THE MAN WHO TALKS

not be stated better Mi1aisterial sap-l port is vital No class of men has ifeittl such economic pressure Everybody has been profteering except the prophet, it.l sonnet times seems. The greatest fIlan-I cief of the time is not Frank Vander- lip, or J. Rierpont Morgan but the wifeEl. of the average minister Unless the! | quantity of the support goes up, tileII duality of the minister will go down.

In this same report isIi some excellent advice about over-c -cfurch-jl ed communities. In communities wiaere plan should be devised for the with | drawal of the least important. 0ver- churching anywhere always tends to 3 1 sub-normal condition morally.
 Does not surprise sometimes come to rus like a shock when we are made to realize how easily we have misjudged a person? It is certainly true that first impressions are not always correct Some people do not reveal themselves as readily as others. What some people ] really are is not always worn on their coat sleeve. We, ourselves, may not be very expert in reading character. These two reasons then: Our lack of penetra- ton and the nroneness of some people to crawl into their shell, are the causes Eof misjudgment.. The writer once esti- mated a man by his face It was a face 'besotted by drink. and he was judged as lacking all kindly instipct. But when it WIS found that this man for month had been sharing his dinner with a hungry family, the impression had to be
 revised. Let us be very slow in putting any one down as worthless
 l If America was fully alive to the real i gravity of present conditions, mass I meetings. registering protest and intlig- l nation, would be held from one end of 1 the country to the other As a people 1 we are sound asleep, blissfully snoring, l while foreign radicals, called the Rafis," " l are provoking strikes. What for? Is I it because of their great interest in the I poor down .trodden workingnnan?' ?' Not I on your life! When the striking work l men gain their point, these radicals are sI the most disappointed people in the I United States, because coming out ahead I in a strike makes a satisfied workman, 1 and men. joyous and contented furnish sl La fallow soil for radicalisIn. The rad
 ical moves heaven and earth to prolong Il a strike, because discentent increases as 1.-the strike continues. If you can get the Iworkman hungry and ugly, then he easi-
 
 lbrought on by hungry stomach and a perverted brains is the field in which

 \ How much is involved in freedom of T speech? When all eyes were fixed on !. the deportation of Berknan, Goldman H and other apostles of radiealism, from
 some quarters came the cry that this was muzzling free speech. As free speech lis one of the pillars of democracy, to lprohibit it is undemocratic and un- Amer .seican. It is further stated that the ut l terances of Emma Goldman were notf- .sl ing but the mouthings of lisgruntleG woman. No one questions the tdoiHgs oa
 political parties or any other parties flor that matter. Anybody has a srigl1 to protest against the doings of any pub lie person. If it Is believed that public -sa; characters are injuripg the public wea anyone has a right to say so. That i. a legitimate function of free speech. Blu Fl to defame character is quite anothel [ matter; so also is insulting languag' gf against the flag and also seditious utter
 ances against ones country. We silouli e1 soon have fine state of society if nc 2 curb was put on tongues disposed to b
 slanderous.
 In an excellent address the other da,

More work and better work ca 'u be done by day than by night To sal in the daylight is thrifty.
 A traveller in South .America, who
 word is not to be questioned, vouches f
 the following story: While in the de,
 forest one day he saw a little bird flu n-l tering about in great excitement. Loo al ing up into the branches of a tree he Ii
 ticed a nest full of little birds. Soon
 idiscovered large snake coi1ing pp t, anI trunk presumably after the little birt of While watching the mother bird flew

 twisted off a sprig containing three gre ; leaves, and then she carefully lay it ov lis the nest. She then perched cornpl ch gently on a high branch and began
 sing sweetly. Meanwhile the reptile "

 Soon his strength returned and he st H. through the underbrush at great spe, ge Who told the bird what to do in the ho ,b- of peril? Even at this far distant d
 the sparrows are not forgottenl
