A clergyman who had discovered vice in his parish happened to take, this particular time to call at Police Headquarters to seck there a remedy | for this newly found iniquity. Williams looked up with surprise when the clergyman was ushered into his private office. He twirled his eyeglasses over his left ear, as was his custom when annoyed. “Certain blocks near my church,” the clergyman began, “are becom- ing vicious. I am doing my best to fight sin, and came here to ask your co-operation. I fear we need temporal as well as spiritual support if i: to be driven out.” : Williams was still more annoyed. “If you had your way what would | become of our jobs? If there were no sin or vice there would be no need | for any police force. 1 would have to get something else to do. Good-| day.” The days of such frankness in New York's police and political circles have passed away, but the same feeling which Alex Williams so out- spokenly represented continues predominant in many phases and classes of life. There are many profitable occupations which would vanish were sin and vice to cease. It is not the sinners themselves who grow rich and wax prosperous on their misdeeds, but the respectable business men who receive the proceeds in rent, sales and collections. The protests made to} the very committee before which Williams testified were not from the lawbreakers, but from furniture dealers, dressmakers, tailors and other reputable persons whose trade was injured and whose profits were dimin- ished by the agitation against vice. Without sin and vice there would be changes in the business world not less in magnitude than in the sphere of morals and conscience. Many more thousands of people than the police would be thrown out of equally legitimate jobs. The reconstruction of New York’s daily life would be economic as well as spiritual. rcris) AY NY Si) a Wy SANS) SAN The People’s Corner.

J. Miller. ROF. MILLER, of Chicago, says that no one who cannot answer these and about twenty other ques- tions In the affirmative is educated. ‘There is something curious in the occupations he se- lects by way of contrast, and one can’t help wondering why one's thoughts should be any higher in playing the Piano than in washing dishes. I would not like to qualify as an expert in either, but, having done both upon occasion, I think that any real work, however menial, tends to higher thinking than any pastime, however aesthetic. Idleness chloro- forms. the soul, making of it a little dried white butter- | fly that might be personified by the wings on Psyche's shoulders rather than by the ethereal Psyche herself. Work, on the contrary, is the soul's sovereign solace. In moments of | great sorrow, when neither our own reason nor the sympathy of friends avall, it gives us our only consolation and the soothing sameness of our | daily tasks, the narcotic influence of routine brings with them healing and | forgetfulness. | Our thoughts soar highest on the wings of sorrow. And sorrow’s sworn | enemy {s the idleness that gives it time to analyze itself, to practise a sort | of vivisection of the soul. The mother dreaming of her dead child; her thoughts hitched to the star where, In her fancy, his translated spirit dwells, may at that moment | be washing up the breakfast dishes. And the woman whose white fingers | fash a Chopin nocturne from ivory keys may be thinking that she wished | “Jack” wouldn't stare so long at the dinner check before he pays it. ‘Washing dishes and hoeing corn are in reality far more compatible with high thinking than playing golf or the piano, for idleness is not conducive to thinking at all. As for the Professor's second question, no one can truly answer {t tn | the affirmative. It 1s impossible to be happy alone. Not Byron, but our good father Adam was the first to discover that “happiness was born a twin.” We may be negatively content by ourselves. But even then the “soll. tude when we are least alone” {s filled with tender memories of a time when we were not so or sweet anticipations of the future when we shall be so no more, #___. ‘Said «x on e the we Side. | Pte i man leaves a bequest | ing that some was left over after the for the maintenance of his favor-| Commencement season demand was | ite horse.
