f THE PRAYER CORNER li M HUMANITY I have been reading Dr. Crane's Essays for some time and on the 4th, our Independence Day, I read his Essay on Humanity, and enjoyed it greatly. May I share that enjoyment with you, my readers: ""What is my boasted Independ ence? I am dependant upon every body and everything. I go with the crowd. I am caught with the press of men, I must move with them. V-"AU my ancestors have left me ?lething, not money or goods, but deeper potencies. What I call my character or nature is made up of in finite particles of inherited tenden cies from those whose blood runs in my veins. A little seed of laziness from this grandfather, and of prodi gality from that. Some remote grand mother, perhaps, has stamped me , with a fear of horses or a love of Kdogs. There may be in me a bit of outlawry from some forefather who was a pirate, and a dash of pity from one who was a saint. "So everything in me passes on through my children, and flecks my children's children with a spot of strength or weakness. I am sewn in between ancestry and posterity. I am a drop of water in a flowing river. I an: a molecule in a mountain. I am a cell in a great tree. The words I think in are not mine. They are Humanity's. Millions made them as a coral reef into which my thoughts creep." "My gestures, ways, mannerisms, socalled peculiarities, I borrowed them all., "Religion is not a personal affair, so much as it is a command. You are a Jew, because you were born a Jew; for the same reason you are a Cath olic, you are a Presbvterian, you are a Mahometan, you a Buddhist, you a Mormon. As we enter life we find these calls already made in the hu man bee-hive and crawl into them. "Tlie young lover imagines no one else ever felt his pangs and ectasies, yet nature is but repeating in him the emotions she has made in myriad others. "Nothing Human is alien to me," said , the philosopher Terrence. Said Burke, "Society is a partner ship, not only between those who are living, but between those who are living and those who are dead ? and and those who are to be born." "What I call my opinion ? how much of it is but an echo? Opinions are catching, like measles or small pox. Our notions of art, letters, politics, morals, we have but secret ed them from the mass. "Original ideas? Where will you find them? All the ideas there are ex ist now, floating in the human sea. I, an oyster, absorb a few, and call them mine. Even the phrases of The Lords Prayer have been traced to Talmudic sources. "The dewdrop slips into the shining sea. The river of humanity emerges from the infinite and pours into the infinite again. i "Iu passing, how we perk ourselves up into strange egotisms! We strut, gesticulate, contend, and talk of me and mine, only to go down at last in the cataract that, unceasing as Niagara, empties into the unknown. "Let us, therefore, put away the coarse egotisms, and the partisan passions that infest us. and learn to love humanity, to think and feel in . terms of humanity."

We re member with love the nurture she gave to our spiritual life in its in fancy, the tasks she set for our growing strength, the influence of the devoted hearts she gathers, the stead fast power for good she has exerted. When we compare her with all other human institutions, we rejoice, for there is none like her. But when we judge her by the mind of her master, we bow in pity and contri tion. Oh baptize her afresh in the life giving spirit of Jesus! Grant her a new birth, though it be with the , Travail of Repentence and Humili- ! ation. Bestow upon her a more im perious responsiveness to duty, a ! swifter compassion with steering, j and ail utter loyalty to the will of i God. i Put upon her lips the Ancient Gos- ; pel of her Lord. Help her to pro- , claim boldly the Coming of the King- i dom of God and the doom of all that ! resist it. Fill her with the proph et's scorn of tyranny, and with a Christlike tenderness for the heavy laden and down trodden. Give her faith to espouse the cause of the peo ple and in their hands grope after freedom and light to recognize the | bleeding hands of the Christ. Bid her cease from seeking her own life, lest j she lose it. Make her valiant to give up her life to humanity, that like her 1 crucified Lord, she may mount by the j path of the cross to a higher glory. ; Amen. ? C. D. C. I Oakland News Items | h i (i A. E.
