And then, as the lady was about ta answer, she broke in upon her and answered for herself, “No don't say you do. I'd rather keep on believing you don't. It would help me more to relieve in you than ta find you human.” There is a part of us that likes to find to find that the people we ad- mire are only human and like oursclves after all. And there is a better part that likes to keep on believing they are not touched with earth, but are different and wonderful and all that we wistfully long to be and con- tinually strive towards and continualiy fail of. 1t is that better part which made Emerson write his “Had I a lover noble and free, wonld he were nobler than to love me."” It is that which stands behind Tennyson's beautiful “I had liefer ye were worthy of my love than to be loved again of you.” If You Had Not Been Good I Should Have Been More Wicked. It was that part of her which made poor struggling Gwendolen cry out to Daniel Deronda—"If you had not been good I should have been more wicked than I am, It is a poignant cry and one fraught with warning to those who are Ihnnored (and shackled) by the love and admiration of some other human being . No man can live to what arsument his life one owes it not only true to the best he him. “We are shaped fashioned by what we love,” says Goethe, You Do Nci Know The Good You May Be Doing. Without giving a word of advice, without making any active effort to influence another, you may be shaping someone’s character. Perhaps it seems to you that you are not dong much good in the world. You are trying to fill your small niche to the best of your abiilty, you are try- ing to be patient and courageous and kind, but the niche seems very small, you wish you might do greater things Fret not, my friend, you may be doing far greater things than you realize. “Go make thy garden as fair as thou canst, Thou workest ncver alone; Perchance he whose plot is next to thine May sec and mend his own.” (= (2 from other cities in which it h been shown Mr. Bushman plays a role suitable for his admirable per- sonality.
