MANAGISG MEMORY
By r. Il. WALKER

TT IS observed that the educated
4 have, as a rule, better memory
than the uneducated. The reason for
this is obvious.
The one class exercises its capacity
for carrying things in its mind and
thus gives memory strength, endur-
ance and ability to recall events,
names or dates at moments notice,
while the other class permits memory
to become nabby and Indispensable.
Each individual has within his or
her brain certain amount of reten-
tive power, beyond which he or she
cannot go without unusual effort And
If the effort is not put forth regular
ly, with persistent determination TO
improve, memory will not of itself
make notable progress.
There are, 1t is true, native differ
ences OF retentive power.
One child is from the first capable
Of retaining impressions of all kinds
more easily than others. A child with
a good natural car for musical sounds
win be likely to retain sounds and
their SUGGESTIONS better than another
child deficient in this sense endOw-
ment and SO it goes through child
hood to old age, with memory playing
fast or loose as it has been taught
Faulty memory, if you go deeply
into its cause, you will find very fire.
quently is the result of inattention,
especially in adults who have become
absorbed in the problems of life to
the exclusion of everything else.
And these usually are the people
who habltually complain.
They have ceased to see the sun.
light or to move forward They sit
dejectedIy at the crossroads, while
others pass them and go on their way
rejoicing.
A man or woman is not better than
his or her memory.
Each may have ability, pleasing
manners and good looks, but if he or
she is deficient in memory the road
will take to nowhere save to disap-
pOlnImeHC.
The fact is that good memory is at
the base of every great success, hav-
ing for it's helpful couriers energy,
industry and probity which give to
memory strategic position from
which it cannot be shaken, even in
critical moments of stress when every
thing depends on the right move.
He who misallies himself with bad
memory, refuses to manage his mem
Dry or drill it with utmost care, which
he can do by continual practice allies
himself with failure, and in most in
stances he has nobody to blame for
his miserly incapacity and inherit
ance but his miserable self.

PICTURES
By WILL M. MAUPIN

TACK FROST can paint rare pictures
) On the window over night,
Tracing myriad forms gymnastic
With his pencil cold and white.
But the rarest, fairest picture
That high art can eer attain
Is my baby's smiling features
Framed within the windowpane.
When the fiery artist limns his
Pictures in the glowing Goals
He can touch the finest feelings
OF the most artistic souls.
But the sweetest, neatest picture (
Ever shown to mortal sight
Is my baby's smiling features
In the evening lamp alight.
When the sun god lays his colors
On the canvas of the world,
You may think earths richest treasure
To your gaze has been unfurled.
But the rarest, fairest picture
can ever hope to know
Is my baby's smiling features
With the light of love aglow.

A FEW THOUGHTS

EgOism is love in its meanest form.
Modesty and merit are handsome

Half truths often make whole trou.

A sunny thought drives away the
shadows.

To be content with less is to have
less discomfort.

Bible Talk TOdaU
III Kings II,5-I5.D

And the sons of the prophets
that were at Jericho came
to Elisha. and said unto him.
Knowcst thous that the Lord
will take away thy master
from thy head today? And
he answered. Yea l know it:
hold ye your peace.
And Elijah said unto him.
larry, l pray thee. here; for
the Lord hath sent me to
Jordan. And he said. As the
Lord livcth, and as thy soul
Iiveth, I will not leave thee.
And they two went on.
And fifty men of the sons
of the prophets went. and
stood to view afar off: and
they two went by Jordan.
And Elijah took his man
tic. and wrapped it together.
and smotc the waters. and
they were divided hither and
thither, SO that they two
went over on dry ground.
And it came to pass, when
they were gone over, that
Elijah said unto Elisha. Ask
what I shall do for thee, be-
fore ! he taken away from
thee. And Elisha said, pray
thee, let double portion OF
thy spirit be upon me.
And he said. Thou hast
asked a hard thing: ncverthc-
less. if thou see me when I
am taken from thee. II shall
he SO unto thee; but if not, il
shall not he so.
And it came to pass. as they
stu went on. and talked.
that. behold, there appeared
a chariot of fire. and horses
Of fire. and parted them both
asunder: and Elijah went up
by A whirlwind into heaven.
And Elisha saw il. and he
cried. Ny father, my father,
the chariot Of Israel, and the
horsemcn thereof. And he
saw him no more; and he
took hold of his own clothes,
and rent them in two pieces.
He took up also the man
tic of Elijah that fell from
him. and went back. and
stood by the bank of the
Jordan.
And he took the mantle Of
Elijah that fell from him. and
smotc the waters. and said.
Where is the Lord God OF
Elijah? and when he also had
smitten the waters. they
parted hither and thither:
and Elisha went over.
And when the sons of the
prophets which were to view
at Jericho saw him. they
said. The spirit of Elijah doth
rest on Elisha. And they
came to meet him, and bowed
themselves to the ground be-
fore him.

inEly important dwindle into in
significance. The servant OF God
does not ask whether the thing
to be done is little or big: he
simply asks whether ii is a duty
whether it is a thing that
should be done.
We can afford 10 leave the
consequences with God. lie We
have the faith that We ought to
have. we pray for light and then
act according TO the light that is
given us. We will not be
ashamed to take up the tasks
that others lay down. and we
need give ourselves no concern
about successors. II we arc en-
gagged in doing Gods work. sue
Ccssors will be found and drafted
into service as we ourselves
have answered to the summons.
Work OVercomes Critics.
The critics ridicule the ac-
count of the translation OF Eli
jah: they attempt TO undermine
faith in 1t and to rob il OF its
authority and influence. But
they work in vain, because the
inspiration that the lesson
brings into a single human life
outweighs the total work OF all
the critics who are whiting at
the Word OF God.
Men whose hearts have never
responded to call TO duty may
scott at Elijah's mantle; those
who will not condescend 10 take
up and carry on the unselfish ef-
forts OF others may laugh at Eli
jah: but these majestic Charac-
:ers still stride up and down
the earth arousing the sons of
men to socrifice and service.
Hearts that are open TO divine
suggestion will see in them OK
amples to be followed, and null
titudes are following.
Elijah and Elisha are among
the ''immortals" who still rule
our spirits from their urns."
