The village smithy giands;
He's egent ler the Jinx meanie
' And several other -brands.
He hasn't shod a horse for yeats,
For fear he'd soil his eateds.
He wears 0 gola watch.on his wrist
A ,pearl pin 10 .
His 'nuke are made of amethYst,
The finest ,he could buy.
There's not a thing the' smithy wear
That doesn't pleaee tne eye,
Week iu, week out, from morn till
night,
He sees the autos come
With brakes that are not working
right -
And axles on thenum
With gas, repairs, and grease and ell,
lie .maltes a tidy sum,
Ile has a staff bf skillful men
That nember twenty-four,
Who toll from SIX aan, till tett
And sometimes even more:
The smithy never does a stroke -
He thinks that work's a bore.

is easy to answer. The finest repre-
zentativesof civilization are by no
means found an:Ong the ee-called culti-
vated and educated classes.. Civilize, -
tion depends Upon what .we call pro-
gress for less than many think.
Here's the heart of the niatter;
What is your attitude toward the vari-
ous _forme of life about you? IVien,. wo-
men, children, the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air, the four -footed in-
mates of the home ----these are the
things, if I May use tire nterd, your
treatmOnt of whieh will tell how
cliOl-
lccsl yeti are, -far mere than yoar rela-
tion it:: bonds or banks or books or es-
tates, or even that highly' exalted
thing men call "society." •
, The most perfeet example of the
moot perfect civilization Was 11 man.
who bad nevet been to college, who
was ostreeteed by nearly 011 the social
leaders of hie` day, ,who even:had no
place to lay his head. this man„ by
ihis splrht, IN dire of loVe, kindeese,
goodwill, justice; compassion, stands
to -day,. two thousand" years ,slnee he
eame among Us, hunianity's ideal Of
what is highest and finest in the onlY
civilization wholly worth the name.'
. How civilized um, 1? Nothing ans-
wers the question more accurately
than my treatment of my fellows, ray
sympathy or lack of IL .with 'all those
lowly forms of life about me with
their capacity for pleasure arid pain.
Just so 'far as I have, anhieved my ends;
at the cost of human kludness, in dis-
regard of the rights of other sentient
beings, by to much am I uncivilized
and back in those far-off ages when
might made right, and force, not love,
claimed empire over men. '
