and has always done so. She wonders why with
all her efforts her population tends TO dlminuton
rather than Increase. The reason is that there
are better chances for industry and enterprise

over here where the climate Is milder. the soil
better. political conditions more liberal and en-
liehtened, and where there is business or all

ness OF all the precious things that life
well lived can contain

ness Of all the precious things that life
well lived can contain.
Length of days is important, Of course,
but it is not all-important. There is
something much more to be sought after
than that. Lengthen out your life, If you
will, but broaden out your heart at the
same time. Living long is one thing, but
in comparison with living long and aim
lessly, there is something much better,
and that is to die in the harness of effort.
Mere living like a sheep is perhaps harm
less, but it is not human nor humane.
The bodily shell of the soul is and should
be cared for to make of it the best pos
sible covering for the precious thing in
side-much as one would devote care to
the casket that contains a iewel--but how
foolish to give all the care to the casket.
By taking thought of ones self the years
may be stretched out long way further
than now; but what is all this dread of
earthly salts in the bones from meats and
from coffee, if there the anxiety ends? If
distilled water is to have its perfect work
in you, it has to take you out of yourself
and give you a broader heart, otherwise
the whole effort is selfish.
You can live to become a wonder of old
age, for the curious to stare at. but that
does not mean enough. If your head has
been bowed down like the OK simply to
the "wherewithals'' of life, not caring for
comprehending the universe nor even that
particle of it that is represented by the
very simple word of "neighbor', your life
will have been long and fruitlessly long.
Such living reminds one of the very old
oaks that are occasionally seen in England
perfect marvels of age and decay. But
so far as having filled their utmost. they
would have better been cut down in the
prime of strength to give it to others, than
to stand simply as harbors for all that is
unpleasant and destructive in old age.
There is always one danger in this sort
of writing to a general list of readers-the
fear OF creating feeling of discourage
ment in the hearts of those who realize
that, at the best their lives are likely to be
narrow and hard, to toilers and such who
are held down by stern necessity to one
place or to one task. Yet feeling of dis
couragement is not proper; for after all
the tasks of the world are many and no
one person can do them all the one,
therefore, that you are doing may indeed
seem to you very small and thanEIless, yet
in its relation to all the other world of e.
fort be very important indeed.
Then again any man and every man
woman a Well-must of necessity be
larger than the task before him or live a
very narrow life. There is absolutely no
excuse for even the humb lest art isan with
Il routine work of the most hopeless kind
living So narrow lie that he has neither
tne nor heart for the progress of the
world or the need and SORROW and suffer-
ing OF MS neighbor.
