“AS IT HATH PLEASED HIM.”
A visiting minister told a group of Omaha listen
ers last week about a little African girl, born in the
midst of savagery, who had been brought over here
by a missionary, educated and trained, and is now
holding a high position.
Nothing especially strange or marvelous in that.
Environment determined, as environment usually
does. Had the little girl remained among her own
people, she might have come to a high position in
her society, yet would have remained a savage. The
difference is, not having known any other she would
have been satisfied with the life she led. A British
traveler of note, editor of a London newspaper, of
fered to take the son of a pedouin chief to London,
educate him, and return him to his people. The
father refused to consent, saying his son would
get the training he needed to govern the rovers he
would lead, and that the things he would learn in
London would be of little service to him in the
desert.
At one point in life the germ baffles the biol
ogist, who can not tell if it will become one
thing or another; it may be any one of created liv
ing forms in the end. Environment determines.
Heredity has its influence, but comes into sway only
after the course of the collection of gerftis has been
determined by the conditions under which they are
grouped.
"And that which thou sowest. thou sowest not
that body that shall be, but bare grain. It may
chance of wheat, or of some other grain; but Clod
giveth it a body as it hath pleased Him, and to
every seed his own body."
Many bright lights shine on the path of man,
gleaming from sources that had been obscured and
dim, and even without light at all in the beginning.
Men and women have risen from the depths of pov
erty and ignorance to the heights of power and
wealth, coming up a long and weary way, driven
by something they did not understand and could
not resist. They may have been “junk,” but they
were brightened up, and, when lifted from the
lowly stage where they started, they shone in divine
effulgence as beacons to their fellows.
“There is a destiny that shapes our ends, rough
hew them as we may.” Who will say that God
does not in some manner direct that destiny, and
as He gives a body to the new grain that grows
from the seed, give in like manner a life to each
soul, “as it hath pleased Him?”
THE STUFF THAT WINS.
If “grown-ups” could show the same determina
tion and resourcefulness often exhibited by the
youngsters, there would be fewer people who are
termed “down and outers” in this world.
A little boy in Albion, Neb., had cherished a
dream of some day becoming a Boy Scout, but be
cause of infantile paralysis in early childhood, his
parents decided his strength at the age of 12 would
not permit of the hikes, so he must wait another
year. The year slowly passed, but by that time
the organization in his home town was on the point
of disbanding because of lack of co-operation on
the part of the citizens. The case looked hopeless,
even to the willing scoutmaster, but not to the boy.
He called on different ones about town, not with
a hopeless or dejected air, but with a spirit of ani
mation and sanguinity that could not be denied.
No soliciting was done, but before the evening was
over one man had volunteered assistance and the
boy’s own father had offered a site for a scout
camp with enough logs from the native timber to
build a cabin of suitable size. Word was immedi
ately carried to the scoutmaster, who readily re
sponded to the little chap’s suggestions. If the
hopes and plans of these two conspirators are car
ried out, Albion will have a good, strong organiza
tion of Boy Scouts, with a permanent camp, loca
ted on an ideal spot along the Beaver,
The boy who wished to become a scout has set
a fitting example to older people. There are too
many who bewail their failure in life and lay all
to lack of opportunity. They wait for the knock,
and even when it comes fail to meet it half way.
Those who reach the top of the ladder are the one*
who go out of their way to seek opportunity with
a courage and determination that accepts of no
defeat.
APROPOS OF THE MOTOR SHOW.
Whatever adds a new thrill to life, add* to the
length of life. We live not by clock-ticks, by the
calendar or any form of measured time. And-no
discovery in all man’s record has added more to life
than has the automobile. Shortening the distance
from point to point, it has given us all and more
than the savings it has accomplished. What was but
a short time ago a weary and toilsome journey, is
now but a short and pleasant ride, and joy has re
placed dread at contemplation of the trip.
Among other things the motor car has done is
to bring city and country together, after a fashion
that has benefited both. City folks can go miles
away from the purlieus of smokestacks and street
cars, and, free from din and dust, enjoy the hours
of leisure in the open. Country folks with equal
facity may vary their quiet lives with occasional
forays into the teeming, noisy, grouping of buildings
and men, called the city, there to partake of tho
excitement and pleasures, and return in a few. hours
to the content of a country home.
A city cynic has called tho automobile “a groat
asset by day, and a liability at night.” After dark,
the automobile does have its drawbacks, tine never
knows what tho other fellow is going to do, con
sequently one is always a little apprehensive. Yet,
when the way is clear, and road is in good condi
tion, the pleasure of a night drive, if the company
is just right, is not negligible.
Bootleggers and various birds of prey make the
automobile a great accessory to their marauding pil
grimages, which arc carried on mostly at, night, but
•his is no fault of the cnr. That it is adaptable is
in its favor. Evil is the shadow of the good, and
bad men can drive as skillfully as the most trust
worthy.
From any point of view, the uutornobile deserves
the attention it hss received, because it Is n wonder
ful asiusUnt to man in all his undertakings.

SUPPRESSED TALENTS. ^ j
A fantastic story is that during the middle ages
a group of wicked men made a practice of fitting
the bodies of babies into jugs and vases of various
form. Here they were kept till the body grew into
the shape of the vessel which encased it. Then
the frame was removed and the child, shaped like
a jug or bottle, was sold for the amusement of a
depraved populace. '
We shudder at the thought of anything so re
pulsive as this story suggests, and no punishment
seems too drastic for one who would so mar or
distort the body of a child. But the soul even as
the body lends itself to distortion and deformity.
Environment may dwarf the mind and form the
soul into a hideous thing. The ideal way would
seem to be that the soul of a child should be free
and unfettered to develop according to its natural
trend unhampered by shaping influence of any
kind, but experience has shown that beautiful
characters do not develop where children are al
lowed just to grow. It is necessary to build up
around them such restraint and influence ns will
check untoward growth. Clipping away the off
shoots. Protecting the tender buds of goQd intent.
On the other hand, those having the care of chil
dren may and often do err on the side of too much
restraint. Parents sometimes act as if the child's
life were some kind of jelly Substance to be poured
into molds of the parents’ making, with no re
gard for the individuality or natural bent of the !
child. Children are forced into unnatural relations, I
often shaping their lives along lines that are repug- 1
nant to them, following careers for which they have
no inclination or interest. Sometimes parents
achieve their ends by harsh measures, but more
often by the power of suggestive influence. Here
a little and there a little, they apply the torch of
persuasion, and pat and press into a semblance of
their dream, one who would have achieved some
thing of more worth to himself and to humanity if
given room for development of natural abilities.
It is well for parents to maintain a high pur
pose in regard to the future of their children. To
hand down to them such inheritance as will fit them '
for a strong life. To surround them with influ
ences that will tend to strength of character and
i ideals. To teach them the uses of freedom
:... ontrol. To train them in way of life. But
not to absorb them, to envelop their lives, their :
thoughts or ideals. To stamp out the individuality
of any life is wrong, all wrong.
PIONEERING IN MORTAR.
Echoes of Nebraska's new state capitol will re- !
sound throughout the cities and towns of the state, i
says Dr. H. B. Alexander. That will mean at last
that a native architecture has sprung up out here on
the Great Plains It is fitting that on these broad i
spaces our public buildings should strive to express !
something distinctive. To continue to be content to
echo the designs of the ancient Greeks, of the ;
Egyptian. Gothic or modern factory style of archi
tecture is to miss the opportunity and meaning of
life in the middlewest.
All art did not die with the Greeks, and the
pioneering spirit of Nebraska might well be turned
to account in adventures along cultural trails. When
once the new capitol is erected, it will be found that
its porticos and general outlines, exclusive of the
tower, are such that they may be adapted to a
variety of purposes. Schools, courthouses, city
halls and postofflees might better be built with this
as their inspiration rather than as at present, like
ancient temples, modern knitting mills or anything
from a cathedral to a castle on the Rhine.
The middlewest is different from any other part !
of the world Instead of trying shamefacedly to
conceal these differences, it would much better take
pride in them and develop along new and individual
lines. It is not solely a matter of architecture, but
of the whole field of culture. Soon a beginning mast
be made, and the building of a new capitol provides
a good point from which to start.
THE WAY OUT IS UP.
Amidst all the turmoil of present day life, with
wars and rumors of wars on every hand, statesmen
and diplomat*,’ Scholars and students, are vainly
striving for a solution that will lead the world to
peace and good will. Striving in vain, because their
every solution is based upon human selfishness and
greed, they look around on all sides, peering for
some avenue of escape that will allow them to retain
what they have and get a little more while escaping.
And all the while the real solution lies ready to hand
if they will see it and act upon it.
‘‘And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men un
to Me.”
With all due respect for statesmen and diplomats,
savants and students, the only way out is up. The
nations that have forgotten God are of God for
gotten. Eyes blinded by greed no longer see the
gleaming cross, and hearts cankered by selfishness
no longer respond to the Golden Rule.
Not until the Carpenter of Nazareth is lifted up,
and eyes are turned upon him and ears opened to
hear His humane philosophy, will come the peace
that passeth undertnnding. The way out is not
through the devious mazes of diplomacy, but up,
by harkening again to the Sermon on the Mount and
living thereby; by living the Golden Rule in Individ
ual nnd national life, and by w-Rlking in the pnths
made plain by the fathers and mothers of Israel.
FINDING A WIFE.
Getting married is for most .persons not a very
difficult tank All in all, it is usually much harder
to avoid matrimony. Almost it seems ns if the
whole world were In n conspiracy to pair off tho
population. How. then, are to be explained the fre
quent letters to public officials from lonesome men
or women who complain that they cannot find a
mate and ask to bo put in touch with a better or a
lesser half?
Perhaps these anxious inquiries proceed from
person * who art hard to suit or at least are unable
to romanticize over the persons within their circl*
of acquaintanceship. Some, no doubt, lack the eour
age to conduct their wooing in person and hope i,>
progress by the easy stages of correspondence.
Others will he found unworthy, perhaps scheming,
and so unfavorably known In their own communities
that they must, go far afield to make a catch.
True romnnee does not clothe itself in such dull
colored garments. It is impossible to think of any
thing more sordid and less attractive than a matri
monial bureau, or a lees promising introduction than
that made in response to an appeal for aid to some
public official. Marriage is not thus to lie sought in
cold blood, hut Is to be looked for ns the natural
outgrowth of propinquity, the fruit of acquaintance
ship and the result of forces primeval, scarcely un
derstood and most certainly beyond individual con
trol. At the very least, a person who announce* to
the world the intention to get married, catch ns (
catch can, stands n smaller chance than on" who re
mains discreetly silent and awaits the hour of fate, i
Under the
Student Lamp
By HIM, M. WAITIN’.
It is said that when one tread*
upon the threshold of the “lean and
slippered pantaloon" age, one's mind
instinctively turns back-to the yes
terdays. Whether or not this is true,
my mind goes I>ack tonight as there
comes through the window of my den
the jazzy music of an orchestra in
the hall just across the street. In
pace of the glaring Incandescent light
that swings above my battered old
typewriter, I can see with memory's
eye the now obsolete “student lamp,"
which was. in Its day, as much of an
improvement oyer the flickering old
kerosene lamp as the incandescent
lamp of today Is an improvement over
the old student lamp.
I am not yet three score, but being
a native born Missourian 1 am fa
miliar with the tallow candle, and 1
have seen all the Improvements there
on—the flat-wick lamp, the round-wlck
lamp, the.student lamp, and now the
incandescent. And 1 would talk to
you now of the good old days of the
student lamp, and cuinpare them in
some measure with the Incandescent
light of today and all the things that
were found therewith.
Far be it from me to say that the
boys and girls of today are worse
than the boy* and girls of my young
er days. I know better, and so do
you. But we boys and girls of yester
day were fortunate in having letter
parents, as a rule, than the boys and
girls of today can boast. This is a
confession on my part, for it so hap
pens that I have four boys and four
girls of my own.
From across the street come the
syncopated noises In which the chick
ing of drumsticks on a hollow box?
the clanging of cowbells, the blare of
a saxophone and the slambanging of
i piano makes a medley which im
pels me to say that if the result is real
music than I mn John Phillip Sonsa.
The street is lined with automobiles.
Through the windows of the dance
hall I can see couples gyrating up
and down and cheek to cheek, shoul
ders wriggling, hips undulating and
spinal curvature, threatening. of
course the dancers are enjoying it. or
they wouldn't be dancing. But what
about the times we youngsters used
to have In the days when the student
lamp was In its prime, and old Dobblrt
hitched to the buggy furnished the
motive power that carried us to and
fro?
Dances were not quite so common
in those days. As a matter of fact,
dancing was rather frowned upon,
and those of us who did Indulge oc
casionally were considered as being
headed along the broad way that
l-udeth to destruction. Heavens to
Betsy! Suppose we had dared to
rtanc ■ then like they dance now. and
to the same sort of music! Why,
bless your soul, our most daring
dances in those days would have been
the very acme of decorum by the side
if the commonest sort of dancing
these days.
Among other difference* between
the dances of yesterday and today Is
the fact that one had to have some
brains to learn those oft dances—the
landers, the minuet, all the changes
f the quadrille, Virginia reel, money
musk, schottische nnd polka Anybody
who can wriggle and jiggle in any
thing like time to syncopated noise
can get sway with It on the modern
hall room floor.
In my stud -nt lamp days we had
real music. We didn't know a thing
about this or that "blues," hammered
out on Cowbells nnd tooted from blar
ing saxophones, but We did know the
beautiful rhythm of "When the
Leaves Begin to Turn" ns brought
out by Addle and piano. We recog
nised ’the "Blue Danube waltxes"
when we heard them, nnd when "Tur
key In the Straw" started we could
follow- the most Intricate changes any
prompter could call. If somebody
tri«-l to stage the old "Firemens
Dance" in that hall across the street,
those foxtrotting youngster* would
v t It mixed up hopelessly before the
second "nlamun left " Yes. it took
both brains and gracefulness to dance
In my student lamp day*.
There Is the noise of an auto with
the cut-out wide open turning In at

•alge on the young fellows of these
incandescent lamp days—or nights.
Old Dobblfl could do his own steering.
I have a wonderful money making
scheme In my mind—If I only could
locate some "angel" to hack me I

If HYMN BEFORE BIRTH
I
-By JOHN G. NEIHARDT. - ;
j Soon shall you come as the dawn from the dumb abysm of night,
Traveller blrthward, Hastener earthward out of the gloom!
Soon shall you rest on a soft white breast from the measureless mid world
flight;
Waken In fear at the miracle, light, In the pain-hushed room.
Lovingly fondled, fearfully guarded by hands that are tender,
Frail shall you seem as a dream that must fall In the swirl of the morrow;
Oh, but the vast, immemorial past of Ineffable splendor.
Forfeited soon in the pangful surrender to Sense and to Sorrow!
Who shall unravel your tangle of travel, uncurtain your history?
Have you not run with the sun-gladdened feet of a thaw? „
\ Lurked as a thrill In the will of the primal sea-mystery,
The drift of the cloud and the lift of the moon for a law?
Lost Is the tale of the gulfs you have crossed and the veils you have lifted;
In many a tongue have been wrung from you outcries of pain;
j Vou have leaped with the lightning from thunderheade, hurrlcano-rlfted,
And breathed in the whispering rain!
j Latent In juices the April sun looses from capture.
Have you not blown In the lily and grown in the weed?
| Burned with the flame of the vernal erotica 1 rapture.
And yearned with the passion for seed?
•
i Poured on the deeps from the steeps of the sky as a chalice.
Flung through 'the loom that is shutted by tempests at play.
Myriad the forms you have taken from hovel or palace— "
Broken and cast them away!
You who shall cling to a love that Is fearful and pities.
Titans of flame were your comrades to blight and consume!
Have you not roared over song-hallowed, sword-stricken cities,
And fled In the smoke of their doom? ^
For. ancient and new, you are flame, you are dust, you are spirit and dew,
Swirled into flesh, and the winds of the world are your breath!
The song of a thrush in the hush of the dawn is not younger than you—
And yet you are older than death.
The •Hymn Before Birth" was written in a metre that came to Nel
hardt in his sleep. One morning about daylight, he awoke remarking to
hie wife, "A fallow was Just now reading me a perfectly ripping thing.” He
came out of sleep with a sense of the dynamic scheme of the entire poem.
There was nn echoing of sounds within the lines, all sounds coming Lack
until they merged Into the original sounds. Though he had a feeling of
having heard four stanzas, he was able to recall on!? this one, which came
clear certain In his sleep:
Swirled with the dust In the wake of a world that Is strange,
The croon of the rain has the pain of an old tune for me;
And thunderful murmurs foretell rne the wonderful change.
When I shall be lost In the tempest and tossed In the heave of the sea.
The "Hymn Before Birth" Is one of the 11 lyrics by which the poet
celebrated the coming of his first child, Knld. Later, in the epics we shall
hear of Hlgurd, the son, and dramas are dedicated to Hilda, the third child.
