Origin of Emotions.
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Some 80 years ago psychologists were
committed to the superstition of in
herited traits. They all taught that
We got our emotions from an ancient
ancestry. They exploited this theory
until 1t just broke down under its own
weight of accumulated sueSses and sup
positions.
Nowadays our leading psychologists
teach that we are the original @eser-
voirs Of every emotion we possess. Our
ancestors fashioned our bodies but not
our minds. They tell us that our emo
tional makeup Is pretty likely to be
connected with our early experiences.
These early experiences seem to crop
up again and again with q regularity
that looks like inheritance. Somehow
they get woven into the patterns of
personality. We are emotionally alike
only in so far as our joys, sorrows,
hopes, fears, ambitions and diSappoint-
mentS are similar. These are the emo
ton makers for every one
The justification for this new theory
of emotions is based upon the fact that
many cases of emotional disturbance
have been cured through the rather
simple process Of getting the sufferer
Strengthened out on his early memories.
The logic Of the new theory is reason
able. If emotional kinks can be rea-
soned away, it follows that they must
have been established In those early
days when we were not able to think
straight about our experiences.

Habit.
It is fitting now and then to turn to
the great masters of psychology and
read what they have to say about the
important aspects of human nature.
William James is generally rated as
Americas greatest psychologist. "He
wrote psychology like novelist" And
here is what he had to say about habit:
Habit is the enormous fly-wheel of
society, its most precious conservative
agent. 1t alone is what keeps us all
within the bounds of ordinance. It
alone prevents the hardest and most
repulsive walks of life from being de-
serted by those brought up to tread
therein. 1t keeps the fisherman and
the deck hand at sea through the VIM
ter. 1t holds the miner In his darkness
and nails the coutnryman to his log
the months Of snow, it protects US from
invasion by the natives Of the desert
and the frozen zone. It dooms us to
fight out the battle of life upon the
lines Of our nurture or our early choice
and to make the best Of pursuit that
disugrees, because there is no other for
which We are fitted, and it Is too late
to begin again. It keeps different So
cial strata from mixing. It Is well for
the world that in most of us, by the
age OF 80, the character is set like plas-
ter and will never soften again"

A Sermon for Today
Chambers of Imagery.
BY REV. JOHN N. GUM.

Hast thou seen what the ancients Of
the house of Israel do in the dark, every
man in the chambers Of his imagery
Eek. viii,12.
We need not concern ourselves with
the original application of these words.
The walls of those chambers Of imagery,
referred to by the prophet, were all
painted with animal forms-"creeping
things and ABDOMINAL beaSts"-to which
these ancients of the house of Israel
were bowling down. BY our desires, and
by our imagination, we are forever
painting the walls In the Utmost cham
bers Of our hearts with such pictures.
And what foul idolatries we commit be-
fore these picturesl
There are chambers Of imagery which
we all carry in our hearts. How care
full we should be as to what we paint
upon those mystic wallsl The young,
especially, should exercise the most
earnest caution, for the figures we trace
there In youth remain through life.
Our youthful evils, the sins of our boy
hood, the pruriences Of our earlier days,
will live in our chambers of imagery
so long as we live. They are photo-
graphed on our hearts In memory-pic-
lures that no tears Of repentance can
wipe out.
Here is a solemn thing. What you
love, what you desire, what you think
about, you are photographing on the
walls of your immortal soul. What II
the pictures you are photographing on
your soul were made visible? Would
you be ashamed to look at them? Would
you be ashamed to have them seen by
your friends and dear ones? Would
they reveal bestial forms Of vile thoughts
and vulgar passions? Would they ex-
pose panorama Of mean things, low
things? Are these the sort of things
with which you are lining the walls Ia
your chambers of imagery, and before
which you bow down In the dark? It
Is SO, II these are the sort of things you
think about and love. May God de-
liver us from such debasing idolatriesI

During his last illness Louis XXI of
France, bored by human beings, relied
much On the companionship Of his dogs.
Rats and mice were brought into his
chamber and let loose that he might
have the sport of watching his terriers
chase and catch them. In order that
the game might attain the highest de-
gree of skill, agents of the King secured
the kingdom for the best rat-catchers.
From his couch the declining Louis
applauded as vigorously as his condition
would permit
This imperious and crafty monarch
found a lot of time for animal friend
ships. Ever warning with Charles the
Bold of Burgundy and Macmillan of
Austria, and busy in his efforts to con-
solidate the French monarchy and put
an end to feudalisrn, he still found OPP
portunity to interest himself in vast
numbers of pets, particularly canine
ones.
He owned dogs of every race and
every nation. Persons who wished to
curry favor with him gave him fine
dogs.
The Seneschal de Breze sent him the
best trained rabbit dog In the king

Ambassador. made him present Of six
blooded puppies. Five fine rabbit dogs
arrived from the King OF Scotland.

Cash on Hand.

Among the folks who have been bene-
tited by a constantly improving bond
market have been woman investors with
cash on hand" Some women have
been buying good securities with money
accumulated in savings accounts.
Talking to savings bank officials. we
learn that an increasing number of
their depositors is coming to them TO
be advised about which securities to
buy. This is as it should be, and as
this department has long advocated.
Such women have real honest-to-
goodness cash in their hands. Their
resources are so extensive that invest
ment bankers are sitting up and taking
notice.
Although cash-on- hand is being
withdrawn by woman investors for adj
vantageous purchases of high-grade
securities, as much money is pouring
into the depleted accounts. Saving is
a habit that does not cease when one
invests.
In years time the mutual savings
banks of this country have added a
total of more than $3.50, 1000 900 in de-
posits. During the same time, national

AND THEIR CHILDREN.

We have never taught our children to
save money just in order to have money
in the bank. I would rather they
knew how to spend their money wisely
and that necessitateS saving. When
they were quite small we gave each Of
them an allowance and the very first
penny they had they ran to the store
for q stick of candy. Going out Of the
store some other desired object was
usually seen. explained to them that
If they would save their pennies for o
certain number Of days that toy might
be purchased. Even q fodder can
grasp this lesson and 1t has been g
great advantage to our children to know
how to spend and when to spend. The
older children all have q neat little
bank account so do not feel that they
have learned to be spendthrifts through
our policy Of advising them how to
spend their money.

This holds good in every field-School

But especially remember it is true in
social situations. All children have not
the power to enter a room and make

child shying away from company, help
him. Let him carry in q tray of re-
