As the days passed, however, he
grow not more happy, but lees happy.
The people that he met wore different
from himself and different from the
people he had hear used to knowing.
Instead of liking them, he found him-
self troubled hy them, and disap-
pointed. At home, in the streets, he
had disliked meeting so many man

The man sat alone in his room. He

many years, he had lived and among
the people he had for so many years

“FATE IS CHAKACTEB’*
The old Greek dramatists liked to
use the idea of fate. They made it
meet powerful influence in their
tragedies. It was always operating,
inevitably and inexorably, It seemed
to come out of the sky, the foe of
mankind, particularly vindictive to
this character and that.
Naturally the idea made a deep ap-
peal, after the manner of aU fear. By
spreading the belief in fate, It did a
vast amount of mischief.
Furthermore, it weakened resist-
ance. Once in possession of the con-
sciousness. it* could easily keep Its
mattery.
* * e
The Greek dramatists were great
artists. They watched the unfolding
of life and they sought to give It im-
pressive reproduction. They knew
that compared with life Itself, there
was no other theme of importance.
Through their interest they reached
d«m to' tftb springs of action, to
character. Then they saw causes at
tfltapHM work. Where they blundered was in
§rf Within confusing those esuses with the forces
that came from their mythology.
What they called fate was what
they saw controlling humanity. It
came not, as they believed, from with-
out, but from within.
It took the world many generations
to recognise and to accept the simple
truth that fate and character were
the same. Even now, though it is ad-
vocated virtually by all creeds and by
all persons who think about the mat-
ter, it is rather an idealistic theory
than a practical reality. To take it
into the mind and the heart, to care
for it sufficiently to put it in control
of the feelings, to give it, in
words, loving recognition, is to turn
from wayward and contradictory tbeo-
rie« md to make a right start in liv-
*“*•„
How many or us ever made such
a Start? Vary few.
Each day we deny that fate is
character end we insist on having our
way, even when our way carries with
it a warning unmistakable. For the
:e of indulging our solve* we turn
aside. This time we can get hy, we
can show that there are no expec
tiona to the adage.
It is the momentary indulgence that
ndMU in most of our errors. Our
problems are mere trifles. They seem
Mg only because we let them accum-
ulate around us.
The mountains of woe that we have
to climb are built of mole hills. Bit
by bit we put them together.
And yet there are those who arc j himself off as a victor, s*1*! the spirit
indignant when they are told that that him a failure at home
they are the makers of their own des- Lade him a failure abroad. He closed

Once in the Street he had f; pur-

The discovery caused him so much
surprise that it woke him up. He re
solved to get at the meaning of this,
mystery, fox a long time he made
careful study of himself. Could the
trouble that he believe^ to lie opt
ride really Up within? At last
other I st.’od up, drawing, after his habit, one
of those sighs- But this tiige it was
a sigh, not of discontent and pain, but
of relief. He had found opt He had
been a fool and a coward and a fail

tried to rednc? tt his own limitations,
The weaknesses common to humanity
at large he had exaggerated and added
to his own special weaknesses. The
tests that might have brought him vic-
tories he had turned Into defeats.

The man looked at himself in the
mirror. In his face be traced the
lines of resentment and suffering. So
for years he had been steadily devei
oping the face of a weakling, of one
that didn’t know bow t<> live. He
had been advertising himself as the
failure that he was and be bad taken

A minister in a country town once
instituted a series of reform measures
ipinq th« local organisation analo-
gous to Tammany. He began hls po-
litical campaign by sending to the
chief, boss of the district a card upon
which were written the number and
chapter of a verse in the Bible. When
the bos. snd his associates looked Up
the text they found it to be a fire-
breathing threat against evil-doers.
The minister had hoped to awe them
by the use of Scripture.
The worst resort in the town was
a so-called hotel known as "The
Firs." .(‘The Firs’’ was the head
quarters of the "gang," and the min
liter preached hotly against the place
for two month, preceding election,
looking up the text he was amazed to
read tbe following:
"Yea, the fir-trees rejoice at thee,
and the cedar, of Lebanon, saying,
since then art laid down, no feller i.
come up against us.”
The devil was quoting Scripture,
and the minltter was carious. Upon
making "The Fir." a household word
synonymous with evil. The evil-doers,
however, not only refused to tremble,
but they won the election. * Ajf
Sane months afterward When all
was going et a lively pace of old, the
minister received a postal card which
read thus:
