was found, a manly looking youth.
l asked about his mother. With a
choking voice, after repeated
efforts, his eyes blinded with tears,
he replied, Il have never seen my
mother" He was the boy His
mother was taken from him in the
days of infancy, but Gods great
love had followed him doubtless
in answer to mothers prayers.
and he was found on one of the
lonely islands of the sea.
Thus it is GODS love is longer
than the longest journey. Just as
the sun shines on us, the air we
breathe, the birds with their
sweet songs, the flowers with their
sweet Fragrance and beauty are
for all of us, so Our Fathers saw
ing grace. manifested in His love,
is for all of us. In everything we
are enriched by Him, and thus
while many of us labor oftimes in
fields where there is no reward
no appreciation, we know
"If to some soul we can bring a
little light,
IF some pathway we can render
bright;
IF to some one in gloom we can
show the sunny side,
IF no reward we win, we shall be
satisfied"
For it is in this way we show
our love to Him, because He first
loved US"

GO TO WORK

Go to work! knowledge does not
come from impressive books, but
from the principle of working out
these theoretical truths in actual
practice.
The world is overpopulated with
people who work harder killing time
than they would have to work if they
used time intelligently. The efforts
of such people are reminiscent of
the old horse once used in the brick
yards to mill the clay. Round and
round the circle he went, getting
nowhere. A merry-go-round is
rollicking sport for children, but
when adults do a lot of travelling
they like to feel that they have been
somewhere.
Do not wait for something to turn
up and happen. Make things hap
pen. The precious gift of the gods
is initiative-the ability to start
something and keep it going. In the
business world this gift commands
the highest wage. In all of life the
initiator of new outlets for the bub-
bling spirit of man is benefactor.
Everywhere today the call is for
the man who can make himself busy
in new ways to reach old ends. The
burden of civilization is he who
means we'll, but means well feebly.
Milford chronicle., 1927-07-22

ty as the reckless driver. One can
not gauge him, one never knows
what he is going to do"
True of driving, true of life in
general. The fellow who cannot
make up his mind throws all our
plans awry. He will give us a deci-
sion by such and such day. We
build upon that expectation and
when the day arrives he is still un-
decided. When he nally does decide
the chances are that the scales Of
his judgment have been inclined one
way or the other through the con-
sideration of a minor point and not
because of a clear analysis of the
situation
The only way to deal with the
hesitant driver is to watch him or,
better still, to pull around and get in
front of him. The only way to deal
with the hesitant type in general is
to analyze your man, if he falls into
this class, make due allowances. To
depend on him in matters of impor-
tance is to build on shifting sands.

The American Medical Associa
tion has expressed dissatisfaction
with the existing regulations cover
ing the administration of intoxicat-
ing liquors as medicine.
If these restrictions are unreason-
able they should be changed.
The Constitution provides for the
necessities of the medical profess
sion, and the administration of the
law will not be out of sympathy
with that provision.
The medical profession and the
American Medical Association itself
is on record clearly indicating to
the laity that the profession in gen.
eral holds the opinion expressed by
DR.. Reid Hunt, of the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service, "It
seems to me that the field of useful
ness of alcohol in therapeutics is
extremely limited, and possibly does
not exist at ALL"
No greater blow could be struck
at the prestige of the medical pro-
fession than the release of medicin-
al liquors from governmental re-
striction. Weak or unprincipled, not
to say disreputable, physicians
would seize the opportunity to build
large incomes upon whiskey proc
tice, and the whole profession would
shortly be discredited.
An incident illustrates: Several
weeks ago, the writer, consulting his
occulist, was told, "I'll show, you
how little I think of liquor. Here is
a whiskey prescription that my doc
tor gave me just as an accommoda-
tion, two months ago, and haven't
had it ll1ed yet" This physician
was possibly of a relatively high
type, but it is obvious that if no linn
it were placed upon a man with no
keener sense of responsibility, the
entire profession would suffer great
ly in prestige.
There must be, and doubtless will
be, a thorough understanding and
sympathetic cooperation between
the government and high-minded
physicians.

Milford society has not yet sue
cumbed to summer somnolence
Just when beginning to doze off
each time it has been reused by the
visit or return of someone from out

made the occasion of a round of in
formal hospitalities. There was
Mrs. J.. G. Constable, of Elkton, well
known here as the former Miss
Rose Drennen, who first as the
guest of Miss Mary Smith, and later
while visiting Mrs. George w. Mar
shall, received so much attention.

were given. Mrs. Marvel Wilson
was the guest of honor at bridge
party given by her mother, it will
be remembered, and Mrs. Bessie

NEW CITIZENS ASSOCIATION

(EdltOrlaI EVERY Evening July I'D
The purpose of the Delaware Cit
izens' Association, recently formed
to carry on educational welfare
work started by the Service Citizens
of Delaware, will be defeated if its
appeal for an extensive statewide
membership should go unheeded.
The laudable object of the organiza-
ton, it is believed, will prove a real
incentive for a large number of per-
sons to enroll as members. Their
help is needed, and as the dues are
nominal, SIS year, ready responses
to the appeal are looked for.
1t is the hope of the president,
former Congressman William H.
Boyce, of Dover, and those who are
aiding him in launching the project
to have an organization that will be
of real service to the educational in
terests of the whole state. At the
moment the chief aim is encour-
age the friendly relations already
built up between the school and the
home and stimulate school attend
ance. The movement is already
we'll organized in nearly every
school district in the state, but it
needs the help of just such body
as is proposed if it is to retain its
vigor and continue to be the effec-
tive aid to education that has been.
With the financing of school build
ing projects or meeting the operat-
ing expenses of the schools the new
organization has nothing to do, un-
less from time to time its advice
may be sought. No arduous task is
planned or contemplated. But the
association has a very definite job,
which, if carried out, will not only
keep the educational standard in
Delaware up to where it is now, but
send it to an even higher level. 1t
has to do with the future Of the
coming men and women of the state.
Therefore energy spent in their be-
half certainly will not be wasted.
Milford chronicle., 1927-07-22
SELF VALUATION

Without ostentation man should
value himself more highly than is
his wont. 1t is one of mans faults
that he undertakes himself, lacks
confidence in his ability and admits
to himself that he cant" 1t is
possible to know thyself, and for
man to achieve something worth
while in this world he must believe
in himself for his full worth.
"Swell-headedness" is applied to
persons who affect qualities unpos-
sessed. One can he self-confident
without being complacent and pre-
suming. Man may know himself
without letting others know he
he knows himself, that in truth, is
the secret of success among men.
The higher mans valuation of
himself, the more his compassion
and charity for his fellowmen. There
is no condeScension in his manner
because realizing value in himself
he unconSciously seeks out values
in others.
One cannot expect the world to
count him as of intrinsic worth if he
himself does not recognize that
worth. The valuation which we put
upon ourselves cannot be concealed
from the world. 1t becomes so much
a part of our thought structure and
our very personality that it plainly
manifests itself in our words and
acts. Unostentatious self-confidence
is natural expression of personal
evaluatioa. Vain boasting is a
cloak to conceal natural weakness
and failings. He who brags is pain
fully aware of his shortcomings;
otherwise he would be conscious of
nothing to boast about.
Self-confidence is the recognition
of shortcomings overcome. Boast
ing is the recognition of shortcom-
ings to be overcome.
