Psalias and Sonuets 
By Juseph A. Carrey 
CXXVI 
When God, the Lord, turned our captivity, 
Then we in Zion were like those that dream. 
Our mouths were filed with laughter and with glee, 
We sang again by Babel’s mournful stream, 
Then did the heathen magnify the Lord: 
“Jehovah hath done wondrous works for them!” 
He hath done wonders by His mighty word; 
Our souls rejoice in the Jerusalem. 
Turn our captivity and quell our fears, 
Turn us as streams that wander in the South. 
Make us to reap in joy who sowed in tears, 
Let gladness fill our eyes and songs our mouth. 
Who goes forth bearing precious seed yet grieves, 
Shall doubtless come rejoicing with his sheaves.

EDITORIAL COMMENT 
Purpose is the surest and sanest expression of intel- 
ligence. It is purpose that marks the difference between 
man and the world of life below him. ‘The lower world 
fulfils the destiny instinct places in it by heredity, but 
man after fulfiling the designs of heredity still has a lat- 
ent power higher than the best he has attained, namely, 
the ability to shape and to execute a destiny higher than 
the satisfaction given by the loaf, the roof, and clothing. 
Man cannot live by bread alone for he has a destiny to 
work out and purpose is the great guide that leads the 
way out and up. A man may mar, make or misuse his 
gift of progress and creative purpose, but it is his one 
priceless possession. Success attends the man who dis- 
covers the powers and limitations of space and time and 
has intelligence enough to serve faithfully and patiently 
the queen of virtues, purpose. There are more bankrupt 
personalities because of the lack of this one asset than 
for any other cause in the catalogue of vices, failures and 
crimes. Purpose is the mother of industry, progress, hap- 
piness and success Its absence means desultory labor, 
retrogression, unhappiness and eventual failure. 
The great failure of the average American parent 
is to underestimate the value of the industrial pursuits and 
to overestimate the advaniages of the so-called clerical 
and professional callings. It is one of the signs of ad- 
vancement that the modern educational world is more and 
more giving its attention to this side of education. If 
more of the lads and lassies who graduate from school 
and college could have the saving grace of common sense 
to take off their best clothes the day after “graduation” 
and brush into the real labor of the world they will in 
the years that are before them see that progress has been 
made thereby. The world is full of half instructed in- 
efficient clerical help. There is a dearth of men and wo- 
men in the trained industries. There is more happiness 
and contentment buttoned up under the overalls of a 
skillful gardener or hushandman than can be found in the 
mind of the floor-walking failures of city stores. If the 
boys who graduate will keep their eyes off the city and look 
about them they will find opportunity where they little 
dreamed. 
Manchester is to have a new Town hall and the pro- 
gress which is being made is good. ‘The new enterprise 
presents a splendid opportunity to lay out Central square 
on beautiful lines for all time. Wisdom has been shown 
by the committee and with a good building placed in the 
square Manchester may in the near future be proud of 
its centre. When this matter comes before the town for 
definite and final action the citizens ought to approve the 
plan and go ahead and build a new structure. 
The open door policy to immigrants has been severely 
condemned by many, but such prejudice should not fail 
to take into account the “‘foreigners” who have succeeded. 
The recent gift of a large sum of money by a native of 
Turkey, now a respected citizen of America to endow the 
press of the Pilgrim Publishing Co., is a case in point. 
In counting the failures that have come into the country 
under our immigration system we must not forget the 
successes, 
The I. W. W. is making astonishing progress along 
its own lines. This p-ogress is always greatest among 
the aliens. Immigration laws may need remedying, but 
it is evident that those already here need educating,
