Heart to Heart .Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.
BOLD TO YOUR FRIEND.
It is related of one of the Russian ' J . - - .
czars that once,, during a battle, he dis
mounted from his horse, put a wound
ed lieutenant on his saddle and carried
tbe lieutenant to a place of safety
Then the czar swung his hat and ex
claimed:
"I have saved a man!
The battle had gone against him.
That was a mere incident.' The thing
worth while was that he had sared a
man. There Is no Joy comparable to
that
Some years ago a like pleasure came
into my life, and, whatever happens to
me in time or eternity, nothing can
rob me of that happiness.
At the risk of apparent egotism I tell
this true story:
I saved a man from himself. He was
my friend and was worth saving.
Lacking one thing, he was every whit a man. He was a victim of the drink
habit
He tried my friendship sometimes to
the utmost. Often he would telephone me. "I am down again." At such
times I -would hasten to him with a
closed carriage and take him home.
His wife. In many respects a good woman, would have nothing to do with him on such occasions, and I would
put him to bed.
Except when in his sprees he was attentive to business an4 successful.
Many times he voluntarP.y made promises of reform. 1 never reproached
him, but said: "That is past. You will
not do so again." He grew worse. The sprees came closer together.
My friend's business began to suffer.
His wife left htm. His physician said to me: "There is no hope. He is what
is known as a constitutional drunkard
He Inherited the drunkard's tempera
ment.' We got him to take a "cure.
He straightened up for awhile, but was soon "down again." He avoided his friends and consorted with the
lowest. He was in the ditch.
One day, though he tried to dodge
me, I met him face to face and spoke
to him in the old familiar way.
asked him why he had not come to see
me and invited him to lunch.
The poor fellow looked down at his
clothes and his voice broke ns he said
"My God, do you think there is any
hope for me?" J assured him I still
believed in him and would help him.
He turned to go and said. "When you see me again I shall be clothed and
in my right mind." That was years ago.
One of the delights of my life is to receive letters from my old friend, now
a successful business man in an eastern city. And before me are his words,
"You can tell the world that it was
your belief in me that raised me from
the ditch."
Hold on to your friend! However
low he goes, hold on!

LET'S PLAY FAIR. Let's do a little thanking, and not so much asking. Let's not forever be beggars, asking for this and that; and never giving fervent thanks, which we certainly owe., Let's say once in a while at least, "Thank God that I live. Thank God that I have something to be thankul for." Let's no always be asking for new shoes, but show a little gratitude for the shoes we have had and have. If we are to pray with shoes as the subject of prayer, let's ask God for common sense and wisdom to properly use the shoes we have; to keep one man from getting ten pairs of shoes while the poor widow has none! If we eat, we owe thanks. We should be thankful that we have the wherewithal to eat, and an appetite. Let's pray for knowledge how to better distribute eatables, that's all. If 'tis cold, be thankful that it isn't colder. If 'tis hot, he thankful that it isn't hotter. , . There are many things for which we should be thankful. Perhaps you are married and have a wife and baby (or babies), for which you are surely thankful. Perhaps you remain single, in which event you must be doubly thankful that you may still experience the exceeding joy of hunting for a mate, the anticipation of those who intend to mate. Your health is robust? Yes? Then you owe ten thousand thanks for that alone. If your health is not so robust, yet tolerable, you are surely thankful that you haven't entirely broken down. Be thankful, not supplicant. ' Do a little for yourself! N Be thankful that you are; that the world is here for your benefit Merely to be allowed to live is to be allowed a chance to be happy.
