibly the religion, If we may so use
the term, of the self-seexing spirit.
1t is bad enough when this spirit
manifests itself in the social and bust
ness affairs of life, but worse when it
manifests itself in the church. 1t de-
MES the great truth of the brotherhood
of man.
1t assumes that man is not his
brothers keeper. The practical out
working of every man for himself"
would make every man a pirate or a
highwaymal.
The rights of others have no signi-
ficance or influence to the man who
applies the rule of every man for
himself"
His, conception Of the relationship
he bears to others is defined in the
thought that it does not matter what
evil happens SO it docs not happen to
him.
SeIf-seeking Spirit Evil.
Unhappily the self-seeking spirit is
not confined to the social and business
life. 1t often manifests itself in the
church. Men seek prominent places
in church organizations for selfish
ends; they strive for high places and
positions Of honor on the principle OF
every man for himself"
The good Of the church or the good
of other men is not the actuating mo-
tive of all who attain high Office in the
temporal kingdom of God Judas was
one of the twelve. He stands as
marked representative of the self-seek-
ing spirit in the church. His thought
was for no man other than himself
All the boundless grace and love of his
master had no weight against the de-
sires for self
The saddest of all the sins and
weakness of human nature is the self
seeking spirit in the church 1t comes
from carrying the theory of every
man for himself from the things OF
the flesh to the things of the spirit.
If the self-seeking spirit tries to
gain positions Of power and influence
in the church militant why not extend
the principle into the church triumph
ant-into the world beyond If it is
good here it is good there. If every
man for himself" is right anywhere 1t
Is right everywhere So If the self
seeking spirit is right in the social and
business life it is right in the church,
and the question of success would de-
pend upon the shrewdness and artful-
ness of management and maneuvering
in the one as it does in the other.

TURN BACK TO THE BIBLE
Where Comfort Still lie Found in
Plenty, as in the Days
Long Past.

Certain of our wise men of TODAY
have shaded away sin till it becomes
an expression of temperament, says
Golfers. They tell US that we sin be-
cause our grandfather sinned and be-
cause our home is situated in the
wrong block. These are clever words
of clever comforters,. and surely they
ought to wipe away forever the tears
from our eyes. But they do not
speak to human need. They leave
the life blighted and the heart
ashamed. They leave the SHINING one
to continue in despair He does not
ask that his sin shall be explained
away. He wishes forgiveness and a
fresh start In the book, which is
not read as once 1t was, there are no
soft words about sin. But the way
out is shown. And not only is forgive
ness offered in this book, but mans
need of comfort is met There is
comfort in plenty. These writer's knew
the human heart. They saw map
broken by his toll and his grief. And
for this, too, they had the answer.
They told of a Being of love, hidden
just back of this rude and temporary
universe. This lave they said, is con-
scious of how the littlest child and the
old man are sick at heart for one to
come close to their loneliness. When
again will any company of writer's
say the things they know in such tell
ing words, such pictures of human life
the boy far away from the faces of
his home and far gone to shame-such
true stories Of lowly devotion break
ing through into beauty? Much is
swept away between us and them,
but not one accent of Naomi's voice is
lost to us, and still the Turn again,
my daughters" is as wistful as when
it preached through the alien corn.
What richer consolation are we hun
CRY for that we turn from Judea? Has
the human heart changed under the
wear of the centuries, SO that sin
no longer seeks forgiveness and grief
has no need Of comforter? Have our
ships sailed 30 far that they have
revealed to us a Drawer continent
than the fields where pain once reign
ed? Is our science SO acute that it
has banished failure from mans life?
Is mans heart at least self-sufficient
and all-sufficing?

CHARM OF RURAL
IRELAND IS GREAT
Traveller Must Leave City of Dub
lin if He Would Really
Know Country.
There the Attractive Characteristics
OF the People Are Portrayed-Songs
and Tales of tine Days When Fac
ton Fighting Was the Fashion.

4 IRELAND has many surprises for the
I traveller whose opinion OF the Irish
has been formed from his visits to the
theater, where Pat" is always dressed
in some impossible style, speak
ing harsh and disagreeable tongue,
and always ready to obtrude his i'm
portance upon the audience. If such
type ever existed, it has left Ireland,
for the brogue of the Irish is pleas
ant diversion to those who visit the
land. There it is recognized as the
accomplishment of those who have
preserved their own native Gaelic
tongue, and who speak it in soft, pleas
ing voices. Perhaps it is because the
other races have generally failed to
understand the people of Ireland that
the Inhabitants of the land, although
cordial, assume a reserve with
strangers. If, however, a tourist
boasts of relationship with one of
their countrymen he is at once taken
into the hearts of the people, who
love to feel a fellowship with their
guests.
The traveller who selects the city
of Dublin for his sightseeing in Ire
land will never feel that he has seen
the land. Excepting the fact that one
hears there the soft, musical voices of
1he people and sees ct the hotels aris-
ocratic old ladies' often wearing long
hite wells extending from the backs
OF their heads to the trails of their
dresses in the style worn by Queen
Victoria, and excepting the fact that
one eats corned beef and cabbage
served at a good class hotel in the
middle of very hot summer and yet
enjoys it, one would hardly realize
that he is in Erin's isle.
Happily for the tourist, st. Patrick's
land is mostly peasant Ireland. In the
rural districts one finds gems of
scenery, and it is there, too, that the
attractive characteristics of the peo-
pie are portrayed. Southern Ireland
is SO poor in farm lands that the trav-
eler wonders how the peasants live,
surrounded in many places by rocks,
heather fields and peat boys, with
here and there only a little patch Of
reclaimed land, where few potatoes
Or some greens may be grown.
Even pigs are scarce. Unless these
little grunters are really kept IN the
parlors of the one or two roomed
cabins, they are noted more for their
absence than by their presence. The
beautiful heather fields Of the island
are snare for the stranger who starts
TO gather bunch of the pretty weeds,
us there is apt to be a particularly
beautiful spray little way of from
the road. But woe unto him who
takes bis first step from the Highway.

cult to get out To attempt to cross
the bog would be serious, and SO the
traveller comes to understand why the
peasants do not clear these fields and
plant crops
Among the peasants there are many
good Irish songs sung and many tales
told of the Gould days when dis
cussions with sticks" were the fash
ion. In few old homes the big, stout
shillelahs which have either lost OF
won battles have been preserved for
generations, descending with their his
tories from oldest son to oldest son.
Few tourists return from Ireland with
out a stout bludgeon, but that is a
souvenir made only for the traveller;
its length is only about one-half that

The United States department of
agriculture is authority for the state
ment that among various causes that
have led to the abandonment Of land
once cultivated there is no doubt that
the greatest single cause has been the
failure to utilize legume crops. With
out the rational use Of legumes in a
rotation, the depletion Of nitrogen and
the consequent falling off in produc!
