OTHER MEN’S MINDS.

Ordinary hard, work is the thing that keeps men alive.—The Bishop of SheffieldMUST BE FACED. ’Whether England can afford it or . nob, she will have to spend enough to . give her children tho best education . procurable.—Mr. IV. D. Bsntliff. THE PEACEMAKERS. Citizen armies should be regarded rather as missionaries of peace than ‘ us menaces to mankind.—Sir •George • Reid. -YEW METHODS WANTED. IVc are always wanting to model things on the past; but the call is for new. methods.—Dr. Seltie. THE - IDLE AGE, There is mere luxurious idleness today than there has ever been in the history of this country.—Mr. T. W. Russell, M.P. HAPPY COUNTRIES. My sympathies go out to those countries which have succeeded in resisting the introduction of railways.— Mr. John Dillon, M.P. THE GREATEST CHARITY. There is no charity deserving of greater support than that which lias for its object the care of the blind.— Mr. R. E. Bush. THE BARRED DOOR. Men and women to-day are so busy keeping the wolf from the door thatthey h ivo no time to let in the angels.—Rev. T. Phillips. THE NOBLER ANIMAL. The horse is a cleaner liver, a more wholesome feeder, and .a more patient worker than any man one ever meets. —Mr- I. Bradley. PATRIOTISM. It is more sensible to pay serious attention to the health of the nation than to sing “Rule Britannia.”—The Bishop of Stepney. 'TITLE REASON. Why are so many places of worship m down-town neighborhoods being turned into cinematograph theatres? It is because the minister cannot be sustained in these places by the Church that is there.—Dr. Clifford.

THE HALF-TIME SYSTEM. I protest against the maintcnsfnee of this principle of half-time. It is a scandalous waste of public money. The State spends millions in attempting to educate children, and just when the children are beginning to get a grip upon the education they are turned out as half-timers.—Mr W. Rea, M.P.,

DOCKING HORSES. People imagine that the docking ot a horse means no more than having a man's hear cut, hut the practice may bo better compared to the amputation of a thumb. Some say that it improves the look of a. horse, but I have ridden a docked horse in ia country where the sight was unusual, and I have been an object for laughter.—Mr Walter Winans.

BREAD AND BUTTER. Bread and butter are essential to national greatness. A good meal is as important a question as the maintenance of the Established Church, just as the parish pump is as important as the House of Lords. —Rev. A. T. Guttery.

ENGLISH COURAGE. Without being a spendthrift, iecKless valor, the typically English courage, is daunted by no peril if an end is to be gained.—Mr. J. A. Cramb.

ESSENTIALS TO SUCCESS. - Tile essentials to success in business are that a. man should know himself, know the other fellow, and know his business.—-Mr, A. F. Sheldon.

JUSTICE FOR THE NAVY. I deprecate strongly the treatment extended to both officers and men in tho Navy ; I pay my garden hoy higher wages than an able seaman receives. For sixty-one years a Bluejackets’s pay has not been increased, and it is part of tbe duty of everyone to rouse public opinion and see that justice is done to the Navy.—Mr Arnold White.

A DIFFERENCE. It is the very object of the clergy of the Established and vend owed Chinch to carry on a pastoral cure, while Nonconformists pre-eminently address tlior.jselves to the task rtf evangelising. Therefore, the Church is nob open to criticism because it is not at the same time carrying on the work of evangelisation with the same fervor and vigour with which other bodies which address themselves to do other work are carrying it on. —Canon Hensley Henson. HUMBLE FOLK.

Humanity is made up of cottagers more than statesmen ; and most of the names in its 'register are written in invisible ink. —Mr. F. J. Gould.

LIMITATIONS. However you distribute or re-dis-tribute human beings-, you cannot get more out of them than they have got to give you.—Mr. A. J. Balfour, M.P.

. THE BETTER POLICYTo take tilings as you. find them is an admirable policy. To leave them a little better is more admirable still. Mr. John Kershaw.

SONS OF DEVON. I wonder wliat London would do without Devonians. There is hardly a ministerial, professional, or literary movement in the City of London, and, indeed., in the world, in which Devonians do not take a prominent part.— Sir John W. Spear, M.P.

MORE PITY THAN SERVICE. Sympathy means pity, but compassion means service; and there is much more sympathy than compassion today.—Mr. Arthur Henderson. M.P.

A MONCPQHjr. 'i lie worst form of tactlessness is that arising from intellectual arrogance, and a belief that one has the monopoly of all truth.—Mr. J. tSt- C l . Heath. DANGEROUS THEORIES. Many theories that the credulous readily accept to-day are more dangerous than the mild-superstitions e, our ancestors.—Mr. L. G. H. Lee.

A BISHOP AND “WIRELESS.” Tho scientific layman cannot conceive the joy with which the discovery of wireless telegraphy is grasped by the mind of a bishop.—The Bishop of Bristol.

men of mark. Every man wlio.se life and work lias left its mark upon the progress of the race was a dreamer.—Air. James Parker, AI.P.

STRANGE, IF TRUE. Strange though it seems, women at present turn out the larger proportion of the wealth produced by industry in Great Britain. Air. J. Cameron Grant.
