NOTES.
"A pocket full of sunshine is better far than gold."
"Commune with nature whenever and wherever she speaks or sings or paints
for you, and your divine being, thrilled into intoxication, will mould the physical
into sweeter graces." — H. L. Pinae.
"Nobody has a right to find life uninteresting or unrewarding who sees within
the sphere of his own activity a wrong he can help to remedy or within himself an
evil he can hope to overcome." The Happy Life, Charles William Eliot,
Harvard.

'Todayyour day and mine, the only day we have, the day in which we
is
play our part. What our part may signify in the great whole we may not under-
stand, but we are here to piay it, and now is the time. This we know, it is a
part of action, not of whining. —David Starr Jordan, Leland Stanford Uni-
versity.
Esperanto, the new composite language, the inventors of which hope to make
it the tongue of international intercourse, is creating more of a stir among stu-
dents than was produced by Volapuk, its predecessor. After the recent congress
of its friends in Cambridge, England, many of the delegates went to London and
attended a service at St. Clement Danes Church, in the Strand, conducted entirely
in Esperanto. This is interesting, not only as showing the extent to which the
language is being used, but also to the fact that it adds to the number of
"nations, and kindreds and people and tongues" by which God is worshiped.
