Heart to Heart Talks By CHARLES N. LURIE WHEN THE IIEART^TOPS. Telling of his exi>erimeuts with a Hew 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 has been thought that when the heart stops beating life is dead. It no longer sends the vital fluid circulating through the body. Respiration and other functions cease. But 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. Ilf* may come back to the body. That Is bodily resurrection. But— Suppose the figurative heart, the center of the mental organism, stops beating. In other words, suppose the hope which animates the human belli-; seems to die. Can it lie set to going again? Just when the death of hope comes no one can tell. Probably never. Go among the sodden "down and outs” of the big cities, lined up per haps in the “bread line," and hold 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 see. Pass into the house of wealth where sorrow visibly expressed tells of a loved one taken away by death. Speak as the Master spoke of the sure resur rection, and. if yon speak in such wise as to carry conviction to the heart, hope will he rekindled in the mournful breast. There also 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 words of Him who said; “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Is not that rest the reawakening of the hope of the heart? Heart to Heart Talks By CHARLES N. LURIE OTHERS AND YOURSELF. "Be not angry tliut you cannot make others what you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself what you wish to be.” Words of wisdom from Thomas Kempls, the churchman of the fifteenth century, who wrote a "little book* that is still read and is accounted among the world's great storehouses of wisdom. How soothingly his words fall on the ear of the person impatient with in ferlority and wrongdoing! Let us try to analyze them. First “Be 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, as Omar Khayyam says, and 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 be able to make them what we wish them to be! How easy it would be if we could only make them see things as we view them or convince them that we are in the right and they are in the wrong! So certain are we of ourselves! There is the self confidence that is good, for it lends 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 on the strong rock of consciousness of right. No storms of opposition should be per mitted to shake it. But there is also the self 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 be. but we permit our limitations to bar the way. We know, for exam ple. that the attainment of a certain end requires the exercise of Industry and 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 is 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 ilea before M aU- WORRIED THE WAITER. JKltri Hie New Improvement on an Old Practical Joke. “Yes." suiil the head waiter, "I've peon the butt of all the practical jokes that harve been invented to make us people look foolish. The overturned pocket iuk bottle with Ihe black enameled spot caught me twice, and 1 signed the pledge di rectly after l was fooled by one of those rubber bulb arrangements by which dishes are made to rock up and down. But the other day 1 all but bad u tight on my hands v. lien a fellow put one over on mo with one of the oldest tricks on the mar ket. “He came in with a cigarette in his mouth, sat down at a table near a window and began studying the menti card. 1 happened to be watching him. Presently lie took the cigarette out of his mouth and laid it on the tablecloth beside him. I saw a red glint on the tip, hat 1 wasn’t going to be taken in by one of those fake lighted cigarettes that sell on tiie streets for h nickel, so 1 turned away. “in a minute 1 looked naek and saw him in the act of picking it up. Smoke was curling up from the lighted end! Then I went over to the man hot foot and asked him what he meant by putting a lighted cigarette on the tablecloth. 1 told him it would cost him $1 for n new cloth. “Well, he just looked tip at rae and smiled and said, ‘Tall guy!’ and explained that it was really n very simple matter. Ho had dipped the tip of the cigarette in muriatic acid before coming in and then moistened his finger from a small bottle of ammonia that lie carried with him. When the ammonia was brought near the acid it made smoke, and naturally I thought there was fire. L wonder what the next one will be.” New 'l ork Times. The Alert Censor. While Abdul Hamid was still upon the throne of Turkey, the president of the American Mission ary college at Tarsus sent to New York for a large consignment of textbooks. In due time all except the chemistries came safely. At first the president could not find out what was the matter, but finally the commissioner of the port sent for him. “Christian,” he said sternly, “it is not for you to complain. It is for you to give thanks to Allah that y u did not follow your diabolical books into the flames. Here is one copy that we saved for a witness. Not all of its deadly ciphers could we read, hut this is plain even to Ibe eve of a babe.” Pointing to the symbol 11 0. lie read with trium phant air arid voice, “Hamid Second [g Nothing!” Dickens’ Ideal Bedrooms. Dickens, who traveled much and suffered many bedrooms, gave spe cial regard to the equipment of the guests’ sleeping apartments in ins famous home, Gad’s Hill. In “Charles Dickens as I Knew Him," Charles Dolby records: “Each of these rooms contained the most comfortable of beds, a sofa, an easy chair, cane bottomed chairs —in which Mr. Pickens has great belief, always preferring to use one him self —a large sized writing table, profusely supplied with paper and envelopes of every description and *n almost daily change of new quill nens. There was a miniature libra ry of books in each room, a com fortable tire in winter, with shining copper kettle in each fireplace, and on a side table cups, saucers, tea caddy, teapot, sugar and milk.” Pins and Needles. What becomes of all the pins that are annually turned out in millions of millions by the pin factories? A Paris scientist, Dr. Xavier, has been experimenting on pins, hair pins and needles by the simple proc ess of watching a few. He states that they practically disappear into thin air by changing into ferrous oxide, a brownish rust that soon blows away in dust. An ordinary hairpin took only 154 days to blow away. A steel nib lasted just under fifteen months. A common pin took eighteen months to vanish. A pol ished steel needle defied the ravages of the atmosphere longest, taking two and a half years to disappear. Famous Rhode Island. It was a geography lesson, and the teacher had been asking what some of the different states were noted for. Looking at ODe of the little girls, she asked: “Tell me, Florence, what Rhode Island is celebrated for.” For a moment the child was si lent, then an inspiration apparently same to her. “Rhode Island,” replied the little _rirl, “is celebrated for being th* only one of the United States tha. is the smallest.”— Harper’s Mafc* xine. > county iouhnal, flout-haa., I EGAL ADVERTISEMENTS Awi lNisruATOßs Sai.k Georgia—Banks County.
