of things you would do if you could,
quite another to do those things. We
write and talk of being really anxious
to help; but give us a chance and we
often find away out. Yet there are
those who make no protestations,
but do a world of real, practical work.
I have often wondered at the empti
ness of some natures, and the’ full
ness of others. But to be helpful
means more than empty, meaningless
talk. It is to be kind, practical and
responsible—let people have a feeling
of security in mtr'help, in our char
acter; let them feel that we are a
support morally and spiritually. Have
an influence: a man without an in
fluence is a thoroughly empty, worth
less character. As you meet people,
try to influence them for good, not
merely by talking to them, but by
living true, and helpful lives. Let me
make my meaning clearer. Two wo
men were friends. One married a fine
mi an, against her people’s wishes, and
went from her city home and an at
mosphere of culture, music, lectures
and worldliness, to his country home,
a stock farm, where poultry and plant
ing were the features of the day. He
had also several children. She was
warned that the new and strange en
vironment would pall, but said
she “loved him and would make all
changes for his sake.” After the first
few months the novelty wore off, and
with her homefolks to help her dis
content by their constant comparisons
and reflections, she became really un
happy, neglected the house, thought
his children unmanageable, looked on
the stock and poultry with disgust
and repulsion, and, despite his limited
resources, caused by misfortune and
heavy doctor’s bills for her, she spent
car-fare for many trips to town, to lec
tures, and theatres, and subscribed to
circulating libraries —in fact spent
enough money in that way to have
dressed her nicely, knowing well that
her husband couldn’t afford it, yet de
claring “she couldn’t possibly bury
herself alive in the country and fool
w’th coarse fowls and stock.” Her
friend visited her often. She didn’t
approve of her conduct, but said noth
ing. excusing herself by saying, it is
none of my bus'ness how she lives, I
sha’n’t middle. The husband protes
ted. tried to get his wife to care for
her home and live to higher duties.
She met h?s protests with temper and
reproaches, and saying, “My family
approve of my conduct; even my
friend approves, and I have a lot of
confidence in her.” The husband, of
course, resented this friend’s attitude,
in fact, haded her, but couldn’t ob
ject to her visits. I said to the
friend: “You don’t approve of Annie’s
conduct, why don’t you use your in
fluence to change her?” She answer
ed: “That is none of my business.
She would consider me meddling. I
attend to my affairs and leave her to
work out her own problems.” Can’t
vnu understand how easily she could
have influenced her blind friend to a
higher ideal of duty? Yet she didn’t
even try. She didn’t care. She had
no moral strength, no spiritual
strength, and therefore she had no in
fluence. She was too lazy and elimi
nat’ve to use an influence, in fact, she
was, morally unreliable. Have an in
fluence and use it for good. Let your
friendship for people mean something
to them. Let them feel that your in
fluence will be good.- and that you will
use it if they need it. Cultivate a
moral nature, and strengthen it by
constant use. Don’t be a moral no
nentity. This rests w : th you. Reason
things out and study methods and re
sults. Gain a place of influence and
hold it by using it for the good of
those about you. The White Rose.
