THE LOOM OF TIME
By H. Addington Bruce

~ ICH or poor, lettered or unIettered en-
! X ployer or employe, there is one task
- which everybody has to do, and which
| he had to do all his days. He perforce begins
draws his last breath does his labor at 1t
cease.
| The greatest idler in the world cannot
evade this task.
He may fatter himself that he escapes
work. in the sense that he is without settled
occupation. Yet in his LATEST moments he is
busily engaged, albeit perhaps without being
| in the least aware of this, in toiling at the
one task it is the common lot of all to per-
form.
That task is putting a distinctive, an in
dividual pattern into the gigantic fabric God
has set mankind to weave on the loom of
time.
1t is a fabric made up of the most intangl-
Bile of materials, yet materials so tough that
once a single strand is inserted as it should
not be, effort truly herculean Is needed to
prevent the weaver's special pattern from ap-
pearing as an ugly bemsh in the design of
the whole. Feelings and desires, thoughts
and words actions of all sorts, are the ma
teriaIs employed, and wondrous is the abun-
dance of these from which every weaver can
choose.
Choice is made some sort of choice, every
moment of every hour of waking life.
It is made whether one is in solitude or in
the densest of throngs. It is made in every
response to the varying situations in which
one finds ones self throughout the earthly
pilgrimage.
According as the response is governed by
love hate, generosity or greed, unselfsh-
ness or selfshness kindness or cruelty, 10y
atty or treachery, honesty or dishonesty, up
rightness or baseness, the choice is for good
or for ill., If the choosing is consistently and
continuously for i'll, the pattern one weaves
is bound to become so hideous as to alright
even the weaver when the day of the great
inspection at last arrives.
And be sure there will be such day The
loom of time not given man to work upon
as one gives child toy for his amusement.
Nor was man himself brought into the world
as child might bring soap bubble into
heeting, purposeless existence.
Heed not those, however vociferously they
speak in the name of science, who affirm the
soap-bubble doctrine of man and the universe.
Heed not the cynics maintaining the futiIity
of homan striving. Heed not the apostles of
the pleasure gospel.
The prophets and the poets have a far
clearer vision of truth than they, far frmer
grasp of reality:
Life? and worth living?
Yes, with each part of Us ~-

FLIVVERING WITH
BRALEY
THE GETAWAY
BY BERTON BRALEY

BY BERTON BRALEY
T HERE were bags and trunks and cases
slowed about in many places,
There were packages all wound
around with string,
But the sturdy little fivver carried all that
we could give her
Though the load was tensely straining
every spring.
SO we started on our cumming with the
motor smoothly humming
And the chill Of northern winter In the
air;
We had heard the southland calling with
wizardry enthralling
And we hit the trail that leads the
rover there.
TT was raining, showing, sleetlng, and
the elements kept beating
On the windshield and the curtains
and the top;
But it only helped remind us that we soon
would leave behind us
All this ice and snow and dreariness and
slop.
So we skidded and we spattered on our
way and nothing mattered
Save the fact that we were going far
away,
From the land of breezes frigid where your
hands and feet grow rigid
To the sunny land of everlasting May.
~ VERY fiber of the fivver seemed de-
II lightfully to CULVER
~ With the gypsy joy of rowing on
the road;
And with the motor of our Lizzie kept con-
tinuously busy
We had started her to going-and she
goed
She knew somehow what the trip meant;
and although our camp equipment
Caused the lookerS-on to cachinate and
scott,
Lizzie plugged along quite happy at speed
exceeding snappy-
We were started, we were going, we
were off.

ACTORS. AND RELIGION
BY DR.. Frank Crane

The news was flashed across the continent
the other day and considered to be of suffi-
cient Importance to be front PACED by the
newspaper that Fred Stone, a favorite actor
tana, while travelling on the road.
This, of course, is largely Mr.. Stones
private and personal business, and the only
excuse for mentioning it here is that it has
already been widely published.
1t arouses, however, several reflections.
In the first place, newspapers seek prin-
cipally the unusual. The usual is not news.
The implication of this is that nothing you
see played up as a special news feature in
the paper is true as a generality. For the
very fact that it is mentioned shows that it is
out of the ordinary run of things
The conclusion from this would be that
the actor who is religious is rare bird.
Whether statistics bear this out or not, we
are not prepared to discuss, but in the nature
of the case it ought not to be an extraordi-
nary thing that an actor should be strictly
moral man or even devoted mystic
AS a matter of fact, there is no other
worker that needs the foundation of an in
telligent faith or the stimulus of a great
mystical emotion much as the actor
His temptation is to be artificial. Posing
all of the time at his work upon the stage
he is under strong pressure to keep up his
posing when he is off the stage. Thus there
is steady force exerted upon him to lead an
artificial and insincere life
1t goes without saying that many actors
successfully resist this influence and are
both unaffected in manner and entirely self
controlled in their mode of life
Another thing that makes for looseness in
morals among actors Dis that they are not
surrounded by the conventional barriers
which exist in most other professions
But the third and most important element
that tends to lower the moral standard of
the actors profession is the fact that people
expect them to be immoral and that church
members and social leaders look upon them
askance
, The tendency of any man is to be about
what you expect him to be-
That all these forces are resisted and that
many members of the theatrical profession
are quite as reputable and even as religious
as persons in any other calling is undoubted-
ly true.

Very well!' He dashed down the stairs
