COMMAND YOURSELF
BY James Hay, Jr.

Self-sacriice is not always a
virtue.
There is more power in the
cultivation of self-denial than in
the qualification of all the desires
of the heart"
The man who sacrifices himself
to meet his obligations and do his
duty is the big man.
Frequently a mother slaves all
day and far into the night for
her children, but she neither en-
mobiles herself nor helps the chill
dren. She ministers to her selfish
love and spoils her children by
pampering them, leaving them
ignorant of their duty to her.
When a demand is made on
you for self-sacrifice, scrutinize it
carefully. If you desire to obey
it, examine your motives. =
You have your life to live and
yourself to develop. Nobody else
can do it for you. :.
If you serve for love and serve
sanely, you are big.
If you serve unwillingly, sub
hitting to tyranny, you are one
Of LIES easy marks.
IT'S the good reader that makes
the good book. Emerson.
Convince a man against his will;
he's of the same opinion still
Gay.
He that loses his conscience has
nothing left that is worth keep
ing.-Walton.
That life is long which answers
life's great end. -Young.
The church of today must not
only hold services; it must render
service. Rev. H. H. Proctor.
Fight only for things big enough
to be principle of protection to
others. Chief Longseuce. (Indian)
It is absurd to expect great
new social agency to come into
use without abuse. Almost in
variably abuse is the concomitant
of use. Allen d. Albert.

The dangers of goodness ARE

The dangers of goodness are
insidious. To try to be good
would seem innocent enough. The
only rule about it that seems to
me of real value is that one can
afford to be only so good as his
disposition will bear sweetly; so
many people are little better than
the traffic will bear.-Most of us
must exercise care in this matter
of goodness. Very few people can
endure to the end. For most of
us there is strain about our at
tempts at stoicism that is not as
perfect as the quiet endurance
that does not set its teeth at all,
and yet bears. The absence of
strain is truly the essence of art.

Some Thoghts on Goodness.

Men in general loving one an

prey of the weak; the many would

mean; and the deceitful would not
impose upon the simple.-Mo III,

Not Flat,erine

As a result of this study says the author. certain conclusions. mol alto gether hattering to the country editor, are suggested. Certain faults of eoun- try editing are made strikingly appar- ent. The analysis method employed has shown these in way that super feial observation or even reasonably careful reading of the papers would not make evident But with the faults of the weekly newspaper made thus obvious. the way Co their correction IS at the same time suggested. It Is not expected that many editors will pur- sue the analysis of their own papers with the detail that IS employed here. but a careful reading of the points in- volved in the discussion should create an attitude that will be of value to the editor. Many of the faults that are pointed out he will see in his own pub lieation, and understand the wisdom of correcting He will recognize that the evidence presented here Is not pro duced out of prejudice and bias, but comes from the careful application of an accurate method of measuring the contents of newspapers.
