MAN. AN INVOCATION.
4, II) KIlM'rt Hubbard
My heart goes out to you, O Man,
because I cannot conceive of auy belug
great, nobler, more heroic, more
tenderly loving, loyal, unselfish uad
enduring than are you.
All the love 1 know Is man's love.
All the forgiveness I kuow is man's
forgiveness. All the sympathy I
know is man's sympathy. And
hence I address myself to Man?to
you? and you would I serve.
The fact that you are a human
being brings you near to me?It is
the bond that unites us.
I understand you because you are
& part of myself. j
You may like me or not?It makes
no difference if ever you need my
help I am with you.
Often we can help each other
most by leaving each other alone
at other times we need the hand
grasp and the word of cheer. I am
only a man?a were man?but in
times of loneliness think of me as
one who loves his kind.
What your condition is in life will
not prejudice me either for or
against you. What you have done t
or not done will not weigh in the
scale.
If you have been wise and prudent
I congratulate you, unless you are
unable to forget how wise and irood
you are; then I pity you.
If you have stumbled and fallen
and been mired in the mud, and
have failed to be a friend to yourself, ,
then you of all people need friendship.
I am the friend of convicts,
insane people and fools?successful
and unsuccessful, college-breed and
illiterate.
You all belong to my church. I
could not exclude you if I would.
The Spirit of Ls>ve that flows j
'through me, and of which I am a
part Is your portion, too. The race
is one and we trace to a common
Divine Anceetry.
I offer you no reward for being j
loyal to me and surely I do not;
threaten you with pain, penalty and i
dire ill fortune If you are indifferent j
to me.
You cannot win me by praise or
adulation. You cannot shut my
heart toward you, even though you
revile me.
Only the good can reach me, and
no thought of love you send me can
be lost or missent.
All the kindness you feel for me
should be given to those nearest
you, and it shall all be passed to
your credit, for you yourself are the
record of your thoughts and no
error can occur in tho omin*
Always and forever my friendship
shall follow you, yet never intrude.
I do not ask you to incur obligations
or ask promises. There are
no dues. 1 do not demand that you
shall do this and not do that. I
issue no commands .
I cannot lighten .your burdens, and
perhaps I should not even if I could,
for men grow strong through bearing
burdens. If I can, I will show
you how to acquire styenght to meet
all your difficulties* and face the
duties of the days.
It is not for me to take charge of
for life, for surely I do well If I look |
after one person?myself.
If you err, it is not for me to |
punish you. We are punished by our
sins, not for them.
Soon or late I know you will see
that to do right brings Good and to
do wrong brings misery, but you will
abide Nature's Laws, and all
good things will be yours. I cannot
change these laws?I cannot make
you extempt from your own blunders
and mistakes.
And you cannot change the Eternal
Laws for me, even though you die
for ine.
Perhaps 1 can point you the
pathway that leads to Love, Truth 1
and Usefulness, and this I want to
do. '
And then by pointing you the way
I will find it myself. J |
y
A MORNING PIIAYKH.
Oh, may 1 be strong and bray today,
y And may I be kind and trjje;
And greet all men In a gracious way.
With frank good cheer in the things
I say
At?d the love In the deods 1 do.
May the simple heart of a child be
mine,
And the grace of a roin bloom; 1
Let me Oil the day with a hope
divine
And turn my fase to the sky's glad
shine.
With never a cloud of gloom.
With the golden levers of love and (
light
I would lift the world and when
Throught a path with kindly deeds

?NIXON WATERMAN.
When people Ret to drinking ra- i'
dlum solutions at banquets cham- 1
paRne will lose Its Rlory as "wealthy ;
water."
Positive Identification loses much
of its force when a person positively
Identified as dead disputes the iden*
tlflers.
KSTi MATING CIIAKA4 TKK.
"Gitche Manito, the mighty;
Mltche Manito, the bad:
In the breast of every Reduiau,
la the dust of every dead tuau,
There's a tiuy heap of Gitche
And a mighty uiouud of Mltche?
Thero's the good and there's the bad.
Thus Cy Warmau, whose poete
genius is just discovered now that he
is dead?fate of so many among Art's
elect!?put iuto new form an idea as
old perhaps as thought itself.
| "There's the good aud there's the
bad;" the optimist looks for and sees
the gitche, the pessimist seeks and
finds the mltche. The "man in the
street" makes up his mind that good
and bad are about evenly balauced
in what Browning called "this best of
all possible worlds," Some men are
much worse than they appear to be.
while most men are much better than
they seem. As it is with men, so it is,
too, with nations. The evil is ever the
more obvious eveu to the friendly
observer of another race or nation.
The good eludes liiiu, because when
it is most good it is like the modest
violet, "bashful and afraid of garish
glare."
To the Persian of old the men of
Athens were barbarians. To the
Greeks and to the Romans, the
Franks and the Germans were beings
formed in an inferior mold, essentially
lower in the plane of possibilities
?potentiality. Where are the glories
of the cities of Cyrus? Dead ashes?
memories! What of the greatuess of
ancient Athens and of ancient Rome?
Broken columns, ruined temples?
dust and memory lingering alongside
the more modern monuments of cosmopolitan
influence and cosmopolitan
growth. The dome of 9t. Peters came
neither from the brain nor the heart
of Caesars.. Time's relentless changes
have battered down untold walls of
tiicjuuiL-? aini civilization's tide still
sweeps onward, revising man's Judgment
of other men. * s
We are now, for the first time since
Time itself leapt froth the womb
of Eternity, coming together, again,
in true cosmopolitan communion?
the children of the floe and the fjord,
the children of the park and peak,
the children of the sun and saud. We
are rubbing shoulder to shoulder and
getting under the sktn." And Truth
is teaching us that none of us has a
monopoly of gitche or of mitche. The
eternal conflicts common In all.
A few days ago six gold watches
were deposited at the Chinese Legation
in Washington, I). C., to be forwarded
to Minster K. E. Shah to Peking.
These watches?appropriate
presents!? are the gift of grateful
Americans to brave Chinese who risk
ed life and limb to save American
men and women from danger. The
future recipients are a Chinese teacher
and Chinese soldier varying in rank
from sergeant to corps commander.
The go\ernruent of China has already
extolled their conduct and rewarded
them. Hut their greatest reward will
be the influence of their bravery and
self-sacrifice bringing about a new
estimate of Chinese character. No
Knight of the Grail could do more or
dare more than did these, in part,
obscure Chinese friends of those once
?hut, no longer?known as the
"foreign devils".
How fast the world is moving!
How near we are getting to knowledge
of our real selves! Appearenees
are no longer important. The unfamiliar
character of the cover no longer
hinders us from knowing and admitting
the beauty of the book. Wo read
the mandates of Yuan or the speeches
of Minister Shar and we cee that what
is gitche in Paducah, Ky.. is good, too
in Peking, China, and what a mitche
in Cohoes, N. Y. is deemed just as
bad in Canton or Cathey, Essentially,
we are all pretty much the same
Americans and Chinese, Mret Ilarte's
surfaoo verdict notwithstanding. For

bad." ?Contributed to Florence
