all the lectures delivered in a year,
and there is as much difference in
the cost as there is in the results.
What a queer looking sight it would
be if the lawyer were to take the
criminals place, the preacher the
sinners place, the doctor the IN
valid's place. the laborer the manu-
facturers place. Would all this
make happiness or improve condi-
tons ? Certainly not. 1t would
change individuals but the condi-
tons would be just the same. No,
that is not the idea; let the brains
that produce the lawyer. preacher,
doctor and manufacturer transfer
the same spirit of achievement to
the other fellow for limited time.
Apply it to his environment, make a
C 5mparison for him, be friendly, be
sociable, be willing to help him over
a hard place; give him lift If his
Dad if too heavy. He will apprecl-
ate it Some men are like children;
they are not bad, they need coax
ing. We are all big children at best
and like encouragement. A man
loves his wife and she likes for him
to tell her so once in awhile.
The widow and the orphan re-
ouire sympathy, but there are other
essentials quite as necessary; they
need clothing, food and shelter.
When they were left stranded upon
the mercy Of others it was hard for
them to realize their future and to-
mitigate their sorrows. We have
du v 10 perform anG that duty can
be better understood when we put
ourselves in the other mans place
At this time while we have thou-
sands of our boys (the future hope
of our country in training at the
various camps, do you realize 1.-The
awful sacrifice they are making to =
uphold the pride of our nation! Inc
bows realize this and feel proud of
the distinction. It is all very nice to
sit at our comfortable firesides, SIT
down to a comfortable dinner In a
we'll. APPOINTED home and talk and
read about the herOism of our boys
in the trenches lover there" 1t is
quite another thing to be lodging
bullets and sleeping out OF doors
they are up against the real thing.
we only imagine it. This is why we
are called upon to make the boys as
comfortable as conditions will per-
NIT; and if you do not feel equal to
the task, just put yourself in the
other mans place" and take it from
me you will feel a desire to do your
part willingly, prayerfully and thank
God you are able to do it, and it will
hold good in any walk of life. When
troops are in action, when a man
who is operating gun falls, another
man at once puts himself in his
place" He knows the danger, but
he answers dutys call and puts
himself in the other mans place.
When Lincoln, Garfield and McKln-
lev fell other men put themselves in
their places. The danger ~ S not
any less, the chances were not any
better, but the spirit of activity and
progress that is dominant in every
true American was the incentive
that led to the act and on this is
based the principle Of the good old
u. S. A., known and recognized as
the greatest nation on earth-and
with malice toward none and char
ity for ALL stretches out her protect
ing arms and bids you welcome so
long as you respect her laws. You
are not a stranger within her gates,
the poor and needy, the halt, lame
and blind from war-stricken Europe
find succor under the folds of the
star spangled banner. This is SYM
patty with a substantial backing,
the kind that emanates from the
fact that it does US all good when
we put ourselves in the other mans
place"
Every jury that sits in judgment
on any case, before they can arrive
at verdict, after hearing the evil
dence for and against the accused,
must of necessity put themselves in
the other mans place before they
can render a verdict that will meet
the requirements of the case, and it
is this transfer of thought, together
with a desire to give credit where
credit is due that determines their
decision, and can only be done hon
estIy and humanely when the jury
put themselves in the other mans
place.
