THE MAN WHO TALKS

III W.
TIE MAN WHO TALKS
do not know why some people
think everybody lacks something who
does not see things As they 90 and
reach the same CONCLUSIONS. They
cannot seem to comprehend why their
measure or estimate ct things is not
universal It does not dawn upon
them that without variability life
would be 7nonotenous Ia nature
i there does not appear TO be sameness
/ IN anything but death. The Almighty
never meant thai men should be OF
one mind any more than He meant
one color or all tribes or plants be OF
one form. IL some peoples ideas pre-
vailed there could be no such thing as
an active mind for it Is hfe's differ
ences which contribute to make
thought pir4ted and to lead man to
discover his own faults as well as
i the errors OF others. There will never
be such a thing as a dead level IN
| this world or In eternity, for there is
nothing divine or spiritual In 1t. The
mind into the tide OF progress.
Hoping you will be remembered in
the win of some one is oftener for
lorn hope than anything else. Wait
ing for dead mems shoes 10 no inn
provement upon waiting for sorne-
| thing to turn up. Sach requests are
oftener the price of friendship than
| the evidence OF 1t. It Is real nice of
course to have a windfall, and when
| it hasn't even been thought of it stirs
ones emotions more than il It had
been expected. Expecting material gifts
| is the most disappointing line of
thought one can indulge in. The
best dollar ever seen upon earth Is
| the dollar that has been earned be-
1t is wiser to pray to be shown the
beauty Of nature or the joy Of work
| than to petition the Lord for an eter-
nifty Of iazineSs. Leisure makes peo-
pie as uneasy and tired as work does.
| Without activity we Shoa1d be inert.
This is as true spiritually as physi-
ca1ly. In order to be something we
must do something. Hoping for a
part OF the fruit OF another's success
Is like longing for the pie some one
else is eating.
Il is possible to make goodness
/ wearying to others. The good people
| who let you know they consider them
selves almost good enough to be
| translated as Elijah was, are naus-
eating to better people. They are
never half as good as they think they
i be- If there is one thing above an
other it is. well not to have a con-
ceit about it is goodness. Because
/ Timothy said every creature of God
| is good" we need not swell with pride,
for when an attempt was made to
| fIatter Jesus because of His good
ress, he reminded those about him
There was only One good, our Father in
Heaven. Goodness is not OF this life
alone, but the core of immortality.
One distinguished writer has told us
che that is a good man is three
quarters of els way toward being a
good Christian, wheFesoever he lives
or whatsoever he is called. A Chin
1 csc proveT'b tells US: There are two
perfectly good men: one dead and the
other unborn"
The man with one idea does not
make an agreeable companion or 6
popular conversatfonalist. His tall
becomes as raucus to the ear as uat
| grinding of a file or the sound of {
hammer The expected is all yot
} hear from him. when it is the unex-
) pected which puts most of the thrills
, | into life, and It is the vibrations O
the ether which give as light ant
sight and sound. It is to make a dis
cord of ones self to continually harl
upon one thing, and this is akin II
