WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR?
The Power anil Pleasure of Doing
(iood to Others.
What iiic we here lor ? I
What is the prime purpose of!
life?
Some of us act as if we were j
here merely fur the purpose of
adding up columns of figures and
piling up pyramids of dollars, j
Some of us will rob our nights of
sleep, bieak the commandments
and callous our souls for the sake
of money that we can lose
Silly?
No more so than those who
: link we are in this world for the
purpose of acquiring power. To
be accounted "somebody" inside
some little circle, these will ride re
morselessly over the rights of oth
ers. For the mere pleasure of ex
ercising power they will rise on
the supping stones of prostrate
souls,
h'utile ?
Not more so than those who
think life should he dedicated to
pleasme. I hese try to rill their
days and nights with joy rides and
Heeling sensations. They crowd
enjoyment to the verge of satiety
and destroy their capaeity for nor
mal satisfaction.
What then are we here for?
By the process of elimination it
can be shown that a human being
is so built that every power, pleas
ure, acquirement, is in vain save
one.
And that?
The power and pleasure of do
ing good to others.
Oh, but you say
"That is Sunday school talk."
No, it is not. Or if it is not true
because it is taught in Sunday
school; it is taught there because
it is true.
It is Cod's truth.
Ihe law of it is bid in the con
stitution of things. It is attested
by all history and experience a
law as true as any in mathematics.
And
We know it. But, like Jonah, j
we are forever running away from
our mission. We prefer the perils :
of the sea and the habitat of the
fish's stomach to going to Nineveh.
; Get money ?
Yes, as much as you can hon
estly. And get as much power as you j
can use for good. Incidentally the
pleasure will come of themselves.
! But, above all
Do not forget what you are here
for.

Life is full of endless beauty,
Death is keeper of the tomb,
Smiles and laughter are from heaven,
Tears are jewels for the gloom.
If you want to scatter sunshine
O'er my care-worn, aching brow,
If you want to make me happy,
ttring your sweetest roses, now !
Let all sorrow turn to gladness,
Knowing thai beyond all strife
Heaven and God shall be my refuge,
When I've reached the Higher Life.
When I'm gone, it matters little
Wliai goes on above my clay;
I shall then be past the knowing,
Bring the roses then, to-day !

PHYSICAL STRAINS.
j Men Over Forty-Five Should Take
I No Excessive Exercise.
The physical decay of men over
forty must be more frequently
mentioned lest we forget the fact
that our physique was evolved for
only thirty-live or forty years of
strenuous use, says American Med
icine. It was not so long ago that
forty-five was extreme old age
counting time in the large way of
evolution. Lengthening of life has
been possible because civilization
has let up the physical strains so if
we continue them we must expect
to break as of old.
Athletes stop their efforts mere
ly because they are beaten by
younger men, but the nonathletic
seem to think that it is necessary
to keep up excessive exercise,
though the tissues cannot stand it.
There is, then no mystery in the
large number of damaged hearts
now being found, and they will
continue to increase in number and
severity until the medical profes
sion succeeds in impressing the
lesson.
Let us repeat it over and over
again until every man over forty
or forty-rive realizes that he has
lived his allotted time of physical
vigor and must ease up the strains
to retain his health. There is no
reason except abuse why so many
men break at titty-rive or sixty.
They should be healthy until sev
enty or seventy-hve and u is our
duty lo show how.

A RAILROAD MAN'S PRAV1-R.
An old railroad engineer expe
rienced religion and when asked
to lead in prayer, this is the way
he worded it :
"U Lord, now that I have flag
ged Thee lift my feet off the rough
road of life and plant them safely
on the deck of the train of salva
tion. Let me use the sa'ety lamp '
known as prudence, make all of
the couplings in the train with the
strong link of Thy love and let my j
hand lamp be the Bible, and Heav-'
enly Father keep all switches i
closed that lead off on sidings, es-!
pecially those with a blind end. j
"0 Lord, if it be Thy pleasure, !
have every semaphore block along
the line show the white light of
hope thai I may make the run of
life without stopping and Lord give
us ihe ten commandments as a
schedule time; and when my train
shall have pulled into the great
dark station of death, may Thou,
the superintendent of the universe,
look with a smile and say, 'well
done thou good and faithful ser
vant, come up and sign the pay
roll and receive your check for
eternal happiness.' "
EDUCATIONAL.
"Do they teach domestic science
at your college?" inquired the vis
itor, of the freshman.
"Only sett ing. " replied the
freshman.
"(iood idea," said the visitor.
"And what do ou sew, chiefly'"
"Wild oats," replied the fresh
man. Harper's Weekly.
KIRST AND LAST.
"As ihe last rose of summer
goes out the first rows of winter
come in ?"
"The first rows of winter?"
"Sure, the bald-head rows at the
vaudeville shows."
