Our Influence"

"To be-" says a German thinker lis

consists largely of our recognition of
the responsibility we have to those
about us. The apostle expresses 1t in
the words mo man liveth to him.
self" What our lips express does I'M
doubtedly affect Our own lives, but the
influence of what we say has also a
determining effect upon those about
lis. A kindly, generous word spoken
out of the fullness of the heart brings
comfort and JOY to those who are less
fortunate than ourselves and. by the
same token. harsh. ungcnerous word
spoken in the heat of passion shadows
and overcasts the lives of those to
whom 1t is spoken. Speaking Of the
lamentable effect produced by an idle
word, an apostle says, Behold how
great a matter a little fire kindleth."
This same writer adds. THE tongue can
no man tame; 1t is an unruly evil, full
of deadly poison" Herewith bless
we God, even the Father: and there
with curse We men, which are made
after the similitude Of God. Out of
the same mouth proceedeth blessing
and cursing." Frequently we discover
that an unconsidered word, spoken In
Jest OR without due reflection, changes
the tenor OF some ones life. blights its
hopes and renders it incompetent to
carry on. Whether We recognize 1t or
not, our lips convey to those about us
not only our deep convictions. our aims.
our purposes and our ideals, but our
evil propensities as well.
In the passage from which the above
text is taken. Jesus is speaking con-
corning the design and purpose of the
prayer that had just fallen from His
lips. He had prayed to His Father in
the words, Il thank Thee that Thou
hast heard me. And / know that Thou

But because of the people which stand

Thou hast sent me" The prayer itself
was the certif1cation of His utter one

stood by 1t must have conveyed a

BY WILLIAM HARD.

The most dramatic feature OF the
national campaign at this week end
would seem to be this:
That Gov. Smith, in order TO have
any reasonable confidence Of success
in the November election, must make
a foray of the most determined sort
into the radical agricultural North
west" stretching from Wisconsin 70
Montana.
Unless he does this, he is exposed
to the greatest peril, and since no one
questions his extraordinary astutenesS
as q political thinker, 1t would seem
almost inevitable that the States OF
Wisconsin. Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Montana will become
the scene Of a political struggle OF the
greatest intensity
The necessity of this conclusion be-
comes apparent when few figures IL
Illustrating the recent drifts of political
DEVELOPMENTS are considered. Let 1t be
supposed, to begin with, that Smith
carries the whole of the industrial
East" except Pennsylvania. Pennsyl-
vania is invincibly Republican. but let
it be supposed that Smith carries Massa-
chusettS. Rhode Island, Connecticut.
New York and New Jersey. That will
give him 80 electoral votes. The num-
Der necessary for victory in the electoral
college is 266.
u
Let is be supposed, next. that Smith
carries the whole solid South" That
he will do this entirely Is now some
times questioned. The resistance to
his wet views~-and also to his religious
faiths in some parts OF the solid
South" strongly rising tide. Smith
proposal that State governments should
be permitted to engage in the sale OF
liquors has awakened in many South
ern minds the bitter controversies
caused by the now discarded state
dispensary" system of South Carolina
1t has become manifest and indisputable
that an immense amount of Democratic
campaign energy will be diverted from
the North this year in the effort to
keep the solid South" solidly regular
Let 1t be supposed. however. that this
effort is. as II naturally should be, ulti-
mately wholly successful. Let us sup
