Revering the Name of the Deity ?'"TnT6iy!ame'5ociety of -St. Andrew's church will strive to teach reverence for the name ;of the Deity and will oppose "profanity. i ;?'sAniericans are accused by other nations of being the most profane people on the globe. The charge probably is ctrue. Little reverence is ; shown for the name of the Deity and holy things generally by .the, 'average man. We abuse the iname of God with impunity nd lightly refer to jAhe "sacred ordinances of His "church. yAll of us should establish a censorship over !ur tongues to refrain from using God's name in Tain irl our conversation; Profanity has become so habitual with many of us that we can hardly : utter a sentence without using the name of a person of the Trinity; " r ' l: K- ; The English language is rith enough to supply us abundantly with words and phrases to express our thoughts without resorting to an emphatic

use oi tne name ot uod. All ot us will derive a benefit from entering into the spirit with which the Holy Name society was organized and strive . to keep our conversation free from profanity and the unnecessary use of God's name.

tor of ( the age, owing to his faculty of studying and searching until he finds a method of working out the ideas that are circulating in his mind. - This trait of his character deserves as much commendation and praise as does any of the great inventions which he has given to the world. Not only that. It challenges our imitation. In studying the life of this great inventor, let us remember that imagination and persistence fere the dominating traits of his character.

Ain't it a Grand and Glorious Feeling!

Edison's Imagination If ..Mr. Edison lacked imagination to create and faith to carry out his plans, the world would be deprived of many inventions which this wizard has perfected. The anniversary of his birthday last week emphasized the principles upon which he founded his success. When Edison first announced his intention to create an incandescent light, many scientists and near-scientists laughed at the idea of a light produced by a thin strip of non-conducting material contained in a vacuum, and heated to incandescence by an electric current. , But the inventor paid no attention to the scoffers, content to let his intellect guide him in the attainment of a venture which his imagination had suggested as being feasible. The realization of his efforts silenced the critics who lacked the inventor's imaginative power. Back of every successful enterprise is found the alert imagination of a man or woman who has a vision. The progress of the world is attributable to men 'who have ideas and are able to work them out in practice. , .The savage who imagined that a stick tied to a stone would be a better weapon of offense and defense than a stone or club, and then tested out his theory in practice, possessed mental qualities that elevated him above his fellow men. Jeers and mockery from his associates probably followed his announcement of the scheme, but the erstwhile detractors soon became his admirers. Edison unquestionably is the foremost inven-

The Value of Hardships Just now every one has a kick of some kind to register against so-called adverse fate. One is out of work ; the other finds commodities selling for less than he paid for them; some are hard pressed to finance their business ; others are wondering when they will be able to resume operations. And so all of us, in a season of depression, feel gloomy and despondent. But why contemplate the dark side of the picture? Why not wonder what depression may teach? In the season of high prices, inflation and golden prosperity we sailed with the wind and tide. It was easy going. Money came and money went, and we believed this condition would go on forever. It took little exertion, little planning,

little study to obtain what we wanted. And what was the result? As individuals we became flabby and soft. Our business organizations lost their initiative and energy. We became floaters on a calm sea of prosperity. Now comes a period in which conditions are radically changed. We are forced to fight for results. Success no longer comes our way unasked and unsolicited; we are compelled to seek it. It's a reversal of conditions and, because we do not grasp it completely, we are losing time in accommodating our mental operations to changed

conditions. Years of easy-going prosperity have put us out of form, to use a sport expression. We dread to strain our muscles, use our brain power, and exert our full energy to obtain results. We are out of the habit of doing so, and it will require a little time before we realize that it is absolutely necessary for our well being. Some individuals and organisations are carrying heavy loads now. Odds are against them. It will require all their strength, their ability, their

sagacity and energy to escape. - But what indi

vidual or organization ever attained pre-eminent

success without being forced to make at some period intense struggles against great handicaps ? The virile and strong individuals and organizations, the ones that have the right to exist, will be able to preserve themselves by virtue of the new energy and vitalizing power which they gain by battling against the opposition. The weaklings wilr go down in this fight. They will lose heart and hope, not because insurmountable conditions are crushing them, but because they lack stamina to continue the fight until they gain victory . Every individual and organization that emerges from the present season of depression, intact and buoyant, will be that much stronger for the conflict against adversity which was waged. Adversity develops strength and stamina. Prosperity enervates men, organizations and nations.

CAN YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF IN THIS CROWD? The commissioner of internal revenue reports that one person in the United States had a net income of more than $3,000,000 in the calencfer year 1918. Sixty-seven others made more than $1,000,000. and 178 more than $500,000. Two of the "more than a million" (lass gathered in between four and five millions; four cleared between three and four millions; eleven rounded up from two to three millions; sixteen tucked away from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, and thirty-three registered between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000 apiece. Of the 178 who had net incomes between $500,000 and $1,000,000, fortysix made from $750,000 to $1,000,000, and 132 corralled between $500,000 ana $750,000.

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN . STlCH

THE EDUCATION OF THE IGNORANT Gilbert K. Chesterton is traveling about our country delivering one of his typical lectures on "The Ignorance of the Educated" . Some critics accuse Mr. Chesterton of being but a superior verbal gymnast, who through repeated practice and natural aptitude has learned to play with paradoxes much as an experienced accountant fools with figures. They are "way off". Back of every one of Mr. Chesterton's quips stands a mountain of truth. And his paradoxes, which now tickle and then jolt, and not infrequently do both, are only as the compelling titles of great books of many pages, each filled with the gems of a mind so analytically incisive that it cuts cleanly away the trimmings, trappings, shams and furbelows of the conventions and the conventional, and exposes life's eternal varieties. Especially in this lecture on "The Ignorance of the Educated" has Mr. Chesterton struck a true note which to many ears will not be music, but only because their mind is improperly attuned they do not believe what they do not want to believe. The so-called educated man is often ignorant because he believes he is educated, and that belief stops further effort, leaving him a victim of arrested development. The so-called ignorant man stands a long odds chance of becoming educated because his lack makes him self-conscious and anxious to cover up his defect by knowledge and culture. Only too frequently, "higher" education is nothing but a quiz, its aim a "passing mark", examinations are. nightmares. Many university graduates are so elated (inflated?) when they "stand on the threshold" and receive their A. B. so rejoiced to be "through with it all" that books, ever afterwards they are apt to consider an abomination. They have had "all there is there is no more". And their education being confined to what they got at college, they are liable to remain woefully ignorant as compared to the education their poorer but more fortunate neighbor gets out of life and leisure. Short rations of education have the same effect as short rations of food they make you want luore, make you anxious to know, anxious to learn, to develop and go on. So, disadvantage and poverty frequently give a man what education de luxe often fails to bestow, and that is the study habit. When a boy wants to continue his schooling and cannot afford to, it is a dead certainty he is going to be an educated man. And, incidentally, it is the education of the ignorant, so to speak, that has been the foundation of the overwhelming majority of the world's sue-

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up". MOTHER A beautiful limousine turned the corner and whisked its way juiekly to the curb before a wonderful mansion. There was something about the atmosphere of it all that attracted my attention. So watched. ' The door opened. The athletic figure of a man in middle life jumped quickly out. Tenderly the arms of a white haired old lady were soon resting upon the strong ones of the man. "It is his mother," I said, to myself. And so it proved to be. I walked on to my work. I thought of the fifteen years and more since my own mother had gone away. I thought of all her beauty of heart and soul. I wished that I might have been that fine man who showed such loveliness of care to his mother. Every good man, at the highest pinacle of his fame, invariably thinks of his mother and in deep humility and appreciation desires to honor her most. No boy or girl can ever do too much for their mother. Nor can the grown man or woman. The essence of beauty is always to be found hidden in a mother's heart. " You don't have to explain to a mother. She always knows and understands. She works on quietly and uncomplainingly. She takes her lot and handles it with fingers of love. I would guess that the man in the limousine was once a poor boy and that his mother worked very hard and that he worked very hard and that now he couldn't do enough for that mother. Wrhy, there had to be a heaven so that mothers might go there and rest!

Recent parliamentary elections in the Union of South Africa resulted in a triumph for tne party headed by General Jan Smuts, premier. The Nationalist' party elected sixty-seven

members, while the S 's&5 PPOsing parties S A I named forty-seven.

l ne aoutn Aincan party gained fourteen seats in the election. The victory of the South African party is attributed to the fact that the workingmen voted against the secession, an issue raised by General Hertzog. Gen. Jan Smuts was South Africa's representative to

England at the imperial war council in 1917. He is a Soujh African by birth. He was educated at Stellenbosch in the Cape province. When the Boer war broke out he was still a young man, but already had a great reputation among the South African Dutch. During the war he rendered conspicuous services to their cause. Among his deeds was a brilliant raid into Cape Colony during the latter part of the campaign. At the end of the campaign, when peace was made in 1902. General Smuts was established as one of the two recognized leaders of the Transvaal Dutch, the other being General Botha. General Smuts was also active in the campaign in German Southwest Africa. In the year 1916 he took command of the British forces operating in German East Africa. He then organized the great campaign which annihilated ihe German power. It was after this that he was sent to, England to the war council.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

LARCENY. Some fellow came and swiped my cow while I was fast asleep, but sorrow does not crease my brow, I do not wail and weep. And if I wept and wailed at all it is because I'm sick to think a. fellow has the gall to play so punk a trick. For it is plain his heart is wrong, his conscience is a fake; his life will be no grand sweet song, but just one lone drawn nrhf TTo'll cirniv

about his native land, a haunted moral

wreck, in fear that some policeman's hand will erasn him hv th norlr Ho'n

drift along from crime to crime, in-

sieao. or earning kale, and when he isn't serving time, he'll be out hunting bail. And so I don't denounce or hate the boop who pinched my cow; I merely pity such a skate and mourn

his future now. When any person does me harm, at first my words are grim; I say I'd give an upland farm to even things with him. If I could meet him face to face, with, ardor, I maintain, I'd strew Ms remnants o'er the place like leaves upon the plain. But when my royal wrath has cooled, and I have ceased to cuss, I soon regret the things I drooled, and all my foolish fuss.. A punishment severe and strong is sure as things can be to hit the man who's doing wrong but 'twill not come from me.
