Telling of Ills experiments with a pew sort of respirator, a New York physician asserts that hearts which had ceased to pulsate for twenty-three minutes have been made to beat anew. It bus been thought tljat when the heart stops beating life Is dead. It no longer sends the vital fluid circulating through the body. Respiration and other functions cease. Hut now come the modern surgeons. With hands of wizardry they reach Into the cardiac cavity and set the heart to beating again. Unless actual death of the tissues has supervened, life may come back to the body. That Is bodily resurrection. But— Suppose the figurative heart, the center of Ihe mental organism, stops heating. In other words, suppose the hope which animates the human being seems to die. Can it be Set to going •gain ? Just when the death of hope comes ■o one can tell. Probably never. Go niriong the sodden “down and onts” of the big cities, lined up per haps in the "bread line," and bold out to them the prospect of a resurrection of their worldly fortunes. You will see the eye lighten and the back straighten. Hope Is not dead even there, you sea Pass Into the house of wealth where sorrow visibly expressed tells of loved one taken away by death. Speak ns the Master spoke of the sure resnr rectlon, and, If yon speak In such wise as to carry conviction to the heart, hope will be rekindled in the mournful breast. There ntso hope has not died. In fact, the physical restoration of the heart to Its functions Is a miracle not greater than the reawakening of hope. As the physician of the body may bring It back from the very brink of the grave, so may the physician of the soul. If properly equipped, restore Its life. Go to your Bible to read the word* of Him who said: "Come unto Me, all ye that labor nnd are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’* Is not that rest the reawakening of the hope of the heurt? Heart to Heart Talks By CHARLES N. LURIE OTHERS AND YOURSELf. "lie not angry that you cannot make others what you wish them to be, since you cannot itiako yourself what you wish to l>e.” Words of wisdom from Thomas s Kempis, the churchman of the fifteenth century, who wrote n “little book” that Is still rend and is accounted among the world's great storehouses of wisdom. How soothingly his words full on the oar of the person Impatient with iu ferlorlty and wrongdoing! la*t us try to analyze them. First, “lie not angry that you can not make others what you wish them to be.” Some of us have wished that we could remold the world nearer to the heart’s desire, ns Omar Khayyam says, aud many of us have desired to work a change In those about us. When we are embittered by their opposition or infuriated by their stu pidity. what would we not give to l>e able to make them what we wish them to he! How easy it would he if we could only make them see things us we view them or convince them that we are in the right nnd they are in the wrong 1 So certain are we of ourselves! There is the self confidence that Is good, for it leuds strength to the arm and keenness to the brain in doing the work that must be done. Such Is the self reliance that is founded ou the strong rock of consciousness of right. No storms of opposition should be per mitted to shake it. lint there is also the seif confidence which is mistaken and which is merely stubbornness in the wrong. That Is the spirit which makes us wish to make others what we want them to be. heedless of our own shortcomings. For is it not true that we cannot make ourselves what we wish to be? We know well what we should like to lie. but we permit our limitations to liar tlie way. We know, for exam ple. that the attainment of a certain oud requires the exercise of Industry nnd unremitting effort, but we go In our old, slothful, unavailing way—un til the golden time of opportunity Is no more. We see the light of righteousness and willfully blind ourselves to It That ts the weakness of our human na ture. We should not be angry, therefore, because we cannot remodel the world and Its conditions and our neighbors to suit ourselves, since in our hearts we know that It Is hard to bring our selves to make progress toward the goal of perfection which lies before ns all COUNTY IQCKMAL, HOIStit.GA..
