HABIT OF THOUGHT
Man’s Will Controls, For Good or
Evil, the Direction of
His Mind.
I suppose there are few prerogatives
which men would be less inclined to
part with than the absolute secrecy
and independence of their thoughts.
The tyrant may fetter my limbs and
seal my lips; but there is one thing
which he cannot do by the utmost
stretch of his power. He cannot hin
der me from thinking as I please;
neither can he know what I think, un
less I please to tell him.
But this very fact, as it shows that
neither the law nor public opinion can
take cognizance of our thoughts, only
make it the more indispensable that
we should take the proper regulation
and government of them into our own
hands. What others cannot do for us,
or even help us to do, each one should
feel the more bound to do for himself
—taking care to keep himself inwardly
as well as outwardly pure, ••bringing
into captivity every thought to the
obedience of Christ.”
Here, however, au objection is some
times raised, which, if allowed to
Btand, must make the Inculcation in
the text of no effect. Our thoughts, it
is said, succeed each other according
to fixed and unalterable laws, one
thought bringing up another in a con
stant train or current, over which the
will has no more power than over the
current of blood in our veins.
Freedom of Thought.
All thoso who concede anything to
human freedom must allow that wo
are free to make any particular
thought which cornea up In one of these
trains an object of special attention.
We can arrest it and hold it before the
mind for this purpose, which will have
the effect not, indeed, to stop our
thinking, but to give u new direction to
our thoughts.
Obviously, therefore, the turn which
our thinking takes depends, for the
most part, ou ourselves. Suppose, for
example, that I am thinking of a sinful
indulgence. I am free to think of that
side of it which invites or of that side
of it which repels. I can think of
it as an indulgence merely, or as a sin
ful indulgence; and the train of
thought to which the whole will give
rise will vary accordingly.
When 1 say I can do either one or
the other, as 1 choose, it is no objec
tion to reply that I cannot do it with
out some reason or motive. Certaiu
ly not. But the question is whether,
having a reason or motlv^ to give my
thoughts a particular direction—that
is to say, believing it to be expedient
and right—it is not within my power
to do so.
Controlled by the Will.
There is also another way’ in which
a man's will exerts an indirect but yet
an important and decisive control over
the tenor of his thoughts. As has
been said, we are competent at any
moment freely and deliberately to se
lect out of a train of thoughts that
one to which we will attend. But we
will supiKise this selection made, not
freely and deliberately, but spontane
ously, or from the impulse of the mo
ment. as is probably the fact in most
cases.
Still, what we do spontaneously, or
from the impulse of the moment, de
pends on the state of our minds; and
this, again, depends, for the most part,
on what we have chosen to make it or
allow it to become. What we call act
ing impulsively or spontaneously origi
nates, in nine cases out of ten, not in
our nature properly so called, but in
some habit which has been superin
duced, not In our nature as it came
from the hand of Ood. but as it has
been developed and shaped by a long
series of our own voluntary acts.
Hence it is, for the most part, that
different persons are affected so very
differently by the same objects; what
will suggest vicious and impure
thoughts to one, having no such ef
fect, perhaps the opposite effect, on
another. The same book, for example,
which will do incalculable injury to n
man of bad principles, or of no prin
ciples, may be" read with much less
danger, perhaps with perfect safety, by
one whose Innocence is guarded at
every point by discretion, a pure taste
and the fear of Ood.—Hev. James
Walker, D, I>.
A Prayer.
O Lord, let thy grace be upon all
Christian people, upon all that are try
in* to help their fellows, upon all
teachers and instructors of men wheth
er old or young. May thy loving kind
ness and tender grace be upon ua. up
on all -whom we love, and upon all to
whom our secret thoughts may be
turned- in this act of Intercession
Draw near to those who may he ap
proaching the gates of death, and may
there b« light beyond in the deepest
darkness and the pressure of a loving
hand which can never leave them
when the grasp of all other hands is
being loose ned. Forgive our sins and
answer our prayers. For our savior
Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.
Life.
Mve your life while you have It.
Life is a splendid gift. There is noth
ing small in it. For the greatest things
grow by God's law out of the small
est Hut to live your life you must
discipline it. You must not fritter
It away in "fair purpose, erring act,
in constant will," but must make your
thoughts, your words, your acts all
work to the same end. and that end
not self but God. This is what w*
rail character.—Florence Nightingale
HAMMOND FOUND A WAY
John Hays Hammond is not only
one of the foremost mining engineers
in the world. He la also a “good
sport.’ as is illustrated by this little
story: Some years ago Mr. Hammond
took charge of the Colorado mines of
an English syndicate, and found on
the books a claim of a Colorado
Springs promoter for $3r>.000.
Hammond got hold of the claim*
ant and talked with him about it over
the phono. Tho latter said that he
could do nothing about It and that
any proposition must go through his
lawyer. He agreed to meet Ham
mond In Colorado Springs and talk
to him further about the case.
Hammond came down from tho
mines, armed with a blank check,
determined to wipe the claim off the
coni|iany s books, even If he had to
pay the claim, as business was good.
Most promoters and miners, he rea
soned. have the gambling instinct,
and he decided to resort to n canm of
chunee if he failed to reach an agreement with the claimant in any other
He found the man immovable on the proposition to apllt the difference
and settle the case Finally he said to his man: "Uwk here, you an.l I are
business men If we let the lawyers fight this matter out what will you get*
Practically nothing Tell you what I II do. Let's toss a coin It s $36,000 or
nothing.
It was agreed to and the claimant tossed the coin. ‘ Head.- called Ham
mond. and heads it was. And the caHe was settled then and- theref the losor
signing a release of nil claims on Hammond's company.
BUSY CHAIRMAN M’COMBS
William F. McCombs, chairman
of the Democratic national commit
tee. practices law in New York be
tween campaigns, but he does not
neglect the impo'tnnt task intrusted
to him by the leaders of his party.
He keeps in cloee touch with tho
sentiment of the country, and Presi
dent Wilson considers him one of his
most valuable advisers concerning
proposed national legislation. Occa
sionally Mr. McCombs runs down to
\N ashlngton and confers with the
president, and recently after one of
these trips he suid he was planning
to call a meeting of the national com
mittee this spring and that its mem
bers and others probably would have
a big dinner to celebrate two years of
Democratic national rule.
Already Chairman McCombs and
his associates are laying their plans
for the campaign of 19lfi. and they
predict a sweeping Democratic vic
tory. This forecast they base largely
JgJ f*• "V "1
on tne personal record of the president, and during thp campaign especial
stress will be laid on that record, whether or not Mr. Wilson is a candidate
for re-election.
President Wilson’s friendship for and confidence in Mr. McCombs are
based on long acquaintance, going back to the time when the latter was a
Princeton student of the class of 1898. After his graduation he went to tho
Harvard law school. Receiving his degree of IAj. B. In 1901. he at once began
practice in New York city. Twelve years later he married Miss Dorothy
Williams of Washington.
