brotherhood, the increasing goodness of the world! It is all froth; it doesn't exist, as any one can find when he must make a real test of the case. The individual's chance is mightly slim when everything becomes, a system.',-
"The feelings of this man have been shared by thousands of others. Usually they come with fullest force when there has been misfortune.
Perhaps it is the misfortune of another; death has taken away a friend or loved one, maybe one

"Every one is likely to answer according to his own exDerience and the things he has been

that, as Stevenson declares, 'the services of no sinzle individual are indispensable.' Very likely

consciously or unconsciously, acts upon the pre-

and 'so careless of the single life;' while 'the individual withers and the world is more and

TODAY'S TALK
By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can,'
THIS SOUL OF MINE An appreciative reader of these Talks has written me a letter.. And here is what she has asked me: "I wonder it you would give us your definition of that very elusive, very necessary something that is known as the soul." ' I shall do my best but the definition and understanding must be all my own. I can't be asked to be right about this definition of mine. I am reminded of the first thing that my Mother taught m: "Now I lay me down to sleep; I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep. - If I should die before I wake, -I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take." I have, no idea who wrote that beautiful little prayer, but in it you will note that the thought is all about the soul. The new-born baby is a "dear little soul." The useful life that is ended is spoken of as a "beautiful soul." And the last sleep that comes Is not of the body which "to dust must return" but that of the soul. This soul of mine! What is it? I rather think it is the pure gold of me which no one is able to see or to place their fingers upon, but which they feel the moment I am transparently clean and whole. Eut to define it adequately I wonder who can? ' I wonder who can define the golds and purples and the browns and ambers of the pansy that smiles its soul to me as I lean to caress its beauty in my I "wonder who Is able to define the mystic meaning of a sunset or a star these things which we are able to see with our eyes? Why am I understood just a little?" Or misunderstood quite much? I have often asked this soul of mine this question. But the answer comes not at all. And I am left in the presence of mystery as profound as that which has knelt at the feet of the great Sphinx for ages and ages. ... And yet this soul of mine is a present thing! I wrap my thoughts about its will under the stars at night and with the breaking of morn N I ask of it, as I would the dearest Pal, what shall I do? How may I do it best? Where am I to go when trouble comes? In whose arms, strong and able, shall I be held when difficulties pack tightest? When all that I hold choicest shall seem to be swept from beneath my feet, what shall I do? I shall ask this soul of mine in confidence and in faith. It shall answer though I hear not its voice. But I shall be satisfied!

he has had to run another gauntlet and one which often entraps him. This barrier is that laid by the American consuls in those parts of the
earth where opium and other drugs are produced. The consul is Uncle Sam's man of all work In foreign lands. He is not so decorative as an ambassador or minister; but, taking him 365 days in the year, he is much more

United States; ana since iasi, out npvpr mnrfl so than at present, the
opuim runner has been a cross for every American counsul along the Chinese coast to bear. Recently 'the attention of the consular service has been directed to the success of Vice Consul
Walter A. Adams in China m breaK-

During the Dark Ages the use of the drug spread across Asia reaching China about the year 1000. All during those centuries, however, opium was eaten, and the effect of
the morphia was conveyea to mo nerve centers of the addict through, the digestive organs. As long as it was taken in this form, the drug never became a menace to civilization, for its victims were few. Even in Chini it was used principally as a medicine.
Then came the discovery Dy tne Chinese that the drug was much moreeffective when inhaled as smoke. That came after the discovery of America and, incidentally, of tobacco smokingspread from America to Europe, and from there the English. Spanish, and Dutch sailors took the habit and tha weed itself to China. By the year 1700 the Chinese had become tobacco
smokers. The Chinese thereupon began mixing opium with their tobacco, and the opium habit spread rapidly bein?; firmly established in China by 1S00. In the early part of the last century American and British sailing ships found it as profitable to smuggle opium into the poorly guarded Chinese
