Luck Modern science has taught us that nother hap pens by chance. Everything is the effect of soce cause 3ven though we may not be able to discover hat hat cause is. No a leaf falls to the ground not a wind blows not a flower opens without a reason. There is really then no such thing as chance. But we still use the word to describe happenings the reason of reason of which we do not know and when such apparently causeless happen 8ngs are favourable to our interests we say they are luchy when unfavorably we say they are unlucky All gambling games games are games of chance because they are decided not by skill or forethought but simply by 5he happening of something which we cannot control like the fall of a coun or 5he turning up of a certain card. No doubt there is a reason why we spin a coun is something heads and sometimes tails but if we play fairly we cannot discover that reason and so we cannot control the fall of the coin. So we say that it's turning up heads or tails is simply a matter of luck or chance.. 

Unthoughtful Almsgiving. Almsgiving is enjoined as a duty by the great religions, all of which exalt charity as one of the chief virtues and apart from the idea of religious duty all naturally kind hearted people find true joy in helping those whose distress moves their pity. They learn the truth of the saying. It is more blessed to give than to receive. But alms given merely from a cold sense of duty without any real sympathy, alms given with the selfish object of gaining popularity or increasing one religion merit however welcome they may be to poor are worthless because their motive is wrong. And alms given thoughtlessly may do more harm than good. Indiscriminate charity encourages ifleness and hypocrisy and pauperizes the poor to give a few annas to a beggar may ease one conscious but it leaves the problem of poverty unsolved to do any real good to the poor we must know them and their circumstances and try to relieve them in such a way as really to help them without rendering their miserable state eorelse. But to find out the really deserving cases to decide whether money. Or food or work or medicine is the kind of help needed requires a lot of time toilet and patience and amount of trouble which we are realy prepared to take.

The World of a good character. Characterust not be confused with reputation. A man's reputation is what other people think about him what he appears to be to others. A man charater is his real moral condition what he really is we are not concerned here with reputation,but with character and when we ask what is the worth of a good character we are really asking what is the value of being a good man? To estimate the value of a thing we must compare it with other things. Regarding a good character as a valuable possession letter us complare it with other valuable things a man may possess such as health, wealth and happiness. Good health is a great blessing wealth and if we can have both good health and good character,we are happy indeed but suppose we must choose between them and have only one.  It it better to be a healthy villain, or a sick saint wealth is a great though a dangerous blessing and it is pleasant to be able to a both rich and good. But suppose bee cannot be both, which is better to be better to be rich and means cruel selfish and sensual or poor and large hearted kind and pure.

The Uses of Forests. Forests in fluence climate, and attract rain. They preserve the water, and prevent destructive floods. Provide timber and other valuable forest products. Provide fuel. Forests form an important part of the wealth of a country and in India, the preservation of the forests is so important that it has long been taken over by the government, and is in charge of the Government forests Department. Forests have a great influence upon climate for they attract rain and preserve moisture an important matter in dry country like inda, the leaves of a tree are always giving off moisture and this constant evaporation cools the surrounding atmosphere, in consequence, when moisture laden winds blow over a forest, the moistute they carry is condensed and forms clouds, and these dissolv in rain. This is not mere theory. It has been proved that the destruction of forests of any extent quickly change the climate of the whole district. Whereas before it has an abundant rainfall after disafforestatrion the rainfall because scantry, the land went out of cultivation and became an arid desert. On the went out of cultivation and bece an arid desert. On the other hand, afforestation, or the planting of forests will turn a desert into a well watered and fertile.

The Uses of Athletics. Use: They increase physical strength and health. Abuse: In excess, they damage health they may absorb time and attention which should be given to study. The most obvious use of athletics is in connection with physical health. A thletics harden the muscles, expand the lungs, and make the body strong and fit. They may not be necessary for men whose daily work is manual labour but for stud not and people of sedentary occupations, a certain amount of physical exercise is essential and such exercise is best taken in the shape of games and athletic sports. Manly games like hockey and football give a man pluck and courage. Naturally timid boys should play such games, so as to become more manly. Moreover, they teach discipline. No man can be a good athlete who does not control his appetites. He cannot eat and drink the hat he like or sleep as long as he wants, or he will become soft Athletics not only harden his muscles, but strengthen his will power.

The Infuluence of Railways of Indian Social Life. In old days the means of communication in India were very bad. Of course, there were no railways and the roads were few and even they were very unsatis factory. It was the British who introduced, first good metalled roads, and then about the middle of the nineteenth century, railways. Before their time, there fore, there was little travelling for a journey of any length was a tedious difficult and often dangerous business and trade was local and on a very small scale most of the people knew no place but their own village and immediate neighbourhood, and lived and died where they were born. Railways have broken down the isolation of the different parts of India, even the poor have taken to travelling in the trains, and many of them go to quite distant parts. They have discovered that they live in a very large country with many varieties of climate and physical features, and with many different people's and races and nationalities. All this has led to a broadening of the mind and a knowledge of and sympathy with people whom they used to regarded as foreigners. The old village narriwn as and isolation is breaking down and the sense of nationality has been born.

The Influence of Geographical Position and Climate. The influence of climate upon the character of a nation has sometimes been exaggerated, but it is in doubtly of importance. The two extremes of heat and cold seem to have a similar effect, for the people both of tropical and arctic climates alike lack energy and initiative. In the topics the extremes and often moist heat saps the vitality, discourages exertion, and makes the inhabitants lethargic and ease loving and in such countries Naagurs so bountifully supplies man wants tegion the excessive coul seems to numbers men energies and render them torpid and there nature is so niggardly and man struggle for existence so severe that it consumes all his energies and leaves him exhausted for any other kind of effort. It is significant that no great enterprising conquering or highly civilized nation has arisen either in the torrid or the polar regions. The dominant races are those who dwell in the temperate zones where the climate neither too hot too cold is healthy and bracing and I here the struggle for existence is not so severe as to consumes all a man energies and yet severe enough to demand constant and thought and exertion.
