THE MAN WHO TALKS

! WuhSfaHdfrg everything representing | conv enience, comfort or beauty had to be in thought before designed and made in convenient form. Thought is a danger because it is just as much a 1 force for evil as for good Thought I underlies all evil character and crime.
 It is the prompter in cruelty as we'll as in prayer. We are all free to use it, or discard it, and the character of the thoughts we cherish not only de- I velop us, bat write upon our faces what we are, and enables the physiog- nomist to surprise us by his ability to
 read our faults in our faces. Thought
 rules the world, for it is the master of
 individuals the world over.
 Every person in this life dwells under | a shadow of some kind. Perhaps it is the shadow which helps to keep us l sane and makes sympathy for others possible. God knows. nothing needs sunshine all of the time. Where there is the finest vegetation on earth the sun shines about onethird of the time. We cherish the thought of eternal hap
 piness, but we know of nothing good which does not become nenotonous
 after a while. The shadow may be the check, or the protection, we all need to get our balances in life correct, or our complexion perfect. The object
 of the shadow is not to excite gioen, but to check the evil influence of glare. You may have noticed God pronounced
 everything good. but He did not say anything was perfect. If we have a
 care your shadow and mine will not get so dense tho light cannot si1inmer
 through, for He is the Light
 l Among our stock in life are looks and feelings" and we should have 8
 care of both. Looks are not what they
 seem to be, and feelings are as inde-
 pendable as sin. A fife locker is not
 necessarily q fine do-er; and our feel T ings are too closely related to OUT , prejudices, or our preferences, to be } totally unbiased. The dictionary will !, tell you that your feelings and yeur sensibility are related; and further in- vestigation teaches that sensibiHty . creates unhappiness and insensibility
 leads to crime. Some people think
 their face is their fortune but many people have found it to be their mis- l fortune. And the person with daring l eyes is said to be capable of telling downright truths and downright lies < Looks include clothes and features , and glances; and feelings include al
 that is in religion and all that is out side of it. You have got to be the Captain of your soul!
 f gn't it strange how differently mel
 logard their mates? I once read of a, IrishInan who thought lis rife "wa' his full share of the worid!" And theI an English woman felt sHte her hus ] band was Ter share of Heaven i &'any 9 man has had reason to know C his wife was his ''treaslirf!" And Y fear some have raasnn io think O a tGcir chosen 0ue as "a thcrn in th,

 'e What l do every day is much tl1 n same" said writer but what I ti:fn is is different" + there is TO variety is inspiration ia work, there is in tE l. activity of the mind. How nice tn would be if more gencfalIy IrnGerstCo 7 Our movements may he crcrynYcrif,, " and our hands fettered, but our mint T. cannot be. Those who lead hinndru, d' lives do not possess a, knowledge $. their own faculties or powers. L.. to never stands still; things about us al le moving every n1in.Ite. There seems as be no limit to the variety and bcaut , in life. If we have ears and hear nc a' and eyes and see not, we can rnal things seem pretty dtii1 and naonoto, CT ous to ourselves. Our world fig na
 row or broad, dull or lively, sunshil
 or gloomy, as we ourselves choose
 r'tlke it.
 t The greatest minds have regard,
 sympathy as divine passion, but tl Germans touted it as a weakness Fl ro gave all the world notice they beliey, FIT in ruling by ruthlessness instead
 love. This lasted until they we he themselves defenceless ani then tin es. challenge our kindly service as if tn
 were deserving and we were brutes sd withhold it, when they not only ila ,a+ denied mercy to nonconba tantS, b refused 10 use them with common ci
 ility. No doubt we feel in dutv bou 'A- to return good for evil, but 1t ~ D. take, the Germans more than one ge
 eration of good behavior to resto mt the worlds confidence which til ,at have destroyed. Germany az 6 mi i've guided nation played a aishonorai
 and fendish part. and the trust on
 reposed in her will be reestablish A when she has made reparation for r nd crimes.
