THE MAN WHO TALKS

ture, and brain doesn't figure much. Why? Because heart is warm like 1 summer weather and brain cold like ice. The heart feels and is the seat of the emotions. and the brain calcu- lates and is the Kingdom Of selfish ness. When mans heart is in any cause he stands for it at any sac riice; but when his brain directs his action he is pretty sure to ask: heart of a good man has been called the sanctuary of God" Intellect spreads light like the sun when the heart is right. The heart that is not illuminated by spirituality and warm ed by devotion is either worthless or wicked. The heart gives color to our conduct and puts upon our faces the trademark either of goodness or sin
 The starIings are holding their Sep tember conferences preparatory to spreading over the country for new feeding grounds. They have the crews habit Of getting together, and meet at a set hour for a week or ten days. They reach the conference tree in small groups with the regularity of humans attending meeting, and their Uttered discord reminds one 
 How these birds have multiplied and spread since they were introduced from England 30 years ago. While the star ling is new to America there are about forty varieties in Europe-birds of fine .-~plumage and sweet songs. They haunt the neighborhood in which these conventions are held for the en- tire time of meeting, although they must fly many miles away to feed; but they are punctual in arriving at the meeting place before the pro- ceedings commence. How useful the starling is remains yet to be estab lished
 When the assuring words, "Lo, l am With you always" came from the Saviors lips He knew the power and comfort of them, but His followers have never seemed to realize the value of His promises, which are treasures. Of the 261 scriptural names for the Savior I like Friend and Brother best, because they repre- sent closeness and deep personal in terest He spoke of us as His Kind red and He spoke of Himself as our Friend. It was Charles Kingsley. who when asked how he attained such ex- | ceIiencies of character replied: q have a Friend" To. I am with you always!" Herein is disclosed The Comforter and belief in this makes our faith indestructible. A con sciousness of the presence Of Him is 1 an assurance of our own security which reveals to us that our feet are upon rock-that the love and pow i CT of God is our protection. Why dc we not grasp the purpose and mean ing of these words--realize The Pres ence which they make our own? 10 I am with you always!" l The self entertaining child is always
 interesting. When alone he doesn't
 think of himself as being lonely but
 as being busy: and in occupation he 1 finds pleasure. In city a hundred miles from Norwich I saw two boys 1 engaged In play by themselves, ons was in a court where there wero seV- eral other children who did not notice 1 him is he cried: Red gingerbread!

 haven't seen as many hummin

 delicate that the human ear is nc
 attuned to hear them. and only a feS st"leuts have ever been close enoug to discover the fact I could harl believe my own ears when 1 heard on , sing in 1914 after having observe them for a quarter of a century. Ther

 Do you ever think of the whole hr 3 man race as self poisoners? Ever 3 drunkard is a self -poisoner, for ths
 fe. Sro&1 A e Metchinkoff tells us in his works tn; e the great majority of deaths al caused by auto -intoxication-pois
 from the chemical action of the foe we eat. He firmly believed that ma Q should live to be 140 years of age, bl
 through his lack of knowledge he bt S lieved man brought himself to an LII timely death. The fact that in cour
 tries like Greece, where the custom Il to eat only two meals day, there al - three or four times as many center , narians as there are in America ] England where three meals and or q or two luhches are indulged in. A t cording to this you see overeatir = poisons more people than John Earle,
