PSYCHOLOGY FOR CLERGY

There 10 an increasing agitation

that those who are advocating the

the latter kind. II they were sin

THE AGE OF BRASS
eV DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1916, by Frank Crane,
What are we coming tot

Are We bound for the Age OF Brass?
Are we insisting more and more upon
Cheek, in one way or another, as the
best thing in life? So that by and by
the checklist, most self-assertive, thick
est-skinned and non-sensitive shall be
the chiefest among us?
1t looks that way bit.
In the first place, this is the era Of
the Advertiser. Our Magnificent Ones
are they that advertise. Theirs are the
prizes of life. They are the new aristoc-
racy.
In the suburbs yonder castle, that
cost million dollars and is crowded with
art furniture and genuine Eye-talian
paintings, belongs to the Stomach Bit
ters man.
That million dollar yacht, just steam
ing out of the harbor for trip around
the world, is the Soap Kings.
The Breakfast Food man travels by
special train, the Cough Syrup mag
mates wife can hardly bear up under
her weight Of pearls and the porch OF
the forty million dollar winter resort
is occupied wholly by the Mighty Men
who make their way by displaying along
the banks of every river, on the right OF
way of every railroad, and in the electric
lights of every city street, the merits Of
Cigarettes. Sewing Machines, Ready
Made Clothes, Hams and Chewing Gun.
The Monthly Magazine and the Week
lily furnish us our literature, but it is by
grace of the advertiser. We cannot get
our essays on Browning, nor our thrill
ers by Rex Beach or Oppenheim with
out also reading the merits of Suspend
ers, Six Cylinder Motors, and Talking
Machines.
What is the natural consequence?
Will not the youth go in for that line of
andeavor that secures the persimmons?
Yea, verify!
Again, secondly, mark the kind Of
preaching we're getting. | don't mean
! that from the pulpit, which the few
hear, but that in the press, which the
millions read.
What are all the Uplifters shouting?
! Why, don't be afraid to blow our own
horn, dress well and look prosperous, put
| up good front. Keep everlSstingly at
it, thrust your ego to the front, mix,
shake hands, live in an expensive apart
ment, let people know you're alive, push,
horn and jostle and grab, get front
seat and hold it!
It's grand!
But meanwhile, what of that type OF
man that has no ambition but to do his
work well; what of the craftsman who
is all skill and efficiency. but is cursed
with nodesty; what of the thinker who
cares nothing for the prize but only for
the truth; what of the poet who can but
see the vision and lets the hustling pub

can only create and build and do, and
