THE MAN WHO TALKS

source or trouble 10 more than 1t has been an absolute source of comfort Money. is neither to be worshipped nor despised. Love of money is one of the blindest of loves. As a religioiis teach CT John Wesley used to say: Make all you can. save all you can. give ali you can" He who makes money q good servant exeels in wisdom He. who recognizes it as master becomes it's slave. He who has kn income Of millions more ! than he can spend is a menaca to his fellowmen and usually as miserable as the devil can make human being. A. few persons recognize in q tree Gods own architecture; but the many l in. thought never get beyond cIassi- fylng tree as a thing, Instead of q | creature that hunts it's own food has ability to protong it's own life, and to 1 reproduce it's own kind Many a plant l goes long way for sustenanee Flaln-
 marion tells of an old maple tree that was dying upon a wall which sent new 1 roots to new rich earth several feet away and saved it's life. Trees send | their roots deep into the earth for Wa ] ter, and it is recorded of d weeping l willow growing in sand, that it sent
 a root 30 feet to q well to keep it's
 supply of water constant Randge, a l master of chemistry, points out that a tree distinguishes and separates
 substances more definitely and accur- ately than man can, or in other words l is a wonder in chemistry. Have you thought the leaves of a tree 800 years i old are just as green and levy and l beautiful in the spring as when it be-
 gan life.
 We have heard a voice from down I hn q Ia, fA 11f1f l live for himself alone,' Aai we are | living in times when the tact Is 10 be seen with crystalline clearness by all | except the blind-the blindest of whom are those who can see but will not. ! No fool ever becomes great vanity
 and conceit can damn the greatest ac- | ccmplishment "A great man is al
 ways willing to be little" said Finer l son, learns his ignorance, and is 1 cured of the insanity of Honcelt has moderation and real slIill." There are hundreds of millions of people now who are making great sacrifices i that life and liberty may be secure l in the future. and becoming aware that the man in the trench may be a grea ter entity for good than the man rolling in wealth. Manhood is greater than m0ney-always was and always will be. When man gets his values right and keeps them right, the world will be right and give pleasure 10 ev- cry human soul.
 Aren't the American rUklic having
 a trying time with the names of these i French towns? It has taken the peo- pie q long time to see in Ypres
 "Eepres::" and who really planes Tom my Atkins for calling it Wipers! The French is difficult because of it's nasal
 requirements; and other people do
 not know how to be nose gay. A col lege man writing te hoston friend
 warned him of the danger of attempt ing to enunaiate that word Rouen
 seen so often in the dispatches, which
 when properly pronounceh sounded as near like "Wah!' as it is possible tc
 get it in English letters What is Ian clfage, but just what the people make it? Taunton spells Warmth iI Massachusetts,: and Cholrnondelav iS nothing but "Chumley'' ever in Eng land Partisan French is the req thing among intellectuals, but
 in Canada or in any of the prov i1ces of France it is not as perfect 2 means of communication as most folkt
 ina zine.
 It is great to feel tha- you are 2 real man or woman in these day!
 when in all nations the real man ant ' the woman can do worl- creditabli , to themselves and beneficial to thei Il fellowInen. We have reached a work , crisis in which work is recognized a
 our salvation There is no menia
 labor in France or England and title, and wealthy women in both countrie l are following the blow and scrubbinI :. floors, in hospitals, Whi'n millionaire are knocking elbows with commoner 7 in the trenches. and are good com I rades. What is man Of leisure com , pared to a man Of work in tEese times , or lndy of refinement when the l preservation and health of free ma tions is calling for all t.la intelligenc l and muscular effort of which any 0 e us are capable; and for S0 hours 0 work a week instead of 4. The me < and women of this day and hour mus D be the real thing to win the approba . ton of their felowmen.
 { Money was never being so lavishl | spent in the world as 1t is bein n spent today, and never spent for
 i better purpose-it Is being put out fo

 'e We all have a hand in making or L. own days. If we get to thinking lii ,- isn't worth living we have a poo
 foundation for every day at the star l. Mind moulds our day, and has powt |. to protect it. If you look at the da 10 to begin with from gray, eyes, yolll is likely to be a gray or gloomy da
