Energy the Salt of Life.

In an address on "Self Culture"
in Baltimore, recently, the Rev. DR..
Tobias Schanfarber said:
1--WE all need that broadening of
the intellect and training of the
the moral nature that makes man
lift himself out of the present and
into the future of a brighter and
better coloring. We need that ex-
pansion and development that dis
tinguishes man from the eanimal and
makes us akin to beings of the
highest type. Man should strive to
develop his faculties and his intel
lect even as the little seed that is
planted broadens into giant tree.
Every soul is seed aud every seed
is capable of development. In every
soul there are germs that are pro-
phetic of better and nobler things.
Every one of us is either aiding to
build up a greater structure than
was reared in the past or we are
retarding the worlds growth.
Energy is the salt fife. 1t has
been the impending aud prOpelling
force in the lives of all illustrious
men. Without it the world
would be yet sleeping in darkness
and enveloped in misty Clouds
These souls cared not for the trials
they endured. They were obliyious
to all but the fact that they we're
put here for purpose; put here to
grow and help others to grow. So
it should be with us now. Without
diligent work there is little hope for
us to pluck the star of greatness
from its appointed place and make
it part of ourselves. In youth,
when our powers are strong and
endurance great, is the time to CON-
mence to seek culture, to widen our
intellectual range, to become con-
versant with the thoughts that are
destined to lift the world and ele
vate man. That is the time TO toll,
to seek to create every tint that
tends to brighten the world and
send out into it influences that will
last for ages.
"To-day is the time to secure
knowledge. With the printing press,
the newspapers, the magazines, the
public schools and all the vast re-
sources for acquiring Information
aud knowledge, thete is no excuse
for ignorance or for frittering away
useful moments. One hour spent
with the men who have made our
civilization is worth more than a
dozen put to frivolous uses. If We
want to add a little to the happiness
of the human kind we must be con-
stantly looking forward.
''It is wrong to suppose that self
culture is opposed to other enjoy
ments and to free physical exercise.
Without health we can do very
little, and the bright sun and free
air are conducive to health, and
beside very often one hour spent in
communion with nature is worth
more than a week closeted in the
study. But when it is all pleasure
and no study one side of our nature
only is developed, while the other is
stunted. We must educate and
control our will power so that it
becomes strong if we desire to de-
velop, expand and unfold our full
ness. For all of these are essential
and enter into the soul of self-cul-
ture, which teaches us that life is
duty we'll done.

Proverbs.

The glory of young men is their
strength, and the beauty of old men
is the grey head.
The getting of treasures by ly-
ing tongue is a vanity tossed to and
fro of them that seek death.
The thoughts of the diligent tend
only to righteousness; but of every
one that is hasty only to want.
An Inheritance may be gotten
hastily at the beginning; but the
end thereof shall not be blessed.
There is treasure to be desired
and oil in the dwelling of the wise;
but foolish man spendeth it up.
The sluggard will not plow by
reason of the cold; therefore shall
be beg in harvest, and have nothing.
He that is slow to anger is better
than the mighty; and he that ruleth
his spirit than be that taketh a city.
He that hath a froward heart
ffndeth no good; and he that hath a
perverse tnngue falleth into mischief.
Whose mocketh the poor reproach-
eth his Maker; and he that is glad
at calamities shall not be unpunish-
ed.
He that goeth about as a tale.
bearer revealeth secrets; therefore
meddle not with him that flattereth
with the lips.
He that hath pity upon the poor
lendeth unto the Lord; aud that
which he hath given viii he pay
him again.
