THE MAN WHO TALKS

.
 find much difficulty in the manage
 ment of ourselves; and more in the
 management of others. It is true every one knows hds own heart and that it is beyond the power of any one else to know it. While the face is said to express the character back of it, man seems to have the power to look like a dove when he is a. devil. In the sphere of freedom he has scope which cannot be denied him. The nat ural cheeks to conduct in some direc- tions he must heed, while in other ways he is free to take chance. If he lacks purpose in life, to him life does not seem to be worth living. To live in sin is recognized as an
 unscientifc and Wasteful method of passing one life There is science in living the most commonplace life; and to the temperate, the health and energy conserving people, not only the thfee-sEore and ten, but the cen turv tickets are handed out. It. is probable more people have per3shed, for lack of knowledge than were ever
 victims of the drink habit. There is science in mechanics. in trade, in every day living and in religion. Good sense and reason, Stanislaus tells us, compretends all science. There is no science which upon reasonable per-
 sons should have the effect of a red
 rag shaken at @ bull! Science is not the handmaiden of superstition, but Is ever seeking the light although at
 times 1t may leave us in the dark. It Is surprising how the great com hinations of the country are striving to bleed the country, and to deny to those who have bled for their eoun- try their just dues With so many bad examples in every sort of a high place why should labor be so severely condemned for what is termed eKces-
 sive demands The men who defend the country are not the men who in postwar conditions become extor- l tionists and cripple their country. The l politicians in the past four years have ] by their practices demoralized cap, l ital and labor. There are rational days right ahead; and although the ship of state seems to have listed a 1 little, she wiN right up soon let us hope with a good navigator. The kotanist looks at you and says 1 God does not make flowers especially to please man, for His greatest and most glorious gardens are like His most wonderful sunsets, where the eye of man seldom sees them! And the bird student says Do not think
 the Lord made birds to sing to please you for He didn't" We haven't ears acute enough to hear their finest ] notes. They sing as man does for
 their own pleasure. Time as man has divided it does not fit bird! To fit a 1 bird. time as we know it should have every second divided like our minute l into 60 parts. Man is dull in his~re lation to many natural sounds and \ actions
 The navigator of the air is disclos- 1 ing new phenomena of which man has | always remained in ignorance. It is
 since the beginning of 1920 that it has been discovered that 10000 feet, or about four miles, above the earth the
 wind was blowing 1S0 miles an hour,
 force that few buildings on earth could withstand. Another thing which
 seems queer is that, no matter how an airship tits, water in a glass which the aviator is using does not
 run out. Another fact disclosed is 1 that our small birds fly at, times sev-
 eral miles high, and can navigate in comfort where man cannot. Man has I much to learn about the ways of na- I ture.
 f Do you realize that the shadows of 1 life can become much more wearing I upon your energies than it's realities I Too many people short circuit ] themselves by fretting and worrying \ about things which never happen! It is not hard work that wears people out! To Inal-nutrition through ignor- ance is traceable scores Of break { downs which are attributed to over work The family physician can tell us what fools we are and prove it 1 much more effectively than our <doc- 1 tors of divinity. Indigestible food can 1 make us as useless as the hook-Worn can, and it is provefbial what shades i of night grandnas nainee pie can pro- duce. Between our feelings 8nd our
 fears reside more haunting, harrow ing shapes than any necromancer bas ever been able to call up. We must i live right to be right!
 l Some of the returned soldiers find 1 their. marital troubles quite as per 1 picking as service in the front trench over in France. One who married the girl who took fancy to him finally 1 looked to the court for relief, and said they were married, a period of a year l and a half. We have a jaw about ! once a month" said the Deughboy Hand every time we quarrel she leaves mel" The court referred him to the city missionary ,who said to him: l 'fThe next time invite her to walk l out!" The missionary did not regard incompatabiity of temper so serious | where a little tact was practical When it is time for something new ii
 should be resorted to.
 l The good book says: God breathed into the noStrilS Of man and he be- came a living soul.s As we are talked to about having a soul, too many oi us become imGressed that there are two of us instead of one. Witsaoui mind there would be no soul--Gl1ind is
 what makes the man. and through il he is inspired to do his work and tc dc his duty. It is because of mind j that he thinks and does and acts and
 knows. The mind Of man is invisible
 to, us-also is the man himself in al he designs to do, since we have nc
 way of knowing the secrets of any
 persons life unless they are disclosed
 to US. The man we know more from manifestation than by sight.
 l Wisdom like common sense is noi to be acquired in the schools; and ii is quite difficult to get good defini- ton of it. Only the person who con- stant1y does right can be written down as wise. Wisdom, like Bre'g Rabbit, spends good deal of time
 laying lowi" Wisdom Is constantly whispering ts us: Don't fall in love with wotTself," 'sBe considerate fo1 those who err!" Don't be a Hog!'
 Don't be 50 pious you hold youI
 neighbofs in low esteem, or so mear that you think everybody on earth is
 crooked" when wisdom reigns com nonsense can take a vacation and tns
