we begin to die. Our earthly career
is as one brief day. 1t is now

even granite itself decays and
falls to mother earth.
Not only death and dissolution
are apparent, but each day death,
stupor inertia in our lives must
be hunted out and chased away
before we can accomplish the
task we set out to do.
In the spiritual realm, there is
no exception to this rule. It is
no easy task to always do right
or to be invariably true to our
highest ideal. It is a beautiful
theory but such wisdom is only
for the truly consecrated, refined
souls of earth. He is hero who
really serves God and humanity
In truth, as we who have tried it
4O-3O-20-10 years, can testify.
The ultimate object of the
labor of our lives should be the
saving of souls, but the minds
and bodies should not be neglect

Individual attention to ones

seldom realize the Importance of
our personal influence over the
