THE MAN WHO TALKS

It has been said that "WhateVefl makes a man a a-.slaHe,s takes ha1fh his worth away" and yet, capital has never really become conscious of this. Labor seems as hard to satisfy as 1 capital; but discontent never increases | the efficiency of the workman. Grinding the face of the poor to ac- cumulate wealth is a crime no earthly I tribunal can excuse; as is the. eXaction 1 of wage scales in excess of what is | fair and profitable. All cooperation must be satisfactorily adjusted. or the | best results never can be attained. There should be no wage slaves, and
 many we know. thinking they are wage lslaves, are ruined by this bad habit of Thought. The equitable adjustment Of affairs between man and man is not leasy of accomplishment, and it is made more difficult by the ignorance of men las to the necessity for it. The worst lslave is the free man who permits himself to be corrupted: | The people who would reform the .k kWorld should bear in mind that; the l world will be reformed when every soul feels the necessity for reforming itself. There is and always has been , too many reformers whose methods !; disclosed that they sadly needed re- , forming themselves. Reformation is
 not a matter of words, but of cerfVic- Il tion and honest action. The refor1ner should be careful that what he. con-
 denns in others is not a fault of his own. Reformation doesn't represent a l miracle, but patient la.bors the roofing l; out of one bad habit after another. The suddenly converted long continue to be bad examples in many respects.
 The quitting of doing evil .4 must be
 closely followed by doing geod to make
 reform complete. There. is no special merit in just being good. for the law
 requires ali of us to be good for ! something!
 When person gets into such | state of depression he wishes he were dead he is dead to all but the adverse mis- !, cries which haunt him. He has become , unconscious of all the blessings of life and non-resistant to the foes possess ing his own mind. It is impossible to yield to adverse thoughts and be happy or to be well, since depression is not ) the road to health Many people get , off the right road in life. and in conse- } quence become invalided The way tc
 become well is to get back into the , fright way. Mans own transgressiof , Of the laws of health knocks him dowr his excesses are always te1lina against his well being, as are his dis : regard of the protests of his own be- , ms. NO one call S5O =lulAiOlILS tiiEOusyI = life and keep vel. There is no mir : acle in these wonderful cures we heal :. lof Those who live right keep right .

 n Tn majority oi people desire parrna-
 lnent peace, and tlley have desired it si : i long that they are almost iTl despair | over the hard cOnditions oE life whici | a selfish and interruptions Einoritl | can create. So long as man is made
 the creature Of government instead o
 government representing the wisdom
 of man. can permanent peace be es
 abolished? The best that can Dc. saii Q of human conflicts is that they includ # all the iniduities known to man; ant ' we all know the great COmmanamant x Love tne lord thy God with all tn, t heart and thy neighbor as myself, T represents divine wisdom. and is tn 8 only oasis fer pelgnaI1eHt peace. = league of nations may be q single ste Il toward the condition hoped for; bu unlil all men accept the truth and hon <, CT it, there can be no end Of war. W ' gre simply crying Peace! Peace! Ii when there is no peace!
