SUPERSTITION LESS
HALLOWE’EN.
There should be no lamentations
over the divorcing of Hallowe’en
frpm its traditional association
with superstition and religion.
It need not be explained that
persons blessed with even the ru
diments of education no longer be
lieve that October 31 is the hal
ted night when all the spirit
orld revisits the natural world
id the night is filled with hob
iblins, broom-perched witches,
iystic black cats and other crea
tes of the imagination.
To be sure superstition has not
len wholly exterminated from
Ma the most enlightened coun
les, but education and the eman
ation of thought are gradually
staining that extermination.
While there are no regrets for
ie passing of the superstitions
ailowe’en there should be much
Joicing in the modern dedication
another hour in every year to
anksgiving for the generous
fts erf nature to mankind aa
amplified in the full harvest.
Hallowe’en has become a pleas 1 ?
I prelude to Thanksgiving as a
rvest time jubilee.
Ancient philosophers predicted
at Hallowe’en, once deprived of
i' spiritual significance, would
se its holiday prestige.
To ttie contrary that prestige
s been increased by the modern
bstitution of a harvest signifi
cance for the superstitious.
THE CREATIVE IMPULSE
Pessimistic critics or modern
industry who are forever harping
•bout the mechanical processes
making man a mere automaton
and destroying his “creative im
pulse” arouse the indignation of
of champion of the present day.
He admits that a man may get
tired of pushing a button or some
other mechanical operation, but
argues that the greater leisure
which modern industry permits
compared with the supposed idyllic
days when each cobbler made a
^ complete pair of shoes affords
much greater opportunity for men
tal development and the creative
Impulse of thought.
It is conceivable that the cob
ler often became as weary as his
modern successor in the factory
who does but one piece of work
hour after hour.
And when the long day’s work
was done the cobbler had no such
opportunities for recreation, en
joyment or development as his
twentieth century substitutes.
Do any one of the idealists who
long for the good old days and
the good old simple ways pause to
imagine how they would like to
get along without the comforts
and conveniences that mechanical
production alone brings within
their reach ?

close «each
day with at least some little ad

building; the pleasure of knowing
that something we have done has
speeded the other felloy on his
way—these are the things that
make life worth while.
No man is important in himself,
except as he is able to influence
others.
Any one individual is a mighty
small atom in the universe.
It is only as we are able to de
velop others, to bring out the best
that is in them; to guide them to
things to which they would not
have found their way alone; and
only as we are able to receive
from them what they have to
give, that we can grow and be
come a worthwhile part of the
scheme of things as they are.
These are the things that make
life complete.

Dr. Sun made no secret of the
fact that he looks upon Russia
as a friend.
a Formerly looked upon as an
enemy of China under the old im
perialistic regime, Russia is to
day a friend,” he said. “You see
that friendship expressing itself
in Chinese and Russian agree
ment, abolishing extra privileges
for foreigners, who in China are
outside our laws. Russia has done
what America has partly done,
remitted her share of the Boxer
indemnity. With over 1,000 miles
of territory bordering, we are
bound up on the same terms of
friendliness or enmity. We can
see well that we should be friends.
Russia is the only country which
has responded, all others having
persecuted us.”
