SUMMER BREVITIES 
By D. F. Lamson. 
{In the article with the above caption, two 
weeks ago, the omission of a little negative 
in the last paragraph entirely destroyed the 
sense. Of course, the sentence should have 
read, ‘““‘We must remember that what is 
above reason is not of necessity against rea- 
son.”’ | 
To walk a tight rope is considered 
a remarkable feat, but to walk the 
ways of righteousness perpendicu- 
lar is a more remarkable one. 
Bitter medicines are not pleasant 
to the taste, but they are sometimes 
more beneficial than soothing syr- 
ups. 
“Truth crushed to earth will rise 
again”; but that is no reason why 
truth should be trodden under foot 
in hope of a rejuvenation. 
Great crises sometimes reveal 
character, and sometimes they re- 
veal the lack of it. 
Riches profit not, unless one is 
well ballasted with saving common 
sense. 
To learn to distinguish between 
things that differ, seems often more 
difficult than to learn the parallax 
or the Hebrew vowel points. 
To speak the truth is often easy, 
and to speak in love is often easy; 
but to “speak the truth in love” is 
often far from easy.

There is a via media, a middle 
way, which is often difficult to find; 
it is where true conservatism and 
true radicalism meet; but one Saul 
of Tarsus who is also called Paul 
found *\itlong .age2,,. Provecsail 
things, hold fast that which is 
good.” 
Crowds at a ball game on a hot 
July afternoon suggest that people 
will go where they want to go, will 
pay for what they want to see, and 
endure any amount of discomfort 
if it only goes by the name of pleas- 
ure. 
People generally seek, not for 
what. they need, but for 
what they like; those who can meet 
the popular demand and satisfy the 
popular taste will be popular. 
Great men are not always wise, 
and wise men are not always great 
in the world’s estimation; there was 
a poor wise man who once saved a 
city, but no one remembered the 
same poor wise man. 
The work of preaching the gos- 
pel and promoting the reign of 
righteousness on earth is carried 
on with a great deal of seeming 
waste; but no one complains when 
two lighthouses are built side by 
side for the purpose of distinguish- 
ing the light from: others, though 
this seems to be a needlessly ex- 
pensive arrangement. 
“The magicians did so with their 
enchantments.”’ Every good thing 
has its counterfeits. Counterfeits 
prove the existence of the genuine. 
A counterfeit is witness to the 
worth of the original; men do not 
counterfeit that which is of little 
value; counterfeit faiths prove the 
worth of Christianity. 
Nature spreads before us an open 
book, but only the nature lover can 
read it, and only a trained eye and 
mind like those of a Thoreau and 
a Burroughs can discover and inter- 
pret its deeper truths. But this 
does not hinder the least intelligent 
and least scientific from enjoying 
the beauty of flowers, the moun- 
tain’s grandeur, the glow of sunset, 
the many-twinkling smile of ocean. -
