NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
RANDOM THOUGHTS 
Continued from page 3 
but does a real scholar ever complete his 
education? Isaac Newton did not think 
that he had. Will a mind ever reach 
the limits of its powers or its growth, so 
long as it uses its opportunities? We 
trow not. When one speaks of com- 
pleting his education, we must think that 
he had very little education to complete. 
A man who will believe only what he 
understands must have a very short creed; 
the world in which we live is built on 
mysteries, is pillared and domed with 
mysteries; ““the flower in the crann‘ed 
wall,’’ the smallest blade of grass, the 
moat that glistens in the sunbeam, con- 
tain wonders that no scientist can solve. 
When our words only stir up strife 
and increase bitterness, it may be better 
to refrain our lips and show that “‘ silence 
is golden.’’ 
By the way, is it not a little singular 
that the father—or was he the stepfather 
of the famous saying above quoted, 
was always talking, and not always in the 
most amiable fashion either? Carlyle 
and silence in conjunction are hardly 
thinkable. 
Office is not for pride, or power, or 
emolument; but for service. For the 
time, it was a high encomium that was 
paid by an old chronicler to one of the 
Normans: ‘‘Good man he was, and 
muckle awe was of him; durst no man 
misdoe with other in his time; great 
peace he made for man and deere.’’ 
But such praise ought not to be excessive 
or out of place if applied to public 
officials of any age or any nation. 
There has been too much ridicule of the 
‘* big stick.’’ 
Good opinion of the law does not as 
a rule characterize evil-doers, whether of 
high or low degree, whether magnates 
in the stock market or house-breakers. 
The inconsistencies and hypocrisies of 
church-members, which are so. often 
dinned into our ears and exploited in the 
sensational press, no more disprove 
Christianity as many seem to think, than 
counterfeits disprove the existence of 
genuine currency; rather, we may say, 
there could be no hypocrites were there 
no such thing as true piety, as there 
could be no counterfeits were there no 
true currency; the false proves the exist- 
ence of the true. 
If you have a cottage to rent, or rooms, 
or want boarders, advertise the fact in 
the Breeze. It costs but 15 cents a 
week after the first week, which costs 
25 cents. “The paper reaches many of 
the very people you are trying to 
reach. *
