While it may be all right from a
standpoint of charity the Herald be-
lieves that bolstering up the failure of
a man or business is poor economics
to say the least. 1t does no good. If
a business or man cannot stand the
pressure of economic life it must be
because the elements of success are
not present These elements find
their root in the years of endeavor
and frugality before the career is
launched The sound principles once
established persist as matter OF
habit. We have seen men and lnstl-
tutions backed and backed to inevita-
bly, lose out. We have also seen
struggling men getting stronger and
stronger without backing, except the
deserving support their efforts merit
ed. No-giving in case of the kind
should be considered as charity and
not as sound business.

Some people vaguely discuss the To-
cation of heaven as some place in the
skies, little realizing, perhaps, that
God is in their hearts every minute of
their lives. He walks with us in our
consciences showing the way even
though the human tendency is to
smother His still, small voice. He i'm
pells us to do and dare and to strug-
gle hopefully even though each of us
knows the inevitable end. But we as
pire on because God is with us. We
may differ over creeds but we cannot
differ over the presence of God in the
world Who doubts this or disputes
it?

The Herald would certainly be OPP
posed to leasing the municipal theatre
to some promoter. This is talked of
from time to time. The thing TO do is
to support the committee in various
ways and to patronize the house and

made useful in countless ways.
