THE MAN WHO TALKS

THE MAN WHO TALKS l 1 There never was a war which so I involved the interests of the working ent conflict of the nations. The German system is one of high ef1- ciency and low wages Germany pays a competent workman $10 a week and he comes to America and is offered | $35 week because he is worth it. Under the Gepman system the people are subjects While under most of the | allied nations they are free citizens. l fighting to crush is the hand of despo- tism, and when that is crushed even the deceived people who are being sacrificed to sustain it will be made dictated by Germany is that it will not assure to the people larger free dom, but will secure for. despots greater power.
 Some one has said: Mature can turn out artists by the basketful; but little more time and trouble go to the making of 8 critic" It is more than likely this sentiment finds ready endorsement by very scholaEy people, and yet, it is an historic fact that there were 1,200 critics following in the path of Homer and yet, among them all there was not one Homer, TOT. could they collectively, measure up to Homer's genius. Edison, the path finder in modern science is proud to be regarded as. one of Naturessar- lists, and all the critics on earth do not equal one Ellison. There is a for diplomats. but history leaves mo doubt they are as a whole of low ef- ficiency. The slowly made critic has not attained the fame awarded the rature-made artist.
 Here is a belated truth just brought out by an English educator: Teach the boy to use his hands and he, will quickly learn to use his brain." The boys and girls of today are left too much to themselves and to idleness. Industry Is the salvation of man. and idieness his damnation. The children who are not put to work at something which requires thought, fidelity and never attain their full power or ca pacity. Work never yet injured man or child, it is overwork which impafrs health and reduces people cto invalid ism. Few people sense how busy hands excite thought. or how closely related hand action and brain-action are in all the serviceable work of life. Teach the children to be use full for it is the sure way to make them thoughtful.
 Have you taken notice of the just sentiments which have come across the Atlantic from England? We have heard from the English press that "the money of the rich should be as SUI bject to conscription as the bodies Of the poor" that the age for equal suffrage has dawned and that the de- mands Of woman must be respected!" nd hot fI.1 io1 ~f +I,;. should be a great university for Eng land through which the whole English people may rise to higher level of learning and culture!" These senti- an equality of purpose worthy of the best thinkers of America. The time has come for the people to realize their power and to use it for them selves instead of maintaining an over bearing autocracy.
 I suppose it is perfectly natural t6 worry, nevertheless if we do not guard ourselves worrying becomes a bad habit. Too much worry is wickedness such~a large part in life that it excites confusion and fear, and worrying naturally follows in Doubts wake. He victimized and he will never accept the fact that doubt is the shadow of truth; he would sooner believe Doubt to be the brother devil of Despair. When Doubt says: Halt" it is not and failure makes us doubt our own ability. Only faith in ones self and God can keep Worry from playing a part in the affairs of the world. Young says. Faith is Reas- on's repose," and those who abide in it have nothing to worry about.
 What is hope if you do not know what you hope for? The man who hopes to get rich has a definite idea and purpose; the person who hopes to achieve fame applies his physical energy to some distinctive endeavor; but most people who claim to have within their hearts a hope of attain ing heaven have no conception of what heaven is like. They never think the purpose of Revelations was to make tangible eternal hope pos sible. St. John beheld the spiritual abode of men which he called the New Jerusalem. city more beautifully adorned than any city of earth, a place our probationary life is prepar- ing us to occupy, a place as real as than them all.
 l wonder why we always refer to eternity as if, like tomorrow, it is al who discovered that no man could pass into eternity. for he was already in it. Eternity is now and ever. Be- ing heirs to eternal or continuous life we must be living in eternity now as much as We ever shall be. Of course, eternity is incomprehensible, no language can define it, for it ap- parently includes all the continuous life in the universe. If new worlds appear and old worlds die, it is not death, but life which is triumphant. If it were not for the quick there would be no dead. Life is the eternal force which is forever forging forward nak- ing new revelations and proclaiming that there is God and a heavenly home.
