Once upon a time, when we weren't so busy,
we occasionally found time to read Browning.
The other evening, just for old times sake, we
pulled the dusty old volume from the bottom
shelf where it had stood so long neglected. 1t
opened of itself to Paracelsus and on the page
we found a penciled line about these lines. We
hope their repetition here will prompt others
who have once loved Browning to take a few
minutes to reread at least in part this poem of
the great Master Poet
II see my way as birds their track
less way.

Twas ever thus!

When everyone knows you what you have
to sell, what your prices are, where your place
of business is located, and when everyone keeps
the fact constantly in mind, your advertising job
is done. If John Wanamaker, after ten or TWEEN
ty years of large newspaper advertising in Phil
adelphia had said, Z" everybody knows me-" the
paatial trading centers in the Quaker City and
on Broadway would not now exist. The mind of
the really progressive merchant must be set to
the theory that only few possible buyers know
him and that the world is wide. Instead of hug
ging to your bosom the delusion that Everybody
knows me-" just get this straight; probably
very few know you, and even those few need to
be reminded constantly where they find you
and your goods.

THE PRESIDENT PASSES

saw him as he passed, the President
Afoot along street in Washington
Intent upon his daily exercise
Two well-armed men, one on each side of him,
Attended him with anxious, watchful
AS they must always, when he goes about
Among the people whom he lives to serve
For whose sake he must guard his gift of health;
For whom his heart must beat, his brain be clear,
His nerves keep steady and his senses keen
For us, who gaped at him as he went by,
And whispered, "There he goes-the President
He barred his head to and gravely bowed
Our chosen leader, highest among men,
Who bore, with what seemed simple dignity,
The honor we his people laid him
The honor mothers all crave for their own,
Each dreaming that at last day will come
When she shall see her son President.
stood quite close to him, as he went by,
And as he passed, 1 looked deep in his eyes
And suddenly the pleasant sunny walk,
About which young spring broke her heart in
bloom,
Seemed like the stony path that He once trod
Who bore a cross His people laid on Him .
And quick my thoughts sped to my baby's crib,
And swift my mother prayer assailed the throne:
"Oh, not this path for him, my little
Dear God, l pray you, call him not this way!"

Who passed me blythe look of Presidents

SUNDAY MORNING

TOMORROW is day Of rest with most peo-
pie. 1t should be devoted to that end.
4 People agree quite universally that one
day in seven should be set aside and devoted to
something other than ordinary toll.
But rest does not consist in mere idleness.
1t may be had in change Of activity of mind
and body. How can it be better spent than in
tranquil observance of the religion person ad-
heres to?
The week days are spent on necessary mat
erial labor One day in seven is not too much
to devote to devout consideration Of mans re-
lations with his Maker and his duties toward
Him.
This communion with the Infinite enarges
the soul and quiets it. Man may not live by
bread alone. The quiet Sabbath places him in
touch with futurity, and he places himself in
mental communion with a guiding and uplifting
providence.
The day. too, teaches each that all men are
brothers. They see a common bond among in
dividuals and peoples. The Almighty is not a
private god of person or group, but universal
God of Love. Hence the observer of the day
finds himself working to help his brother in the
toll of life This wdens his vision and enarges
his sympathies.
There are those who believe that the day
should be spent in the excitement and strife of
various games and sports. Even those who so
think will agree that much of the time should
be given to religious service and to helping one
fellow men.
As to those who believe that some other day
should be set apart, there should be neither
quarrel nor criticism. 1t is enough that they
observe one day in in honor of the Infinite,
and in the service of humanity.
Sunday is the day of all days when the mind
should be purified with thoughts of good will,
of brotherhood, of federation. 1t is the day of
all days when fear should be dispelled and open
faced confidence hand in hand with love should
hold the stage.
So tomorrow, when the Sabbath bells are
pealing, each one should have in mind those
words whose meaning was and continues and
will forever continue to be-Serve the Lord ARD
love thy neghbor-Duluth Herald.

A college student at Williams College

A college student at Williams College
in 1912 wrote this in his diary: To-day
we pursued no studies, but rather made
merry with a girl school which came in
a body for dancing, and frolicking of all
sorts. And till late at night we barn
danced and polka'd, and such was the at
traction that We thought no more of
books and learning but contended our
sorts. These females are queer lot,
but they are fine after books and Greek
authors

If you travel outside Minnesota this sum-
mer you will probably pay a gas tax to help
build roads in some other state. All but twelve
of the forty-eight states are evying a gas
tax. The proposed gas tax amendment to the
constitution ought to win big majority this fall,
because it will bring revenue from nonresident
tourists who use our roads, and through the
amendment they will pay for them.-St Charles

However, it would take some time
for mankind to become accustomed to
mechanical and absent treatment of
this kind.
The thought of submitting to
ghostly sort of service is rather dis
turbing.
But at the rate the world is pro-
crossing in the sciences and the util-
ization of them, an idea that may
seem fantastic today becomes a sue
cessful reality on the morrow.

The Duluth Herald is running a series of
short articles by the authors of popular books
these authors giving the reason why he or she
in each case wrote the book. Many are the

idence to the extent Of admitting that the book
was written because it's parent needed the money

Cecil, Bishop of Exeter.
We would ask the worthy Bishop, if we had
the chance, why he would limit this salute of
the cradle to the girls. If the sanctity of the
cradle is violated-and it is-it assuredly is not
altogether because of the remissness of the
female sex. We have an idea that a careful
survey of the matter would reveal that the
Mothers of Men, or even the potential mothers
are not the chief offenders.

"Old time attorneys shudder at this

there are other strong men in the field

Jewish community. These hopes have
extended over period of 20 years.
The occasion marks the beginning of
a new era in our welfare activities.
1t reassures US of the undiminshed
spiritual values which characterize
our Jewish life.
THE late Morris Levy, our be-
loved leader in this work, by his
good will and munificent contribution,
transformed the hopes and dreams of
many years into a reality. and yet he
was forbidden the joy of sharing in
that realization. 1t is a manifestation
Of the community's gratitude and in
reverence Of his memory, that his
widow turns the first earth on this
site.
Not only by its special American
ization activities but by making bet
ter Jews and consequently better
American citizens, will this institu-
tion render a valuable service to our
city, state and country.
The ste of the new Jewish COM
