Is an Inch Worth While

There is not human being on the earth to-day
who is not going through struggle. The princi-
pies of good and evil of light and darkness, for
which the war was fought present in every life.
1t has always been so. The only difference now is
that the war has lifted the veil from the human heart
and we see more clearly. Each of apply
the lesson of the war his problem and that
the great law of life holds good. Every man who
respects himself and has acquired set of principles
for which he fights has had in his life battle of
the Marne. The principles of strategy in the war;
laid down and demonstrated by Foch hold good for
each individual well for army Without faith
born of knowledge gained by experience and suffer
ing, we perish. We constantly all about
who are mentally and morally pershng because they
have turned and fled from the battlefield. That is
why looking the thing in terms of flesh and blood,
normal men always willing to die fighting They
know by instinct that the other way is worse.
Take the life of any man. As he comes dimlyt
first, recognize these principles of good and evil,
he begins fight for the good In time he acquires
certain power of combat. But as his strength to
sist evil grows, his responsibility grows. There is,
for example, great difference between the response

responsibilities of day laborer But in between these
two extremes all developing our responsibilities

An Irish Mountain Colleen

From the summit of one of Connemaras noun
tns the eye travels the peerless country of West
Ireland dotted with innumerable little loughs be-
loved of the fishermen the gracious lines of her
clouddapped hills, and the valleys where the purple
shadows lnger; the scattered "clachans"-
handfuls of whitewashed toy houses-tucked away in
the sheltered folds of the hills to the coastne bitten

far from village or house-a woman comes down

The Dreamer as Practical Success

We frequently hear one say of another, ooh, he's
not practical He's dreamer!' 1t is rash
judgment passed by the unthinking for dreamers are
the practical men of the earth they civilized the
world
The dreamer is one who possesses and uses inn
agination. Without imagination the world would be
more advanced today than it was in the stone age
1t not the ambitious man, but the dreamer
who gave us our marvels of invention and science!
When Jubal gave ear to the music of the running
streams the zephyrs through the and the call of
birds, he began dreaming. His day-dream that he
could initiate these soothing and melodious sounds
His Imagination led him to devise crotched stick
dreaming of Juba have today our great pipe or
gans violins and all other musical instruments.
Man learned the secret of crops from observation
and thinking. He saw Natures work. the ripening
and falling of the seeds, their sproutng and new
growth. But the dreamer saw that many fell upon
barren ground and he began dreaming of means of
growing all the seeds.
Tubal-cain perhaps first dreamed of means of
increasing crops. He imagined method of turning
the sod and dropping the seeds within the fertile SOIL
1t could be done by hand He devised the ancient
and crude plow of the crooked limb and point of metal
first dragged through the sod by and then by
beast. Tubal-can was dreamer-to his dreaming
the forefather of all agricultural implements.
Calico looked at the moon and dreamed that he
could approach it and clearly what caused
the shadings. He was called dreamer and laughed
at, at first, but he made the telescope and looked
through it, seeing the mountains; he discovered
Jupiter, and the pendulum, and such crowds finally
came to listen to this dreamer that he had to address
them out-of-doors
Columbus was reckoned fool for dreaming that
the world round. Watt dreamed of Harvesting
streams; Whitney dreamed of the cotton-gin; Edison
dreamed of quadrupling messages over one wire, of
ncandescent lights motion pictures and the talking
machine; Marconi dreamed of messages sent without
wires; the Wright brothers dreamed of Ayng-all
were dreamers.
Dreamers gave us our dyes and medicines, our
songs and our art our steamships and electric locomo
tives.
All praise to the dreamer for he created ambition
The dreamer civilized the world-Exchange.
