"The First American. It is a good thing for us that tomorrow while celebrating his birthday, we can call to mind the achievements of Abraham Lincoln not his triumphs of statesmanship so much as his private and personal victories. Lincoln, the President, the Commander-in-Chief of armies, was the child and product of Lincoln, the man. Lincoln is sometimes spoken of as having been an uneducated person. Nothing could be farther from the fact. He was one of the most completely educated men in the history of this country. Although he did not have access to schools and academies, he seized on the opportunities at hand and, like every truly masterful person, made his meagre opportunities yield him a magnificent service. It was on three books that his mind was hammered into shape the Bible, Shakespeare and Euclid. By means of the first, he achieved a character as finely tempered as a piece of steel and adequate to meet every strain placed upon it. Shakespeare aroused and strengthened his imagination, enabling him to think in continental terms and to see conditions in their broad sweeps and reaches. By means of Euclid and his stiff mathematical drills, he was nble to make of his intellect a smooth running and accurate instrumentality. Few brains have ever received the same amount of discipline and i raining. Another current misconception of Lincoln is that he is often described as having been a kind of coarse and sensual man. True enough, had .some traveler dropped into the Illinois grocery r,tore where he loved to loaf, he would have seen little in Lincoln to differentiate him from his fel-low-gossipers and story-tellers. But had this same man been able to probe beneath the surface, "he would have discovered there one of the supremely spiritual characters in the whole long

history of mankind. Not only did the Bible enable him to develop his consciousness of God but also his habit of prayer made the unseen and spiritual things as real to him as iron and stone. In the hard and trying days at the White House, he found two sources of relief, one through humor, the other through prayer. Many times he was discovered in the early gray of the morning gaunt and hollow-eyed, after having lain on his lace on the floor wrestling the night through in prayer. It was this certainty of the reality of the spiritual world that enabled him to rise like a light-house above his darkened contemporaries f;nd to stand unmoved beneath the shock of the most terrible antagonisms that have ever been focused on a single individual. It was this thoroughly seasoned and disciplined character and that marvelously accurate intellect that enable Lincoln to perform for his generation the one supreme service. He found himself in the midst of a bewildered people. Voices were crying on every side. "Lo here" and "Lo there." Everybody knew something was wrong but nobody was able to say as to what was wrong. On this chaos of conflicting opinions, Lincoln turned the steady searchlight of his luminous intellect and out of the tangle of difficulties disentangled that scarlet thread which was tightening on the throat of the Republic so that he was able to convince his people that the tap root of all their difficulties was the institution of slavery. We in our day, looking across the perspective of fifty years with the map of a generation unrolled before us, can see that great elementary fact standing out like a mountain chain. But the keenest minded in his day, the brainiest thinkers, such as Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and the rest, could not see it. It was just because he was able to lay bare the essential situation and to indicate the heart of the trouble that Lincoln became the emancipator of the slaves and the savior of the Republic. But there was nothing magical or supernatural about this man any more than about any other man. His marvelous power at the helm of the nation was the direct fruit of his untiring industry, his steady perseverence in those earlier formative years, when his friends and neighbors idled away their time at loafing or busied themselves about their trifling affairs, that enabled him to climb to that steep which won for him the poet's description "The first American." He conquered himself. It was because of this that he was able to conquer nations.

Creating a Will. Modern psychology is coming to understand that impulses to action are more fundamental in the human self than thought is and that action is the fruit of thinking. The mind is the servant of the will ; reasonable action is the end and aim of existence. An educated will is the first mark of character and determines one's destiny. "Every man," wrote Samuel Smiles, "stamps his own value upon himself and we are great or little according to our will." As to what this will it, the science of today differs radically from the science of yesterday. According to the old notion a man's "soul" was

made up of a number of "faculties." Of these the will was one. It was supposed that this will faculty was a thing completed at birth and that any one human being was as free to use his will as any other human being. Acting on this assumption, it was supposed that any person found in crime or degradation had freely and consciously chosen that lot. Old writers compared the will with the rudder of a ship and taught that by declaring himself free, a man could make himself free and that any man could cut loose from his weakness merely by deciding to do so. This old theory of faculties has now been cast into the scientific limbo. We no longer think of the will as a thing perfectly adjusted and completed at birth but as merely that name which we give to the activities of the self as they move forward. Each person is filled with desires, imaginations, feelings, wants, resolves, dreams, hunger, etc., etc ; these are always pulling ahead, struggling on and it is just this struggling forward of all these movements within us that makes up the will; perhaps we should say the law material of which a will can be fashioned. When all these conflicting impulses are brought under a central control and direction . and are made to obey orders like a team of trained horses, the will is said to be educated. It will be clearly seen from this that "will power" is no magic faculty in us which, by a kind of "presto change," we are able to exert and to throw our life into heaven or into hell by a single act. On the contrary, the will develops gradually by a process of growth. When a man's interior world is an orderly and civilized world, he is said to have will power but when it is an anarchist kind of Mexican world and the man is the victim of his impulses and caprices, he has no will in the proper sense but only the raw materials thereof. The science of psychology which deals with such things has a message of cheer for the man who finds his inner self in so demoralized a condition because psychology teaches us how we may educate our will. One means of this is to cultivate the habit of attention. When a man can give attention to any important thing for a definite time, he has built into his mind a solid foundation about which all his impulses can centralize. It is a second law in the education of the will that a man must carry his thoughts into action. Will power, and without will power man is only a shadow, can never be achieved through mental resolutions only. Many men are heroes to their own imagination because they make many great resolves. Deceiving one's self by these shadows

of heroic resolution is a form of dissipation of which many very amiable persons are guilty. Another essential to the education of the will is the development of a sound body. The greatest authority on this phase of the question is G. Stanley Hall. Note his vigorous language.

"Few realize how impossible healthful energy of will is without strong muscles which are its organ, or how endurance or self-control, no less than great achievement, depend on muscle habits." Sickness is next door to sin and those areas in society in which most illness is developed are always found to be the breeding places of crime. All ambitions toward a virtuous and righteous life are impossible unless the will is developed. It is just the organization and disciplining of one's impulses and volitions and the bringing of them under the governance of our ideals that makes virtue; and, as Professor H. Churchill King writes, "Will weakening indulgences, therefore, cheapen the worth of life at all points." There is no higher vocation in life than the complete fashioning and education of the will. When one has developed that power which is, as Lecky describes it, "The power of breasting the current of the desires and doing for long periods what is distasteful and painful," and which is also the organization and disciplining of our 'impulses and the bringing of .all our activities under a central control, he is able to walk among men as a man.

A TURKISH LEGEND

A certain Pasha, dead five thousand years, Once from his harem fled in sudden tears. And had this sentence on the city's gate Deeply engraven, "Only God is great." So these four words above the city's noise Hung like the accents of an angel's voice. And evermore, from the high barbican Saluted each returning caravan. Lost is that city's glory. Every gust Lifts, with crisp leaves, the unknown Pasha's dust; 13 And all is ruin, save one wrinkled gate Whereon is written, "Only God is great." Thomas Bailey Aldrich.

Saturday Second Series of Kathlyn.'

'From the Manger to the Cross" is a wonderful film of moving pictures. It is probably the most expensive and carefully planned film in the world. The life of Christ from His birth in a manger at Bethlehem to His crucifixion upon the cross at Mount Calvary is presented In moving form. The pictures are presented in five parts, but each part In turn is broken into short sections. This proves a decidedly effective way of breaking the tense situations that develop. It seemed more like a solemn church service than moving pictures. The audience sat in absolute silence. The Kalem Company followed Hoffman in presenting the features of Christ, Tissot in the detail of dress and costumes and Herr Schick in architectural matters. The Babe of Bethlehem and the Christ child were overshadowed in the first parts by the wonderful pictures. One lost sight of the Christ in the striking scenes of Eastern life. Later, the Christ dominated the film. The pictures are wonderfully good, depict the customs and scenes of the Holy Land and visualize many things that had seemed unreal. They have wonderful educational value. "The Evening Sun."
