An Earnest Life.

recommend no sour, ascctic life.
l believe not only in the thorns on
the roscbush, but in the roses which
the thorns defend. Asceticism is the
child Of sensuality and superstition.
She is the secret mother Of many a
secret sin. God, when he made
mans body, did not give us a fiber
too much nor passion too many.
l would steal no violet from the
young maiden's bosom; rather would
l fill her ans with fragrant roses.
But life merely Of pleasure. or
chiefly Of pleasure, is always poor
and worthless life, not worth the liv-
ing; always unsatisfactory in its
course, always miserable in its end.
Read the literature Of such men,
from Anacrcon Of old to Anacreor
Moore of our times, and it is the most
unsatisfactory literature in the world.
There is the banquet, and the wine
circles and the flowers are gay; but
behind all these is the cmblcmatic
coffin, and the skeleton stands there
to scare the man from, his roses and
cups. No lamentations Of Jeremiah
are to me so sad as the literature OF
pleasure. 1t is we'll to be ascstic
sooner than waste your life in idle
Joys. The earnestness Of life is the
only passport to the satisfaction Of
Parker.
