Tbe following Mr. MacLaughhn's address in part: Lnke 12 1!5 " A man 's lit e consist- eth not in the abundance of tbe things which he possessetb." These words fell from the lips of the Lord Jesus Christ. No matter what - may be the attitude of yonr young miiuie and hearts towards Him and Christianity, Jesus of Nasareth must be acknowledged as one of the greatest personages that has ever trod this earth. ..What He has said and done must 1e reckoned with by every 1 one wno would contemplate air Iby everyone who would endeavor to find man's place in this world of hie. He has had much to say about life; not life in tbe abstract not life sci- cntincaiiy considered ; nut lire in toe concrete, the active, vibrating life o-' man1 member rb human familf. , The jrerse from which our text is taken opens with 'the exhortation, Take heed and beware of covetons- ness. . fSraphrasod, it wiuld be made to read; "Take heed and beware of that inrnost desire to be in possession of things." The world, Christian as aa well as pagan, in eacn succeeding age, with remarkable agreement, has fallen so completely into this common snare, and is ever doomed to disap- pointment. . .''I want this; I want that "-is so familiar a cry, that tbe heavy heart, the burdened spirit, the unsatisfied soul are known to all etu- dents of history. It is the common confession of sorrowful experiences, uttered by many voices, witnessed by many lives. It is a truth hard to grasp, but a truth : " A man 's life con. sisteth, not in the abundance of tSc things which he possesseth, There once came to Jesus a rich young . ruler 'with the all important' question, "What must I do to inherit eternal life!.' ' Jesus put to him' in quiries concerning the - laws of the decalogue. . He" replied : "All these have I kept from my youth up. Great were his possessions. Riches, honor: moral character, social and I ecclesiastical position, Intellectual at tainments. "One -thing thou lackest." His life ,the real life that. he. wanted, consisted not in the abundance of his great possessions.: ? ; ; What are jour possessions T First, we may speak of those pos- I sessions which you now have. . You I nave beaitb and strength, tbe vigor 1 and buoyancy or youth. This body ia thet abode o ft be soul It is a prec- lions gift of God. And more from the I Holy Word we learn that it "is tbe I temple 0 ftbe Holy Ghost." It is, in- 1 aeea, no mean possession. The fact that you are here today, in this place, upon thia occasion, is an evidence that you have' brains, that yon possess certain ' mental power. We may right ly conclude that you arc in possession of a true conviction concerning the possibilities of your bt power. The fact that I am I nere touay, van mis company w an- a I sembled,-and these religious services in progress, further testifies that you 1 have been led to realize something of the moral obligations tbat rest np- on every one 01 us. ah tuose are your ; I possessions, and they are priceless. vl I ct, your Uie consisetn not in tne abundance of these Let us briefly consider what the future may bring to you. Continued good health and strength of body. AQ intelligent nan, and women todayare bound, in duty to society as well as to self, to learn well and cherish the laws of health and hygiene. , I hops for all of you that you may go on in the pro- of those splendid inteheetuaj talents that are yours. And may there be most firmly built' into the foundation of your character those great stones that shall hereafter aaesa stability of character: Truth, Purity, Temper ance, Patience, Comragv Wealth may eome to you, position in. the social and eosrmeroal world; fame may eome, and many ether experiences which tbe world regard. ; These .great pos sessions, for which ee many strived may all be yoars; Yet yonr life will not consist in their abundance. Tea. we mar ask. " What is lifef" Your life, the life of each of yon is something more than "a little gleam of time between twe eternities." It is something to bar Uved, and in that living something to. be done. Jesus called the neb. young ruler to a life of service. -The world of men tiday ia clamoring for those who are willing to sacrifice self, take np their cross, and give themselves to a life of service. Tbe word that the Greeks employed for money signified "that which is made nse of.f Hence un dcrstandhe text, while," A man 'a life consisteth not in the .abundance of the things which he possesseth," yet, having possessions, even enio abun dance bis life shall consist in the use that he makes of those possessions. Those who have had . advantages of education, in all its varied interests, and fail to do something for the ad vancement of tbe human family, their education may be regarded as det rimental. " Life ia what you make it." If we are trulv concerned in the making of a life, rather than in the making of a livingand will not at tempt to undertake o great an enter prise in our own strength, then may we say "life is what We make it" For God is present, calling to us, though we hear not visible ' to us though we see n jCTheft is a call of that higher life which! is never si lenced. Would you kni-f the secret of the great life of Chinese Gordon t It was because he "gate his heart to God." Tbe life that I Would have you all know cannot be your peculiar ex oersenee without, intirnate. intelli gent and associated wotinsogether with Uod, through . Jesus Christ; Not only to. make. up well-balanced, sym metrical character, a character that will meet the wants and emergencies of our times," must one be a Chris tian. But, in order to have the true and necessary inspiration for a life, a fife of useful service, must one be identified with tbe Lord Jesus Christ. The world is calling with a loud voice for men and women, who, under the leadership of the Matchless One, the One true Lord and Friend, Jesus Christ, can and will forsake father and mother, conventionalities and traditions, and go forward to the 'rough work of a work-a-day world.' The audience was dismissed with the benediction by Rev. J. A. J. Far- rington, paster of Ep worth Methodist church.
