THE MAN WHO TALKS


 Kingsley. there is nothing more won derful than booki" The truth of this is recognized by those who use books either for entertainment or improve makes the most of books, but the best thinker. Those are wonderful. booi1s which stimulate the noblest thoughts and prompt one to assume unselfish tasks as we'll as those which make one familiar with the laws which keep mer and governments honest and just; and what of those which implant in our hearts phrases which comfort us. and songs in our hearts which make us glad? Reading is a means of self instruction and self entertainment nc one can afford to miss. Few books are so poor that something good may not
 How easy it sis to censure others. This is a free field for all the world and most people make the most of it's opportunities. None of us are walking our parts better than we are acting them. You cannot escape censure if you amount to anything; and you do not wish to if you are wise, for con- demnation from some quarters is sex- torted praise. In censure people find your measure, not that of your op- ponents' Most people, like the par rot talk too much. It is the un- spoken word that does no harm And silence safeguards ignorance and masks it with the look of wis dom. Look out for your incfina- tionsi U.
 Cares are just as natural to man as freckles and diSf1gure- him worse if he will let them. The man who knows how to deal with care never takes 1t home with him., and is aware it never was designed for picnics or to be taken to bed. Mans cares are not more than half as serious as he makes them ap- pear; and they can never become more burdensome than he will let them. Care is own cousin to Worry. and both are bad company when freely In- dulged. Do not forget "every day has it's cares and every care it's day" It is let care wear you out!
 The gold finches did not arrive until after July 4th this year because of the absence of bachelors buttons. upon the seed of which they feed in June. They have come to inspect the sunf1owers. for these birds know enough about botany to get the outer row of seeds the moment they are ripe. and know as well as I do that the sunf1ower seeds ripen from the outside row in toward the center and they will be con stant visitors until the frost makes an end of the supply. While the gold hncheS sometimes mate and nest in. May, they generally do their breeding so late that the young are not fully fedSed until late September. I have seen them feeding their young on the sunfiowers as-1ate as October.
 Have' you ever thought The does not believe that does not live accord ing to his belief" A true heart regu- lates life. and a false heart makes it zigzag. Our true character is reveal ed more bX acts than by words. The keen-eyed do not have to ask, what we are speaks for itself. Ut is. ai- ways safe to suspect people who are always talking ,,of their piety. or pua ity. or honesty, These qualities are their own advertisers. They are seen at their best in personal conduct. and there speak most simpressively- Speech can neither infiate a good nor bad life, for conduct more ex- actly expresses both. We are com pelled to live by our convictions. or lack of them.
 The birds day is really from dawn until men begin to prowl about. but now they do love an overcast day when the world is quieter and they enjoy larger freedom for twice the hours of the hot day While we only get three per cent of the suns heat Nature finds it necessary Ito screen Ter work nearly two thirds of the ime, for there are not more than 100 lays man has called perfect, ,althoug he two hundred or more pFotective lays represent Gods wisdom. assure he crops and. preserve life, and are no ess perfect than all the others. There
 
 birds on overcast than there is on lear days. and much more enjoyment.
 Have you ever thought the most delightful place in your life and mine should be the mind; and that We are rec to make it the most miserable. There is divine law by which the hind becomes the more narrow and ,ruel as the soul becomes corrupt. It S Good and Evil trying to dwell to- ;ether- in the mind that~'produces the The halfway house in life s a place of peril. Weak minds mag turmoil. and change home to hell, The mind is the testings center for he human soul. and what you are apable of is determined by what you make of it and let it make of YOU!
 The angel of peace finds more fa- nents. Governments since the begin ling of time have fostered conditions which breed war from selfish pur- 'oses: and to try to correct the habit " fear and force does not seem to be good founda> for hope. When 'eace spoke to the world it said Love ye one another," This is the ondition of abiding peace. and there s no other. A peace which abides in ear is only force abiding an oppor- nan who is willing to barter every hing for peace. but truth, Permanent 'eace cannot be secured by a majority f men or of nations. because majori- ies are not permanent. Being. perma- iently heavily taxed is not the way o national content but leadS away rom it.
