An Essay on Slips

Slips pillows, banana peels, icy pave
ments, 'twix cups and lips. in memories and on
tongues. Slips on the tongue occur very frequently.
Being without speedometers unrealized speed is
frequently attained without warning. the tongue
skids the truth and brings up in the ditch of
mandacity.
Memories also slip with unpleasing frequency.
On matters pertaining to duty the memory slips as
easily the tiptoeing across wax floor
When slip occurs between a cup and lips, if it
happens that the cup is that cheers it is certain
to happen that the lips lips which do not.
Why careless people should leave the stoff
garments of banana the sidewalk yet remains to
be seen. Also when such people leave them there
they remain to be seen. and they remain to be slip
ped on when they not seen.
Going to bed is slippery performance. We
first slip out of our clothes Next prayer slips from
lips, perhaps it slips mind Then slip
into bed and slip off to sleep with our head on
pillow slip.-The Gmlet

A Man May Be Down But Not Out

man may be down, but he's never out"
What a wonderful message of cheer that one SEN
tence gives to person. To think that no matter
how low a man has fallen there is some chance. To
think that matter what caamities have befallen
person he is not out of it. Walt Mason, by his own
article IN the American magazine ia a good example
of this. Mason poor tramp printer. For years
he travelled the roads drifting from one part of the
country to another. He sure of bed. 1t
is seldom that he of meal for day ahead.
He says, himself, that he never held job long
enough to even suggest permanency He was al
most human derehct, piece of human driftwood.
He down. But his experiences since that
time have adequately proved that he was not out"
Since then he has commercialized the little jinges,
that have always come easy to him. He has taken
to writing for the magazines. He has home-a
family. Walt Mason "down'-but he was never
out" We have doubt that there are other good
examples of this slogan. No doubt there are others
who have been just far down the ladder and
climbed back. What wonderful outlook when we
consider that there is always chance.

Solomon and his Riches

Solomon derived great riches from his CONNER
cia intercourse in partnership with Hiram, King of
Tyre. From Ophri he imported gold. almug trees.
ebony, and precious stones from Tarshish, the
coast of Spain. he brought silver; and from the
coast of Africa, gold. ivory, apes and peacocks.
Thus commercial voyages produced prodigous iu-
fux of wealth. the annual Importation of gold alone
amounting &c .646, $780, and silver it of
estimation and was stones for abundance (Hales
Anal vol. H., p. 1922.
The regal state in which Solomon lived may be
interesting. His provision for one day were thirty
measures of fine -four aud sixty measures of meal,
sixty of fat oxen and twenty oxen out of the pas
lures, and one hundred sheep, besides harts and
bucks and fallow deer. and fatted fowl (Kings iv,
20, 23). This statement may excite surprise, but it
is less astonishing who is acquainted with the
extent and arrangement of the oriental The
daily consumption of provisions in the royal estab-
Ilshment of Cyrus was one thousand bushels of
wheat, the of barley meal four hundred sheep.

Curing Poverty

Only recently talking with a man who
but few years since so poor that he and his
family were reduced diet of bread and crackers
without butter. They couldn't pay even the cheap
est or buy themselves comfortable clothing In
fact. they were rapidly heading toward the ranks of
the down and outs' Today they are living in lux
ury, in a sumptuous hotel. They own a beautiful
car. and have everything that makes life comfort
able and attractive They are not the same people
who but a comparatively short time ago were in
condition of semi starvation.
Did some one leave them fortune or did they
find them gold mine?' you ask. And answer
Yes. they found gold mine, but it was in their
minds" They simply realized that their power
ty was of their own making that the cause of their
miserable condition entirely meutal Some one
had explained to them the principals of the law of
opulence. and they at began put it oper-
alton. They turned their backs on their despair en-
viropment and resolved that. matter what apear-
ances were, they would face the light and struggle
toward it. Hope and ambition we're born in them
again. They went confidently into undertakings they
would not have dared to attempt before they looked
up thought up, worked up. and result they be-
gan in very short time to attract better things
If all the poverty stricken people in the world
today would quit thinking of poverty, quit dwelling
on it, worrying about it and fearing it, if they would
wipe the poverty thought of their minds if they
would cut off mentally all relations with poverty and
substitute the opulent thought the prosperity
thought. the mental attitude that faces toward pros
perty like this man and his family, they would soon
begin to change conditions. 1t is the dwelling on
the thing. fearing it, the worrying about it, the
ety about it, the terror of it, that attracts us to
and attracts it us. We cut off our supply current
and establish relations with want, with poverty
stricken conditions

Mems Heads Bigger?

Not by way of complaint, but merely an
nouncement of fact, comes the report that mems
heads are bigger than few years ago. 1t does not
signify growing conceit. Mere man has had little
occasion recently for esteeming himself too highly.
Certainly he has Jess vanity of sex than in times

report does not come from mothers, wives sweet

EQUALITY, NOT NEUTRALITY
Belgium Has Como Into Her Own
Through Great Valley Of Suffering
Which She Has Passed.

Brussels.-In his address before the
Belgian chamber Of deputies Presi-
dent Wilson said in part:
"The enemy committed many out
RACES in this war. gentlemen, but the
Initial outrage was the fundamental
outrage Of all. They, with insolent
Indifference, violated the sacredness
Of treaties. They. showed that they
did not care for the honor OF any
FHAs:r-Ssh --tiss,-ashts'
not care for the independence Of any
nation, whether 1t had raised its hand
against them or not that they were
ruthless in the determination to have
their whim at their pleasure. There
tore, 1t was the violation Of Belgium
that awakened the world to the reali-
zation of the character Of the strug-
gle.
"A very interesting thing came out
Of that struggle. which seems almost
fn illogical consequence. One Of the
first things that the representatives
Of Belgium said to me after the war
began was that they did not want
their neutrality guaranteed. They did
not want any neutrality. They want
ed equality, not because. as I under
stood them, their neutrality was in
secure, but because their neutrality
put them upon a different basis Of ac-
tion from other peoples.
II honored this instinct in them.
and 1t was for that reason that the
first time that had occasion to speak
of what the war might accomplish for
Belgium. I spoke Of her winning a
place of equality among the nations.
So. Belgium has, so to say, once more
come into her own through this deep
valley Of suffering through which she
has gone.
mot only that but her cause has
linked the governments Of the civiliz-
ed world together as IL instinctively
into a league Of might. They have
put the whole power Of organized
manhood behind this conception Of
justice which is common to mankind.
