High School Education Worth $60,000
A '? y^hng man who leaves high school ?u earn enough
money buy a hot-rod, for example. Is making "a major
flrfanciaT miscalculation In the neighborhood of $60,000.
A nyeu U? S. Department of Labor study shows that
th* vaUie of a high school education over a grade school
?ducitibn can be estimated at $64,000 In a lifetime, and
thai of a college education over a high school education
atiJlOO.000. v
A y?ti6g "t)?n 'Starting out in 1960 can expect to earn
about $? 0,00(1 during his life ? more or less depending
on his cflUcation. Thus, the ?verage lifetime earning po
tential oi s the grade school graduate Is estimated at
$179,000, of the high school graduate at $243,000, and of
the college graduate at $343,000.

THE DIMENSIONS OFLIFE'
All of ua in mom ana of
quietneas and modi union think
about life, itf dlmanaions and
meaning. What la llfa all
about? How can wa measure
our livaa?
Aman'a lUe It measured,
first of all, by lis length.
Everyona who reads the Bible
remembers die name of Me
thuselah. "Old as Me
thuselah" has become a by
word. Methuselah was 969
years old when he died, and
has become the symbol of
longevity.
Every normal and sane per
son wants to live as long as
'he can. A cartoon recently
pictured an elderly man saying
to the young nurse wfio la
trying to console him, "Stop
saying I will live to be 90.
I am 90." There is beauty
and blessing in long life. One
of the promises to the right
eous man in the Psalms la,'
"With long life will I sat
isfy him."
cnnstian people snouiaiooK
upon life Itself as t blessing.
They should think of It as a
gift and trust from God, and
try to deal wisely with It.
The body is the temple of God, -
and we should learn to take
care of our bodies and
indirectly of life Itself. Paul
said, "Present your bodiesas
a living sacrifice, holy and
acceptable unto God." We
must learn to make the best
use of bodies. We cannot be
the best Christian, if we drive
ourselves beyond all limits.
However longevity is not all
there is to life. Methuselah
lived 969 years and that's all
we know he ever did. His life
was long but thin as a string.
Life needs to have breadth.
Robert Louis Stevenson once
said, "The world is so full
of a number of things, some
people let their minds sink
into narrow grooves. Pre
occupied with petty things they
do not cultivate new Interests.
'Life grows unnecessarily
cramped and drab."
A Christian can be a better
Christian if he is a well in
formed Christian, We need to

happening to people around the
- world then we can cultivate
(he kind of atmosphere and
genuine human understanding
that can make for world co
operation and peace.
But even breadth and length
are not all there is to life.
The third dimension Is depth,
' the shallow lake no matter
how long it is may roll ba
stagnate. It needs tha depth
of new inflowing water to keep
it alive. There is not too much
beauty In a landscape that is
level as far as you can see.
but there Is beauty in the
mountains as they rise to
unscalable heights. They
speak to us about the vertical
dimension of life.
une 01 tne worst puntsh
. ments in medieval times was
to put men in dark dungeons
where they could not stand
erect. Some people condems
' themselves spiritually to an
existence like that. They llv*
confined in ideas and Insights
so low-ceilinged that the soul
cannot stand up. We need to
get out amidst the love and
mercy of Cod, and let the soul
lost in wonder, love, and
praise, stand up.
A life may be ereat with
out great length. It may still
be significant even if it has
not had a chance to broaden
much. But it cannot be true
life unless it has depth. A
gainst a life like that of Me
thuselah stand the infinite
dimensions of the life o f
Christ. By the world's cal
endar, it was only 30 years
long, but it was as wide as
: the needs of man, and as deep
and high as the love of God.
His life serves as an example
and a challenge to all those
who dare to own him as Mas
ter and Lord.
