and keep house, it was declared, the lack
of a servant now and then would not be

that household service should not be
locked upon as mental, or as lowering
personal dignity; and, moreover, that it
should be esteemed q science well worthy

l. The nobility of Daniels purpose is
illustrated in his age. He was a young
man, and had been selected because of
his natural abilities to be educated for
the service of the king Of Babylon. For
Daniel at that age to take a firm stand
upon the side of moral and religious
convictions was certainly the manifesto
ton of nobility of purpose. How many
young men and young women indulge
in doubtful practices, excusing themselves
On the ground of their youth! They are
young. They must SOW their wild cats
They must have a good time in their
youthful days Not so with Daniel In
stead of sowing wild oats, he 'remem-
bered his Creator in the days Of his
YOUTH And did he live to regret it? No
nor does any young man who in the DAYS
of his youth purposes In his heart that
he will lead a virtuous and sober life?

EAGER For MONEY.

Henry Ward Beecher once said: 'aThe
whole air is full of gold dust and men
see everything through its haze" There
is no use denying the fact that the rush
of the world is for money. 1t is a power
for good or bad. and to be rich seems To
be the chief end of most men. Most peo-
pie. especially the young, have a false
and exaggerated idea of riches, and Il
acquire wealth young men often ruin
their characters and young women throw
their lives away. The desire for riches
is strong and most universal. Get money.
as life without it is not worth living, is
the predominant idea nowadays ANY
sacrifice is not too great for ii. and it is
this inordinate desire for riches that
causes countless failures and no end of
misery, woe and suffering.
