FINDING YOUR PLACE.
THIS IS AN AGE OF SPECIALIZA
TION. The man or woman who drifts
into The stream of life and knows not
either how to paddle or to steer the
boat, is soon lost in the eddy and
sunk out of sight. You must know
some one thing as well, if not better,
than your competitor. Efficiency comes
by long practice at the same thing.
There was a time when one man made
a shoe complete; he knew a little of
all parts of the making. But the com
ipleted shoe showed up very crude com
pared to the shoe of today, when each
part is made by an expert; and so
through every trade and branch of
business the cry is for experts.
With the closing of the school year
come thousands of young men and
women into the marts of trade seek
ing employment; a small portion only
having fitted themselves for a special
line of work; the others must accept
what is offered, whether it be to their
liking or not. How many really know
just what they are best suited for'.'
How much good shopkeeper material
has gone into the making of a poor
doctor? Failures can be traced almost
invariably to a lack of knowledge of
the subject at hand. Because someone
else seems to prosper in a certain pro
fession or business is no reason why
you can do the same thing. Perhaps
that is their forte, you may succeed
along another line where they would
fail. This can be verified daily by
noting the change in the same store
under different management.
It isn’t always an easy matter to find
your place in the scheme of things,
and sometimes when we do find it,
pride steps in and wrests it from us.
It is but natural when we start out
into the world to feel we should accept
nothing but the highest positions, but
let it not be forgotten Rome was not
built in a day, and it is no disgrace to
start at the bottom and work up; when
you do reach the top a foundation will
have been built strong enough to keep
you there.—The Chicago Defender.
A PRAYER FOR PEACE.
O! Prince of Peace,
Look down with pity on a wicked
world,
Bid warfare cease,
And let Thy spotless banner be un
furled
Above each blood-stained battlefield,
Where nations, in blind fury, wield
Their deadly weapons now
Against their fellow men.
Restore the kindly plough
Unto the earth, and then
Let ev’ry desecrated acre yield,
In sweet increase,
The fruits of peace.
Wrest from the hand of man the
sword,
And to his heart bring peace, O,
Lord.

THE OBJECT OF A SERMON.
“Bishop McDowell tells of a Metho
dist minister whose wife used to ask
him early in the week what was the
subject of his sermon for next Sun
day. One day she quite changed the
current of his ministry by asking not
for the subject but for the object ot
his sermon. It would he like dyna
mite in some church sessions if elders
and pastors would sit down squarely
before the question: 'What is the ob
ject of our being here? If the Lord
will give us ten years to work here in
this spot, what do we mean to have
done by that time? What is our pro
gram? We hold services and seek
members. Run an organization—
why?’’’—United Presbyterian.
A little four-year-old, a most attrac
tive little fairy, sudonly lost interest
in Sunday school. She had enjoyed
so much learning about Moses that
her mother could not understand the
change of attitude.
“Why don’t you want to go, daugh
ter?” she asked.
"Oh,” was the astonishing reply, “I
don’t ’ike to go to Sunday school since
Moses died.”
Teacher—Now, Johnny, can you tell
me what became of Noah and the
arft ?
Johnny—The bahy sucked all the
paint olT’n Noah, and Pa stepped on
the ark and smashed it.
