specific results is to stimulate the
power to act. II Is an imperative agent
of action, since no one of his own vo-
lition does anything he has absolutely
no wish~or desire to do. Immediately
the desire is created, the human self
starter is in readiness te>work. To wish
hard enough is to succeed, for 1t re-
leases the energy necessary to fire the
engine of human endeavor. 1t forces
one to work at an end.
Wishing can induce enough power to
move mountains Of obstacles. The en-
gineer who first had the desire to forge
his way across Switzerland without
scaling the Alps found a way of tun-
neling through them to get to the other
side of the mountains, and his desired
result was accomplished. He moved the
obstacles in his path without destroying
any beauty. He saw his way to the
other side first and then set to work
to follow his creative wish.
Few Of us have such stupendous bar
riers in the way of success in our
wishes. although they may appear
mountainous. If we are eager enough
we can force our way, metaphorically
shovelful by shovelful. through them
and gain our goal. Desires and wishes
need not be idle dreams. They can be
self-starters.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Deja WI.

Children smetimes mistake their
dreams for reality. Adults often mis-
take their day-dreams for reality. We
also often confuse our ideas and no.
tions, beliefs and disbeliefs, hopes and
fears with reality.
In this way we come to have lot
of false memories, which psyche
analysts grcs.D under the name "deja
w." BY "deja WI" one understands a
Justification of memory in which a per-
son thinks he has already experienced
the present experience. For instance
you are walking along the streets of a
strange city and all at once you feel
sure you have been there before.
Every normal person has had such
an experience at some time in his life.
Boys and girls before the age of 20
have lot of such false memories. They
even get the notion that they might be
losing their minds. They worry great
deal about it, but rarely tell any one
They are the dreamers in the grammar
grades and high school,
When "deja WI" persists into adult
life, 1t is generally associated with
poetic sentiments. Wordsworth wrote
his "Intimations on Immortality dur
ing period of recurrent false men,
cries. For him "our birth is but a sleer
and forgetting" Plato and all the
other "previous-existence" philosophers
founded their theories on this rather
common experience of everyday life.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN n. GUM.

Reaching forth unto those things
which are before me."-Phil., ILLS.
"Amplius!" That was the dying
xaviers last word. Translated, 1t
means further afleld." This had been
Xavier's motto in life, and it was his
motto in death.
Further af1eld" is the motto of all
noble life. The men who live nobly
and achieve noble things are men who
are forever going onward further
afield" in pursuit of larger life and
larger usefulness. Like Paul, they are
ever reaching forth unto things before
them" They have before them some
purpose, or some ideal, which dominates
their hearts and draws their whole be-
Ing toward 1t. This is true of success
ful men in every line-saint preacher
statesman, the professional man, scien-
tlst. artist, man of letters, man of at
fairs.
A nationally known parsonage, whose
daily writings are said to be read by
millions. advises us in q recent article
not to have an ideal to work for. II a
man has no ideal to work for, he Is not
likely to do much work When a man
comes to the point where he has moth
ing before him toward which he is
reaching forth, he loses his freshness
and vigor. and there settles down upon
him a deadly indifference. AS some
one has said, ITO live is to aspire: to
cease to aspire is to die" We might rs
well die when We cease to have before
us an ideal to work for; In the higher
sense of living we are dead already.
Our friend above quoted says the
trouble about having an ideal is that
1t keeps you pursuing mirage-"wllen
you get there 1t amt there" Better
that 1t should not be there. Better
that it should keep receding before us
as we approach 1t. like the end of the
rainbow with its legenSary bag of gold
The ideal unattained, ever reckoning us
on. sustains us and keeps us going. The
hope of lettering our best keeps us
doing our best. The thing that quick
ems US and keeps us In the race of life
is the constant reaching forth after the
unattained ideal. When your ideal goes,
the zest of life is gone. If you want to
