TODAY.


The following original poem was
written by Mrs. +. j. Tooze of the p.
I +. o. Chapter, Oregon City, and was
read in the Oregon State Convention.
3 Before reading To-day" Mrs. Tooze
told why il was written. A neighbor
wiiom she did not know, lay sick. Day
after day she promised herself she
wcsild run in and ask il she might not
do something, some little neighborly
act that would help cheer the sick
woman. Though her intentions were
good she failed to go, and one morn
ing il was too late.
Have you sent the flower
You were going to send
To the sick one across the way?
It would Tighten the gloom
OF that dgrkened room
Ii ycu would send it Today.
Have you written the letter
You promised 70 write
To the one who went away?
Ii would tighten the load
Along life's road
Ii you would write it Today.
Have you sung the song
You were going to sing
To the one now old and gray?
1t would bring her cheer
Through all the year
If you would sing it Today.
Have you spoken a word
To cheer some heart
That is lonely and sad alway,
Though it be but word
Some heart might be stirred
IL you should speak it Today.
Have you done the kind deed
For those in need
/ Who look for you every day?
I Pray look about,
And seek them out,
I "The poor you have with you alway"
Have you given a smile
To the weary and worn
Whom you meet on life's highway?
Though it be but smile
u would be worth while,
If you would give it Today.
Have you gone to one
Who sits all alone
/ And is aged and bent and gray?
! And cheerily there
As you sat by her chair,
! AnsAAhf >tAAt'f AAAt WIN hAN AbNos
Have you met, sometimes,
An erring one,
Who treads the great white way?
IL may be true,
That she looks for you
To show her the better way.
Have you uttered a prayer
To your Father above
For help some sister to save?
There is many one
Who would gladly come,
Will you not ask Him Today?
Do with your might
What your hands find to do,
And the still small voice obey
When il calls to you,
Something TO do,
To brighten some life Today.
And your life, like the flower,
Will turn to the light,
And sweeter grow, day by day,
IL these little things
Are done for Christ
In p. e. o. Today.

HOTEL MEN NOT ALL BAD
Wayne 3. Wheeler Tells Good Story
to Prove the Truth Of Asser-
tion Fie Makes.

Wayne 3. Wheeler Of the Anti-Sa-
loon league said in San Francisco:
Il think we're unjust to hotel men
as rule. We are too ready to ac-
cuse them of robbery. As matter
Of fact, they are very fine lot.
y once knew an engineer who was
travelling in Nevada. He had a good
deal Of money with him, and one night
he put up at very primitive hotel
IN the wilds. The landlord Of this
hotel looked like brigand, and the
engineer could hardly sleep for fear.
Nothing, however, happened, and
the next morning he set off with re.
lieved heart. The mountain trail was
lonely one, and on toward noon, in
a wild and desolate spot, three des-
peradoes fell on him, emptied his va
lise and pockets and made off.
'"The engineer was convinced that
the landlord was at the bottom of this
holdup. Accordingly he turned back
to notify the authorities. But he had
only gone mile or so when he met
a mounted messenger, who handed him
a small packet. Pinned to the packet
was a note from the villainous land
lord that said:
"I inclose your pocketbook contain
ing $3.50, which you left under your
pillow last night. Please send re-
ceipt by bearer"

NAPoLEoN's ONE BIG QUALITY
Great Frenchman'e Fascination Lay In
His Direetness, That's All,
Says II. G. Wells.

The world has largely recovered
from the mischief that Napoleon dido
perhaps that amount Of mischief had
to be done by some agency; perhaps
his career, or some such career, was
a necessary consequence of the world 8
mental unpreparedness for the crisis
OF the revolution. But that his Pc
culiar personality should dominate the
fmaginations Of great numbers Of peo-
pie, throws light upon factors of en-
during significance in our human
problem.
Marat was far more noble, per-
slstent, subtle and pathetic figure;
Talieyrand q greater statesman and
much more amusing personality;
Moreau and Hoch ADLER leaders Of
armies; his rival, Gar Alexander, as
cSotistical, more successful, more emo
tiona. and with finer Imagination.
Are men dazzled simply by the scale
of his flounderings, by the mere vast
ness Of his notoriety?
No doubt scale has something to do
with the matter; he was a record"
the record plunger; but there is
something more in it than that There
is an appeal in Napoleon to something
deeper and more fundamental in hu-
man nature than mere astonishment at
bignesS His very deficiencies bring
out starlly certain qualities that lurk
suppressed and hidden in US all. He
was unhampered. He had never
CLEAN of religion, or affection, or the
sense Of duty.
DireCtnasS was his distinctive and
1mmortalizing quality. He had no
brains to waste in secondary consider
ations- He flung his armies across
Europe straight at their mark, there
never were such marches before; he
fought to win; when he struck, he
struck with all his might And what
he wanted, he wanted simply and COM
pietely and got-if he could.
There lies his fascination.-From

Pope Makes Plea to Allay Unrest.

A return to the principles of the
gospel, together with desire to work
is the only effective remedy for ex-
listing conditions of unrest, Pope Ben.
edict declared on Christmas day.
The pope's statement was in re-
sponse to greetings from Cardinal
Vanuletti, head of the college of car
dinals, who had praised the pontiff' S
efforts in the direction of social re-
construction. The statement cited the
following five evils which afflict pres
ent day society:
Lack of discipline, hatred, lazyness,
inordinate craving for pleasure and
loss of faith in God.
"The war S not over, men are still
fighting among themselves" the mes
sage said.
Nations and peoples will vainly en-
deavor to bring about reconstruction
if they forget what is written in the
holy books that reconstruction is i'm
possible without Gods cooperation.
1t is the mission and duty of the pope
to remind society of this warming"
The pope declared that laziness be-
gets industrial upheavals and paralysis
of commercial life, adding that the
workshop of the Nazarene should
teach all to love work
With society still suffering from the
effects of the war, Pope Benedict said
he would devote every effort to bring
ing about return to the principles
OF the gospel. He declared the mis-
sion of the holy see was never greater.
