We see ourselves drawing nearer the maelstrom of which is waged, in the main, between people who are led by leaders and_ people who are ruled by rulers. Hea ; Leaders, not rulers, are the need of the world today, as in Lincoln's time. war—a war We think of Lincoln as the man of the people; the commoner; the democrat; whose views were those of the great, intelligent masses; whose feelings, those of the men who toil. But we should not think of him as the ordinary man. Understand this difference! ee Lincoln, born lowly, son of a shiftless father, wet Neos eculiar people, the “poor white trash” of the Southern states, spent his ys in Cou toil “ta pored far into the night, by flickering candle, over the few books he could borrow from more fortunate neighbors. With a determination rare in the human race, he set about to become a master of knowledge, and by his own untiring zeal he raised himself from an unlettered mountain yokel to the most exalted position that man can bestow. That is why Lincoln, the con nf from umoner, was not an ordinary man ees Lincolns must spring from the common people, for only the common people can have the true brotherly outlook upon the problems and trials that beset mankind. E ; God hasten the time when the common people will produce more Lincolns! With a Lincoln in every land today, there would be no warring mil- lions, laying waste the land and widowing and orphaning humanity. Had Tolstoy been a Lincoln—had that great Russian been a peasant- born, with a full understanding of the peasant’s needs—the course of his- tory might be very different. ; The common people must and will prevail, in ev land. : But this happy day will not arrive until the common people realize “that the world is full of Lincolns—if they will only seek them out—and _. the peace dove. | - prepare to be led by them. tice to Teachers | CHOOL TEACHERS have renewed their efforts to gain) Wa law which would permit those who have taught for 30! { to retire with a guarantee of receiving not more than BO a year as a pension. | It would be a co-operative system, and teachers would} y a portion of their salaries each year into the fund.

Some one was coming to meet them, rising from 4 long chair on the veranda. Chloe looked from the sleek, fashionable young m coming down the steps with an air of own- ership, to Mrs, Cartaret’s face. and saw it was stricken white. Chloe read fear there. Then there was a quiet lifting, proud or stubborn, of the graceful body, As the car stopped, Mrs. Cartaret stepped down with outstretched hands “Why, Donald!” She kissed him.
