Did you ever think when you are yearning for 8 good preacher, that there is nothing the preachers in the pulpits yearn for more than good hearers-hearers capable of under standing what thy say and broad enough to apply the truths uttered to themselves instead of to their neigh bors. It isn't half as important that we. should know when Bill Jones or Mary Marlebone are hit by the Cos pei, as that we should realize when we are ourselves wounded and should apply first aid. The pulpit never has seemed to realize that long sermons do not produce good listeners: and yet, some church people do not think they are getting their moneys worth if the sermon is short. The minister who breaches in blank verse would achieve more by going a-fishing. The truth too hot or facts too prosy, do not fit most congregations. A popular preacher once said of him. self: q always roar when have nothing to say" It has been said: Genius is not essential to good preach ing, but a live man isl" The same may be said with reference to a good nearer

Sunday Morning Talk
1FlsHlN WITH A WORM"

The college professor who took the above title for a delightful essay had found the secret of happy angling He demonstrated that the essence of the sport is not dependent on equip ment. The farmers boy with a bent pin and a freshly cut hickory sap ling may have sometimes to teach the city chap who arrives with his fancy split bamboo pole and his book of flies.
 But, really, the best part of the truth is in it's application. Most of us, if we fish at all, must go "fishin' with a worm" There are plenty of times in life when neither our bait nor tackle is just what could be de- sired but we must use them just the same. An item in the personal phil osophy that most men have built up by middle life is the conviction that ideal conditions do not exist. Such may. possibly, rule in some planet of the Milky Way, but not in that round ball named the earth. The av- craze man ceased to wait for such conditions realizing that he must do his work with faulty tools and under limitations that forbid a perfect prod uct.

The mistake is to imagine that per- formance' must wait on perfect prep- aration. Under that plan most of the great undertakings of history would never have been completed. In how few of the triumphs of the human spirit have perfect conditions prevailed! How often has the hero hewed his way through the battle of life with no assistance whatever from
 the blue blade that the kings son bears" Almost any blunt thing will do, if yielded with resolute purpose.
 Notably is the truth illustrated in the matter of human happiness. At few points do mortals fool them selves more completely than in the notion that elaborate equipment is re- quired. The stream of life must be fished, they assume, with a big and costly outfit. Such experiments might be convincing, but for the fact that most of the fun of the game appears to lie with those who use simpler tackle.
 Children are our great teachers at this point. In the play of normal and unspoiled child one sees, in the finest way, much made out of little. A soap box will do for a chariot; a I saw horse for a charger; bits of cloth raised on sharpened shingles be- come the white sails of an argosy. Here is exhibited gift that any of us may well covet for mature years. 1 Probably parents never do greater violence to young lives than when i they submerge all these imaginativ
 powers under an accumulation of ex- | pensive toys.
 The people most to be pitied are
 those who cannot extract the fun 1 that lies in simple and even in dull l situations. They miss lot of enjoy ment along the way. "Men called Ma
 poleon the UnamuseabIe' Talma
 might play before him, and a pitfu' of kings his vassals form part ot the audience, but the, conqueror ex-
 tracted no gaiety from the perform ance" That is the Nemesis that fol lows a selfish or an unappreciative
 spirit The churI who can enjoy his
 rude possessions is richer than king
 whose magnifcence leaves him only
 with a bored mind.
 The gift of appreciation is one tha is more and more to be priZed witl
 the passage of the years. During thu
 first part of mans career he is les
 dependent on it than later. In earlie
 days, the sights and sounds of eartl
 are apt to be more vivid and inter 1 esting than they come to be in afte times It is when westward of 50, fo instance, that one must give himsel attention, of the latter part if th mortal career is to. be still full o , freshness and benediction. . A habit is suggested, therefore that is worth anybody's cultivation ! It is the habit of making the best ou , of dull situations, of seeing the bes l in indifferent people. of liking "a poo jest better than none" in word o , utilizing to the full all the resource : of any kind that are at hand.
