"a bi-product Of this depression"
remarked a minister friend the other
day, "is the seeming disappearance
of the sympathetic interest in indi-
vidual cases growing out of the pres
ent universal condition. Owing to
the vast number, organized welfare
is compelled TO think of the whole
mass, rather than the individual"
This, to a great extent, is I'M
doubtedly true. Yet, incidents do
occur which disprove this general
statement. .......
You will remembers that last Sun
day was a thoroughly disagreeable
day-very cold with a penetrating
wind. But, notwithstanding the
natural impulse to remain in pleas
ant surroundings, and disregarding
personal comfort, one of the fast dis
appearing ladies of the old school of
applied Christianity, of Oakland,
braved the slippery roads of the
Park, and the biting winds, to carry
hot, tempting dinner to sick
girlhood friend. We wonder who got
the greater kick-the good Samari-
tan or the sick friend?
This incident recalls an inscription
below the bust of Albert Pike in the
House Of the Temple in Washington,
which reads: "What we have done
for ourselves alone dies with us;
what we have done for others and
the world remains and is immortal"
We were an unwilling listener to
a rather amusing conversation at the
post office the other morning. Two
men, both apparently having forti-
fed themselves against the biting
wind, and one in some quarters sus-
pected of being engaged in the
manufacture of the Identification,
were discussing the prohibition
question. The suspected manufac-
turer remarked, "Bill, what we need
is good beer; this .---shine is
too strong" ..
Which somehow reminds us of the
story of the young wife who inquired
of her milk man whether he had any
calves on his farm. He replied he
had. The young mother said, "Well,
you had better bring me some calf
milk, as I think your cows milk is
too strong for baby
Referring to the item last week
about the first cottages built at the
Park in 1882, two summer residents
have written to ask us to publish
short sketches of the pioneers Of Mt.
Lake, appending their present ad-
dress, if living, and if dead the date
of their death. Well, if we can Sc
cure the date, we will-if the editor
will.
