THE MAN WHO TALKS

2 people everywhere, in business and
 out of it, in the professions and out 0 them, in all vacations and out of them. They are all equipped to take care of a full supply of energy. but the juice is running in a false circuit and has lost none of it's force. but is Accomplishing nothing. An impeded 4 causes. for this condition, and a lack I of knowledge of ones self is the l leading one. To have power one must l believe in self and try to do a few I things well instead of many. What ever you start to do be intent, This is concentration and because of it any l thing is well done which is under I taken.
 I We are ali the time preaching faith.
 in God, but what the world is suffer 1 ing for is mans faith in man. and in government. It is not good for us to. distrust either God or man! The cause of the worlds agony today can be traced to the fact that men refuse 1 to believe in one another's integrity, and absolutely refuse to trust one another. The triune faith of man in God, in one another and in self, is lwhat will make the world safer for all of us. It has been truly said: Faith does nothing alonei", Ones faith in God must excite Gods faith
 in him; and to demonstrate faith he must do something besides giving req son repose and faltering in his tracks True faith is dynamic, never Ia loss of power. 4 | Everybody wants more money and ! everything man needs is increasing in price. The more things cost the less l a dollar will buy and if some of the l profiteers should have their. way a: 1920 dollar would be in comparison i with the 1913 dollar worth about ten
 cents; or ten dollars would purchase
 as much as one dollar used to-. If the l. farmers should demand $ six -hDpr day and one dollar an hour. wages
 we should have the pleasure of paying one dollar loaf for bread. Our hard
 handed sons of toll stand between us and the hardest times we have ever
 known. We can help by making old things last longer and buying less. We have reached an era when high priced goods are of poor nudity; Reason and patience will restore order.
 l How long do you suppose man
 roamed the, earth before he thought of pedigree. There is little doubt he had i. begun to bank upon his ancestors be- fore, written language was invented. If : he had known what a two-edged
 sword it was he would have been will
 ing, perhaps, to have forgotten it. Of course, eminent and distinguished an : cestry is not to be esneeEed at; but if we are worthy of them we demon } strate that blood tells; but worthy an- cestors only reflect upon, unoWfthy l scions the burning light of contempt i Inflated by their greatness we make
 more prominent our. own nothingness ! .es{ Ef fl1tr own deeds. Lack of merit on our part may be their shame.
 loo many people in the. world just
 ! drift along with the crowd, like a
 chip carried by the tide. It is purpose { that puts pep iato life. Too many people fiatter themselves they are ; good when they should be conscious e that they should be, good for sone- ' thing What is the use of becoming conscious of the power of Christ il 5 one is not a believer in il, as q divinit :, force working through ones self. Be s lief in self-faith in self-makes mar . strong in, whatever he essays to do i | The trouble many people have iii this f world is due to their half heartedness
 to their negative moods. which art
 stumbling blocks in their way. Peo t pie in an atmosphere of doubt inyitt F u SIdl0~ ~OI4cuHIlSlOil IllCIA IlIdhtS tSuC' Y cess impossible. Wake up! And ge c up and get somewhere!
 Our entire lives are made up Q c good and bad habits, and the goo' - habits preponderate. In habits o r thought and action man is a bus. t creature The condition of the work f today shows that in habits of though z man is very far from being wise, ant
 in habits of action may become a vi . olent beast. We are having mucl Il preaching about the lessons of tn war, but no unity of thought or ac r tion. This war has taught nothin s that every war which datkens tn e pages of history should not hay V taught. Its burdens are sure. but it < lessons may. be easily forgotten. Gu
 habits of selfshness and speculatio
 are so strong that we march genera l. pice, instead of straight up the Noun n tain of Truth. e ;e isn't that queer challenge? "Hav ir you the right to happiness ?" It seem l. to me that happiness is ours by in d heritance,. and that we have a rigt le to all we can create, or others ca = produce for us. Our natural mora - and legal rights to happiness are a y defensible as our rights to gloom, ( 1T misery. Happiness is simply a matte m of thought and feeling, as is also niis in cry No one can be happy who think ar he is not, never mind how great h .d possessions, how varied his talents # how devoted his friends. Happiness heavenly, and is the fruit of Christlik !e acts.
 = The world will never have recognize
 Christ properly until it has discovere that man is not the cheapest thing Q
 earth. This martial spirit which or deemed so necessary is not to be foun - in the conduct or preaching of tn y Saviour, who demonstrated the powt
 of truth was sufficient to produc
 heaven upon earth. Man has made ne necessary not only to live in a stat at of apprehension and defense, but
 withstand these shocks of terroris
 which have cost the world ten millio ,h human lives and indescrfbable agor es and distress. So long as envy and dis
 trust mark the conduct of the natior
 just so long there will be wars of cor . quest which are campaigns for u IT. subjection of peoples and the theft ne their territory and wealth. Abuse of power anywhere is a crime.
 There is no doubt labor is comin
 on to new basis with this new CT ed of the world which is: just dawnin II, and those who employ labor shou az recognize that old systems of emplo,
 ment are dead, because man is dete
 mined to get upon a better footin ra The ,bolsheyiki are the product of u vc world system of keeping labor t,
 close to starvation; and the ease wi SS which they convert our own workers 2 because, we have not fully recogniz,
 the rights of those who serve. The
