A JAPANESE VrEW OF BROTHERHOOD

(The following is from an address by Baron Tanaka, Prime Minister of Japan, made to a. Rotary conference at Tokyo.)

"The evil tendency of today in all ranks of society is that individuals are seeking for selfish aims and neglecting to give service to others. Employes are eager to get higher wages and never asking whether they are fulfilling their duty. Employers are trying to get the most out of their workers and gain profit for themselves, without giving sufficient reward. 'Blessed is he who gives' is an eternd truth; and the highest and most noble thing to give among men, is love. If this spirit of brotherhood, or love of our fellow man, is spread among the people living on the borders of the Pacific Ocean, there will be peace and happiness among them; and if it is extended to the nations of the world, it wiU not be difficult to establish the world-wide eternal peace and happiness so much desired. For this reason I wish all success and prosperity to your organization"'

A Righteous Prayer

I thank Thee Lord for strength of arm to win my bread, And that beyond my need is meat for friend unfed. I thank Thee much for bread to live, I thank Thee more for bread to give.

The Virtue Of Inconsistency

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do' He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall If you would be a man, speak what you think today in words as hard as cannon balls, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said today. "Ah then" exclaim the aged ladies, "you shall be misunderstood." It is a fool's word. Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh.-Emerson.

Coolidge On Our National Growth

The growth which our country has made since 1860 and the benefits it has brought all our inhabitants' are unsurpassed. Our population, which was then about 31,500,000 has risen to about 118,000,000. Our wealth oJ about $16,000,000,000 is now conservatively estimated at $350,000'000,000. Our foreign trade of only about $785,0fi),O00 has now become over $9,000,000,000. Our railroad mileage has increased from about 31,000 to about 2+9,000, and its revenues have grown from $153,000,000 to $6,250,000,000' Public school enrollment has risen from about 5,000,000 to 25'000,000. Our manufactured products have multiplied from about $2,000,000,000 to nearly 463,000,000,000. In 1870 our farm products were less than $2,500,0o0,0fi), while ttey are no$r around $13,000,000,000.

A Biblical Knock At Doctors

12. And Asa in the thiry-nine years of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great, yet in his disoase he sought not the Lord, but the physicians.

13. And Asa slept with his fathers.

II Chronicles, ChaPter 16.

No Noise That Way

"Can we play at keeping store in here, Mama?"

"Yes, but I have a headache, so if you do you must be very quiet."

'l{,lf right, mama. We'll pretend we dori't advertise"'

SMILE!

A smile costs nothing, but it gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give' It takes but a single moment, but lasts forever. None is so rich and mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor ttrat he cannot be made rich with it' A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is naturers best antidote for trouble, yet cannot be bought' begged, borrowed, or stolen. Some people are too tired to gi"e you a smile. Give them one of yours' as none needs a smile so much as those who have none to give.
