P President of Stanford University Speaks on Causes of Modern Pes- simism at First Congrega- tional Church. ——— President David Starr Jordan speaking yesterday morning from the pulpit of the First Congregational Church at Mason and Post streets declared the modern spirit of pessimism to be the product of either drugs, tobacco and wine, or dyspep- sia. Love and action, he declared, are the fundamental mainsprings of a healthy life, and no man can be possessed of the powers. essential for these qualities unless he leads a healthy life. If he possess them he must of necessity be a hopeful man, believing that “‘the great altar steps of life do not terminate in darkness, but lead ever upward to the throne of God.” The man who is not in possession of these faculties, said the speaker, becomes pes- simistic and the only reality he sces in life is death. The philosophy of despalr as embodied in Omar Khayyam served the speaker for an example from which to draw his de- ductiors. Dr. Jordan spoke in part as follows: As a layman I hav e the privil f show| the text that N G N hat [ base my sermon on to be fal- al For this reason I take the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, I shall try to show that are not sound philosophy. This poem perhaps constitutes our greatest, 1t Sorrow and sadness, however, have little to do with the philosophy of pessimism. In the transition from childhood to manhood there and obscure. | Following this there s fc d a | of abounding happiness, of | Then comes, however, almost Invariably a reaction, a sense that there | is nothing worth while, a feeling of contention | at the unknown power, embittering because un- | known, which deals out the cards of life. Most people pass through this period. Nearly every one becomes at some period in his life a cynic. With the most part it is but a | transient condition. With some it takes the form of imitation. pessimism culled from the perusal of cheap decadent literature. This was the cause a few years ago of the drooping col- | lars worn by the students, in imitation of the humble neckwear worn by Byron. One of the few things we know In life is | this—we can see or know nothing absolutely. | With a pessimistic philosopher ~ nothing . is worth while. If we take up the threads of life we can rever live. We must take up the ends that lie near to us. | War is a t cause of pessimism. All mili- | tant nations are decadent mations. They must eventually. decay. as did the great empire of Rome. That there seems no way out of this | is the cause or foundation from which arises | the philosophy of despair, built up by many of the t king men of BEurope. To see things they really are is the ob- philosophic pessimist. Tha to the causes which pro- duce, not to the things which are. The pessimist tells us that the only reality in life is death.

When the Danes conquered England and reached the villages around Sher~ wood Forest, all the Saxon men ran | off into the forest and the Danes took | the Saxon women to keep house for them. This bappened just before Lent and the Saxon women encouraged by their 1 fugitive lords, resolved to massacre their Danish masters on Ash Wed- nesday. Every woman who agreed to do this was to bake pancakes for their meal ) on Shrove Tuesday. This was done | as sort of a pledge, and that the mas- sacre of the Danes did take place on Ash Wednesday is an historical fact. It was a much greater undertaking to fry pancakes in those days than It is now; for with the H-0 Co.'s “ready to use™ packages of Buckwheat and Pancake Flour at every grocery store it ls as easy as boiling water. Pancakes were never liked so well until the Introduction of the H-0 Co.’s Pancake Flours. LLMAN, PECK &C0. ‘SOLE AGENTS WE ADVERTISEMENTS. TELEPHONE GRANT 33, ENB »Eg anEH 2922-224 SUTTER ST.
