pirate for this day and age. 1t is an
age of activity. Every door is open
aud voices are calling. The youth of
the land feel the energy of Anglo
Saxon blood stirred by the tonic of
opportunities unparalleled.
The Important Question.
1.-The important question for you at
this luncture is lord, what wilt Thou
have me do?' Surely this is q ques-
tion which should be referred to the
higher power of guidance Do moth
ing until you are ready to do the right
thing. Paul was made to wait and
learn in silence for years.
There is no surer way of finding
ones place than in the doing of the
next thing, the proving of ones worth
and ability in the service that God en-
trusts with you. Do what is asked of
you if it is honorable to do it.
Start in life with the golden rule
as a working motto. DO not let
selfishness make you slave. He who
thinks only of self and gathers only
for self. destroys that very self for
which he strives.
''Use what has been entrusted unto
you. The state has spent money for
you in giving you an education They
have given you knowledge, training,
increse of pleasure, ideals; use them. :"

Heaven the Goal.

The goal is heaven. not as a dis
tant place, but as high condition
and state of mind, soul and body.
Our race is not locomotion. but
sanctification. To be Christ-like is
heaven, and when conformed to His
image we shall be where He is. Pur-
ity of heart, perfected love and ex-
allied wisdom. these are the joys of
heaven. and not the streets of gold
or the jasper sea. though the sur
rounding will correspond to our state
of heart. The reward is not for what
We have done or become. but for
what Christ has become and done for
us and in US. Both are the vicarious
work of Christ. The merit and glory
are His, and still He holdeth our
crown in His hands,"
Prof. Sodergren in turn addressed

wholesome advice as to their future.

A Race for Life.


"a Race for Life shall be the
theme IF our sermon tonight. con-
tinued MIR. Sodergren, suggested by
the passage chosen as text for this
occasion, and this we propose to treat
under the following divisions: First,
the exhortation; second, the condi-
tions; third, the incentive, and fourth
the goal of the race. The exhortation
comes from God. He wishes to gain
our love, and love will not be coerced.
Nothing can become the eternal pos
session of a soul except by conscious
and voluntary choice. Another con-
dltion Of success is endurance. We
are not sprinting. A short-winded
sprint is not enough. We are engaged
in century run. Impediments of
all kinds will he encountered. Well
nigh impossible barriers viii be
thrown across your paths.
Instead of life becoming impov-
erished and barren it is being filled
with the riches of eternity. God
never takes anything away without
giving something infinitely better in
its stead. The cider leaves of winter
only give place to the new leaves of
spring, and the sunset in our CONT
nent is the sunrise in another.

severance and endurance in being
comprised about with so great q
cloud of witnesses

Business women of large cities in this
country are as class very well dressed
that is to say, they are well dressed for
their position. Pick out any business
woman on the street, and she will be
found almost invariably to be wearing
some kind of simple skirt and jacket,
well made as a rule, quiet and in good
taste. She wears wash shirt waists in
summer and wooden ones in winter.
Most of the color in her costume she puts
into her hats, and, while those are not
strictly of the tailor made or shirt waist
order, they are seldom trimmed with I'M
suitable fripperies. 1t is certainly ex-
cusable if the girl who works six days in
the week and has so little opportunity
to wear anything stylish likes to wear
a hat that is becoming to her. 1t may be
to some extent owing to their small in
comes that the girls are obliged to wear
simple clothes, but, with few exceptions,
whatever the reason, it will be found tina.
they are well dressed.-Chicago News.

File who takes himself to the shores oil
northern New England for season OF

characteristics unknown to other sections

lightful, the recreations of great variety
and the scenic display OF magnificence
beyond description.
The visitor is delighted with the seclu-
sion which penetrates the region, and a
most remarkable feature of the New Eng

hotels are, without exception, commodious
and finely appointed hosteiries, and moth

How seldom the believer realizes the

In the light of that wonderful prom
Use, 81 will not turn away from them
to do them good" let us consider our
own pitiable vacillations. The good
we do to people depends altogether on
our fuctuating feelings. 1t is only in
our overlooking moods that we scatter
benefits. We inaugurate schemes to
bless our fellow men, and grow weary
of rebuff ere anything is accomplished.
We approach unfortunates in the spirit
of love, sicken at the ingratitude of the
response and turn away" We so
soon grow discouraged in trying to
benefit the frivolous, the selfish, the
seemingly incorrigible.
Attempting to do good, we do not
strive patiently through months and
years toward success. We supplicate
the Throne for the salvation of a sinner
once, not continually. We say we
would do people good if they would let
us; we do not enter into that divine
love for humanity which is so great
that its only expression is in ceaseless
ministry. Compare all this with the
unchanging, unshakable steadfastness
of Gods compassion for His creatures,

them good."-Philadelphia Ledger.
