ue, oi regret ana sorrow,
the hand of the Mighty Love
that can bring sweet waters out
of the bitterest desert the love
that can make the wrong thing
right, that can tura weeping in
to laughter, that can give beauty
for ashes, the garment of praise
or the spirit of heaviness, joy

I have nothing to do with yes

morrow with all its possible ad
versities, its burdens, its peril,
its large promises and poor per
formance, its failures and mis
takes, is as far beyond the reach
of my mastery as its dead sister
yesterday. Its sun will rise in
roseate splendor, or beyond a
mask of weeping clouds. But it
will rise. Until then the same
ove and patience that held yes
terday, and holds tomorrow, it
shines with tender promise into
the heart of to-day. I have no
possession in that unborn day of
grace. All else is in the infinite
keeping of that Infinite Love that
holds for me the treasure of yes

There is left for, myself, then,
but one day of the week to-day.
Any man can fight the battles of
to-day. Any woman can carry
the burdens of just one day.

"Fear Men."
Bradstreet's is authority for
the statement that only three per
cent of men who go into business
for themselves are successful. It
is safe to assume that the pro
portion of successes in other
fields, art music' authorship,
politics, social work etcetera, is
as small. The failures are made
so through fear. Fear of con
Bequences, fear of the future,
fear that we cannot finish suc
cessfully what we begin, fear of
our opponent unnecessary, illog
ical fear stands between us and
success, and with an apparently
impassable .arm bars our pro
gress. Those whom fear rules
we call "Fear men," because they
are not really men at all, but men
requiring a classification an' ap-
pology. There has hardly been
a time in American history when
men were called on more to over
come their fear than at the pres
ent time. Moral strength is need
ed In politics more than ever be
fore, and moral strength is as
far superior to physical Btrength
as the spiritual is above the nat
ural. It is told of Wellington
that before the battle of Water
loo, his knees shook so that he
laughed apd called attention to
them, saying: "If they knew
where I was going to carry them,
they would shake much worse."
That was moral courage over
coming physical fear, and this is
the courage that men must have
now if America is to go onward
and upward.
