IMAGINATION

Imagination. net VIII, is the force
that has ruled the world thus far.
Writers have given false praise to
this abused word-Will. 1t is the
lima gination that has always been the
master of the WIFI The Will always
does what the Imagination tells it 20
do.
It's the Imagination that is the
master and the viii the servant.
Napoleon, with whom this magic
word VIII has for so long been linked,
fully understood its secondary impor-
| lance. During the Egyptian campaign
it was that he uttered that famous
phrase Soldiers, from yonder Pyra-
mids forty centuries look down upon
you'll" And thereupon every soldier
felt his marshaPs baton itching with
in his breast
Desire was stimulated by what each
soldier saw.
On another occasion this master
leader of mem exclaimed, when he
was told the impossibility of crossing
the Alps There shall be no Alps"
And so there were none, for him-not
because his Will denied it, but be-
cause his Imagination saw his army
creeping. as one man, to the other
side. The career of this marvellous
man was one of maps, maps. maps
pictures of things he wanted done or
achieved, worked out long in advance
of his acts.
But let this be said of this Will of
ours-it is the grandest servant that
we possessi
For it will go anywhere with any
message we give to it. Tell it that
your back is sore or tired, that your
heart is lonely, or that in some minute
corner of your bodily machine there is
repair to be done, and straightway-
as Rowan carried his message to Gar
cia-this VIII does the bidding of
your Imagination.
And what wonders are accom-
plishedl
All the great teachers of the world
have understood this vital, subtle
power, tho but few have rightly
crowned il.
Emile Coue, the great French ply
stefan. has come nearer to the truth
than anyone. He links the Imagina-
ton to the unconscious self and says:
1.-The unconscious self is the grand di-
rector of all our functions" And
furthermore he says: when the Will
and the Imagination are antagonistic,
it is always the Imagination that
wins. without any exception
What greater task, therefore, can
there be than for us each to set quick
ly about educating these Imaginations
of ours-to serve us, and others, well.

BEVERIDGE TELLS THEM.

Albert J. Beveridge, candidate for
the United States senate in Indiana, is
reported to have won applause from
a crowd of railroad men at Logans-
port, when he held before them a
mirror, so to speak. and permitted
them to see themselves as others see
them. The speaker is quoted as fol-
lows:
NOW let me ask you this question:
suppose the heads of the farmers or
ganlzattons would 20 to Washington

unless by next Wednesday at 2 O'clock
you pass law, and unless the govern
ment supplements that law with rules
ana regulations which by act of con-
greSS and government, interference
will Immediately raise the price of
farm products to an enormous extent,
classify farm labor so that the how
who does the chores gets just as much
wages as the man who runs the
threshing machine, which forbid a
job that one farmer now does easily
from being done hereafter by less
than six to twelve farmers, which re-
quire every farm job such as garner
ing eggs from the hay NOW, if done
after the farmer has worked eight
hours. to be paid at the rate of one
half day of work, and. in short, which
make the government regulate and
interfere Win tne snla4eSt details OF
farming the result of which is that
the Ncost Of producing the nations
food would, by act OF congress and
government Interference be made
greater tomorrow than the entire
earnings of all the farms in America
today, thus multiplying, by act of con-
gress and governmental authority, the
price of food
Suppose the farmer demanded that
all this be done, telling congress and
the president that. unless they did
this the farmers would stop every
plow in the furrow. shut up every
granary and starve the American peo-
pie. would you railroad men stand for
that2 Yet that is almost exactly what
was done to the nation by those who
forced the passage of the Adamson
law, secured the McAdoo national
agreements and placed American rail-
way service in the condition it is now
in.

Z @Fhe essence of the ship tubsidy bill
now pending in congress, it is said. is
the provision that creates a joint
board. made up from the interstate
commerce commission and the ship
ping board, whose duty It shall be to
obtain proper cooperation between
rail and water transportation systems.
This means" says a member OF the
hoard. that our duties then will begin
at the gateway OF the farm or factory
and end only when their products are
safely in warehouses abroad" But it
probably will be Sound necessary to
establish another board to provide the
market for the products OF the farm
and factory.

Sensational" OF course. ''Uncon-
ventional?'' Certainly. Destructive OF

these four virile men had clear ideals
upon the relative Importance of prop
erty and life. ''They disturbed the
meeting?" Assuredly. Would that
ten thousand perfunctory Christian
assemblies might be similarly startled
by manifestations of life and faith and
expectation Imagine, tho, the ra-
diant face of the Master as he looked
up at the falling mud from the flat
roof, and saw the resolute faces of
the four, who were bound to reach
house. Nothing gave Him such joy as
a display of faith. OF course he met
it, instantly, and healed the sick man
and forgave his sins-and thereby set
the tongues of the fault-finding
eccIesiastics and doctrinaires to wag-
ging.
No man is poor VINO has q friend
Happy the palsied man in the story

action bound to him by ties of friend

they. These splendid fellows were not
afraid of manual labor. They took up
their helpless friend on their own
strong arms and made a way-liter-
ally made a way-for MIN to the Ply
stefan. These four were the type of
character who in all ages get things
done.
''WheEe are the four today?' is the
heart OF the present appeal of this
Bible story. Our world is sick; no
expert diagnosis is needed to reveal
that fact. The palsied plight of the
nations and of society stands out as
clearly as the need of the man car
ried to Jesus. Nor is there any doubt
about that other truth, that the Great
Physicians is the only possible Healer.
We all know the need; we all know
the remedy. What remains?
Nothing but the four, to bear suf-
fering sQ@ety to the sufficient Savior.
We are admittedly bankrupted of
great statesmen; the more searching
and vital question is, Are we also de-
void of Christians great enough, dar-
ing enough, strong enough, to seize
the present emergency to put a sick
world into the hands or a healing
Christ? From every land and condi-
tioR this cry rises to heaven today,
Where are the four?" Let them ap-
pear and our stricken generation will
be saved.

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS
! Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson am IT years
old. The other night 1 went to the
picture show with my girl friend and
there were two boys sitting next to
her who talked to her and seemed
very friendly. They go to high school
and they recognized us and called US
by name. but we had never been in
troduced to them. After the show
they asked to take us home. The boy
who took me home seemed very gem
tlema My and when we got to my door
1 invited him to come in, which he
did. Now he has asked il he can come
over again. told him 1 would have
to let him know. Since I have never
been introduced to him, do you think
it would be all right to let him come?
DOUBTFUL.
Yes, st would be all right to let
the boy come. He felt he knew you
because you attended the same school.
Schoolmates scarcely need introduce
lions.
