words: young men the worl:. needs

Tho trouble has been that religious

not be to get Sandow physiques. but to
keep bodies In the best possible condi-

also means that the best intellectual

Tor: that is tho real purpose in life.
An old school OF philosophers taught
that happiness on earth was the real
purpose. but the real purpose Is useful

themselves useful, not for the purpose
OF enjoying themselves. The speaker
referred to the book. Ian Keith Fall

stenography, and other pursuits until
he mastered Sanskrlt and other Ian
guages, getting professorship in Ok

u Christian. He knew that he was put
on earth to be useful. SO he went to

Rev. Mr.. Wishart closed by asking
young men to get the proper conception

lifting up Wheeling and community.
