The ebullition of youth is then spent, its turbu lence is over; but, too often, I am afraid, the wild passions have only given place to an ex ternal sobriety, while the heart is as far from God, and as car nal as ever. If ybu suspect this to be a hasty decision, examine what passes in the world. Do you not observe great parties of men in the decline of life as earthly-minded as before? The passion for pleasure has indeed I abated, but the love of lucre, the most sordid of all passions, hath come into its place. If such persons have any regret for their past life, it is only because it is past Even then, they look with envy upon the gay and the flourishing state of the young. With what joy and triumph do they talk over the excesses of their early days, and seem to re new their age in the contempla tion of their youthful follies? Alas, my friends, is not God the Lord of all your time? Is there one of your days which doth not pertain to him? Why would you then take the flower of life, and make it an offering to the en emy of souls? Is yoar time too long, to be all employed in the service of God? Is the prime of your days too precious, to l>e de voted to heaven? And will you only reserve to your Maker the ; refuse of life; the leavings of 1 the world and the flesh? If you I would speak it out, the language of your heart is this; that while I you are good for anything, you ! will mind the world ai^d its pleas HIS LUNCH You'll be surprised how much time you con sove, and how much more health and flavor you can pock into these lunches ... if you plan ahead.

Any part of your time, you think, is good enough for God; you will apply yourselves to the work of your salvation, when you are fit for nothing else; and when you cannot make a better of it, you will seek tha Kingdom of Heaven. Is is thus that ye require /4he Lord, O people, foolish and ''un just? Is this your gratitude to your benefactor? Is this your love to your Father? Is this your kindness to your friend? While He now calls upon you in the sweetest language of Heaven, “My son, give Me thy heart,” ought it not to be the natural movement of your heart, to an swer with the good man of old, “with my soul have I desired thee in the night; with my spir it within me, will I seek thee early. “Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none in all the earth whom I desire be side thee.” in the second place, let me ex hort you to early piety, from the consideration of those evils which await you in your future days. Now is your golden age. When the morning of life rejoices over your head, everything around you puts on a smiling appear ance. Ail nature wears a face of beauty, and is animated with a spirit of joy. You walk up and down in a new world; you crop the unblown flower, and drink the untasted spring. Full of spirit, and high in hope, you set out on the journey of life; visions of bliss present them selves to view: Dreams of joy, with sweet delusion, amuse the vacant mind. You listen and ac cord to the song of hope, “To morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.” But ah. my friends, the flattering scene will not last. The spell is quick ly broken, and the enchantment soon over. How hideous will life appear, when experience takes off the mask, and discovers the sad reality! Now thou hast no weariness to clog thy waking hours, and no care to disturb thy repose. But know, child of the earth, that thou art born to trouble, and that care, through every subsequent path of life, will haunt thee like a ghost. Health now sparkles in thine eye, the blood flows pure in thy veins, and thy spirits are gay as the morning: but alas! the time will come when diseases, a numerous and a direful drain, will assail thy life; the time will come, when pale and ghastly, and stretched on a bed, “chastened with pain, and the multitude of thy hones with strong pain, thou wilt be ready to choose strang ling and death rather than life.” - <>■ jr uui earthly companion*. Friendship, which in the world is a feeble sentiment, with you is a strong passion. But shifts the scene for a few years and behold the man of thy righthand become unto thee as an alien. Behold the friend of thy youth, who was one with thine own soul, striving to supplant thee and laying snares for thy ruin! I mention not these things, my friends, to make you miserable before the time. God forbid that I should anticipate the evil day unless I could arm you against it. Now remember your Creator, conse crate to Him the early period of your days, and the light of His countenance will shine upon you through life. Amid all the changes of this fluctuating scene you have a friend that never fails. Then let the tempest beat, and the floods descend, you are safe and happy under the shelter of the rock of ages. Thirdly, the season of youth devoted to piety, will yield you a comfortable old age. When the fire and spirit of youth are decayed; when sober age retires from the noise and bustle of a busy world and loves to spend in peace the tran quil Sabbath of life, what joy will it afford to be able to look l>ack with pleasure on the ac tions of other years! W’orn out and weary of his pilgrimage, the traveler now entertains himself by recalling the times that are past, and recollecting the scenes of his early days. In particular, he now loves to recall the period of childhood and of youth, when he wandered up and down, a stranger to care and sorrow, and passed his days in innocence. Of ten does the fold idea recur; of ten the pleasant period return. It Union Industrial Show To Be Gala Event This Year Washington.—The union indus tries Show of 1949, sponsored by the AFL’s Union Label Trades Department, and under the direc tion of I. M. Ornbum, promises to be one of the most brilliant attractions of the coming year. This was apparent from a statement released by Mr. Orn bum on plans for ,he show which will be held this year in the gi gantic auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio, from May 18 through May 22. Commenting on the forthcom ing gala event, Mr. Ornbum de clared: “The luxurious displays of un ion label goods and interesting demonstrations of union services will dramatise the art, skill and utility of the wondrous products made by manufacturers which have collective bargaining agree ments with AFL unions. “Union manufacturers and other business Arms which employ members of AFL unions are eli gible to participate in the exhibi tion and display their union-made goods. Other business establish ments that employ members of unions for services are also eligi ble to demonstrate them. Sev eral departments and many na tional and international unions of the American Federation of Labor have separate booths or display their products jointly with management. “With the aid and co-operation of management, highly skilled union workers take great pride in exhibiting their high-quality goods. The beautiful pottery, glassware and other products are works of art. Electrical devices, modern home furnishings, exqui site hats and latest style wearing apparel will supply the exhibition with other gorgeous attractions. It is union management’s and union workers’ own show — the only one of its kind in the world. “The armed services, including the U. S. Army, U. S. Navy and U. S. Air Force, will utilize an entire hall of the auditorium for displays of the latest defense equipment in newly designed ex hibit booths. It will be one of the educational features of the show, featuring animated de vices, moving models and exten sive lighting and sound systems used by the air force. There will^ be a miniature demonstration of an atomic bomb explosion. The navy will not only have an inter esting display inside the auditori um but it will have a 300-foot radar exhibit, under cover, out side of the auditorium. These exterior displays were helpful at the Milwaukee and St. Louis ex hibitions to sustain the interest of the overflow crowds at each performance. The army will dis play some of its radar anti-air craft equipment, some of which will he shown for the first time.” WHIP8 CIO IN POLL TEST Buffalo. — The AFL’s Interna tional Ladies Garment Workers Union whipped the CIO’s Textile Workers Union in a collective bargaining election held among employes of the Seneca Knitting Mills Company at Seneca Falls and Auburn, according to an an nouncement by the National La bor Relations Board here. The AFL union received 172 votes of the company’s workers against 64 ballots cast for the CIO affiliate. will add much, my friends, it will add much to the pleasures of the reflection, if you have It in your power to recall to mind that your early days were not only in nocent, but useful, and devoted to the service of your Creator. To look back on a life, no season of which was spent in vain; to number up the days, the months, and the years, spent in the serv ice of God, will be inward rap ture, only to be felt. This will cause the evening of life to smile, and make your departure like a setting sun. I shall conclude with one con sideration which I hope will have weight, and that is, if you seek God now in the days of j youth, you are certain of success Go out in the morning of youth and you are sure to gather the manna of everlasting life.
