By this I do not mean egotism, but a belief in ../>..wnnU knnlrA/1 im Ktt q foifh i T1 yuurscii uttVRcu u.f wj ? God that all things are possible With this kind of confidence one cannot fail to win in whatever line his powers are directed. In no place could this advice be more timely given than in the business world. Every day corporations and superiors are looking for men big jobs. Each day men are called in to talk over things which will mean much to their future. He stammers; he trembles as if he were in the presence of a god instead of a man like himself. He shows no individuality. He thinks the way to ingratiate himself and make more secure his job, is tc agree with everything the boss says One notices how men cater to a boss. If he gives a word of praise to someone, they immediately agree eyebrows at the mention of such and such's name, reasons for dislike become apparent. A man who is swayed thus by the attitude of another will in all probability make a good henchman, but down deep in the heart of his superiors there will be a feeling oi but if instead, the boss raises his scorn for his subaltern's lack o] manhood. The world is looking for an op. portunity to say "Thou art the man." Only one has to do something worthwhile to win this mandate. Men who have done great, spectacular things in a moment, have usually had years and years of preparation to prepare them for this feat. For years he perhaps dreamed and worked, and planned, and when the big moment came, he was ready. However, not everyone aspires tc do the spectacular. Many prefer tc work in some little nook away froir the public. Well and good, but be. lLsve that in that little nook is the most important work in the world and if you will back up your beliel with constant training, it will become just as important as you thinl it is. Let each day and each bit o: work be more perfect because of th< experience you have had before When a hard job comes up, tackle it Don't fuss about it. Save youi energy for your job. It may be hard but believe you can do, and you wil be surprised at the easy solution. One of the saddest things in lif< is to see some man or woman nea: the sunset of life, sitting with fold ed hands, waiting for the end of i fnfcilo Hfo TT-iotr laarlv KhPflmo His. couraged. They tell you, "I neve: had a chance." It is a case of have no man to put me into thi pool, and while I am comini down, lo, another goeth in be fore me,' forgetting that eacl time they have said that thing, i has weakened their faith in them selves, and shamed God with whon all things are possible. The wages of life are just. Th Great Master never holds anythin; back. One draws his wages plus in terest. If one puts in good, th wages are good in proportion; arollna THI I WHY W (, l HI Why W? Are r ! By MEHRAN K. THOMSON, PI Hnman ? i . - iiimiimiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmtininiu r A few years ago I was at St. . John's college, Oxford, England. One of the students. I met there told me of a curious superstition. Pointing to a romantic lane across ; the beautiful lawn at the rear of I 1 the main building, he said, "No | student would think of walking through that lane on the night be. * fore an examination. If he does he is sure to be ploughed." By ; "ploughed" I took it he meant that! 1 the student would fall In the ex' amination. | Superstition is not dead. We are 5 inclined to think that belief in charms and magic and taboos is ! confined to savage and ignorant ! people. However, we are all more or : less superstitious. You laugh at ! others for carrying a rabbit's foot, ' or hanging a horse shoe over the door and yet there is some super stition over which you feel a little } "queer." Perhaps you dont mind j starting an important business on ' Friday or on the thirteenth of the month but how about knocking on wood before telling your neighbor that you have escaped the flu, or ' the tax collector? Just because two things happen at 1 one puts in bad, the debt -must be [ paid to the uttermost farthing. Is your life a success? You made it so. Is your life a failure? You - made it so. But whether it is good or bad just now, thank God that the future is yours, and it is up to you to make it a glorious success. ' To this end, and for this purpose was man created.

D., Author of "Tbe Spring of Aetloa." iiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiimmiBmmmms the same time or immediately following each other we assume that they are necessarily connected. It is easy to confuse temporal connection with casual connection. A superstition is a mistaken relationship. [For example, a black cat crosses youf path or you break a mirror and you have hard luck. This looks very much like cause and effect bennnsp wp toirp into accou.it only those cases where hard luck does follow and Ignore or forget the other cases in which nothing unusual happens. Another reason why we are superstitious is that we like to believe in luck and assume that we can influence it by some magic. Fear of the unknown overpowers us. And the curious part of all is that if you do believe in any of. these things you get encouragement in the thought that you have done your part and luck is on your side. This creates a wonderful morale so that you have greater confidence and actually succeed. Superstition is not as silly as it seems. It is a primitive way of combating the inferiority complex.
