SOME THINGS
and OTHER THINGS

When the enemy shall come in like
a food, the Spirit of the Lord shall
lift up a standard against him. lisa
59:19.
Many are the Affections of the
righteous; but the Lord delivereth
him out of them all. Psalm 4:19.
You may think you can get the
best of nature; but, in the run of
years you will find that nature is an
old tyrant and will demand and will
exact respect for her laws.
I have been listening to you. Are
you cracked and warped? How many
screws have worked loose? What
kind Of fuel do you use to get your
force? It must be mighty poor. Your
talk indicates you have dirty spark
plugs, you are missing fire. From
the indications you need overhauling.
"a careful inspection.
was listening to some young men
criticize a certain other young man
of the age. The reason for the
belittling ramarks was their inabil-
ity to keep up. Their capacity was
limited so they joined the mob of
knockers.
The papers now report that Austria
has shot or hanged $4,000 persons
for getting in the way of the govern
ment. 1t is more than likely this gov
eminent will use the FREEING squad to
some extent before another twelve
months rolls around. If reports are
true, some of the shooting will COM
mence near home. The only patriot
ism some men ever get is by having
it shot into them.
Dreamers are those who are not
blindfolded by badges of doubt over
their eyes; are those who can starve
freeze, and hurt but never lose cour-
age. Only towards fail. If your
heart is strong and your ambition is
clean-cut you will reach your
hearts desire.
Today we are seeing empires fall,
forts crumble, rotten nations pass
all old WORKOUT things drop from
times rotten bough-and only the
constructive things of dreamers live
on.
Dream men are the eternal con-
querors- years are their vassals. Did
| you ever count your enemies? The
higher you climb the larger the num-
Der. You hear it said che did not
have an enemy" Well, you may
rest assured he didn't amount to
much.
Have you an ideal, have you pur-
pose in life? You must hurry; you
must remember a spendthrift has nc

Hurry; the clock it ticking off the
hours, and you cannot make up your
losses. Stop your doubling. All am
bition worth the while must have free
play; it cannot work and strike with
bound arms
We want to be fair; but we only
reason from what we know, so we are
more than likely to judge you from
a personal viewpoint. If we cannot
see as far as you do more than like
ly we will sneer at your advanced
ideas. Where we come up to them

When men get to thinking a few
years ahead of the crowd they place
themselves in a very dangerous posi-
ton. If they are thinking one hun
dred years ahead of the crowd it i
ten to one they will have to go tt
the stake. The most unhappy mar
in any community is the man who i
thinking ahead of the mob. If yol
are getting above the mud of the or
binary, you may know it by the mu,
flung at you. You remember whe1
you were a boy in swimming an
wanted to go out before the gang
that you were driven into the waite
by the boys fiinging mud upon you
The same rule holds good in socia

It now seems the world became dis
gusted with its efforts, and on Angus

the efforts of the ages. Up to tn
