AMERICAN CONTRASTS.

You will find contrasts everywhere
and every town and village is filed
with the same, writes Valerian in the
Brooklyn Tablet. Last week we
boarded train at our village to go
to neighhoring village to witness an
entertainment given by the Knights
of Columbus With us were about
twenty Knights, including members of
their families A large group of fell
low villagers were waiting for the
same train. Everyone of this group
was Jew or Jewess. They were
going to a Jewish dance, also in the
next town. On the return trip, the
German and the Irish "CaSeys" Smil-
ingly noted the happy Israelites also
returning and the rest of the car was
filled with good-lOoking fellow towns
men, all in full-dress suits, not en-
tirely concealed by their mufflers and
overcoats They were the active Free
Masons, also of our town, just return
ing from a degree" meeting under
the auspices of that mysterious gen
tleman Hiram Abiff." All three groups
were well-known to us and the Mas
ter Mason in his enthusiasm almost
gave the writer the right grip when
he shook hands. This is the United
States. 1t is the home of tolerance
and good fellowship and side by side
these different elements are working
out their ideals in real harmony

The phrase is much older than that
In a Dublin pamphlet of 1852 which
was issued as reply to some state
mentS made by the Protestant dis
sent;ng ministers Of Strand and En-
STAGE streets, Dublin. the writer asks
Who is to choose between our re-
ligious belief and our pastor? Our
selves alone, and none on earth has a
right to interfere with our choice.
The capitalization of the words in
the pamphlet suggest their current
employment. They sound extremely
un-English, and tend to make one
think Of the Latin Of the Nulgatp

tho Nulgate Of Ezra, chapter 4. verse
3. "Sed nos ipSi soil aedificabmus

ENCOURAGE THE CHlLD'S EFF
FORTS TO MAKE ITSELF
USEFUL.

In every child. sooner or later, the
assistance, as it daily sees the grown
up doing; to help mother, writes
Mary F. Rose in the Christian Family.
For the child this being able to help,
embraces all that is lovely and good,
and deepest JOY shines from his eyes
when he has accomplished his first
service. Very often, however, the
child is so enthusiastic in his en-
deavor to help that he attempts things
impossible. But it would be a posi-
tive failure in his training to dismiss
him gruff1y. One must at all times
meet child kindly and lovingly, and
surely in this case. He advances
prompted by the desire to be of as
sistance, to relieve us from some task
What infinite pain must be caused to
with a harsh: Leave that, you can't
do that" Such thoughtless remark
may cause deep wounds, from which
the child may have to suffer a very
long time, and serious results in his
disposition. His sweetly confidential
manner will shrink, and he will avoid
our company.
How different is the effect if one
lovingly says: See, you are a little
too small for that, you must grow a
little bigger before you can do that
But l know something else wherewith
you can help me-" Then there is nc
sad little face. no heartache, and
mother and child are the better for it
A small child should rot be expected
to do what we call real work. We
must be satisfied. or rather grateful
if he does show this desire when still
very young, and if these attempts are
received kindly and encouraged, his
helpfulness will increase with his grow
ing physical strength.

FINDS 1T PAYS TO GIVE.

Coincidence, you will say. Prob
ably so, but the young man mentioned
here feels that it was because he east
his bread upon the waters"
A few Sundays ago the young man
in question, who is a member of Nc
Kendree NJ. E. church, Washington,
ID. c., heard his pastor preach a SER
mon on tithing in connection with
the nationwide centenary movement
to raise s1O5.O0O,OOO for war recon
struction work and missions.
At the conclusion of the services
the young man said to the pastor:
Il am deeply impressed by what
/ should give a tenth of my earnings
to the work of the church. but l have
a wife and child and am getting only
a moderate salary"
With this statement he walked
away, but had not reached the door
before he turned and walked back to
where the pastor stood and declared:
Il don't know how am going to do it,
but | am
Next morning he was called into
his employers office and told that be-
cause of his efficient service it had
been decided to give him a substan-
tial increase in salary.
Coincidence. or not, there is one
young man in Washington who is
thoroughly convinced that it pays to
listen to the dictates of ones inner
consciousness.

THE GENTLE ART OF RUBBING
PEOPLE THE RIGHT WAY.

The knack of doing and saying the
right thing at the right time is a Won
derful asset in business, and its alb
sence is the cause of many a mans
ill success. Strangely enough, it some
times happens that these men have
given considerable thought to this
very thing of meeting people in a
pleasing way. but have failed to get
on to the real philosophy of it. The
following story appearing in System
(New York;, and credited to a banker
whose reputation puts him near the
top of people who know how to rub
people the right way, throws some
light on this matter.
When | opened the banking business
Il good many years ago | had num-
her of copybook ideas about how
should meet people. always give a
firm. strong grip in shaking hands. "
Look the other man in the eye when
you talk with him." Let him know
that you are glad to see him." Those
were some of my ideas.
They didn't last long, though. Old
Mr.. Block, president of the institu-
ton, called me over to his desk one
day in his abrupt way. Young man.
he began, you are promising chap
in this bank. So remember that what
I'm going to tell you is for your own
good, to help you develop, and l don't
like the way you meet people, and |
don't think that they like it. You act
as though you were doing it by rule.
Act natural; don't be affected. If you
are sincerely interested in the other
fellow he'll know it even if you growl.
Take that for what it's WORTH
That was the best advice that ever
came my way. | left off my copybook
manners and began to act more like a
human being.
Immediately I began getting alone
better with people. SO | have ever
since been using everyday man-to-man
sincerity as my one method in dealing
with men. This is all there is to it..
It's so simple it's hard to believe.

p. n. RAHILLY WRITES TO DE-
VALERA.

(This letter is published as the re-
suit of several requests.)
Lake City, Mimi, Feb. 10, 1920.
My Dear DeValera:
To you, the trusted representative
of the Irish people. l send the en-
closed check for five hundred dollars
as my contribution to the Irish Ma
tional Loan.

in wheatfield within six miles of
the treaty stone of Limerick, Ireland.

past siXty-siX years.
The enemies of Irish liberty will
understand that citizens of Irish blood
and lineage in America will stand by
the Irish Republic as long as there
is a red coat in Ireland. Americans
are asked to support the efforts of the
people of Ireland to maintain the
already established republic of Ire
land, because it is an American prin
ciple to uphold Freedom wherever
freedoms banner flies. One cannot be
a real American and deny any nation
the right to independence, and its peO-
pie the freedom which only a republic
can provide. If the British of 1916
could have arrested Maryland's great
patriot, John Carroll of Carrollton,
that lover of liberty like the Irish par
lament members of today, would have
been jailed and all the other signers
of the Declaration of Independence.
The foreigner becomes one with the
native American. 1t is the realization
of nation unity. based on the equality
of social, civil, political and religious
rights 1t means the elimination of all
distinctions and Determinations on
account of race or creed. 1t means on
the part of the citizens born in this
country full recognition of the value
of the new citizen; he should be made
to feel that he is no longer stranger
or guest, but one. of the family, at
home. This will enable the foreign
born citizen to lose his racial self
consciousness. America is the prod
uct of colonization, emigration and
assimilation.
love Ireland, more especially be-
cause she has been invaded, robbed,
murdered, by the most blood thirsty
government on the globe. She made
it a criminal offense to educate our
fathers and then accused us of being
ignorant; she followed us to this coun-
try with her powerful bigoted press.
I love America thousand times
more, because it is land of freedom
and equal rights, such as the human

Les than fifteen minutes later he
arrived upon the scene of the disaster
A long train of freight cars lay over

body.
The spectators turned sad, blanched
faces toward the priest-reply suffi-

A PRIESTS PRAYER

Hardly a soul was stirring in the
little town Of Ashton. 1t was the noon
hour Of a hot, July day; and the al
most tropical rays of the morning sun
kept everybody within doors behind
shaded windows. Peace, the swe
lanquid peace of the South, reigne1
over the place; the very atmosphere
sweet with the scent Of blossomine
cinnamon vine, was conducive to con,
tentment and tranquility of soul. And
now soft upon the air the silvery tone
of the "Angelus" echoes forth its gen
tie summons to prayer; whereupon

structure, quite free from any pre-

rounded by a we'll kept lawn and neat
rows of hedges. Beside it was the
equally unpretentious rectory, modest
but adequate to supply the simple
wants of the pastor. Here, too, the
MONDAY languor seemed to have cast

priest was not experiencing the peac'

sad; bis brow furrowed; and his gra,

The morning had been spent at the
homestead of Mr.. Rawley, one of the
