A Methodist missionary in Ceylon
one day received a call from an aged
Buddhist. He was SO years old and
very decrepit and almost blind. Like
all others of his religion he looked for
a reincarnation in another body, after
he died. according to his merits. and
this is his list OF merits as he told II
to the missionary: Il have climbed
Adams Peak twenty-six times: / have
visited the Temple OF the Tooth seven
times; / have caused several Buddhist
books to be copied and given to the
priests, and / have never killed an
animal. except few fish that ]
caught. So you see | have plenty Of
merit. and | shall be born well in my
next life" This old man had not done
good to any human being. and his
faith appeared to be mostly faith In
himself. Ceremonial religion furnish
es few examples more characteristic
or more hopeless.

Nothing will give your life so high

what he could accomplish as member
of parliament. The first citizen Of a
village, a leader in local enterprises
and improvements, is more to be en-
We'd and more sure to be remembered
than the uninfiuential, ineffective con-
gresham. The neglect to use lesser
opportunities to serve the community
through an ambition to shine in high

take. and the fairest exemplihcation OF
good citizenship may be strikingly ex-
