SPEED 18 LIFE. | This was the motto of a certain well-known sportsman; one of the greatest speed-kings of this time or any other time. “Speed U life" waa not only his watch-word but kls work ing rule. By following thia adopted precept he lived his life all too fast. In attempting to gain a higher rata of speed titan he had evar reached ha loat his Ufa la a tragic manner. Ko speed, which was supposed to be life for him, brought his untimely death. Is there such a thing as an untimely dsath? Certainly, for this man reached one. He had vitality and energy to last him for a long time, but he used it all in a short time. Ha felt that be must gu fast, must get there before the other folks did, and stand with watch in hand to laugh at the slow-movers. Hut what did he do by getting there first? In talk ing about it afterward he wasted mors lima than be saved by speeding. Even had he saved the time he would have made no good use of it, and so there you are. There waa one time though that he did not gat there. The end own while he waa ia swiftest flight, and he fell exhausted beyond the line that marks the division be tween this Ufa and the Ufa to coma. All too many people have taken this motto fur themselves. Speed is life. They must live fast. They as sociate with themselves a group of fast companions. No slow hum drum Ilfs will do for thorn. No tiaaa to waste on moral codes and law and; oneaiencr. learning* oi rather and mother and the commandment! of God are all oot of date. They must have new things. Everything must be different from the other; must bo catchy and interesting. What they did yesterday ia new aadly out of data All must bo of 1914 model; no bach number* and old times for them. <1 The watch-word of the «peed ere Jl it, driak and 1— merry, f<r.»|V morrow we die." And to they go; do j restraint on appetite or lust or am-' bition. Eat a little more, driak a lit mors, go ofteoer and faster and stay later. For them heaven is situs tad at the banquet table, or at the club, or In the ball room or the pool room. Their ambition* ris* but little higher than these matters. Tbi» earthly life will bo over-with won enough at best;' why shonld we try to speed It up a little more rapidly T As lor me I am in bo burry to stand before the Judg- j meat teat of Christ which ia placed beyond the bounds of this life. A eer-' tain woman laid of her mother that "8b* walked simply but steadfastly through life" Hew much better ia such a course titan the "»«d rush «to have" and “te go." Win you, ay friend, be so thoughtful as to slew up a bit for fear the and should com* before you are ready for it? I rODS GAMES THIS WEEK.
