ing been compelled toeput back to Hal

Both planes appeared to be in the
pest OF condition upon their arrival,

The NC-1 was sighted about fifteen
minutes before she glided down into
me harbor and a small seaplanc
brought here for weather observation
Work went out TO meet her. The small
plane was compelled to aligit outside
the harbor, however, because OF a
strong wind which the NC-l had COM
Dated all the way from St. Pierre.
The NC came into the harbor from
me east, flying low. After she had
peen moored the aviators boarded the
mine layer Aroostook, where hot

New-York tribune., 1919-05-11

Will not say the audacity. but the
steadiness of purpose which is nee
esSary in such novel circumstances.
And we must not be afraid of new
things, at the same time that we
must not be tolerant of old things.
We must weave out of the old ma
terials the new garments which it is
necessary cnat men should wear.
ut is great privilege if we can do
that kind of thinking for mankind.
human thinking, thinking that is
made up of comprehension of the
needs of mankind. And when think
of mankind | must say | do not al
ways think of well-dressed persons.
Most persons are not we'll dressed.
The heart of the world is under verv
plain jackets.
Heart of World Found
At Simple Firesides
THE heart of the world is at very
simple firesides. The heart of the
world is in very humble circum-
stances, and unless you know the
pressure OF life of the humber
classes you know nothing of life
whatever Unless you know where
the pinch comes you do not know
what the pulse has to stand, you do
not know what strain the muscle has
to bear, You do not know what trial
the nerves have to go through to
hold on
TO hold on where there is no glee
in life is the hard thing. Those of
us who can sit sometimes at leisure
and read pleasant books and think
of the past, the long past, that we
have no part in, and project the long
future, we are not specimens of
mankind. The specimens of man
KIND have not time to do that, and
we must use our leisure when we
have it to feel with them and think
for them, SO that we can translate
their desire into fact, so far as
that is possible, and see that most
complicated and elusive of all things
that we call justice is accomplished.
An easy word to say, and noble
word upon the tongue, but one of the
most difficult enterprises Of the hu-
man spirit!
1T is hard to be just to those with
whom you are intimate; how much
harder it is to conceive the problems
of those with whom you are not IN
innate, and be just to them. To
live and let live, to work for people
and with people, is at the bottom of
the kind of experience which must
underlie justice.
THE sympathy that has the slight
est touch of condescension in it has
no touch Of helpfulness about it. If
you are aware of STOPPING to help
man you cannot help him. You must
realize that he stands on the same
earth with yourself and has heart
like your own, and that you are help
ing him standing on that common
level and using that common impulse
of humanity
