their cost or history, are pernicious if used with evil intent. The value of every art depends not on its ingenuity but upon its rational and benevolent service. The value of all knowledge is not in the gratification of curiosity but in the better ideas of justice and mutual helpfulness. It has been said that It is now the fashion to describe all origins, processes, and results as an evolution: this word is made to mean almost an infinite variety of theories in science, philosophy, religion, and statesmanship. It is a sort of “fad in modern learning: we have an evolution of everything from a tooth pick to a solar system: men have quit writing histories: they now write evolutions. I’ndoubtedly there are great processes in the material world and great movements in social life which may be conveniently described as an evolution. Rut in so far as these movements are in the direction of happier homes and nobler lives, they are conditioned in an involution of Intelligence and holy endeavor. The conquest of this world for righteousness is the achievement of human minds, hearts and hands inspired, guided and strengthened by the Holy Spirit of the ever living and ever loving Hod. We can not expect that all crime will be blotted out in a day: we can not hope that tomorrow will bring relief to every sufferer. The earth must continue for a season to bear many wrongs and sorrows, but we are sure a lietter time is coming. It may be the bad are becoming worse, but the good are more Intelligent, more practical and more useful in their goodness. It is a sign of a strong mind to be courageous and helpful: the true purpose of life is to deliver men from the bondage of fear: not only the distracting fear of tlie Infinite Hod but the fear of everything that Cod lias made. A true faith leads men to rejoice not only in the kindness of their Creator, but i also In the beneticenee of U His works. All the forms and forces of the material world have been created and are still controlled in the spirit of good will. Let us not be provoked into skepticism or indifference by examples of cant or hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is no more an argument against true religion than treason is an argument against true patriotism. Every relation in life which has been disgraced by the unfaithful hasalso been honored by the loyal and true. Let us not Ox our gaze on characters below us lest we fall to their level but study the strong and the useful and seek to enter their ranks. What do we see In history? The men who have been most sincere in their love of God have been most practical in their love of man. If we fashion our lives after tlie plan of ttie Great Teacher, if we remember we arc created in His image, that we are endowed with God given powers, than we are commissioned to bring the universe In subjection to His will In order that this planet may be made Into one harmonious whole we shall live lives that are worth while and we can say with Vandyke: •• We are glad of life because it gives us the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars: to be contented with our possessions, but not satisfied with ourselves until we have made the best of them: to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness and to fear nothing except our cowardice: to be governed by our admirations rather than by our disgusts: tocovet nothing that is our neighbor's except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manner: to think seldom of our enemies, often of our friends and every day of Christ: and to spend as much time as we can, with body and with spirit In God's out of doors—these are little guide-posts on the foot-path to peace.

(Ehr £ifc Chat By CHAS. F A KKTAIN professor recently prepared the following list of questions to I answered by every man before lie received bis degree of Bachelor of Arts: I)o you see anything to love in a little child? Have you sympathy with all good causes? (’an you look straight into the eyes or an honest man or a pure woman? Will a lonely dog follow you? Do you believe in lending a helping hand to weaker men? Do you believe in taking advantage of the law when you can do so? Can you he high minded and happy in drudgery? Can you see as much lieauty in washing dishes and hoeing corn as in playing golf and the piano? l)o you know the value of time and money? Are you good friends with yourself? |)o you see anything In life besides dollars and cents? Can you see sunshine In a mud puddle? Can you see beyond the stars? There is much of wisdom in this philosophy, for an education that does not result in the kind heart, the helpful spirit, the pure life, the love of honest labor and a firm trust in (Jod for the future is a failure: an education to In truly helpful must satisfy the craving of hungry souls. To be able to speak a kindly word to the discouraged and the fallen that will help them to retrieve the mistakes of their past ami to achieve the best that life holds for the future, to guide the uncertain steps of the wavering Into safe paths, to be able to take pride in the success of your fellowmen. to bury prejudice and to foster unselfishness, to see the good In men. to pass by the evil in them, this means much in a life of earnest endeavor. The world today needs men and women who can do things not alone for their material benefit but that they may give something of themselves for the moral uplift of humanity. Society has become a prey upon itself: Its parasitic tendency is strongly marked: so many of us are ready to take and so few to give: there Is great need that the spirit of the Creat Teacher should enter into our relations with our fellowman: live for others should be taught by example as well as by precept. To smooth the rough places of. life for those around us. to give joy to the sorrowing, to cheer the heavy laden and to point them to the higher life beyond—these are the blessed privileges that make our lives worth while. is fflorth 15 hi Ip MILLER. Supt “Life Is a series of surprises. We do not guess today the mood, the pleasures, the power of tomorrow when we are building up our being. The doing of little things that makes life's path-way brighter for another counts more than victories on the Held of battle. He who labors diligently for the highest good will Hud it, not in the accomplishment of tlie great things that lie contemplates, but in the succession of little victories that lias taught him broader sympathy for humanity and a greater love for his God. The selfish life finds itself growing weary as It contemplates its own misfortunes: no guide posts marked by kindness are in its wake and its only solace Is tlie bitter morsel of discontent. It is one thing to have hope in the future of mankind, it is quite another to be a living, effective force in hastening the coming of the kingdom of heaven. One of the faults of intelligent society Is an indulgence hi a lazy optimism which readily concedes the victory of truth hut does nothing to bring It to pass. God lias given two great sources of pleasure to Ills children. One Is the contemplation of Ills own works, wonderful in their number, magnitude, variety and beauty. The other source of purest enjoyment is in the doing of a worthy work. It is not conceit or vanity to find pleasure in some noble structure wrought by one's own brain and hands: it is really a divine satisfaction, for we are taught that God Hods pleasure In llie dignity and tieauty of his work. It should cheer us In our efforts to know that, as a parent. God is pleased w ith the earnest attempts of Ills children to accomplish a good work even if their success is not complete. It ought to cheer us still more to know that we can Join with Him in a work more precious than the uplifting of mountains, the gathering of oceans or rhe lighting of the stars. While there Is no promise in God's word that we can assist in the creation of new worlds, we are assured we can be fellow workers w ith Him In tiie redemption of tills one. We can not define righteousness in any terms which excludes our obligations to our fellow-men. We know that we can render no more valuable service to them than to induce them to forsake folly and sin and walk In the light of divine trutli and goodness. Tills Is the highest concept of human duty and privilege. We are not responsible for the mysteries of divinity but we are responsible for the needs of humanity which may lie lifted by our efforts. Righteousness is the great essential of life's power and duty. The fear of the Lord Is clean enduring forever:” as a motive to action it will never be inferior or obsolete.
