The Snber-Six

The six greatest men in history, according to H G. Wells, are Jesus
Buddha, Asoka, Aristotle, Roger Bacon and Abraham Lincoln.
The names r familiar to you, with the exception of Asoka. He
ws a king who reigned in India 2145 years ago. Wells includes him
in the superstx list because "he is the only military monarch on record
who abandoned warfare after victory"
Roger Bacon was an English philosopher of seven centuries ago, who
delved in Black Magic. Most of his greatness is based on myth and
superstition.
Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, might be included in the list though
he was not great enough to induce his pupil Alexander the Great, to
refrain from wagng vicious. wars of conquest
No two people viii agree on a list of the six greatest men in history.
Most Americans would exclude Jesus. believing him a divinity instead
of a man.
What list do you nominated? In compiling it, keep in mind that real
greatness depends on service to humanity.
The most important thing in civilization is the home. And most house
to the home was the invention of the cooking stove and its big brother

Franklin ~
Viewed from modern standards, it is probable that several of historys

And how about Watt, inventor of the steam engine, without which

CHAPTER III

AS they walked down the hill to-
gether, Andre-Louis was talkative. He
had chosen Woman as O subject for
his present discourse. He claimed
quite unjustihably-to have discov-
cred Woman that morning; and the
things we had to say Of the sex were
unhattering, and occasionally almost
gross.
Opposite the Breton Arme-the inn
and posting house at the entrance of
the village Of Gavrillac-M. de VII
MORN interrupted his companion just
as he was soaring to the dizziest
heights Of caustic invective, and An
dre-Louis observed the carriage of M.

door of the hosiery.

NJ. le Marquis. He desires to hear me
further In the matter" said Philippe.
Into a room on the right, rendered
private to M. lie Marquis for so long
as he should elect to honor it, the
young men were ushered by the host.
A fire Of logs was burning brightly at
the rooms far end, and by this sat
now NJ. de La Tour d'Azyr and his
cousin, the Chevalier de Chabrillane.
You oblige me by your prompt
courtesy M. de Vilmorin," said the
Marquis, but in a tone SO cold as to
belle the pol1teness of his words. "a
chair, I beg. All, Moreau?" The note
was frigidly interrogative. HE ac-
companies you monsieur" he asked.
IF you please, M. lie Marquis"
"Why not? Find yourself a seat,
Moreau."
"It is good of you. monsieur" said
Philippe, Ito have offered me this op,
portunity Of continuing the subject
that took me so fruitlessly. as it hap

Science and Morals

The claim of scientists that morality is not a nener for religious
control is a play upon words There is no reason why science should not
continue to investigate the natural history of morals, sim 1taneously with
1.-THE exercise OF moral powers by the clergy. Scientists are too rigdy
bound by logic.
When science denies morality is an undertaking law, given to man
kind by the Creator, it talks a language not understood by Common sense.
MatenaIistc scientists wish to destroy spiritual faith by making
morals local to the earth. They are entangled by the very nature of their
argument Morality. they say. is only a human attribute. But what is
a human being?
The presence of a moral order in the universe is as mysterious as
the presence OF life itself, Clustered reasoning is deceptive. Whoever
% studies life win find in morals an element directing sefdevelopment
for other than earthly business.

frame Of mind on the patients part,
A man lay critically Ill Of pneu-
monia. but the nurse kept assuring
him that he would recover. The con
sultant entered the ward and. after a
thorough examination of the man,
pointed out to his students the symp-
toms which made recovery highly
improbable. The nurse. an Irish wo-
man, plain and middle aged, but with
a reputation for pulling through al
most hopeless cases, noted a change
come over the patient IS he heard
the verdict. When the chief left, she
sat down beside the man and, taking
his hand IN hers, talked to him as a
mother would talk to a little child,
trying to restore his hope and fight
ing courage. But the man lay list
less. A little later, in the ward office,
the nurse urged the chief-he was
one Of the greatest Of his day; Go
back and tell that man he a get
well! You have killed his hopes! Lie
If you must. but make him believe
he can get well!'
The chief looked at her steadily a
moment and said, You are right, l
will"
A few moments later he returned
to the ward with another physician
who, going over the case, said he be
lieved such and such things would
tide over the condition, and sitting
down beside the patient, told him he
expected to save him. but not with
out his cooperation. and he patiently
proceeded to rekindle the hope OF re-
covery in the man.
He did get well, and the chief told
his students hat the recovery was
due wholly to the nurses skill. She
did not know she was using psy-
chology; she only knew she was using

The phrase arrested her. She turned
to him again. and he perceived that
her eyes were shining now suspicious
ly. In al instant the mockery in him
was quenched IN contrition.

PROSPERITY
Important news, for all who work.
The railroads announce that in the
week ended June 10 they loaded $780,
o02 cars of freight.
This was 38,797 cars more than in
the corresponding week Of 1919, during
the big boom. The gain would be
around 100000 cars. instead Of SS,797,
II coal were moving normally instead
Of being held back by the strike.
Many are wondering if a business
boom really is coming. Coming? 1t Is
here now, in many industries. And
It is not a false alarm.

finds that the railroads have $4,000
freight cars and 1923 locomotives In
bad order'-that Is, laid up for re-
pairs.
Getting this crippled rolling stock
into good shape again will provide jobs
for many thousands OF men.
In every branch OF our economic
system we have bad order" equip

Everything wears out. Repairing or
replacing 1t IS what brings prosperity.
The momentum OF prosperity is gen
Grated in hard times.
SCHOOLS
Our educational system is not yet
practical enough, though better than
it was years ago. One proof Of this:
Thousands OF high school girls and
| boys are seeking work in vacation.
Ask them. What have you beeen

Most Of them answer, Nothing"
