Lecture Last Night.
NO matter what a mans occupa-
ton may be, no matter how high or
how low, if it be honest toll. he can
build manhood out Of labor"
This was the statement of Sylvester
A. Long in his lecture on Hungry
People" at the first evenings session
of the Chautauqua last night. Every
man feels hunger, the hunger of some
thing bigger and better" he said.
The speaker declared that the hun
gers were the real desires. vital and
intense. that every individual feels in
his life struggle. Mr.. Long said in
part:
1--WE always want something, there
is always some unsatisfied element in
our nature, some hunger that de-
mands appeasement. The question is
what hunger do we satisfy. Hunger
is nothing other than desire, and de-
sire is the only scientific evidence Of
the mortality Of man. Along with
the desire is the ideal. The two go
hand in hand. Ii is the ideal that
counts Where there are no ideals
.here are no hungers, no dreams of
betterment or advancement, whether
is be business or mode of living.
Mans nature is naturally on the
move, his ideals are going either up
or down. \ man always rises ana
falls to meet the levels of his dreams
his hungerings.
Men Must Yearn.
THE good things a man does come
from his yearnings, his hungerings,
his desires. Every element in our
daily life. community building. art,
pOlitics-all are little else but the
children of great hungers.
I'VE turn next 70 the great physical
changes in our life. Our restlessn ess
is a sign of a growth within, an eX-
pansion and development of our con-
! sciousness. But we must remember
that more depends on ourselves than
on other people. We cannot become
men and women of great strength by
! depending upon someone else 10 do a
great labor for US. We must do 1t our
selves. We car see only in things
round about us that which we have
actually within Us. There is q chron-
l iC dissatisfaction amongst all classes
of working people with their work.
! 1t ranges from the laborer TO the
clerk. TO the housewife. / talk TO this
man and that woman and hear them
tell me time and time again that there
I IS much OF the undesirable IN their
work They are unSatishCd. yes: but

/ that almost burns out their soul.
I There is no real desire for improve

I they would work for it. The improve
ment must come from within thcm-
] selves not outside. They must realize
I that they are vital factors in the work
/ that they are carrying on.
What a man is depends on what

narrow limit OF your own desires. The
man who would achieve is he only

Lack Self Reliance
we have said that what a man Is

much he wants il. We must now de

sires- But our fault in this direction
\ IS that we would crafty these desires

secondly, we would crafty other peo-
\ pies desires as we would crafty our
own.
