1t is estimated that nearly 4O0, 200. OOO
kilograms are forwarded every year

The average depth of the Texas
spouting oil wells is few feet more
than thousand, and the height to
which the oil is elected is 60 to 200 feet.
The vibration in the London "tup-

as much as possible by using an in

A LESSON FOR TIE YoUvG.
The Cost of Opportunity Not Great to
the Youth Hut Increases
with the Years

We all know the ancient story Of the
Cumaean Sybil, who offered her nine
precious books of prophecy TO the
Roman king of old, and who being re-
!ected, burnt three, and came back
year later to offer those which re-
NAMED for the same high price; then,
refused a second time, burnt all but
three, and returned next year to ask
she full price for them. and received il.
Each leaf, before she finished, was
worth its weight in gold; but the price
had to be paid. Legend or history, the
story is true to the nature of things.
1t is an alegory of opportunity, as
countless human beings can testify.
Happy the man who, unlike the Roman
king, takes the first offer of the sybi!.
and does not instead have TO pay full
price for n fragment afterward.
1t is commonplace, and common
place of which young people are par
ticularly impatient, that youth is the
time of opportunity. The boy or girl
gets tired of hearing about it. In the
very certainty that opportunities are
theirs, some young persons are fool
lsh enough TO put them aside and post
pone them indefinitely. Nevertheless,
1t is true, no matter how hackneyed
truth appears, that the bargains i'm
opportunity are all offered in youth.
Things come easy to the young mind
and soul that would cost tremendous
~ later. A friend secured in youth. an
education gained before the work Of
life begins, n noble character early es-
tablished, are priceless in proportion
TO their cost. And above all. the re-
hgious opportunities of the soul are
unmeasurably greater and better in
early years than afterward. Excen+
an heather country, the GOSPEL on
portunity comes without price to bows
and girls, young men and maidens
with no entrenched sins, with none
OF the stifing cares OF middle life.
with no lifelong evil or worldly assoc
Citations, they are free TO accent Christ
as the least cost. The younger the
Christian, the easier the Christian life
Is well-nigh universal rule.
Every year adds to the cost OF on
Portunity, for every year opportunity
must grow less. Those who neglect
the riches of early opportunity, and
buy the poor remnant of the same on
Portunity later, can all testify to this.
1t might have been" is a proyerbiol
phrase, because it comes home to uni
Versal experience. The price rises in
exorably in proportion as we get less
IN return. The same amount of will
power and work that would poin
friends, honor and fine start in life
Tor lad, will hardly help a man of
50 to conquer a single bad habit.
Forming character rightly costs not
tenth of the effort and pain that
must go to reform character. even
lmperfectly, ten years later. The
young disciple always has salvation at
MS freest and best. Christ said: "Suf-
Fer the little children to come INTO
Me-" He chose young men as His
apostles. His divine wisdom knew the
cay OF opportunity. and the law of its
cost; Unless we realize it too, we
shall make bad bargain of life

few words on three separate sheets

Obedience.

obedience-how slow we are to ap-
preciate its value, and we are still more
slow to work it into our conduct. 1t is
easier to choose our own path. 1t is
far more comfortable to do our own
will. But God requires this OF His
friend. There is no other path that
leads to these splendid heights of priv
ilege. Many of us are missing the por-
ton that God holds for us because we
are unwilling to obey.-Rev. E +. Hal
