Good Advice For Those who Would
Lead Better Lives.

NhN LIVED
Young man, would you swear off
indeed? Think of your mother, her
white hair and deathless words. Think
of your stalwart father, stern, but Just,
and prouder of you than any earthly
fame or name. Think of the men your
| sins damn. Think of the men your
good life would redeem. You can't
save the race, single city even, but
take some life tomorrow and make ii
your concern. Say to your nelghbor at
your desk:
TON, old boy, you are In trouble. l
have known 1t for some time l want
TO help you. Don't be afraid of me.
Don't laugh at me. Tell me what Is
wrong I'll help you bear 1t. l am no
saint myself, but l mean to be better
man." You will get him IL he is worth
saving. Take n single family of poor
ones, smitten sorely this hard winter.
1t is too late now for Christmas din
ner, but coal and clothing and common
food and an hours chat now and then
will tide them over and save you.
You may "swear off" with oaths
unique and varied until you totter into
your grave, still Swearing off" against
death and hell, but every vow will be
broken unless you learn to think of
God and your fellow men. Don't nope;
don't go away alone and think OF your
self, your craving nerves, your past
sins, your blasted hopes, your forgetful
friends, your isolated and defeated life.
That Is suicidal. Don't, on the other
hand. be sancltmonious; don't pretend;
don't even tell your friends that you
have turned over n new leaf; don't I'M
dertake too much. You can best think
of God and men In company with those
who are thinking rs you want to think.
For this end our Lord established his
kingdom on earth.-Rev. Barton o.
Aylcsworth.

You have your time to live and die like man,
And now has come your time to go to rest
You rounded out the life you well began,
You irolicked with the Spring when you were

And to the long radiant Summer chung.
When Ger the hills the blushing Autumn ran
You followed her and fingered at her side
Until she fed when Winter came In sight,
Armed with his weapons for a sturdy fight

You being old and weak, he in his prime
