'Sensitiveness is se.f-conceit with a

spoke upon the necessity of men in love
forbearing one another in all walks of
social life.
I'VE must phil together. even if We
cannot use our own stroke" he urged.
Team work in any endeavor is what
counts. and it may surprise US to see
how well the other fellows stroke
works.
Mr.. Spicer used Paul's strong simile of
human society fitting and working to-
Sether as the parts of the human body.
"Big-hearted men can both disagree and
tie friends" said he, and he told of often
seeing Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Baifour go
out of the house Of parliament arm In
arm after one of their most furious de-
bates.
The Importance of order and govern
nent. he said, was forced on his mind
during his stay as missionary in India.
There 10000, 900 men who would be glad
to rise in revolt any tine are held in
check by fifty or seventy-five thousand
organized troops.

said, land leaders should be respected.
