"Charity" Much More
Than Material Help

Charity Is q much abused word.
There are many persons who believe
Its contamination is the mere giving
Of money. There are others who be-
lieve that its demands have been full
filled when helping hand has been
given to person in distress. They
confound charity with compassion
There are still others who conceive 1t
as something like an irksome duty that
must be performed, and the sooner the
better.
But real charity goes deeper than
any Of these things. A man may find
satisfaction in giving portion Of his
wealth to the establishment of an in
stitute of public benefit; but charity
has not flooded his heart until he has
recognized the good that is in the
worst of his enemies. When he has
done that, he has risen far above the
Importance of public benefactions. He
has demonstrated that his spirit is
nobler than those things from which
his riches were gained.
A man UuIluS a ulSJTcSSlul clIlGI-
gency in which a fellow mortal is
thrown, may find satisfaction in giving
him temporary relief; but this act of
Kindness becomes inconsequentlal COM
pared with his effort to see in an
enemy even the broken light of Good.
His kindness becomes insignificant
when 1t is compared with his forgive.
ness Of heavy wrong that has been
inflicted upon him, for forgiveness is
one of the noblest forms Of charity.
Charity in its truest sense belongs
to that indefinable quality in man
which distinguishes him from the rest
OF earth's creatures. In practice, 1t is
powerful enough to move a world into
the splendid circles of brotherhood and
observation-disclosures Ledger.

Auiator's Story Old
to Enoch and Elijah

An aviator who had broken the
worlds altitude record, but who had
lost his life in the attempt, was sit
ting on celestial corner telling a
wide-eyed circle of friends of his ex-
plot. He described at length the
thrills and the crash which had
brought about the end. A wing had
broken, and he had gone jerkily down
through space, webbing like the
bonneville trolley, and had landed
with fatal crash in city street. His
words held his hearers spellbound, for
it Is not given every man to die an
adventurous death, and as he talked
on passersby stopped to join the crowd
which had gathered around him. Final
ly the talker noticed two old men with
long, flowing boards moseying slowly
up the street. They stopped to learn
what the excitement was, shrugged
their shoulders, smiled amusedly, and
passed on.
"Who are these two old birds?"
asked the aviator, somewhat cha
grined.

you know them? That's Enoch and

Warfare of the Future

Wars of the future will be more
ike those of primitive times by rea-
son Of the universal character Of con-
scription. In ancient days the whole
tribe fought, even women, children
and old men hurled stones at Caesars
legionnaires at the time Of the con-
quest of Gaul. In the next war the
whole population will be engaged,
without regard to age or SEX" as the
new French defense law puts it. Wom-
ell will be modified, not for fighting
service lin the beginning" but for
work behind the front. The old peas
ant on the slopes Of the Alps or Py-
renees will be as much subject to
aerial attacks as the soldier at the
front. For the enemy is going to
work on the same principle, it is ex-
pected, that is without regard to
age or SEX" Parliament passed the
law unanimously, with the exception
of the Communists. The only lively
debate was occasioned by the clause
that members of parliament might
be liable for active service.-Pierre
Van Paassen, in Atlanta Constitution.

One Form of Salute
That Franklin Liked

1T was charming to see the en-
braces Of Scion and Sophocles," wrote
John Adams, present when Benjamin
Franklin and Voltaire were introduced
to each other at the French Academy
Of Sciences. After they were intro
duced they bowed and spoke, but there
was no satisfaction among the audi
ence; it expected something more,
Adams wrote. Neither of the philos-
ophers seemed to divine what was
wished or expected, but they took each
other by the hand awkwardly and
stood there. But this was not enough;
the clamor continued until the ex-
PLANTATION came out-they were ex-
pected to embrace after the French
fashion. The two thereupon embraced
each other and kissed each others
cheeks and then the tumult subsidized.
Franklin, however, once said that the
only really enjoyable fete rendered
him by the French was the one where,
as the apostle of liberty, he was hon.
ored by having the most beautiful of
3OO women designated to place
wreath on his head and to give him
two kisses.-Kansas City Times.

System Failed

The mother looked weary. "Trying

and he was to tramp to the laundry
with his collars. Son was to- put his
own buttons on his shirts and keep
his chiffonier in order. Daughter was
to wash her own silk stockings, take
her own shoes to the cobbler's.
And so on, each member of the
family was to do for himself. And
