SUMMER BREVITIES 
By D. F. Lamson. 
We cannot turn back the wheels 
of progress. Perish the thought. 
But it is to be hoped that they will 
not run away with us, as an auto- 
mobile did the other day in Jersey, 
hurling its occupants over the wall; 
people say we must keep up with 
the times; not so, if the times are 
moving in the wrong direction. 
' Not how fast we can get through 
this world, at what tireak- neck 
speed and with what show and 
noise; but how well we can get 
through it, is the main point. 
In a rational state of society, bat- 
tleships will be at a discount, and 
plows at a premium. 
Some things are worse than war, 
but a just and honorable peace is 
THREE BITS OF NORTH SHORE SCENERY 
not one of them. 
A man’s 
business is spoken of as 
his “calling”; but often the only 
“call” in the matter is that of the 
love of money or position, of self- 
will or caprice. 
Some men will stoop to almost 
anything mean and dishonorable for 
the sake of money, if they do not 
literally rob dead men’s graves. 
Between love and righteousness, 
there is no necessary antagonism, 
but a weak sentimentality may de- 
feat the ends of justice. 
Impatience of authority seems to 
characterize the age, in the family, 
the school and the state; and it 
is not far different in the church. 
Certain amusements and sports 
distinctly tend to coarsen the fea- 
tures as well as the character; there 
is a closer connection between eth- 
ics and esthetics than many people 
imagine.
