SUICIDES
El wood Worcester says in his
« < The Living Word”: » » After all,
yu cannot suicide but ouce. Are
you sure this is the time to do it?
Are you sure that you are not fly¬
ing fr<>in one torture chamber to
another worse torture chamber,
from which you cannot fly until
you have paid the uttermost far
thine?” Suicides are either weak
and petulant, generally that, or
cowards, frequently so, or grossly
animal, not believing m soul or
Cod, or insane.
P pie who petulantly and
whimsically thiuk of committing
suiciie ought to be ashamed of
t’.ni. almost unpardonable little¬
ness. As long as one throb- of
sense or one grain of bravery, or
one impulse of love for anybody
-
o: earth or in heaven, or concern
for his immortal soul, or reverence
for God, or fear of future punish- j
meut remains, he should call him
r.Cf a fool for the slightest thought
of such an action. Let such re
cal' in their hours ot suffering and {
d 2 ■ p ■iatmeuts that they are ex¬
cited, or morbid, or sick, or mis¬
taken. and that with the return of
a new d ly they will find help in
God ot some one ot his angels,
whether it be a flower or a cloud,
a child or the touch of a kindly
hand. Except when insane, there
is no hope of any pardon in eterni¬
ty for the suicide.
LEFT HANDED PHILOSOPHY
Folks who remember what to
forget have found pretty nearly
the secret of true popularity.
Realizing one’s importance
comes along about the time other
folks begin to doubt it.
There are people in the world
who not only do not believe all
they hear, not even all they say.
Curious, ain’t it, how much big¬
ger the sum is you have to pay
buck than it was wheu y®u' bor¬
rowed it?
Sometimes it’s pretty hard to
distinguish between the truthful
enemy and the lying friend,
Do Not Limit Your Ability
Poverty and failure are self-in¬
vited. The disaster people dread
o ten comes to them. Woyiy
and anxiety enfeeble their force
of mind and so blunt their crea
tive and productive faculties that
they are unable to exercise them
properly, Fear of failure, or lack
of faith in one’s ability is one of
t/m most potent causes of failure.
Many people of aplfmdid powers
have Httaine l m y mediocre suc¬
cess, and some are total failures,
because they stt bounds to their
achfevments, beyond which they
did not allow themselves to think
t -vo-uld not pass. They put
limitations to their ability; they
c ist their stumbling blocks in their
wuy by aiming only at mediocrity
or predicting failure for them.

Doctor Potter tells the story of
a young man who stood at the bar
of u court of justice to be senten¬
ced lor forgery. The judge had
known him from a child, for bis
father had been a famous legal
light and his work on the Law of
Trust was the most exhaustive
work on the subject in exis

your father, sir?” asked the
judge sternly, ‘‘that father whom
VmU have disgraced?” The pris
oner answered: *T remember
him perfectly. Wheu I went to

be would look up from his book
on the Law of the Trusts and say,
•Run nway, boy, I am busy.’ My

Recently The Enterprise made its readers a remarkable
clubbing offer with the Woman’s Home Companion.
The offer to us at this low price expired on February
15th, before all had an opportunity of taking advan¬
tage of it, and we have had a number of calls for the
combination since the offer closed, but we were un¬
able to fill them.
The clubbing offer had such remarkable success,
and there has been such a demand for another club¬
bing offer that we have decided to make one.
By especial arrangement and good fortune we are
