We meét 50 many shells that masquerade as men that it 1s a delight to run across a real man whom money cannot bus, who, ré- fuses to turn down his friends for gain, and who will not climb up the ladder by pulling somebody else down. 1 am - qlined to think they are not the exception even in a world where there is too much selfishness. One of the most dramatic incidents'in Europe at the close of. the 18th cenfury was in 1789 when Mifa- Beau, with 2 hundred bayonets pointed &t him, delibérately rose in the French as- sembly and defended the Third Estate. For a while France forgot his faults M tlie triumph of his manhood. This Was like “the fising of Charles Sumner in the sénate of the United States in 1860, in the seat where four years previously he had, been stricken down by the hand of Yiolbnee, to pronounce again, inthe face 6t a vindictive power, the doom of slavery.” It was a spectacle of moral grandour that made even South Caro- ling, that atfemjted to assassinate him, applaud. . It is = fundemental fact that must not be forgotten that when a mian does his best to live Society is morally bound to give him at least & living wage. 1f soclety fails here it will make a fatal| mistake, and the Vesuvius of discontent will mutter until the wrong is righted. But men must beware of avarice and fot put a ridiculous value upon the living | wage. All men have a right to ive well but all cannot expect to live Ve princes. The forcible demand for rights is justi- fled only as a last resort. There are times when the individual, itke the .na- tion, must uohold his honor. We are shoulder” spoiling for a fight. But we must stand up and defend our rights like good soldlers. There are times when the soidier ought {o sing and pray, but even God Himself is not pleased when the soldier sings and prays when the bugle calls to arms! But the greatest caution must be taken in not making n e orbitant demand for the price of labor. Are you now getting a reasonable living wage? .

Apart frem: belng the day on which our presidents are inaugurated, March 4 has figured quite prominently in Amer- fean history. The first record we have of this day as in any Way connested with the life of the nation was in 1628. when on March & after persistent efforts, a royal grant wes obtained from Charles the First “for the company of the Massa- chusetts bay,” whose abie governor was John Endicott. This was the first legal recognition of colonfal rule in New England by the British government. An- other important evept- transpired in our early history on March 4, 1681, when Pennsylvania was granted to Willam Penn. Had 2 man less irenic in epirit stood In Penn's shoes the trend of his- tory In that great state might have besn entirely different. On March 4, 1789, the first_congress under the constttution met in New York, this being the political Suctessor to the old and, in many ways, disastrous Continental = congress. The first president to be Snaugurated on, March 4 was William Henry Harrison, in 1841, and who died just one month later. Mow plain 1t i from every point of vislon that God_ordains and nature per- petuates differenices according to fixed laws. It would seem as though the God of creation had some grudge against like- nesses, uniformity and dead levels be- cause He everywhete revels in diversity. A good iNustration of this is found in the surface of the earth which accentu- ates diversities. Why is not this surface an elevated plateau extending from mid- continent to the shore?
