The Life That Counts.

The life that counts is life on a high
level, yet full of helpful healing sympathy
for all life on its lowest levels. It is the
first debt which we owe to our fellow men
in this age. The man who has faith ac-
cepts the uncertainty Of life as the conse-
quence of it's larger significance; he cam
not interpret it, because It means SO much:
hc-cannoL trace It's lines through to tho
end, because it has no end; it runs into
Gods eternity. Something better is COM
ing out of it than worldly fame or wealth
or power. He is not making himself. God
is making him, and that after model
which eye hath not SEEN He can toll
away at his work, not knowing whether
he is to see its results now or not, but
knowing that God will not let it be
wasted. There is satisfaction in being
appreciated, in feeling that others ac-
knowledge our worth or our power, and
in gaining that praise from the world that
is food to so many of us. But the man
or woman whose lives are not on the high
est plane are those who take up their bur-
dens. without finching, or without pros
pect of reward, who do not look for the
plaudits of pit and gallery; are uncon-
cerned as to the audience so long as they
play their part well, and in faith and
patience, live the life where they belong
even though their heavens fa1l.-Annie L.
