Need of Two Eyes

Because we have two eyes the things we
see seem solid and not fiat, with the result
that we can Judge their distance from lis
with fair correctness. Look through the
window at house across the street with
one eye closed and then with the other eye
closed; the bars of the window frames will
cut across the opposite house in different
places. The two fields seen with the eyes
separately although in the main alike, differ.
When you look at the house with both eyes
open the two fields seen by the two eyes
are combined and the house across the street
assumes depth and relief. Although we see
a house with each eye, we see only one
house with both eyes. This makes the
stereoscope possible-an instrument so de-
signed that the two eyes are made to con-
verge on single point and yet to see two
different pictures. If these two pictures re-
present chair as it would appear to the
right and left eyes, respectively, they are
perceived as one solid object. Popular

We see the languid and the aimless and
the y-going folk, with whom life appears
to be downstream drifting, and out of
our own lives of friction, toll and solitude
and sorrow we envy them. We think bitter
ly OF our lost chances, our assets squandered.
We feel ourselves as able as those who were
preferred; we envy others the mere sleight-
of-hand of fortune that seems to have add
vanced her own spoiled darlings. We try to
look or think behind what we see to the
reasons why they went ahead and we remain
ed cheerlessly in the rear. We look at the
scale of miles on the map and the distance
of our separation from their advancement.
And pray what is the use of that measure
mentl
Perhaps you are in mourning over the mess
of things you have made thus far. Your. life
is at loose ends, you feel, by your habits,
your lack of the winning cards of social
tact, of wit, of all that is assembled in the
vague name of personality" You look
on, half in wonder, half in envy, at those
who shine wherever they are set down, hold
their own when diamond cuts diamond and
take the curtain-calls and the flowers at the
centre of the worlds stage. You look back
and you believe you can see the place where
you got off the track that might have brought
you to the same imposing station. But why
waste time in the post-mortem? The min
ute is here and clamorous; and the future
crowds upon you with its opportunities,
What has been, has been. Many runner,
looking over his shoulder, has lost the race
in the sprint to the tape. 1t avails not to
spend ones breath in long drawn ululations,
throwing dust upon the head over the past,
however displeasing. By those knocks and
bruises. by the times we were flung and rose
smarting, we have learned few things,
though the knowledge came to US in grievous
ways,-Public Ledger.

Make Yourself a Man

When the boy Garfield was asked what
he was going to be, he replied: "First of all,
l must make myself man; if do not sue
coed in that, can succeed in nothing
The future President uttered wisdom worthy
of any sage. Diogenes' lantern search is
continued all over the world, and like him,
the searchers must often say, "I called for
men, not pygmies." would therefore re-
mind all readers that the first requisite
of all education and training should be
man-timber.
If young man starts out with the fixed
determination that every statement he makes
hall be the exact TRUTH. that every promises
he makes shall be redeemed to the letter;
that every appointment shall be kept with
the strictest faithfulness and with full regard
for other men S time; if he holds his reputa-
ton as priceless treasure, feels that the eyes
of the world are upon him, that he must
not deviate hairs breadth from the truth
and right; if he takes such stand at the
outset, he will, like many of our great
merchants of today, come to have almost
unlimited credit and the confidence of all;
and will develop into man-timber.
A sterling character will secure respect
and make its influence felt though its possess
sor lacks culture, talent and property. Elk,

The Turn of the Road

In every mans lifetime there have been
windings and turnings and perplexity of
crossroads, and as he looks over the way he
came he can see many points where, when
he was young, the choice was made for him,
and where, when he was older, he chose for
himself, and an error may have been COM
mitted.
If life were one straight line from start to
finish, predetermined groove from one end
to the other, how easy-and how dull-it
would be!
Again and again it startles US to find we
hold our fate in our own hands. Shall 1, in
loneliness, commit this sin or not? Shall
make stand against my particular besetting
vice or shall give in? Here are two plans
which is wiser? Here are two roads, and
where l would Der If 1 write this letter,
what will be the result? What is the bearing
of this action or his procrastination on my
own fortunes? We ask these questions of
ourselves, and even when there are those who
give US concerned and affectionate counsel,
many times we must fight it out with our
own souls what the answer shall be.
Not once or twice in life, but every little
while we stand at the parting of the ways.
Other human lives surge or ripple toward us
and recede, out of the great deep, as we
stand like children on the shore of the tempo
raj sea. What we viewed as mere casual,
momentary contact may have been crucial,
pivotal to another. For what we said or did
amiss may we be forgiven, with an infinite
pity for our blindness of sight and hardness
of heart.

The Old Book

They are gray with the gray of ages.
Borrowed, and begged, and sold,
Thumb Unmarked of saints and sages
In the scholarly days of old.
Rose leaves prest for lover
Rest in their pages dim,
Though silent centuries cover
All that is left of him.
And feel, in the library's shadow.
With this ghostly company,
The breath of forgotten meadows
And the centuries over me!
And when twilight bells are calling
When the day with its strife is O er-
There are ghostly footsteps falling
Faint on the library floor
Singers and saints and sages-
In the fame of the name we trust,
But this time will cover our pages,
AS even our tombs, with dust,
For here, in the library's shadows,
Where the famed and fameless be,
l roam in forgotten meadows,
With the centuries over me.-Rev
Morgan M. Sheedy.

Locating Icebergs

The captain of an ocean steamer in most
cases finds out when his vessel is approaching
an iceberg from the men down in the engine
room. That sounds queer, but it is a fact
nevertheless. 1t appears that when steam
ship enters water considerably colder than
that through which it has been going its
propeller runs faster. Such water usually
surrounds the vicinage of icebergs for many
miles. When the propeller's action there
fore is accelerated without the steam-power
being increased word is passed up to the
officer on the bridge that icebergs may be
expected, and close lookout for them is
established. There are natural reasons for
the propeller acting in this way, and sea
captains will assert the same thing.-Ex.

Make Him Your Friend
BY Mr.. ]. B.

BY Mr.. ]. B.
Oh amt it great to meet a man,
A fellow with a heart,
Who knows he's not the whole of life,
But just working part.
The fellow who can always find
Unconscious of his Smile)
The better side of frail mankind
And finds it not trial.
The fellow who in rain or shine
Helps fill each passing hour;
Knowing not his ways help show,
The beauty in flower.
Of whom l speak, you need not go
A thousand miles to find,
He's out there on our green ball park
Cheering with all mankind.
Too oft we pass these brothers by
For pleasure taste to goad
But all this seeming JOY is naught
To friendship long life's road.
The fellow who with heart and pulse
And helping hand to lend,
Not caring for the cries of "selt''
Is the one I'd call friend.

What Sort of a Friend

What sort of friend are you?
Do you stick by brothers side,

If you were as sternly tried3
Is there ever pleasure rare
That you willingly go without
To share another care,
And smiingly help him out1
What sort of friend are you?
lust one of the fair kind?
A smile when the skies are blue,
Ahead when he falls behind?
Do you put yourself out at all,
Do you pass up joy that's nigh
To answer a brothers call,
Or selfshly hurry by?
Do you stick when his days are
glum,
As you did when his days were
fair?
When he wishes that you would
come,
Do you eagerly hurry there?
Or do you think of yourself
Each minute the whole day
through,
Of comfort, of fame and pelf?
What sort of friend are youl-Ex.

Count Your Blessings

Count your blessings when you re troubled,
count the joys that you possess
Thank the lucky stars above you that
you re strong;
Just gaze out of your window for an hour
or even less
And count the crippled men that pass
along.
See the tragedy and sorrow that are burden
ing mems lives,
1t will set you to rejoicing if you do,
1t will give you real courage to reflect when
care arrives
Of the many who are far worse off than
you.

Making a Life
You aim to make living?
Aim more to make life,
The two, so oft COMPOUNDED,
Are clearly oft at strife.
A living may be narrow.
A Life must needs be broad.
The one may point to Ego,
The other points to God.
When death, with chilly fingers,
Takes friend from earth's abode,
The world inquiries his Golfers,
The angels ask his good.
A Living may be local.
1t cares not for mankind,
But Life is universal,
By love would all men bind.
You mention earth's great warriors?
You cite nations Kings?
You point to commerce-chambers
To men of wealth and things?
We Judge them by this standard:
Their hearts-now were they true?
True greatness is vicarious,
Strove they for self or you?
lscariot aimed at Living,
His aim was very low;
For wealth, he sold the Savior,
To Mammon low did bow.
But Paul was stronger, nobler.
His honor was not priced;
In this he showed his purpose;
''For me to live is Christ
And thus we see the difference
Tween things we must divide,
A problem for each mortal,
A question to decide.
Young man, have you purpose?
Then aim to make Life;
Constrained by love of Jesus,
Be heroes in the strlfe.-Rev. Byron
Clark.

The Evening Prayer

In the twilight of my days,
In the evening of the years,
Life unto my saddened gaze
Seems vision yelled in tears.
All the knowledge fades away
That l vainly thought to keep;
As little child 1 pray:
Now l lay me down to sleep.
l have wandered far from Thee
Since that childish prayer said,
And the lips that taught it me
Have been gathered to the dead;
Yet her face 1 seem to see
When the evening shadows creep,
And again, as at her knee,
Pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep!
Softly fades the lingering light:
Lo! the last beam leaves the skies;
And l watch. amid the night,
For the evening star to rise.
Far beyond the bounds of space
may drift ere day shall break:
Let me see my mothers face
If die before | wake
Darker grows the gathering gloom,
While my soul its vigil keeps
With the memories that loom .
Up from Life's unsounded deeps.
When upon sunless strand
l shall hear the surges break,
Ere near the Nameless Land,
Pray Thee, Lord my soul 10 take
