Thoughts
Thoughts are wonderful things.

Thoughts are wonderful things.
They make or break us. 81
They are the dominant factors in our lives.
Most of all, it is the thoughts that lies back in
the subconscous mind that shapes our destiny
Its power cannot be overestimated
1t is what we put into the subconscious mind,
or, rather, what we allow to remain there, that
makes us what we are every day and what we be-
come in character ultimately
What is placed there depends largely upon our
environment-by the thoughts and actions it sug-
gests.
If we are surrounded by objects of beauty and
inspiration; if we hear beautiful music every day;
if we read the best in literature; if we look upon
masterpieces in painting and sculpture, even tho
they be only reproductions; if we associate with
people of high character and ambition, the thots
which lie in our subconscious mind will ever be
exalting and enrolling in their influence.
We are an initiative people, At table we are
prone to order the same food that we see others
eating-to do in every walk in life that which we
see those around us doing We buy articles for ap-
pare and for decoration because we see others have
them.
Fashions are founded on psychological fact
1t enters every realm in life.
The world as a whole is beginning to realize
this and there is growing tendency to place be-
fore people only those things which appeal to the
higher nature, and so build up a. habit of thought
that makes the world bigger and better.
A higher standard in literature, music, and
DRAMA our of living, and even of eating, is
being steadily demanded.
Aesthetics are at last coming into their own.
Thoughts are reflected in the lives and faces of
us all. If we hold good thoughts, we not only
live better and nober lives ourselves, but there is
written in our faces a nobility of character that is
inspirational even to those whom we meet simply
in passing.
Like carrier doves. they bring peace if we give
them the right setting.
They make or break u.s.

To Young Men

That so many men fail to secure lucrative po-
sitions having obtained them fail to retain them
is their own fault nine times out of ten They
imagine it is their misfortune that they do not
possess business turn" that they have not the
aptitude for certain positions, when if they had the
courage to 60 to the bottom of the matter, they
would discover that they themselves are to blame
AS general rule, this class that find it so hard to
retain positions are not so anxious to secure en-
ployment as to draw salary
They do not like to work, and consequently
take no interest in their duties If they should be
so fortunate, through their own efforts or the as
sistance of their friends as to secure satisfactory
place they only do enough to lose their positions
But they want their salary. Employers are sharp
eyed, and rarely detect merit in those they employ.
for if one of their assistants is useful to them.
they are not willing to do without him. They are
ready to pay him what his services are worth. and
anxious to reach that point where they can confide
a share of their responsibilities and cares to his
hands So the secret of success to young men lies
in the virtues of diligence, vigilance and honesty.

Prepare Yourself

You will find plenty of people eager to help
you enjoy life; but you will only find happiness in
being able to do something worth while, alone and
unaided If in the doing of it, you help Others so
much the better. Do not make the mistake, which
has ruined so many men, but prepare yourself for
place in life Whatever you decide to accomp-
lish, do not 60 about it in half hearted way but
give it your undivided attention. Put all other
things out of your lfe except which will help YOU
Make it your ambition to succeed in your chosen
field, to excel, to reach the heights. LongfelIow
gives us the key to success in the lines:
The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight;
But they while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward through the night.
Make your evening both pleasure and pro-
fit by study.
All the famous statesmen, and successful bust
ness men, will tell you that they arrived at the
head of their chosen profession by utilizing every
spare moment they had, in study
Remember that time and patient study only
can yield any great victory. j. j. HILL Thomas
Edison and other great Americans too numerous
to mention, gained wealth and fame, at the same
time they have benefited humanity Hill studying
the Northwest, organized his great railways and
built up the country they traversed Thomas Ed
ison, studying electricity, gave the many inven-
tions which have been boon to mankind And so
the roll goes on.
You may never be noted diplomat soldier.
lawyer, inventor, author, poet painter, banker or
engineer of fame, but you can help the world and
society, by living clean, honest and useful life.
wherein you will have been as great citizen as
ever lived. Prepare yourself for life and be a man
worth while.

feel drawing toward base and ig-
noble actions is enemy to you, and
more pernicious and dangerous
enemy is he because he comes in
the guise of friendship. That per-
son is not worthy the sacred name
Of friend in whose presence you do
not feel edited. AS relationship
below a certain standsrd is enmity,
SO friendship (between the sexes)
may grow in intensity until it merg-
rs into that glorified relationship of
love divine. This is in no sense in
imiCal to our earlier statement that
friendship is sexless and platonic.
Friendship, exalted and pure, must
exist before Loves emissary will
enkindle the divine fire of Hearts
Affection; and while love (conjug-
all is peculiar to. and exercises
radio-activity in, the field of sex, it
does not eliminate the friendly re-
lationship of the persons concerned,
but rather, love is friendship plus
sex affection. we may be friends
and not love, but we cannot love
and not be friends.
Friendship, in value, compared
with the pusillanimous pretences of
self-centered individuals who in
their vain attempt to simulate this
exalted relationship, do but make
open display of a sad lack of even
the rudimentary elements of charac-
ter necessary for the embodiment of
true friendship, is as diamond of
the first water beside manufact-
ured counterfeit.
Friendship is as refreshing as an
exhilirating draught from mountain
spring to the way-worn traveller
who is awearied and thirsty.
The fragrant perfume of friend
ship is as sweet smelling SAVIOUR,
permeating an atmosphere of nox-
ious hypocrisy.
Friendship is as pearl of match
less beauty and great price. amid
paste gems (?) of pretended friend
ship.
Friendship is as the balmy zephyrs
of a summer morn, in enjoyment of
which we forget the bleak and icy
blast of winter.
Friendship is as the Rose of Shar-
on, and the Lily of the Valley, a.
dorning with their beauty land
scape otherwise unsightly because
of a growth of brambles and un-
derbrush.
Friendship is as the ripping
laughter of innocent children, dis
polling, by the light of their joyful
presence, the gloomy shadows of
sorrow from the corridors of men,
DRY.
Friendship is as beautiful flow
er of hope, springing up in the
midst of an arid desert of disap-
pointments and sorrows.
But we must not think of friend
ship in the abstract, and as regards
others, but we should think of 1t III
the concrete sense, and as applied
to ourselves. We should consider
whether or not we are worthy of
anyone entertaining toward us the
exalted sentiments we ascribe to
friendship. One has said that
They who would have friends must
slew themselves friendly" We
would add to this, that we must
have not only the outward SEM
blance of friendship, but we must
also possess the finer qualities of
character that would make US wor-
thy of friendship.
Do we need further proof of the
high calling of friendship? l refer
you to Messiah's words to His dis
clples: L have called you friends
Do we need further proof that gen.
uine friendship is self-sacrifcing?
I quote from the same s0urca-

Ibid.
Oh call it by some better name,
For friendship sounds to cold,
While Love is now worldly
flame,
Whose shrine must be of gold;
And passion. like the sun at noon,
That burns Ger all he sees,
Awhile as warm, will set as soon
Then. call 1t none of these.
Imagine something purer far,
More free from stain of clay
Than Friendship, Love, or Pas
sion are,
Yet human still as they:
And If thy lip, for love like this,
No mortal word can frame.
Go, ask of angels what it is,
And call it by that name!
Thomas Moore.
Sad indeed is the fate of the indi-
vidual who has no friends. If we
have not at least one friend, proven,
tried and true, we will be deprived
of much of the helpfulness and in
splration of existence. The text
book definition of friend is: "One not
lnimical or hostile; one not foe or
an enemy, etc." But such cold and
formal definitions fall far short of
conveying the full depth of meaning
of true friendship. A friend is not
only negative i. e.. lacking in all
things which are alien to our
welfare, but he is positive, i. e.,
strongly affirmative of all that makes
for our benefit and happiness. Ii
mere absence of antagonism or en-
nifty constituted friendship, then
the veriest stranger might be term
ed our friend. But this is not true.
for friendship is a well defined at
traction toward, and a particular
and peculiar affection for another
individual.
Friendship in it's highest and
best sense is sexless and platonic.
High qualities of mind and noble
traits of character, together with
congeniality of disposition, draws
two or more persons into the spien-
did relationship of friends regard
less Of sex. When propinquity, OF
sex attraction Is the impelling mo-
tive for the furthering of acquaint-
anceship between the sexes, the re-
lationship of the two or more per-
sons concerned either falls below
the strata of pure and ennobling

illicit relationship. or their relation
ship rises far above the level OF
friendship, and they become citizens
of that blissful kingdom of Hearts

Of the three divisions of affections

fer you to the illustrious example Of
