the grandest problem of earthly existence.
The grand aim OF human life should be to
build up character for eternity. This is the
only reason why man is endowed as he is.
Reference was made to the laws of physical

into forms of strength and beauty as typical of

OF character to usefulness on the one hand and
to happiness on the other.

make others talk. This is a very
valuable gift. To be able to direct

This is very different from the
consciousness OF having been bOreu

persons often carry away from the
presence of a fluent and tyrannical
talker. There is a good deal OF

The Bouquet-An Amusing Game

Each player IN turn supposes her
self or himself 4 bouquet, consisting
oi three flowers. Then, having de
termined on the flowers, each names
them aloud, and the leader writes
them down privately, and adds the
names of three persons to each list.
He then asks each player to what
use the flowers named were to be
put; the player tells him, and then
he adds them to the papers after
the names. As for example:
Leader-Kate, choose your three
flowers.
Kate-Marigold, bachelors but
ton and rose.
Leader-I have written down.
What will you do with the mari
gold?
Kate-Throw it on the fire.
Leader-And the bachelors but

Kate-Pat it out the window.
