We ask you if you think ft an exaggeration, Is it not the plain TRUTH tm pictur Bee the pale, emaciated foes, the pitiful stoop of the shoul dera, tho lackduster eyes. What a ghastly spectacie! ae: Children—not YOUR children or OUR chtidren, perhaps, but 4 SOMEBODY'S children, leaving the sunshine of life for the midnignt - depths of fiving death—no laughter, no happiness of childhood, no g Joy of life's playtime, Sometimes a plctare says more than words can ever aay, Per haps you remember that great picture exhibited at Chicago—"Break ing Home Ties. Thousands stood before ft, silent. It told its own ad story, and it told it in such a way that wp all understood, We believe Artist Hurlbut's picture tells its story better than words oan. In tt the artist considers not only a question of the children who spend their tives in the mines, but be would have you think of the b awtul injustice done children the world over in the name of money Wf we are worth being loved ourselves we al! love a child. We have all been chifdren. We know what tt moans But suppose YOUR childhood, tustead of being spent ia the sunshine and under the green trees, had been lived as # mere unit of human energy ft y & cotton mill, or a coal mine, or a sweatshop—IF YOUR CHILD HOOD HAD BEEN OFFERED UP AS A SACRIFICE ON THE ALTAR OF GREEOr y The Star delle that child Iabor ta the vilest curse of our 3 mation. Look upon this truthful picture presented today, and learn from it your duty to the cause of Hite children Heroism ofa Preacher's Son Tf you start out to look for heroes, you will never find them They are selfdiscovered; they are likely to be created by the smallest and most unexpected cireumstance Heroism is spontaneous. The Editoe of The Star ts Rot golng to write you an essay today on the subject of heroism, but repeat to you a story told recently by Bishop Potter, head of the Episcopal church in New York. It is &@ short story, and an interesting story. Wo would like to have The Star's family of readers think adout it and discuss ft We print ft Because of the good we hope it will do BISHOP POTTER'S STORY. “I was called upon the other day to speak to one of our clergy fato whose life had come a great sorrow. By a tragedy he had lost | @2 only son, end whea I went to him to speak such poor words as I could, out of hts grief he told me this story of the boy, who had been tn the employ of a great corperation “He was charged one day with the duty of going to a man who Dad lost both hiv limbs tm « catastrophe in which undoubtedly the | corporation was not negligent, but-which the boy did not know at the time. "Take this check for $250, they sald. ‘Go te the hospitel give it to the man, and take bis re t in fall for all claims by him against the company.’ The check seemed 4 paltry compensation for the grest injuries sustained, and the boy sald, ‘I cannot dot T cannot do it” “*¥You cannot do ft? What do you mean? You are to do what you are told to do,’ they replied “And the youth said, ‘I am ander the eye of God, and that for bids me doing it" “Betteve me, my brethren, you may raise statues sod mone ments to heroes fallen upon the battiefiekis, but | dare say go more splendid act of berotsm than that of this young man i# on the pages er ‘of Ristory. The head of the great corporation, be It said to his cred % ff, said, when they talked of discharging the young man, ‘No; he shall not be compelled to go contrary to hia conscience.
