No other book in the Old Testament
has such a tone of serious sadness as
the book of Ecelosiastes. All through
Thoughtless Criticism.
There are Tew commoner faults, and
few that do more harm than the in-
dulgence of unrestrained, thoughtless
criticism of others. Are you guiltless
it there is the underlying assumption, ! In this matter? Are you even making
a purely practical one, that man can
have the true end of his being and
come to his real self only in that
which brings him pure, perfect and
9 permanent satisfaction.
History shows that the wealth of
Solomon's private treasury was al-
most beyond calculation. His wisdom
was the wonder of the wise men of
♦ Ills day. He understood science, art.
philosophy better than any of his con-
temporaries. The renown of his
wealth and wisdom prompted
Queen of Sheba to visit him,
when she looked at all the magnifi-
cence of. his realm and listened to his
marvelous words, she returned to her
people with the exclamation, "The
half lias never been told." And yet,
with the praise of kings and queens,
with all that wealth and wisdom could
procure for happiness, he sank into
otter wretchedness and cried. "Vanity
of vanities; all is vanity."
What, is the conclusion which nat-
urally grows out of Solomon's esti-
mate of human life? Man Is some-
tiling vastly more than a finely de-
veloped physical organism, the para-
gon of/anlmals. He possesses a spir-
itual nature, and that nature cannot
if be satisfied with merely material pos-
f' sessions. Seeking satisfaction in the
things of the world was what Solomon
. V tried to do. He failed, not because the
J* things to which he gave himself were
^ all improper or useless. Some of them
F ' were sinful in themselves, but others
wore, in their own place, of great
rj * Importance, and had lie used them in
the right way they would not have
pyovjedf so utterly uvelasx.- It is as
impossible to stay the hunger of the
spirit of-man by an abundance of ma-
J terial provisions as stay" thf huti-
1 ger of a starving child by giving it
if toys and pictures. "Man doth not live
by "bread alone," and no one who
\ knows himself or his fellows would
question that utterance.
'I ♦ The forces of our modern life tend
to obscure the truth of the essential
spirituality of man. The strain, the
rivalry of economic life, the life of
passion, the idol of excitement, the
pleasures or society, the eagerness for
speculation, these are the forces that
are working deadly mischief in blind-
ing men to their spiritual necessities.
And yet. underneath it all. the soul
revolts against this materialism.
All our ennui, our restlessness, what
is it but the soul's cry for Ood? Men
want peace. Peace cometh from par
jJnn and communion with God, which
results in the effort, to live the life
of God as revealed in Jesus Christ.
This peace money cannot buy. music
ca'nrtot charm, art cannot win. phil-
osophy cannot command. The world
saith in each of its departments: It
fs not in me. The soul's dissatlsfac
tion with earth's things is foul the
other side o£ its desire for Ood. As
it. was wirt*. Sokwion, so It is with us.
1*1 the soul answer. Does wealth
meet its needs? Does worldly pleas-
ure satisfy? Does earthly power
t ring peace?
When the life has grasped all these
Is it content? Many a soul starv-
ing to-day in the midst of plenty. Out
of the experience of Solomon comes
this admonition: Be true, bo pure;
keep thyself unspotted from the
world, obey the voice of conscience,
follow Ihe convictions of duty, do the
right as God reveals it to you; fear
Him, love Him, keep His command-
ments and serve Him with ail thine
heart.—Rev William C. Stinson
The Hours to Come.
The hours are passing over us. and
with them the day. What shall the
future days be, and what the years?
What we make tliern, such will they
foe. God gives us time. We weave
it into life, such figures as we may,
and wear It as we will. Ago slowly
vots away the- gold we are set In. but
the adamantine soul lives on, radiant
every way in the light streaming
down from God. The genius of eter-
nity. star-crowned, beautiful, and
with prophetic, eyes, leads us to the
gates of time, and gives us one more
year, bidding us to fill that golden
cup with water as we can or will.
There stands Ihe dirty, fetid pools of
worldllress.and sin; curdled and man-
tled, film-covered; streaked and
striped with many n hue, they shine
there in the slanting light of a new
born day. Around them stand the
sons of earth and cry, "Come hither;
drink thou and lie saved! Here fill
thy golden cup!" Tuere you may
seek to fill your urn; to stay your
thirst. The deceitful element, slip-
ping through your hands, shall mock
your lip. It Is water only to the eye.
ffort to correct this habit which
you know lias made much trouble?
Are you not much too free with the
reputation of others, much too ready
to discuss persons, not even sparing
their motives which must be
known to you? Is not this just the
place where you need to reform and
take a new departure both for your
own good and that of others? The
evil calls for a heroic remedy. Of the
absent say nothing but good. Speak
j tenderly of people. Learn to discuss
and ' topics. Beware of imputing evil mo-
tives. "Judge not, that ye be not
judged."
The Bible
revelation.
is not a riddle but a
Giving 'to God.
We need never fear that giving to
God and to God's work will make us
poor. "God is able to make all grace
abound unto you." There are some
things of which the more we give the
more we have. We do not lose them
ourselves in passing them on to oth-
ers. In giving our lives to God, we ob-
tain life more abundant. And the more
we give, the more wo get. The hand-
ful of meal and the cruise of oil dimin-
ished not through all the long months
that, the prophet fed from them. The
more we show sympathy to others In
their sorrow or need, the more sympa-
thy we will have in our own hearts.
Sympathy Is not exhausted by exer-
cise. The more love we give out. the
more love we will have to give. Ix>ve
grows in loving. The way to empty
our hearts is not to give. Then the
powers of sympathy and the love in
us will grow less. The way to get
more love in our hearts is to love. We
grow in giving.
Christianity, a wise man has said,
Is "for use, or it is nothing." it means
the deepening life of goodness in tii
heart.
Our Dead.
Of all the influences that work in
a man's or woman's life. I know none
purer or stronger than the hand that
we knew. It is only when a mother
<ties thai her children begin to under-
stand what their mother was, and
only after years when we look back
on our father that we see his excel
lence, his integrity, his manliness and
his wisdom. It was some time before
the disciples got a glimpse of Jesus—
only after he had gone to heaven;
and It has taken eighteen centuries
to imagine the full height of Jesus,
and he Is still growing in human
thought. So it Is with our dead. They
are living -the only members of our
family that are fully alive and know
the meaning of things and the will
of Ood most perfectly. How near they
bring the unseen things to us! There
Is nothing brings the unseen close
save Christ and those that have gono
In to j<*in him.—Ian Maclaren.
We often do more good by our syra
pathy than by our labors.
The Power of Affection.
Think of life—how short It is; how
much unavoidable bitterness it pos-
sesses, how much which it is easy
either to bear or to chase away; and
think how the power of affection can
make all things right! Tremble he-
fore the chains of s^iflshne s; free
thyself from them by a new sacrifice
of love and purify the heaven of
home. Ascending clouds can easily
expand into destructive tempests, or
disjierso and leave not a trace la the
air. O chase them hence with the
powerful breath of love!—Miss Bre-
mer.
The Greatest Loss.
I may l>o angry with a man who
might carve statues and paint pic-
tures, if he spent his life in making
mock flowers out of wax and paper;
but when a man who might have Ood
for company shuts up and disowns
those very doors of his nature through
which Ood may enter, and lives the
emptied life which every man lives
who lives without Ood, his loss is too
dreadful to be angry with. You
merely mourn for him and long and
try to help him if you can.—Phillips
Brook \
Art in Cheerfulness.
To be bright and cheerful often re-
quires an effort. There is a certain
art in keeping ourselves happy. In
this respect, as In others, we require
to watch over and manage ourselves
almost as if we were somebody else.—

Is Personal Ability
than Technical Skill?
More Important
FOR PERSONAL ABILITY.
The Roots of the Tree.
You might say that personal ability
ir. the man himself—the source of
everything done.
Judgment Muct Lead.
Rules and systems fail often to pre-
vent errors of judgment.
Ability Must Exist.
No mechanical device can make hu-
man intelligence and watchfulness un-
necessary in connection with it.
Life Before Skill.
The experts say that the personnel
of the navy is more valuable than the
type of ship used.
Source of Success.
There is no permanent success with-
out a preparation and personal abil-
ity is the preparation for technical
skill.
Simply Driftwood.
Is it easier for ability to acquire
skill than for skill to acquire ability'.'
Skill without ability is only driftwood.
Ability Has Forethought.
An adult without technical skill of
some kind lacks forethought, which
is a main element of ability. So that
ability will possess technical skill.
H- Broke the Globe.
An expressman who had skill to
handle a trunk, lacked ability, in the
form of a forethought, to see the
porch light globe and the trunk
smashed it He had plenty of skill
to carry the trunk around the light,
but he lacked ability to direct that
skill.
Ability Back6 You Up.
A little man had skill enough to hit
a big man on the head with an um-
brella, but he did not have ability to
back up his skill and in Ihe end he
got the worst of it. Ability would
have caused him to wait and manage
in a way to have the big man kick
himself.
FOR TECHNICAL SKILL.
Then the Branches.
If personal ability iH thit roots «>f
the tree, technical skill is the
branches and what are the uses of
roots witheut the branches?
A Source of Judgment.
While acquiring technical skill you
grow good judgment faster than in
any other way.
Many Times.
Technical skill makes a machine
which does more with common ability
than great ability can do without the
machine.
Improved Life by Skill.
Has technical skill done more to im
prove and prolong life than personal
ability has done for technical skill'.'
Helps Us Prepare.
The best help in preparing for suc-
cess is to have the companionship ot
technical skill. Association with the
skillful is a source of ability
Also Driftwood.
Ability without skill is driftwood
and it is the biggest, sticks of all
Ability must have some skill of some
kind in order to do anything.
What Some Employers Say.
When they want help and advertise
for it they are able to find plenty of
people with semi technical skill, but
to find anyone out of work who is
thoroughly skillful is very uncom-
mon. They do not have time to re
teach the poorly taught. Young peo-
ple should be rightly taught during
the first instruction.
The Picture by Skill.
You can buy a school slate and a
twenty-flve-cent silver coin for a half
a dollar, but I saw a painting of a
slate and coin on it for which you
would have to pay ten dollars to own.
In this case the skill meant twenty
times the actual value of the real
article.
The Accuracy Library.
About subjects wor- Thank God for the
thy of our time and our elderly men who are
money, muscle, mind, able to whistle and run.
If you were to make a list of the j
subjects on which you have spent
hours, wealth, strength and thought,
during the last ten years, some of the
subjects would be more worthy than
others.
One way to have better judgment
from now on is to make such a list
and review the subjects one by one
tor differential sense.
Another way to hold and have ready
the sense acquired by studying your
list is to review occasionally tho
things you learned by reviewing the
subjects.
It might increase your self-control
ten per cent if you could have a two-
minute bird's-eye view of the last ten
years.
A year or so ago a man made a re-
mark about my work. He predicted
success provided I kept it alive or
full of life, but he predicted some-
thing else if I permitted it to go
to sleep.
By writing his words down In a
big blank hook, which I frequently
open, and re-reading his prediction
every few weeks, dating each time I
re-read it, I have been prompted to
greater efTort and more systematic
thought.
That re-reading and dating has been
one of the things worthy of my time
dnrlng the last ten years. But It is a
habit otarted two or three ten years
ago, when I began rereading some
gems of thought every day In the
year.
if It were not that the editor wants
shorter articles I would tell about
some other things. It Is bettor for
you to stop and make a list nt sub-
jects than to only read about the do-
ings of others.
How She Trained Him.
A man wanted to register a piece of
mall matter and as he shoved It un-
der the window at a postofllce he told
one of Uncle Ram's young ladles what
he was there for. She told him to get
It weighed and get his postage stamps
at the next window.
He got it weighed at the nert win-
How. but forgot his stamps. He
pushed the bundle under the regis-
tered mall window and It was pushed
back again vi 1th the postage stamp
command repeated. He traveled again
und got the stamps and stuck them
on and shoved the bundle under the
window the third time.
The young lady examined It care-
fully, then informed him that the
sender's name must be on the upper
left hand corner, where he had writ-
ten the house number and town only.
Back came the package and he
wrote his name and for the fourth
time shoved the package under the
window and it was received.
And they both kept good natured.
He agreeably learned something. She
agreeably taught him. He paid Un-
cle Sam eleven cents. Uncle Sam
took the package four hundred miles
and promised pay for it If it did not
get delivered all right. Economic ac-
curacy!

An old man whistling always makes
me more hopeful.
And when an old man can win a
foot race there is natural rejoicing
among the spectators.
A few minutes ago I saw a man of
elderly appearance come into a sia
tion in a hurry but when he found
the trains delayed he went out of the
station in a greater rush and ran to
another ear line.
The way he ran caught my eye. He
made race track time and you would
have thought him made of rubber lie
went so easily. He had the graceful-
ness of youth in his muscles.
He had a bundle of long strips of
wood. A belt was around his over-
coat at the waist. His cap was over
his ears and he was "business."
Last year I secured the picture of
a man about a hundred years of age
who enjoyed life atid had a system
of daily exercises which would be use-
ful to you and to nie to follow I for-
got my kitchen chair exercise this
morning.
Occasionally I do hear elderly tnen
whistling and more might whistle if
they would stop their worrying and
believe in better methods.
An elderly man. though 1 suppose
he would not want me to call him
elderly, won a foot race at a picnic
and seemed none the worse for It.
You would not think him able to run
a rod to look at him but he has l>een
athletic all his life.
This is being written In a street
car which is cold enough to make ice
cream hut 1 want to add a f# w words
to tell you what a man told me this
week.
He lives ever a mile from his rail-
road station and he makes the trip
on foot six days a week. When he
first moved to his present home he
formed the habit of running from the
station to the house each evening.
Then he unformed the habit by neg-
lect, but now he is reforming the
habit. It is taking time for him te
do it. He Is older and he has to run
a part of the way dally but he is
gaining each day.
If you try any exercise go blow and
watch results. It is ike some medi-
cines in that It does not agree with
everybody equally as well.
A Musical Mistake.
A professor of music wrote the
name of the town for the name of the
person addressed and when the un-
delivered communication was adver-
tised a reader recognized the mistake
anu notified the person to whom the
professor wrote. When we think
faster than our hand can make the
words the hand becomes treacherous,
and jumps to catch up and mixes the
thought. The reader who caught the
error knew about such errors being
made and by means of the given
name guessed right on the person who
should have received it. The United
States government has some experts
who can guess some great intention*
of error-making correspondent*.
Driving Out the Giants.
The '.emporumv struggle is an old
one It would seem that speakers and
writers would long since have ex-
hausted the force <if language in de-
nouncing the drink evil, and in call-
ing upon tnen and women to array
themselves against ii. And so. in-
de.'d. they have done very largely, hut
there are tin worded arguments more
powerful than come from the plat
form or page, and these will appeal
to conscience and judgment as long
as Ihe evil lasts. Every besotted life,
every broken heart, every ruined
home, every shrinking woman and
frightened child that listen in the
ni ;ht for the uncertain, shuffling foot- |
steps that mean to them mental and
perhaps physical torture, after hours
of suspense—such arguments as these !
are not answered. They can and will I
keep alive the que. 'ion and force the
issue as long ai the state sells tho
peace of helpless innocents lor money.
Hut it is not a losing battle. Al- 1
ready, estimated by slates and coun-
ties, about one third of the United
States is under legal prohibition. It t
remains to place and keep in office ;
men who will enforce law. before tho
business can be actually driven out
of this territory from which it has
been legally banished. Still the I
amount of liquor drunk Is greatly re-
duced in such places, and in many
such communities those who sell it
and those who drink it must resort to
tho methods of evil conspirators in or-
der to covertly break the law.
While but a third of the country
has at least outwardly come up to the
standard, an Immense moral gain has
been made in the last century. A j
man can no longer engage In the !
liquor business and be looked upon as !
acceptable in the best circles In any I
intelligent community. The saloon
keeper is ostracised, and deservedly
so. Kv n people who have no scruples
against a glass of wine or lieer them-
selves consider the man who sells it
as a step too low for themselves or
their families to meet in a social way.
No real estate dealer, or owner of
valuable property wants a saloon to
locate near his landed interests. In
fact, the whole business is to-day by |
common consent, classed as disreputa-
ble. and those who defend it largely
depend on the illogical argument that
it is a necessary evil, and cannot be
abolished, though it may be restricted.
It has taken a long and vigorous fight
to gain such results, but it has been
well worth while, ami the good war-
fare should be prosecuted with re-
doubled zeal from this time on.—Gos-
pel News.

Use of Alcoholic Drinks.
The committee of fifty scientists
which l as for ten years been study-
ing the liquor question has issued its
fourth preliminary report in two vol-
umes The following are the main
conclusions drawn: Effects of moder-
ate or occasional use of alcoholic
drinks differ with individuals, age, oc-
cupation and climate. With the ma-
I jority of occasional moderate drinkers

I ing i harmful; in a few it is thought
1 to be beneficial. Eighty per cent of
the leading brain-workers of the
i United States use alcoholic drinks oc
' casionally or regularly or in modera-
tion. The use of such drinks to stlm
1 ulate mental effort gives, on the
1 whole, had results. Even occasional
i or moderate use is likely to be harm-

| of the danger of its leading to ex-

; sons over fifty years of age. alcoholic
i beverages, while sometimes useful,
should be taken, if at all, with tho
last meal of the day. "Fine old wills
; kies" and "tine old brandies" are near
ly as likely to produce injurious ef
fects as are the cheaper sorts, if
taken :n the same quantities.
In moderate quantities, beer, v.ine
, and diluted whisky have a certain
food value, but they are seldom used
for food purposes rather for their ef-
fect on the bra.In. In large quantities,
and for some persons even in moder
i ate quantities, they are poison. Alco-

Temperance in Germany.
An interesting communication con-
cerning the growth of temperance
sentiment in Germany has been made
by United States Consul Died rich at
Bremen. The article, in reviewing a
complete bibliography or recent Ger-
man literature on the drink question,
lately issued, says:
Considering the newness of the pro-
paganda In the Fatherland, tho out-
put is enormous.
There is a total of 871 books printed
fn the German language dealing with
the temp<*rance question, written by
413 different authors, and practically
all published since the year 1880, the
greater portion of them since 1890.
Besides this, there are now thirty-
seven newspapers, magazines and an-
nuals published in Germany, devoted
f the temperance question.
The temperance reformation In f er-
many has had such a recent beginning
and the supposed German repugnance
to total abstinence is so well grounded.
!t is really difficult to comprehend the
full meaning of this vast array of liter-
ature in the German tongue.
The evidence is clear that the people
of Germany have taken up the alco-
hol question with an energy excelled
by no other people on the face of the
earth. Good Templar lodges are mul-
tiplying every year. The Blue Cross
has spread all over the empire.
The Imperial Health Office at Berlin
Is sending out elaborate literature
against the use of alcohol as a bever-
age. Count Douglas, the brother-in-law
of the Emperor, is one of the foremost
temperance reformers in the country,
and, day after day, the Journal oi the
Imperial Parliament, has contained
pages of his arguments against drink.
Leading lights in German universities
are also leaders in the new reform.
Plans are even being matured for a
German temperance exhibit at the
coming St. i/ouls Exposition.

The fact, as claimed, though not
trne, that we are running money out
of the state by not licensing the traf-
fic is not proved by tho money in
banks and the credit and comfort in
the homes of Kansas.
Nor are any of the Industries of
the state suffering because there is
no large amount of treule in the ntate.
But the prosperity here Is largely re-
sponsiblc for the fact of prohibition,
though often poorly enforced. A few
years ago when the west was suffer
ing from drought, this state was full
of people looking for a place to stay,
of whom many were from Nebraska,
a high licence state. In Kansas, al-
though they might not be rolling in
wealth, most of them had enough to
stay at home.-—A. H. Grlesa In Now
