Quality Counts
ny THE REV. CHARLES STERILE

The value Of your life is measured not by its
length but by it's quality.
II isn't a question OF how long you stay above
the ground but how much you actually live before
you put into the ground.
Sometimes a single day means moro to you than
a full year of average life. You lived more that
day than all the OF the 3si combined
Therefore. to say that you so years old. may
very little Somebody else who has seen
only half your number of years. may have actually
lived twice long YOU.
II Is probably that of lives
must be taken up with things that are merely
dishes to be washed. the same
clothes 10 be mcndod. the floors to be swept,
the furniture to be busted, the same machine
be run. the goods TO be sold, the peo.
pic to be dealt with.
But these duties do not take all of our time
II they do, there's something fundamentally wrong
with your system with your job, and II should
be promptly remedied.
It's what we do with the margin of time--the
time that Is actually own when the duties of
the day done-that determines how much we
actually live. IL is during this period that we have
our best chance TO change and develop the quality
Of lives
II is during this period that men differ most
when their real selves brought into the open
You need grow in ways II your life is
TO be enriched. Yesterdays sunshine and nourish.
ment will not be sufficient for today.
You need TO take forward step every day. The
past is OF value only as II helps you take the new
step And each step vitalizes and keeps alive
all the good OF the days that are gone

On the ISSUE Of
Hmericonism There Can
De NO Compromise
DetOurS

Copyright, 1919. Dy frank Crane)

His philosophy is good medicine for every
body Don't pity the blind he says
"They don't want your pity and cant use
it,"
81 know that the average conception of
how to treat blind man is to read the
Bible to him and play soft music. We
don't believe that We believe that the
blind are normal human beings who, having
lost one faculty of perception must develop
others"
According to Sir Arthur's point of view,
happiness does not come from accommodating
things or leading comfortable existence;
neither does it come from any self-giyen
order TO be "glad." Happiness comes from
doing, from the forthputting of ones
creative faculties; he who has learned this
needs no mans pity.
The only real tragedy of life is inhibition,
paralysis by encouragement or fear.
The man who has lost his sight. the king
who has lost his throne, the child who has
broken her tea set, or the woman who has
lost her love. are apt TO be panieky.
But the triumph of life consists in de-
feating defeat.
What the blind can do, you can do, O.,
Down-and-Outer. Buck up. Make the
detour.

When you are out automobiling and come
to a detour you don't sit down and cry or
wait for somebody TO come along and take
you to an asylum. You make the detour
and rather enjoy the adventure.
Life is full of detours, necessary but UNI
expected and unwanted new roads. Those
who arrive at contentment must follow
many a by-path.
Sir Arthur Pierson. the great English
publisher, was the proprietor of five big
English dailies and a string of magazines
thruout Great Britain. In the prime of
life, in the midst of a career Of wealth and
power. he mysteriousy lost his sight. The
greatest specialists could do nothing. This
man in the thick OF myriad activities was
suddenly condemned by fate TO spend the
rest of his days in darkness.
He had come to n detour. He took it
like good motorist He had not lost his
nerve. he said he had simply lost his optic
nerve.
He sold his papers and devoted himself
TO the business of showing the blind how
TO get on. lie became the head of st.
Dunstan's Hostel for Blinded Soldiers and
Sailors in Regents park, London. There
he taught the gospel of happy detours.

Argentine Harbor Strike just Where

Buenos Aires. April 9.--The owners
of coastwise shipping refuse to work
their vessels under government su-
pervision, in spite Of the admins
trations threat to prohibit the use
of the Argentine flag on their ships.
The owners met today and voted not
to oppose the wage demands of the
men if the latter will accept the own
ers' claim to the right to employ
whom they wish and, in addition,
pledge themselves not TO declare boy
colts. This action leaves the conflict
where it began three months ago.
Farmers are striking and demand
the suspension Of rent contracts for
one year, moratorium until crops
are sold and loans which will be de-
pendent upon the amount OF corn
raised. A reduction of twenty per
cent in the rent rates on farm lana
is also demanded.
