As an iMustraâ€" ~1|tion of this point I take you to that im part of every man‘s stock in trade. ; They set forth his viewpoint, and that expression which I frankly admit I | do not care much about and yet which | I use at this minuteâ€""He sold me his [ idea"â€"is an illustration of the very thing we are looking at at the moâ€" ment. The idea being that a man toâ€" | day ought to understand that he has to sell, or if you prefer, and I think I do, give to others his own philosoâ€" | phy of life. Therefore, whether his | business be the insurance of property ; or life or the safeâ€"guarding of teeth [ or the decorating of houses, it does | not matter for he has an outlook and | his" suecess depends upon his ability | to make people see the soundness of his position, or the beauty of Jhis | viewpoint; and as the world grows closer together this is going to be | more and more realized and properly‘ . appreciated. _ ‘ | to the use we make of words. I sup: | pose that there is not a person who {has not at sometime had an uncomâ€" | fortable sensation because some of his words reached ears for which they ‘}verenotw You can go back, | every ome of you, I venture to guess, to a very bad few moments because }mv‘n,hfil that someone had overhcard wou taiking about him. cause you didn‘t care for the person, but rather because you did. The very fact that you are disturbed about it is a cleat endugh indication that you | do have m concern for the person in question. 1 adimit that there are other clements in the case, but let us deal | as directly as possible with this one jm~m all of them. The reason, then, why you are alarmâ€" | ed Mest the other person has heard ‘;’y-khn-m used the words in a certain manner. You could conâ€" | cervabile use the same words to him ud Smss 0 Coneinie y t | topic that is just as vital for every }." whether he be in insurance, medicineâ€"in any of its branches, a ;hm. a photographer, a salesman, 'h the plumbing supply business, or thought. We may seem alike but that is because we use the same words and very frequently we find them very poor things indeed. The phrase of.the schoolâ€"boy "I know but I can‘t say it" has caused much laughter but there is a very gepuine truth here set forth. A truth that the schoolâ€"boy grown older, and now a man of affairs usually senses. There is always, I think, a gap between what we think and what we say. Yo know how it is, and whenever you stop to consider the matter you realize it more clearly than before. Sometimes we say les than we think, but usualâ€" ly more! A person does notâ€"like to. be thought inarticulate, and we rather crav®"the doubtful distinetion of being able to talk, but I have no hesitation in sayingâ€"that it is inâ€" finitely better to say less than more, for the who says more is very apt to fi-:ln"lnnlf out beyond the safety ropes of genuine ideas. I find no difficulty in believing the very familiar story of the man who went up to another whom he had heard making an effective talk and said: "What you are shouts so loud I could not hear anything you said." This story illustrates an important fact, namely that words have to somehow be expressive of true individuality, or they amount to less than nothing. Words are interesting things, but they are more than that, they are our only tools at times.: We are all different, the one from the other, and our distinctiveness is in the realm of BUSINESS MEN HEAR. | | *ADDRESS BY RECTOR might sometimes fall into the misâ€" take of thinking that words are more distinctly a part of the equipment of the attorney or the salesman or the clergyman; but more clearly, I think, is it understood today that words are ment and analyze it a bit further You were uncontfortableâ€" not because you were afraid of the other person, that sort of fear does not enter into Now let me proceed for a minute or two to justify some of the things that I have just said about the uniâ€" versality of the topic before us. You phasis. : Or if you had a chance, you would be able to interpret the same ie Sod . ons COoReteee, "OP any other of the manifold divisions of human activity. Therefore, as I do not wish to'fiv around with this subject, for it belongs to you, and beâ€" cause it does not need any holding back to become important, I turn it mtoyou,orbeturatill.lhyit here on the table and we will all take a look at it, and while I turn it over and taik about it you can give it as careful an examination as possible from your own position. My subject then is "Words." This brings us, logically enough, {Continued from page 1) nterpret the same(of which is "Bumping off." Then ,_As an Mustr®â€") there is the expression "The great lhhmh"&ltim' which is interesting. rdfln'*%_‘tnm.'&h'd’fi same name when! which has a very beautiful sound to It might be safer to keep. this talk away from definite illustrations beâ€" cause when any one word is used we focus on that, and our individuality comes out of the background and difâ€" ferences in taste are made apparent; but nevertheless, I purpose to risk it, because this is a fre country, andâ€"I will try to use the words in such a manner that my illustrations are pointed by them, and that you may feel that I am not setting up my individual ideas in contrast to any conceptions‘ which you may possess. Let us take the word "God." It is used, I suppose, in three ways. One is that use, which is really a misuse because it does not mean a thing, it is just thrown in because of the sound and the person has no good reason for its use. Then there is the use when it sets forth all of a man‘s faith or conviction or hope. Thus it is used as an expression of things that he feels in the innermost chamber of his being. He has emotions and aspiraâ€" tions, and words are not eqtial to the task, save this one word which comes closest to giving expression to his feeling. . He thus gives to "God" the responsibility of setting forth those things which he believes. And then you have heard it uséd so that it stirt the roots of your hair because it sets forth a man‘s hopelessness. It is thus really a cry of anguish and stirs you as such. I know that you can break up these three classifications that I have made into innumerable others, ‘but I desire you to think of the genâ€" eral uses to which we put this one wordâ€"which is in a sense is the most important one in the world‘s vocabuâ€" Jary: ; llp.lk.l‘ toward you. Does this mean that there is no harm in talking about other people? Not at all, for the crime of it is that people do harm through the careless use of words, which is tragic because it is so needâ€" less. There is a difference in motives and origins, I will admit, as for inâ€" stance, if a man goes home and finds that someone who thought ill of him had blown up his house during his absence, that is the beginning of cerâ€" tain trains of thought. On the other band, if a man goes home and finds his house in ashes and discovers that a maid has been careless in the use of gasoline in cleaning dresses, this catastrophe may produce a very difâ€" ferent line of thought, but I leave it to you to decide whether it is more helpful to contemplate disaster that has been caused by carelessness rather than that produced by sheer enmity. It is a serious thing to beâ€" hold ruins either of houses or friendâ€" ships, which are caused simply and solely because someone was careless with gasoline or words. We use words‘ so much that we forget that they are high explosives! May I suggest' that it is well to smile when we say anything. By this 1 mean take out the harshness of sound for it is the sound that counts. All of which leads to this conclusion which is true and inevitâ€" able, I believe, that we are supposed to be masters of the tools that we use. We are bigger than our words and, therefore, we should exercise. conâ€" trol in their use. This is why a cerâ€" tain teacher of men, my own conâ€" viction being that He was the greatâ€" est, said: "Let your yea be yea and your nay, nay," which surely means be in control of your tools and use them skillfully. If you are using a hammer, hit the nail that is of steel. If you can‘t hit that~pot down the hammer before you hit your own nails or those of someone else. You can do a good deal with the word "Hell." You can makeâ€"y®r own classifications if you will, and you can put a world of meaning into it‘ and that is because it is capable of carrying a load of hate, despair, inâ€" difference or fear. 1 remember as a young boy being very much impressâ€" ed by reading somewhere that a man said that he didn‘t believe in Hell but he had a fear of getting mixed up in Then there is another very interâ€" esting. word, which has been in part replaced by substitutes, none of which hold has it on our minds. I refer to the word "Death." This has a fasciâ€" nation for users of words. There is a finality and stillness about it that takes the hearer directly to a picture, and I know of few words that are more able to carry an idea from the speaker to the hearer.. You know the substitutes that we have and are tryâ€" ing. "Passing" is one, a cruder form it. An illogical truth, if I may be allowed such an expression. | the car." ! simply a careless use of words. You could and probably would be hurt by some of the things that are said about yourself, and that is simply beâ€" cause they were not meant for your particular ears. If you could go to the bottom of the matter, which you that, smile." It was not the words, it was their use that threatened the my.dn!ovd&nmh the saloon.

And now in conclusion we go back to our premise, which is that our life consists of our thoughts and feelings consists of our thoughts and feelings, and we use words that we may take others into the central place where we live, our real life. I don‘t mean by this your study or your office with the doors shut, I mean that as you handle the days as they pass, you construct your philosophy of life and set it forth in the hearing of those with whom you come in contact, with words. This is your life. We are also sufficiently interested in life to wish to be articulate, to express our ideas and thoughts. Therefore, the thing to remember always is that we are mastersâ€"or should be mas~ tersâ€"of our words. At best there is a gap between our central life and the words which we use to convey our philosophy, but there is also a joy in doing the best we can in setting forth before others our pictures of life. And so in your interesting and various oecupations I wish you good luck!
