Every intelligence, born into
this world, sometime, somewhere,
lies at the gate beautiful some
teacher offers help, choice is made
and the life of. the one who tarries
at the gate is colored by that
choice. More often than otherwise,
this gate is called opportunity.
My proof for the foregoing is,
that large per cent of employers
Of labor started out as wage
workers; getting the same wages
as men who are still wage workers.
They were together at the gate
one said: However hard it may
be however much of sacrifice it
requires, l will save money The
other says: If l spend all my
wage" will sbill want many
things l cannot have; I'll not try
to save. -" This is a fact ti\lt no
labor agitator can deny.
What we are today roots back
to the choice we made at the gate
beautiful
Philosophy Is Vital.
Il am aware that some loose
thinkers assert that it makes no
difference what we believe; it is
what we do that counts; this Is
false philosophy. Ones doing are
the harvest Of ones believings,
One is what he believes, IS
When Peter and John were to
pass through the beautiful gate
in the long ago. One who had all
ways been a beggaT, asked aims of
them. 1t so happened that the
thini the beggar asked, the thing
he thought he needed, the disciples
did not have.
Il fancy they might have said
we will go into the street and see
a more or less liberal minded pub
lie, could have brought him a
cloak, a robe, brought him a haHd-
full of silver, could have had him
carried into the temple to worship,
Had this been the method emf
ployed, the result would have
been:
81 gave a beggar from my little
store of wealth some gold; |
He spent the shining ore, and came
again and yet again,
Still cold and hungry, as BEFORE
THE trouble with the world is,
lack Of vision. Happily, these
disciples had vision, far vision. |
Silver and gold have none, but
such as have give thee
81 wonder just what emotions
thrilled through the being of the
beggar at Peters words. Remem-
Der he had always been beggar, |
he came into the world hurt before |
he was born, had no hope of ever |
doing anything but beg; what, to |
him. perfectly unbelievable thing |
he hears, what a resetting OF the |
boundaries OF life is portended in |
the command that falls from |
Peters lips: IN the name of Jesus |
Christ of Nazareth rise up and |
walk -
Environment Vanishes.
"In a moment the environment /
of disability is utterly gone, the
chains of inability are removed. he
has become a whole man and, all
any whole man has a right to ask |
in this world Is opportunity and I
Strength. ..
"The world today is clamorous
with the voice of discomfort and /
the cadence thereof is angry
What shah we do Shall we give
to the world, elamerous, insistent, /
threatening; what they want; or.
set before them what they need
These are the alternatives and,
in my judgment, we haze scant
time in which to decide as to the
policy we shall pursue.
"If some capitalists have their
way, to be a laborer, win be to Il
be peon. @ i"
IF some laboring men have their |,
way, soviet Russia is an example
of the result. /.
This is blunt but not true-there |
are enough capitalists who are not 4
of that kind; there are enough la ,
borers that are different. there is
enough 'unsel islness in tho world,
If these forces win cooperate, toll
avert that which spells ruin. q. r

Look a thing or. two square!y IN
the face. We have just passed /
through the greatest prosperity. i
