Somewhere 1 have this story.
A passer-by saw three workmen
cutting stone where a cathedral was
building. He stopped and spoke with
them.
What are you doing" he asked
one.
1T am cutting this stone" was the
answer. Il work four hours in the
morning and four in the afternoon
what are you doing?" inquired the
bystander, turning to the second
workman.
"Mee I'm getting Sc day" was
the reply.
Then the man addressed the third
workman with the same question.
What are you DOING?
The stonecutter looked up and.
pointing to the rising walls OF the
edifice. replied.
'.I am building this cathedral"
All of which goes to show that the
biggest part of your job is how you
look at it.
Everything has lower and an up
per meaning.
1t is not what you have to do; it
is your attitude toward what you
have to do that makes your work
unbearable or delightful.
1 asked a hard working business
man this summer why he did not take
a vacation: why he sent his wife and
family away TO the seaside while he
remained at his desk.
With whimsical smile he said !:
ITO tell the honest truth, / don't go
away on a vacation because l can't
find anything anywhere e.se that IS
as much fun as my business"
Go and read Mark Twains account
of how Tom Sawyer made the other
boys whitewaSh his fence for him
and you'll see what / mean. AS soon
as Tom made the boys look upon
embarrassing fence as fun, as a
privilege as something they would
have to pay for if they wanted a
chance to do it. he was able to sit
by and collect the fees the boys paid
to be allowed in the game.
And do you know that this is the
secret of the wise?
OF the wise and happy.
The secret is that. while it is hard.
sometimes impossible. to change your
job. il is always possible, sometime IS
easy. to change the way you look
At it.
This is the blue bird Maeterlinck
wrote about.
This is the white stone. given to
the elect
This is the password they give you
in the Grand Lodge of the Ancient
Order of Happy Souls.
This it is which is revealed unto
babes and to the simple hearted. and
concealed from the wise and prudent
Pish tush and pooh pooh, you don't
believe it?
OF course not.
You don't belong.

Cooperation of the Young Mems
Christian Association is assimilating
back into civil life the 100000 who

The announcement of such a discovery as
mat OF the plates OF Mormon. and of such an
achievement as the translation of the records
into English, could not fail TO attract the at
tention OF both layman and scholar. But the
announcement was treated with contempt and
vigorous denunciaton.
The reason for this hostile rejection is found
in the fact that Joseph Smith the translator
avowed that he had not accomplished the mar
Vicious work by his own or other human power
alone, but that the resting place of the an,
cient plates had been revealed him by an
angel, who appeared in light and glory and
announced himself the Moroni who
had sealed up and buried the inscribed plates
over fourteen centuries earlier. 4 further cause
for the popular opposition TO the Book of Nor
mon lay in Joseph Smiths solemn Testimony
that he had been empowered to make the
translation through the direct inspiration Of

Such conception WIS wholly opposed by the
illogical theory and chusrhly dogma. And yet,
why in reason should direct revelation from
the heavens be more of AN improbability today
than in the centuries of long ago? Except as
to the extent Of the writing, is the bringing
forth of the Book of Mormon any more of a

NORFOLK. Va, November 15-
North Carolina A and E. defeated the
V. P. l., here this afternoon by the
score Of 3 to o, in a hotly contested
gridiron battle, in which the two clubs
presented impregnable lines, and in
which all attempts at aerial work
were abortive.
Both teams repeatedly tried for field
goals, but without success until
Gurley. of the State eleven. put the
pigskin squarely between the bars
from the 45-yard line, in the fourth
quarter. This lone score was enough
to win the game. Throughout the
contest the victors showed superior
work. registering nine first downs and
several brilliant end runs. Home
wood was the particular star of the
game. Four thousand five hundred
spectators witnessed the game.

TUFTS HOLDS HARVARD

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November is.
Harvard, with many substitutes in
the line, had little difficulty in de-
feating Tufts today. 90 to 0. although
there was no scoring during the first
half. and at the end of the third
period Harvard led only to 0. In
the fourth quarter, however. with
Arnold Horween, who was substituted
for Hamilton, at right halfback, fur
nishing the driving power, Harvard
scored three touchdowns. two of
which were followed by goals
Many fumbles and poor punting
contributed to Tufts defeat. In the
first half Tufts worked several long
forward passes for substantial gains.
but in the second half the Harvard
defense stiffened against this form of
attack.

The first period was scoreless. In the

ball to Cornell's 2-yard line, from
which Hess plunged over for another
