Playing a conspicuous part in the
religious progress of this country is
the Gideons (The Christian CONNER
cial Travellers Association of Amer
ica) organized July !, 1899, and with
offices at Chicago, Ill.
The purpose of this organization Is
"To band together the Christian travel
ers of America, and through them win
the commercial travellers, for the glory
of God. To supply every hotel in this
country with a Bible for each guest
room. To prepare the hearts of travel
ers for the acceptance of salvation"
The weary travellers may thus gain
spiritual refreshment when they re-
tire to their rooms after a hard day
engaging in life's battles, and per-
haps coming in contact with the ma
teriality so apparent in every large
American city.

We are sometimes accused of deny
ing one month what we wrote the pre-
viOus month
This IL natural. Don't you often
find yourself subscribing to a viewpoint
one day, and defying it the nextY
For instance, today, feeling mean,
we might say, 1.-TWO and two are four
there's no use trying to breathe
poetry into arithmetic" Tomorrow,
having had a good nights sleep ana
the weather having changed, we might
say, anyone who says that two and
two always make four is a stick and
is missing half the joy Of life" we
could make a good argument for either
sentiment.
One man will go on a fishing trip
down Current river and will enjoy
every minute of it. He is thrilled by
the wildness, the outdoor life, the
rough contact with nature.
Another man, a member of the same
party, measures the hours until he can
get back home. He counts his scratches
and his mosquito bites; he resents the
discomforts of sleeping without a mat
tress; he hates the sight Of greasy
frying pans and he dislikes to eat with
his fingers.
Both tell the story of the trip to
their friends, and each tells a truth
full story. Each is interesting.
Our idea is to present in this column
thoughts that pass through the mind
of the editor. We frankly admit we
think differently ON some days than
we do on others.
There is, for instance, the question
of luck. Generally, we are disposed to
deny the influence of luck in shaping
mans life. We prefer to encourage
people to rely ON themselves, to guard
against dependence on the smile of
fate. However, we occasionally OBJ
serve that certain successes can be ex-
planned only by giving a large share
of the credit to luck. We do not hesi-
tate to note these examples when they
come to our attention. We have no
fixed credo. Our mind is open to new
ideas, new thoughts. We pass these
along and let the reader reach his own
conclusions.
