The second class of young men for
which there is an opportunity in the
ministry today, is the men who dare do
their own thinking, who, believing in
the eternal realities of religion and the
pressing demands of morals, will set
themselves to the high task of squaring
theology with the latest developments in
science, art and literature, men who will
not only believe in the continuous revela-
tion of the eternal, but will try to in
terpret the same, regardless of bishops,
synods and councils. The young man
who will dare bring the revelations of
his study into the pulpit, and will brook
no interval between his thinking and
his public speech, is the young man that
many community is looking for. Such
minister may encounter heresy trials,
may find no place in any of the estab-
lished churches, but the people are
waiting for him and in proportion as he

increased it's assets from 1853 millions to
1926 millions An increase of 1O6 per
centum-an unparalleled record compel
ling the admiration of the life insurance
world.
Where is that right-minded young
man who may not find lasting inspira-
ton in the crystalized thought of this
intrepid trinity, to whose language
respectful reference has been made?
Surely, fortified by so lofty sentiment,
the business of life insurance should be
as eagerly sought by our worthy sons as
does this important department. of
worldwide industry impatiently await
their approach, for here may be found,
not alone means of acquiring an hon.
orable competency, but every oppor-
tunity leading up to successful career
an eminent name; and firm am I in
the belief that there shall not be found
in all the history of manly effort any
thing larger than the growth of life in
surance as a business of universal sig
nifcance, unless it shall be found in the
very characters of them who to this
business have given life's devotion !;
that if there shall ever be any trade,
business or profession, any walk in the
commercial life of people, affording
greater opportunity for honorable ac-
complishment, the same must be in re-
lation to some department of activity
not yet by man conceived, some plan of
manly action that shall have directly to
do with the further uplifting of our
race and our institutions.

is able, consecrated and vigorous in
body and mind, will he find his oppor-
tunity.
To the young man or young woman
possessing these qualities there are no
openings in society today more tempting
and more sure to bring the rewards dear
to the scholar, the philanthropist and
earnest friend of truth and righteous
ness, than the progressive ministry;
there is no position today so indepen-
dent, so free from intimidations and en-
tanglements as that of the independent
man in the pulpit, the man who thinks
what he says, and who dares say what
he thinks. There are thousands
of communities in the United States,
the better intellectual life and the civic
conscience of which are untouched by
the churches waiting for such minis
ter as have indicated.
repeat, then, only the 'good young
man." who is willing to subordinate the
intellectual life to his emotional and re-
ligious nature, and the strong yonng
man who is determined to combine these
two, to demonstrate the possibility of
uniting vigorous thinking with rever-
ent service, need look to the ministry
today with any hope of finding an open
door.

intimidated by its unforeseen and un-
precedented growth.
No antiquated bones, no "dry dust"
conservatism such as has dwarfed so
many laudable undertakings, were per-
mitted here, for these men knew when
to move as well as when to pause, when
to boldly strike out and forward as
we'll as when to retrench.
Seeking effective inspiration, shall we
not turn to their words replete with the
resolute manliness that encouraged their
ennobling thought? What stirring dec
laration is this Of the late President of
The Mutual Life, the honored Frederick
S. Winston: "We have had this simple
watchword for our guide-Equity no
man, woman or child can truthfully
charge this company with voluntarily
Withholding that which was his or her
due, or with striving to avoid it's just
obligations" And where may be found
more earnestness of speech than in the
selected utterance of that fearless man,
who, from a modest clerkship rose to
the presidency of the company which
unconsciously he founded as his own
imperishable monument? I have in
mind the lamented Henry B. Hyde,
founder of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society of the United States, and his
never to be forgotten words addressed
to me in person, when Mr.. Hyde was in
the fullness and vigor of his splendid
manhood 81 want those who will en-
list in the service of this company to
feel with me, that we are going to make
the Equitable the greatest life insurance
company on the face Of the earth. AS
it's president, l will not forget to re-
ward the workers who help me to make
it So" The history of his company
shows how well Henry B. Hyde kept
this pledge.
Living words -teeming with the same
ceaseless energy and righteous resolve
that have given rare character to his
public life, were those of acceptance Of
fered by Richard A. McCurdy to the
board of trustees of the Mutual Life of
New York, when, sixteen years ago,
they SO conspicuously honored that
company and this man by placing him
in highest authority over the honorable
destinies Of that institution. l quote

Panics md Religious Books.

There Is one kind Of business, accord.
Ing to New York man prominent in
1t, that does not enjoy easy financial
conditions. 1t is that Of publishing de-
votional and religious literature. This
publisher explained this anomalous
condition as follows:
"When everybody Is prosperous,
there Is no very great demand for our
publications. People are happy, and
they do not go to church to any great
extent. Preachers will tell you that
church attendance is never so good in
prosperous times as 1t is in periods OF
financial straits.
"Let panic come on, however At
first our business feels 1t as keenly rs
any other line. People suddenly cease
buying everything except what they
are obliged to have. AS times fail tC
improve, people take more to going to
church. Attendance increases very
perceptibly. In few weeks we can
tell 1t In our business. There is a
greatly increased demand for devo-
tional books OF all kinds. The busi-
ness increases, and at the very height
of the financial troubles we do the
largest business. AS times get better
you can see our trade In this line of
publications gradually drop off until,
when prosperity again comes round,
we settle down to normal business
quite different from the boom we had
been enjoying."-New York Times.

vestal Virgins.

Ovid tells us that the first temple Of
vesta at Rome was constructed of wat
tied walls and rooted with thatch, like
the primitive huts Of the inhabitants.
It was little other than circular COW
cred fireplace and was tended by the
unmarried girls of the infant commu-
nifty. 1t served as the public hearth
Of Rome, and on 1t glowed, unextln-
guished throughout the year, the sa-
cred fire which was supposed to have
been brought from Troy and the con-
tinuance Of which was thought to be
linked with the fortunes Of the city.
The name Vesta is believed to be de-
rived from the same root as the San
skirt was, which means "to dwell, to
inhabit," and shows that she was the
goddess 6 home, and home had the
hearth as its focus. A town, state,
is but large family, and what the do
nestle hearth was to the house that,
the temple of the perpetual fire, be-
came to the city. Every town had It's
yesta, or common hearth, and the col
onies derived their fire from the moth
er hearth.
Should n vestal maiden allow the sa-
cred fire to become eXtinguished she
was beaten by the grand pontif till
her blood flowed, and the new fire was
solemnly rekindled by rubbing togeth-
er of dry wood or by focusing of suns
rays. The circular form and domed
roof Of the temple Of Vesta were sur
vivals of the prehistoric huts of the
aborigines. which were invariably
round.-Cornhill Magazine.
