the one grand result-tbat Of true life.
Life is the one great mysterious thing.
New thoughts take tho place Of The old
| ones, but the great mystery of life always
remains. There Is no new phase OF life.
W, are living tho same life that has been
lived. Its mystery cannot bo explained.
Worlds are nothing unless they mean,
something of human existenc,. Babylon
with all of Its magnifcence and richness
| is dead story now. Not ole man was
left to write the story of its home life. We
must look to the inscriptions Oh pottery
and monuments Of that period for intor-
nation concerning it, and the history OF
Babylcn is almost sctt led inuo the gloom
of night. But we will always know the
story Of Greece.
Eminent men have written tho story Of
of i,s existence. W. know its story
because it was always connected with tho
higher life As the connection of intellec.
tually and tho higher ideals of life tell
something of the story OF countries. so
with the homo life.
This is the grandess creation OF the
great God. Out Of it man may construct
u tomple, where In tho immortal soul may
dwell. | believe in the power of model
ing life in some grand image Thsre are
principles of right living. True life must
have an ideal; true life must have work.
An ideal is an idea represented to our
Imagination as something real. There
arc muster of passions among mon. Some
say they arc home and country. These are
not the grande,t master passions
The relation between iuan and his Crea-
to. is the graudesC mas'er passion; we
call it tho ideal One-third Of us have no
idcal and drift along with the current, do
ing nothing, and another third assist US.
Let your life be modelled out to soma
IDEAL There is something in you to
mako the true man and true woman. ~,-
