of persons who cannot hear well it is
a practical aide to effective communica-

never can be of much avail unless it
has the cooperation of the speaker.
Again there is the psychological atti-

Gently has become hard of hearing it is
a Oppressive condition. The victim may
be unhappy; even melancholy. Recov-
cry Of normal spirits rests in the hands

there are worse fates than that of being

showed an interest in public affairs. A
notable case are the two sons of the
late Senator La Toilette Of wisconsin,
one of whom occupies the seat which the
senior La Toilette held for so many years
in the Senate and the other is Governor
of his State, an Office also held at one
time by the late Senator.
The Junior Henry Cabot Lodge is
thirty-three years of age, three years
older than the present Senator La
Toilette when he entered the Senate. 1t
is, of course, possible that he may be
defeated for the senatorial nomination
or, If he should win the nomination, that
he should be defeated in the general
election. His grandfather met defeat in
his first effort to come to Washington as
member of Congress. The Lodges have
stamina. A defeat next year would not
end his trying, nor would it be accepted
as an augury for defeat in the future

on the other represent the poles of the
Republican party. The problem Is to
find some popular figure with views broad
enough to take in the ideas OF both OF
these leaders and yet offend neither.
Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michi-
gan might be the man. He has kept
under cover thus far. In the Senate
he was opposed to N. r. A. and has
opposed phases of A. A. A., although
he gave support to the old McNary-
Haugen plan of farm relief. He might
have offended some Republican leaders
by backing the munitions industry In
vestigation and by sponsoring guarantee
of bank deposits, but again he would
meet their favor by his opposition to
currency tinkering and large-scale
spending.
AS for the Democrats:
Their internal troubles are as appar-
ent as those of the Republicans. The
difference is that Mr.. Roosevelt has
the party fairly well knitted together
around the patronage barrel. His worry
had been that the more radical groups
aligned around him might fly of into
space and chase after a new leader.
With the death of Senator Huey Long
went the chief threat of defections that
might make the path to the White
House relatively smooth for Republican.
Signs now point to rough going in 1895.
Troubles of the situation are aggravated
by the sectional split that divides the
wings of the party.

There come times when the ideals and

There come times when the ideals and
convictions we hold are put to a supreme
test. Under normal conditions we pursue
our course unperturbed and confident in
our security: our beliefs and our re-
ligious practices continue without tncon-
venience to us. Where every condition
is favorable and we find cooperation
and cordial support in what we hold Of
faith, it is satisfying to enjoy our con-
ceits and to follow our practice unlet
and unhindered. 1t may be safely
affirmed that adversely and prosperity
test what we hold of religious conviction.
The first frequently disillusions, disap-
points and hardens us. The second ener-
Yates, softenS and renders us susceptible
to prevailing evils. There are those to
whom adversity brings a fresh conf
dence in what they hold Of faith and
tends to enrich and strengthen them in
the day of trouble. Observation indicates
that an excess of prosperity, with its
accompanying Self-ease and ,Self-gratifi-
cation, lowers She moral tone and fire.
Quently issues in apathy and spiritual
blindness.
There Is an incident in the eleventh
chapter of st. Matthews gospel that
ILLUSTRATES WIlaL we nave IN ullIlO. II Is
written that, when John had heard in
the prison the works of Christ, he sent
two of his disciples, and said unto him,
Art Thou he that should come, or do we
look for another?" When Jesus came to
John for baptism, John declared, con-
cerning Him: Behold, the Lamb Of God
which taketh away the sin of the world" !"
When he thus recognized Christ, his life
was unreStrained and his ministry un-
restricted He was now in Herod's prison
awaiting he knew not what. 1t was in
this hour of his testing that his faith in
Christ was for the time shadowed by
miSgivings. The prison walls had rem
dered him more introSpective and it was
in a period of profound depression that
he sent a message to Christ, asking: art
Thou he that should come, or do we look
for another?"
The forerunner's mental condition Is
suggestive Of an experience that comes
now and again to men and women under
the stress of trying and exacting circum-
stances. There are many people in our
modern world who, under the test which
a changed and changing order imposes,
experience misgivings and doubts con-
cerning their religious convictions. The
morale of the world has sustained a
