Lincoln and Emerson Believed in People

The February Woman's Home Com
panion says:
Great men and women, great lives
noble personalities, are always trose
which have wide sense of this fellow
ship, this lovely unity of life; and they
are constantly recognizing it in even the
most unlikely place. 1t was because
Lincoln had such a profound faith in the
possibilities of human nature and
guessed the nobility hidden in the hum
blest lives that he could not endure to
see any life treated as though it were a
cheap or inconsequent or ignoble thing.
II was because of similar faith in the
possibilities of all of us that Emerson
could write as boldly as he lid. 1t was
the fashion in his day for the people to
call themselves miserable sinners as a
mark of virtuous humility; but his large
mind would have none of such unfaith
full, untruthful ways. He was forever
asserting the latent nobility of all men.
You can see his faith in himself and 9th
ers shining and shimmering in his pages.
The 'sky-born music that he hears wher-
ever he goes, the persistency with which
for him, even in the mud and scum of
things, still always, always something
sings-these are but symbols of his mag
nificent faith in the human powers pos
sessed by all of us"

How Lincoln Inspired This Man.

| In an article in the February American
Magazine called what / Have Learned
from Abe Lincoln" writer tells OF
how once when he was discouraged he
got inspiration from Lincolns picture
He says;

looked straight into his eyes, and said:
If you could get away with it, Abe.

darned if / don't believe / can, too. If
you could win out against Seward, I'm
going to beat Stevens, or die in the at
tempt You're my household god from
now on; you've got to pull for me. I'm
going to feel from now on that you're
behind me, doing your darndest to help
another fellow win out
and it almost seemed to me. at the
moment, as though good old Abe were
trying to smile.
Next day | bought two or three books
about Lincoln and began to study him
] discovered that what | had surmised
about the impression he made, on first
meeting, was more than true. When it
came to looking less good than he really
was Lincoln had me beaten forty ways
from Sunday.
I'm the first cabinet of his. the three
most important men each secretly re-
garded him as well-meaning incom-
petent, And each of the three made up
his mind that if the country was to be
saved, he must do it, because simple
Abe never could.
Il have advised Mr.. l.. that | will

of secretary of state. 1t is inevitable

How About Your Orchard !?

The February Farm and Fireside says
Have you some long, strong sunfower
stalks? Ii so. save and store them care
fully and use next year for bean poles
They work well.
IF your orchard, or any part of II, is
old, neglected, and Improbable and be
vond successful renovation. get rid OF it

land that may be put to more profitable
use. Do the job now or else begin on

Don't Enlist Without Thinking.
Where do you fit?
FIND OUT
Then enlist to help win the war.

Where do you fit? Where will YOU be
the most help in winning the war? In
France, perhaps, bearing hardships that
are glory to you, suffering in body and
triumphant in soul. At home, perhaps
carrying on with the little dull things
that few notice unless they are left I'M
done, trying to remember when you re-
sent your own stodgy comfort that it
really does not matter whether you are
comfortable or in pain. The thing that
counts is whether you are putting all
your strength into what you can best do.
Between those two eXtremes-the service
that nobody can help recognizing and
the service that sometimes does not rec
ognize itself-there are hundred kinds
of effort, all needed. A Red Cross work
er in France tells of the women who APP
piled to him for positions pre-
ferred. One had come over because her
husband was monotonously good. An
other because her husband was monoton-
ously bad. A third because her husband
had died and she was lonely. There was
work at home, crying for those women
20 do it-but they were thinking less of
what they could do for France than of
what France could do for them. There
is no room for such slackers in the world
of to day This war is not drug for
sick nerves nor stimulant for jaded
emotions. 1t is the sternest reality the
world has ever seen, because of the is
sues it involves. We need the spirit of
service that is willing and eager to do
those thankless little jobs which are
necessary to the great whole.
In the hospital at Neuilly, there is an
elderly woman in charge of the linen
room. She has drudged there patiently
and faithfully since the war began. The
wondering and admiring pilgrims to the
miracle workers of the wards have moth
ing to do with her. Only go Pau, the
one armed general, when he visits the
