'.'But Toiir party by the record of ita memhers in thp

performance and; by promise, approves the principle of

lQ the making of such an agreement, preserving
- American independence, and rights, as will meet every duty
America owes to humanity. . . . The Republican part is
not narrow enough, to limit itself to one idea, but wise and
- broad enough to provide for the adoption of the best plan

Xhcp or Calvin Collidge of the nomination for vice-president

THE LIFE BEAUTIFUL
'(Copyrighted by the San Jose Merenrv.
The greatest things in life are the simplest and the
' most beautiful." Life grows more and more complex and
. more unbeautiful as man allows himself to become engrossed
with the affairs and worries of the physical life and neglects
,..the piritaal. Life that might be fair and beautiful glares
-with cgliness. v - , v " ' "wfi tsrff'
?llan seeks happiness but never finds it until he turns
t "from the false glitter and show to true beauty, to the purity
" and goodness he may find in his own heart, to tlje homeliness
of commonlpace duties, to aspiration and reverence for the
Spirit of love and truth and virtue. u. . . , ,
;r Beauty is an everlasting principle that cannot die The
I beauty that appears in the perishable flower does not fade
with the natural ife .of the blossom but lives on. Beauty
T cf sea and mountain and desert is an immortal principle that
blesses for a time these physical forms, and when they Change
beauty lives on in some other form. The life center" or soul
of the blossom lives eternally and beauty glorifies it and
is reflected in the material. As the soul lives on when the
physical form dies its beauty lives as an inherent part, of
'its life. .. '. j '
It is well for man to lift his eyes unto the hills and
w beyond to the stars in the heavens; it is well for him to
become aware of treasures far greater than those he so
'jealously hoards, the truths and principles and powers and
rewards so immeasurably transcending all that he has before
comprehended or experienced. As he gains knowledge of these
higher possessions a blessed humility descends upon his
vain spirit. . : ' . ;
Simplicity, singleness of purpose, humility, unselfish
ness that claims nothing' for itself that may not be for
all, distinguish the life beautiful from mere hpysical ex
istence. The one ; great purpose of life is to increase the
goodness and love .of God in the heart of humanity. The
way is straight and clean and true.'; The life of the spiritual
man radiates purity from a shining soul. From its abund
ance it supplies ever yearning, hungering soul that asks
for spiritual food. - i
Without the vision of beauty life is sordid. . Without
hope of a greater outlook, , of a wider field of - labor and
service, beauty fades. Before we know the realities of life we
live in our dreams. Before we build our true home we fash
ion a castle in the air. I We add a tower here and a beautiful
window there, we train a blossoming vine over a porch and
plant more flowers in the garden until our airy castle is all
that imagination can desire. This is beneficial if we realize
that we must make our dreams come true and set to work
with a will to build up realities where ideals have been.
The habitation of the spirit, not made with hands, eten
al in the heavens is the beautiful home that we build by bur
noble thoughts, our unselfish deeds, our self denial, by the
overcoming of wrongs and weaknesses that mar our beauty
of character. . . , .
Love is a great universal sun that puts life and warmth
and color into hearts that are dead and ugly without it: it
animates and glorifies and beautifies the most sodden exis
tence; the latent good bursts into glorious bloom under its
lifegivmg rays; shadows and gloom are dispelled. Its inner
light .makes the whole nature aglow with beauty as the set
ting sun touches with radiance and color the heavy gray
clouds in the western sky.
titude toward the blessing of daily labor, conditions for bet
ter understanding between-brother and' brother might, he im
proved. ' . . ;
, Amid all the beauties that nature surrounds 'us with
we need the example of the life beautiful We need the
strengthening influence of lives that in spirit and achieve
ment fulfill our. ideals. ' ' ' ' . .
V "The Spirit may approprite all good; all the beauty
of the universe. may pass-within you and abide; all the pic
tures in the mind may be of surpassing loveliness; the light
that dwells, within may be above the shining of the sun.
We should look, then, to the spirit that is in us, that the light
in-us be not darkness.' . '

WHAT CAUSES WARS
The spiritual life is full of beauty because it is full of
love and of work as the expression, of lqve. There can
be no high unfoldment without love, and love is active
Back of every high accomplishment is the force of a great
love m the heart- love of humanity, love of all good, love
of God the source of all good, love of work itself as the ex
pression of active love and goodness. In work of this sort
there is an exhilaration that pushes one happily and joyfully
on to its completion. The faithful performance of so-called
trivial duties beautifies each task. To be careless or neglect
ful of the smallest link in the chain of homely, daily duties is
impossible because the harmony, and order , in one s work
would be destroyed. Love works only in harmony and the
work is the perfect expression of love only as it is done har
moniously. -i
The supreme joy in such labor is the consciousness that
constructive results are being reached that would have been
lacking had this particular labor not been put forth. A live
ly interest in the-work seems to fire every muscle and nerve
to double efficiency in its performance, 'and makes ; every
effort a delight far keener than one can know when he is
working alone for the compensation it brings him.
Love in the heart makes one solicitous for others, and
urges him on to help and to relieve them in every way pos
sible. Enveloped and saturated and controlled by love the
soil of the heart is made fertile, the air that one breathes is
electrified and energized by love, and the petty desires that
move one who has not this greatest of all possessions are all
swept away by the power of the flood from the living foun
tain. " . ' i ,
If the world, could learn the joy of work done under
the spiritual law instead of the law of selfishness much of the
misery in life would be overcome. If the trouble makers would
cease to cry out their warning of disaster to those who per
form their full measure of labor and cry twice as loud to warn
them of the peril of selfishness and greed and a wrong at-

PLEDGES YEAR'S WORK.
A REMARKABLE OFFER
.Take it from ye pastor: Some
great things may have been . ac
complished by excitement or des
peration, or wild impulse, but you
needn t be particularly wise or
observing to know that most is
accomplished by the man who re-
la na his mental poise; '"keeps
his head." I once . saw a weak I
swimmer become exhausted while
beyond his depths and saw
strong swimmer go readily to his
rescue. The drowning man for
got what he knew; that it is easy
to carry another in water, if the
dne carried submits willingly and
intelligently. Therefore, a strug
gle followed when the two met in
hich a double tragedy was avert
ed only by the fact that the strong
swimmer kept his head, fought
better and knocked out h's oppon
ent, after which he carried him
to shore. Had both been cool it
would have been easy . and had
both become excited It would have
been impossible. And the rule
applies as well to the other than
physical trouble. The fate which
seems to have you down and out
can be thwarted If you "keep your
head." If you do the best you
know. Instead of merely wasting
time in useless worry and anger.
And this trait, or habit will stand
tfultlvaCIon which will - bring it
within the range of possibilites j
even- for impulsive,, nervous or
weak-kneed persons. Arkansaw

THE' HOTEL- CHAPEL
The fact that there Is a chapel
in the new Biltmore hotel prompts
a newspaper to remark that this
's . the last word in. luxury in re

religion that needs chapels in ho

serene conformity with the grow
ing idea of taking religion into
the business world." It is barely

of a cloister within the walls of

From Paris comes a touching

are truly brothers, regardless -of
nationality, Le Mordant, the, cel

grieving deeply over his recent
blindness, which has robbed him
of "his career. The poet St. Pol
Roux has written an article stat
ing that he has the name of a
prominent foreign writer who has
offered one of his eyes for the
painter, if enrgeons feel that they
can successfully graft it. The man
desires that his name be kept
from the public, but will gladly

prospects of a successful opera

is given as the reason for his ex

Various experiments on some

of eye grafting have been pro

surgeon ever dreamed of the pos
sibility, of securing an eye from
another person to give to Che
blinded one, having confined
their experiments to transferring

THE STORY OF A BRAVE DOY
RULER
When Charles XII was crowned
king of Sweden in 1697, the coun
try - feared for its safety, for
Charles was only 15, and the peo
ple knew that Denmark. Russia
and Poland would think it a good
time to trjr to seize -the. Swedish
possessions. ' The new king wa3
a healthy boy who loved outdior
life and adventure.
When he was 18, the enemies
gathered ' their forces and advan
ced on the Swedish provinces. ' To
the f great joy- 'of his people,.
Charles was roused to action. He
rode to the head of his army,
cheered his soldiers with his en
thusiasm, and led them against
their antagonists.
'Charles soon proved ' that he
was not only brave, but that 'he
was a. military genius as well.
Denmark-was defeated, and then
Poland. In his first attack
Russia, although he was outnum
bered three to tone. he. gained a
1 victory. As he advanced further
into Russia, suffering great hard
ships, and. losing many men, ,he
was finally defeated by Peter .the
Great.. ;
. He was forced to flee to Turkey
wierehe tried unsuccessfully for
five years to regain what he had
lost. .';;.;'::.' " - . v-.
.He would not give up his coun
try's cause.' He was not the weak.
Indifferent ruler that his .people
had thought he would be. When
he was 36 he led an attack against
Denmark. It was mid-winter' anl
very cold, but he worked hand in
hand In -the trenches with bis
soldiers, where a? shot from the
enemy struck him, and he died
with his hand on his sword.

'Mrs. Jones won't want him tear
ing up the sod in her yard as he
has in ours." Andso Dix was
securely tied in their own front
yard and the children went off to

xr r7
'....
play hide and seek. ; ."'
They had been playing only a
6hort time when Dix marched into
the Jones' yard. " "Buster Clark,
did you untie him?" his sister
Helen demanded. "Take him
right back. Ton " know what
Mother said."
"I didn't let him loose." Bus
ter insisted, "but I saw Uohn un
there." ... " . ,
John shook his head. ' "Wily,
I. didn't do it. But I bet I know
who did." He pointed to his
younger sister. "I- saw Crac
coming out of our yard" ; J
"But I was only hiding there.
I didn't untie him. It must have
been Helen, or' maybe Dix did it
himself."
AH the children went back
home to see that he was properly
tied. They were deep in ?. their
same some time later, when Dt
appeared on the scene once more.
"Well, he didn't untie himself
this time, that's sure." Helen, de
clared. "Buster, If you think thl
is a joke you're badly mistaken
Take him home."
"Honest; lelen," tears came to
the little boy's eyes. "I didn't do
it." He looked at his older bro
ther accusingly but John did not
notice. He was still insisting
that Grace had done it. ..
This time Helen took him back
alone. She tied the' knot harder
than ever. "I'm going to hide up
here too and catch Busier,- she
decided. v i- -.v.
'If I can catch John ho i-sn'f
deny it," Buster thought. ' 'TV.
hide up there and keep an eye cz
him." John decided to do t
same to Grace and Grace still
pecting j Helen thought she wc 1 '
proTe it. V
So the next game each one c
the Clark children kept his eajla
eye on the one he suspected. They
were all so busy watching that
they forgot about the game. As
Peter Jones caught them one by
one they were astonished to dis
cover that Dix was loose again!
,'JWell, it wasn't Buster that
time," Helen had to admit. The
others, shook their heads, too.lu
hadn't been the one they suspect
ed. "It's Peter," they decided.
"He's- trying to play a Joke on
US.". " ' r"-. :-:. ' I : "
But Peter shook his head. "No,
Indeed," he insisted. "I wouldn't
let him loose. Mother doesn't
like to have him run in the yard."
Dix smiled his queer pony smile
out of the corner of his mouth as
they led, him back. He was proud
of himself. He could shake the
hardest knot loose.
