Kitcaener's 5 hint in parliament Tuesday
night that the present year may still be

subject of much comment in London to-

That so frightful struggle could con-

one else. Such an utteranee from so
eminent military authority as Lord
Kitchener it was felt, however, could
not be taken lightly.
His lordship did not, indeed, predict
that the war would last three years.
He did, however, refer to plans for con-

Avoid the panic, avoid expert

make it the biggest wheat acreage,

out before the world. The work,
when it is finished, will be simply
the dream incarnated. The whole
process is like the development of
a stalk of corn or the opening of
rosebud. 1t is a little part of the
kingdom of heaven which is always
like the leaven which woman
took and hid in three measures
of meal.
Nature has norm for every
work of her hand. The plan Of all
creation involves preconceived
purpose. That is why all oak trees
have a unity and all roses like
ness to each other. The whole
universe is the realized plan of IN
Infinite Architect.
Effort can move far more swiftly,
and certainly it can move far more
surely, along the track Of pur-
pose; while, if it depends upon it
self for direction, it is apt to fall
fiat and lifeless by the way.
One should settle as early as
possible upon the thing for which
he intends to live and should de-
eide how he can best live for that
thing. He is never ready to pro-
ceed until be has done these two
things. When they are done he
is ready for action. A popular
post card motto puts it thus:
"Hhave a plan, then HUSTLE
A life or any part of a life, when
it is done, should be like a build
ing, which at first was only the
dream of an architect, standing
out in the empty air, but which
gradually shaped itself into a
fuished structure with complete
ness and arrangement which it
received from the dream of the
brain of its creator.-Cialence E.

Having a Plan

Do not think you can live and
work successfully without plain.
It is an impossibility. Nothing
worth while was ever wrought upon
a haphazard basis, and no really
great work ever will be accom-
plished by mere chance. The
best good fortune on earth is the
good fortune of careful plaus and
persistent endeavor.
There are some who emphasize
the plan altogether. To do SO is a
mistake. The plan is necessary
part, but it is not everything. No
amount of planning and no degree
of perfection in ones plans can be
expected to count for anything if
not worked out and realized in the
form of accomplishment.
Then, on the other hand, there
are those who emphasize the prac.
tical effort altogether. This also is
a mistake. No effort is really prac-
tical which depends upon itself
alone and is not directed toward
some definite objective. Time is
spent in vain in efforts to accom-
plished just something and not
some definite end.
All great things in art, science,
institutions, and governments al
ways have had and always must
have their beginning in the hazy
nebula of dreams. Some heart or
brain is touched with the distant
glimpse of a vague idea. Such is
the beginning of inspiration.
Gradually the nebula settles into
shape; the shape becomes an ideal;
the ideal unfolds itself into a plan
and purpose. This is the critical
point where countless splendid
ideas have heen wasted. If the
matter ends here, it might as we'll
have never begun. If, on the
other hand, a ready brain and
pair of ready hands fall to work to
incarnate the dream that has been
given by an unseen hand out from
the vistas of the unknown, in
