HUMAN FRAILITIES
line m' the most peculiar of the char
acteristics ,,f humanity is that seem
ingly innate desir, to belittle or de
tract from the value of something
which it does n,,t Itself conceive. It
matters not if l l,e object be in itself of
importance or value or ,f it represent
nothing of particular worth, the atti
tude is. nevertheless, the same. Dot
but a movement start even though it
embrace the eternal good ,,r mankind
and It speedily becomes tho object of
sheets and criticism. He who raises
Ids thoughts ahoy,- his sordid environ
ment and draws from the infinite some
beautiful and wondrous wisdom must
guard his head from the hurtling clods
cast upon him from every side. If one
rises abov e his fellows even though be
cause ,,f a most superlative merit he will
hear a thousand voices crying in deri
sion of his worth If .lolm. the plow
I"a. (lines by tin,ugbt and labor u, rise
to heights of fame, Ids fellow yokels
sneeringl.v question: "Why; he is not
different from ivc?" it matters not
4
I
what one does If It be above the range ]
of ordinary deeds a thousand carping i
voices arc ready to decry. Few of:
those who sought to lift the world
above its sordid circle, that the world
has not crucified. Few Indeed of the
great benefits that humanity now en
joys that have not suffered at their
birth from mankinds bitter scorn, in
deed. it seems that to be. even by an
inflnitesmal fraction, above the dead
level of mediocrity is looked upon, in a
measure, ns a crime.
Let some damsel of the village ven
ture forth among her sisters clad in
manner a la mode and the whispers,
scarce concealed, give ringing notice
that Jane is marked for envy or for
worse Let Jones, of the city, buy an
auto or a sparkling gegaw to bedotk
the person of his wife and this peculiar
trait becomes manifest In the whispered
question: "Where does he get the
money?" It’s a most peculiar world my
masters and there is no accounting
for all Us manifestations, not even by
the philosophers who have striven to
throw some light upon Its ways Dare
' to do right and you make enemies
, Seek to advance and you find scorn Of
! your efforts on every side and ready
hands to pull you back. Try to be all
that is good and kind and helpful to
your fellow creatures and while you
may have the blessings of those Whom
you have helped in trouble or comforted
jin affliction, you must not expect but
(that you will find plenty to question
! your motives and belittle whatever
credit you have gained And this,
'friends, in a great grand world, teeming
I With beautiful things and existing in
(the light of God's benediction
THE GERMAN NOTE.
| -
I’lie note delivered lo itic German
government in relation to ihe damage
m destruction of American vessels in
lie recently instituted war zone is
ev alently in the nature of an ultimatum
and as such is a matter of grave con
cern as containing infinite possibilities
01 trouble between the two nations. It
is dear that the government lias de
cided to assume a tii m stand in pro
le, ting tlie overseas commerce of the
l nited States and unless there is a
most careful avoidance-by both powers
of causes of contention, serious diill
i cullies are likely to arise. The future
altitude of the Foiled shales will, in a
measure, lie determined by the Ger
man reply, but under the present cir
cuiustamen, the Fnlted States is under
the necessity of backing up the stand
she has taken mid cannot now very
well retreat. There is little reason to
believe that there will be any difficulty,
but as has been stated there are possi
bilities It is very likely that Germany
will do much to avoid a rupture at tills
time, at least, as ihe Fnited States is
in a position to do that nation no little
hui in without actively entering into
the conflii t as a combatant. What the
German response will he cannot be
guessed, but il is reasonably certain
that ii will he couched in favorable
terms at least, and the vital possibilities
lie rather in the future attitude of the
Germans to such American vessels as
shall enter the new war zone
