The Man With a Crouch

The man who is perpetual crouch is
often surprised because he finds it reflected
in those he meets. Just think of the time
when everything seems to go wrong those
days when one is accused of having got out
of the bed on the wrong side, aud it some
times actually starts there. You step on a
collar button, jump and hit your knee a.
gainst the bed and finally get into an argu-
ment with rocking chair. This of course
does not put you in the proper trim to find
your shirt torn after you get it on, and
your shoelaces in state of collapse Every
thing you touch seems to go wrong. You
miss your car, drop your car fare, get your
neighbours newspaper in your eye, and a
fat woman walks on your feet. Sometimes
this list of misfortunes may last all day.
Did it ever occur to you that you, your
self were responsible for the greater meas
ure of it. Instead of losing your temper
in the first place and getting your nerves
unstrung, you could avoid the resulting ills.
You will always find something to laugh at;
if all else fails, laugh at yourself.-Ex.

An Up-to-dAte Signpost

however, it is different matter. The
stranger is told that this great plain has
been selected as the ground over which the
English army tests and maneuvers its flying

The Practice of SeIf.Control

The holy men OF India train themselves
in such fashion that they can endure with
out change of feature, pain that would
call forth from European, shrieks of suf-
fering. That is one kind of self-controI.
and admirable as far as it goes, though un-
necessary. For the tortures thus endured
without complaint are for the most part
self-inficted.
There are other vexations it is far more
important to learn to bear with equanimitv.
There are some people who in the face of
certain annoyances promptly lose their
tempers. If they are treated rudelv. thew
at once fly into rage. They have no self
control when it comes to enduring the uo-
kindness of friend or the discourtesv of
an acquaintance. If they do not give wav
to anger, they yield to melancholy.
Most Of us need more of the self-control
of the Indian stole, not in the endurance Of
physical pain SO much as in meeting the
inevitable vexations of life with dignity and
serenity. -Ex.

Look Again

l doubt not that there are very many to
whom, as they look drought the year, it
seems like some old cathedral that once was
resonant with music and radiant with altar
fires and filled with the glory Of God, but
that now stands with the root broken in,
with the windows out with the altar desol-
ate, with the priest gone. Turn back and
see if there has been nothing in the year
but the transient. Although individual
histories and experience and feelings have
been fuctuating and changing, yet the
great framework of Gods purposes of
mercy and love and justice and humanity
has stood sure and is unchanged and un-
changeable. -Beecher.

AT RANDOM
From oar exchanges
Opposition

Opposition is an Unreasonable help to
man. it is one of the world greatest boons
to human success known. AS the kite
rises against, and not with the wind, so the
resistance of opposition will bear man up
to the higher and grander realms of life.
A head wind is better than no breeze at
all. In sail-boat no man ever reached
his destination in a dead calm. Nor have
men gained success without their storms.
Great characters have been moulded by
virtue of great opposition. Then let us
not despair because we are confronted by
this imaginary obstacle. 1t is not an en-
envy. but a friend. Severe opposition is
what man needs if he would amount to
something. Without it his life is blank.
Hardship and self-denial and sacrifice con-
stitute the soil from which manhood and
self-reliance are developed. He who can
not endure the storms of life without finch
ing and stem the tide Prometheus-like,
without murmuring, will never see the sun
at high twelve; and when he lies down to-
ward the west, he will be overlooked and
forgotten! But he who forces himself a.
gainst the blowing winds with tranquil
mind. steady balance, and cheerful
heart will reach his goal in triumph, and
leave the world the better for his brief vis-
it and efort.-Exchsnge.

New Year Hope

When earth is hushed and her drape of

Rest Der our cot, the souls new fount of
light
In conscious thought when reason is most
rife,
The better self doth see that coarser life.
And through the mystic night we trace
once more
Ger the highways since first we left her
door,
Here, the road that led to that motley
throng,
There, was the road too steep but filled
with song.
o gentle night, blot out this scene of day
Where truth is pain, and let me see the
Where may climb, onward 'bove that
dark throng
Where vice is king, and to take roads
strewn with song.
o hold kind night these visions where
pure seeds
Has served the soul, wrought by some
kindly deed,
Kindle the spark, long smothered in it's
tombs,
Let it know of the light, to wake and
bloom.
And ere you close kind night, these lids in
sleep,
Loves inpiration for dreams give to keep
This coarser life, let it wake like the fawn
To live Alright each day and see new dawn

For the man who lost shall be glad at

But save it is truly won
You will hate the thing when the crowds

For it stands false deed done;

At the price of knowing down in your

That your glory is all lie."
