"WHAT 'LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME"
MR. J. RAMSAY MACDONALD'S EXPERIENCES.
THE VERY GREAT PLEASURE IN HARD WORK.
A Home paper is publishing a series of articles entitled "What Life Has Taught Me." In the rat of this series the Right Hon. J. Ramsay MacDonald, first Labour Prime Minister of Great Britain and the present Leader of the Opposition, tells of his experiences and disillusions. "Good predominates in Lite," he concludes, even when it re- quires some seeking before it is found."
He would be a strange man, writes Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, "who would say that life had taught him nothing, and ho would certainly not be a wise one. Whatever other qualities we may possess or lack, we shall arrive nowhere without capacity to learn from experience. think it will be the general admission of those who try to estimate the result of their life experiences in terms of acquir. ed wisdom that the results do not look sensational-they may even appear to Lo platitudinous. One of my experiences in lifs, is that the sensational is the shoddy. I have, seer. sensational men and stunts rise and fuss-and splutter out.
3 LIKES AND DISLIKES.
WHY PEOPLE APPEAL OR REPEL
[BY JOHN BLUNT.)

feeble excuse for such drastic behaviour, This, undoubtedly, was a grossly but I confess that I rather like his frank- ness in giving so inadequate-and there- fore, probably, so truthful-a reason for
his act.
Most of us try to clothe our likes or dislikes for people in elaborate explana tions, but I suspect that, as often as not, we really like or dislike them, according to the manner in which their personali
ties react on us.
It was, of course, very illogical in that Chinese to dislike the whole race of
Arabs, but that sort of illogicality,ap plied to different races, is one of the commonest things. How often does one hear people say that they heartily dislike all the members of some particular race. Fortunately for society such dislike usually ends in words; otherwise, that Chinese would hardly be in the minority.
A Common, Ohord.
And as regards individuals, too, liking or disliking is often exceedingly ill- gical. We simply like people who appeal to us for some quality that strikes a common chord. We say we like them be cause they are kind or amusing or sym- pathetic, but "the" truth is that other! people, who may be all these things at once, are quite liable only to irritate
I anticipate some such criticism when say that the chief thing that life has taught me is the very great pleasure of hard work. When I Erst came to London, I was fortunate enough to fall into the hands of, a very hard task. master, who made lile pretty miserable | us. for some time, but I have never ceased to be grateful to him for the discipline he gave me and for the habit which I acquired under him of sticking hard at whatever I had to do
Another lesson not unconnected with this is that you never can do good work unless your heart is in it. I once had a very Sne illustration of this in the case of a miner whom I met in the East Up to a short time before I met him he had been a very unruly person, and I asked him why he had turned over a new leaf. He told me he had been just working as a machine until something. happened which made him understand that, as a result of his work, fires were kept blazing in other people's kitchens From that time he worked with his heart as well as with his muscle. This is one of the most beneicent rules that one can adopt in life: if your heart is not in your work you will not do it well.

Sufficient Unto the Day-
Personality is unanalysable, and if wo get down" to bedrock, almost everything depends on the way in which another personality affects us. We may, respect A man without feeling friendship for him; equally we may feel friendship for a man for whom we have a good deal of contempt..
But man has an inherent desire to ex- plain to himself to logicalise, so to speak-his own thoughts and actions, and few of us are honest enough to admit that our friendships or aversions are founded largely on instinct.

I have often heard people declare that they could not understand why Sound-so should like No-and-so. The answer is, of course, that mutual attraction is a mysterious thing and that what you see in another person I may not see in the slightest. A may seem a plain, dull girl to B; whereas to C she may suggest the music of the spheres-Daily Muil,

In these days of universal discontent unsettlement, we should all be better for remembering that suficient anto the day is the good thercof. Life has certainly aught me that, in spite of many apparent prolonged exceptions. Lest this little bit of philosophy should be misunderstood by some sharp critic who would say:Then why work for more I reply that experience of life shows us that the amount of good which can fructify in character and in happi-

Life is not a thing of limitations, it is a thing of expansion. I say sufficient unto the day is the good there of I do not say that it will be sufficient unto to-morrow. If pessimism and bitterness paralyse effort we must not allow our optimism to degeaerate into complacency. Between these two ex- tremes oscillate the ineffective figures of the world, and the wise and useful man is he who avoids them both.
Nothing for Nothing.
There is another thing which life has taught me which I doubt people sufficiently appreciate, and that is that everything you have has to be paid for. That is true of the shilling in your pocket and the reputation you have in the world: The more success you attain the greater become your burdens. You never get through with life, you only get into it, and the further into it you get the more you love it; not because your leisure and your quiet and your sell. complacency increase, but because, though your difficulties grow, they be- come more interesting to beat. Perhaps I should put it in this way that your burdens get heavier, but they become nobler
Life teaches us another very curious thing. Whatever your income is you can always spend it and you feel inade- quate. I have lived like a fighting-cock und saved money on 12s. 6d. a week in London. I have also, at odd times, had as much as 128. Od, an hour. The days cannot be compared, but they both had peculiar_happiness and peculiar draw backs. Human personality is an extra ordinarily expansive thing, and at the same time a most extraordinary accom- modating thing. So far as my personal likes and dislikes go, I think I should be perfectly happy to go back to the 124. 6d per week, but then, of course, the rut of life would be much narrower and its walls much higher.
Some shattered, Illusions.
If life has taught me these things, has it untaught me nothing, shattered no illusions, corrected 00 preconceived notions? That is not a "clain I should be very satisfied to make, for it is no compliment to be told that we have

can only be reached by further experi menting in ideas:
The large conceptions of life never change, such as the conception of ser- vice, of co-operative work, of the lifting up of masses. I have often been dis- appointed with both work and people, but not disappointed in the sense that one gets either cynical 'or faithless.. At the end of the day one can survey many paths that have had to be retrodden be- cause they did not lead to the desired object, but, nevertheless, they had to be plored before they wero rejected. These explorations are neither lost time nor mistakes in the use of opportunities, They all belong to the plan. They mean that the person with ideas and ideals na to live in a world that is largely un- known and can yield up its truth only by experiment.
