THE MAN WHO TALKS

like, but he has great difficulty in discovering anything very satis- factory about heaven. But no good thing can be said about hell; and lots of good things have been said of Heaven He who said: Heaven Heavens" must have had a divinely illuminated mind, as well as he who declared: Earth has no sorrow Heaven cannot heal" If it is not the talking but the walking that will bring us to heaven, we better pray that the path of righteousness be lighted for our feet. Hell may be paved with good intentions, but the of Heaven must be the joy of good deeds. The generous who is always just, says Lavater. and the just who is always gen. rous, may unannounced approach the throne of heaven Under this ruling the way is not likely to be. crowded. Loyalty to truth lets a ray of heavenly sunshine into the heart.
 The war has not only wrought the conviction that education alone is not sufficient for a foundation to civil zation, but is confirming it. It is being more and more recognized that the love and fellowship taught by the Savior only are equal to the creation and support of civilization worthy of the name Both culture and Kultur leave. manhood destitute of the greater and nobler qualities, the qualities which will produce har- rnony and stability, through love and singleness of purpose. The civil ization man has set up has been best defined by Bishop Hare who said: f'The ultimate of civilization is toward barbarfsTn," a. definition many times denied. but in the face of present world conditions it seems to be undeniable. It. is men who have failed not the divine philosophy for that cannot fail. It took a Jewish rabbi to prove to d depressed assembly of Christian ministers that the re- ligion of Christ was not a failure, since the fact was it had never been thoroughly tried
 These are true patience test days, and doubtless we shall be very much improved by the experience which they furnish. There is no escape and everybody has to face the music We do not all face them with the same resolution and calmness. But those who realize that impatience is the ruin of strength are holding firm Patience is the tax of purpose and the key to all achievements. It never stands for neutrality, for that is SC closely allied to inertia that is is un- praisewofthy Patience is not only the art of hoping, but the genius, oi attainment. It doesn't pay to worry Everybody should brace upl Buffor supplies us with this bracing thought

 "A traitor is good fruit to han; from the boughs Of the tree 0 liberty" declared an eminent Ameri
 can divine in the dark days of tn
 civil war, and the sentiment founi nationwide endorsement; and tn bedghs of our liberty tree are no les popular among the people today fo such adornment than they were ther We find in Shakespeare that @treasol and murder are ever kept togethe
 as two yoke devils, sworn to either purpose;' and the revelations of to l day are constantly confirming thi ] long recognized truth. It is a pit l the boughs of our liberty tree can
 not adorn itself with this fruit an it is strange the sons of liberty ar found hesitating where they shoul have valiantly and speedily have don their duty. Dryden warns U where trust is greatest, ther 1 treason is in it's most horrid shape. How these old truths fit the preser situation when administrative actio doesn't.
 Have you the bound -to-Wit, spiri It is a good thing to have in time ( peace and time of war. It is some thing everybody. needs all the tim
 and it's absence is a deplorable weak
 ness in these days. Those who al
 bound to win tackle the thing they do not like to do with til same zeal they do work they enjo, It is policy with some people 1

 , Have you noticed what a high O time our good dog Brag has bee
 having: If it was not the fashion all nations to keep such dog s should think we ought to be ashamt f of ourselves. When a gun was d. ! clared to have thrown a shell 62 miles and to have killed the eitizel

 the world had been compelled to a,
 nit that the Impossible had beeon = possible, and good old dog Brag ga = out that we were to have a gun tn , would throw a shell 105 miles. We
 we may have one; but the Austria,
 set the world a good example wh
 they let the big gun introduce itss
