Empire State Express in. Foot bali.

The New York Centrars Empire State
Express is recognized as the swiftest and
surest train operated by Americas greatest
railroad, and considered the very best means
to cover the ground in the time required. II
is for this reason that the Harvard Uni.
versity football team named their best and
surestplay of the season of 1902 the Empire
State Express" for they believed it to be
the most reliable play in their programme.
1t was successful throughout the season
until it met Yale's "2Oth Century Limited -
play, which was just as swift, safe and sure,
but had longer endurance and was ''limited''
only by the size of the field. The names of
the rival teams very correctly describe the
difference in the famous trains, the Empire
State" running only from New York to
makes the $50 miles between New York and
Chicago in twenty hours every day of the
year. Great is the New York Central and
great are the trains it operates-swift, safe
and reliable.-FrOm the Brooklyn Standard

Commander Peary, the arctic explorer,
was talking to a small bunch of newspa--
per men at Saratoga not long ago and
they were asking him number, of ques-
tions about life in the extreme ATTITUDES,
of which he can talk most entertainingly.
Some one asked if he spoke the Eskimo
language, and he said he did: What's it
like" continued the questioner. For
instance, how would an Eskimo say Good
morning." "He wouldn't say it," replied
the commander, with a slight smile: In
deed, and are they so untutored in the
amenities of life?' Not at all, not at
all the explorer explained. 10y on see, in
a country where they would have occa-
sion to use those words only once year,
they don't have them."-Detroit Free

THERE are different types of young
| manhood, and should we ask which
one is the superior type, we would no
doubt receive variety of answers. Some
would reply the Apollo of physical per-
lection; others would esteem intellectu-
alism as the qualification which was to
determine; still others would declare
that business acumen which would en-
able a young man to become a Napoleon
of finance and industry was the trait
which would mark the superior type of
young manhood; while still others
would hold that ethical standards should
determine the question. But if we give
John the opportunity of answering the
question, he would point to the class of
young men to whom he was writing and
declare that there was the superior type
which was strong in the Lord and in
the power of His might. Two great facts.
yea three, must be kept in mind: That
man was created by God and created in
His own image, and man was created for
the Glory of God. The highest possibiI-
tiles of man must find their realization
then in and for God. The manhood which
reflects most perfectly the God in whose
image man has been created, and full
fills most fully the purpose of that
creation, must be the superior type of
manhood.

THE sculptor with his chiSel and mall
let, and the artist with his palette
and brush seek by their creative skill to
produce something which will give eX-
preston to an inward ideal and bring to
them glory, and honor, and fame. The
highest mission of the statue or the oil
painting would be to reveal the ideal of
the one who had created it. and by it's
perfect outline and coloring bring to him
glory. But suppose after the last chip
had been taken from the marble and the
last touch of the brush had been felt by
the canvas, that the statue or the figure
in the painting should willfully refuse
to express the ideal of its creator and
thus dishonor instead of clarifying the
one who had so patiently wrought upon
it? Suppose the bird which God has
made to fly should lay aside its buoyant
wings and with doWncast eyes content
itself with life which never rose above
the earth's green sod or the branches of
the low-spreading bush? The lofty out
look in yonder tall tree would never feel
the weight of the little songster, and the
blue vault of heaven would not echo with
the notes of his song. The highest and
best possibilities of the little bird would
not be realized. 1t is SO with man, and
especially the young man, for what the
young man is nearly always determines
what the character of the man in later
life is to be. 1t is only as the thing
created fulfills the mission of its crea-
ton that it can be said that it has real
lied its highest possibilities, Man has

been created in the image of God-that
is, he has been endowed with a spiritual
nature which can only find it's highest
possibilities and it's complete satisfac-
ton in God Himself. He was created
for God, and nothing but God can satisfy.
This being true, the highest, the superior,

how dare you do such a thing? 1 re-
member number of years ago when a
clever trickster made me believe that he
had ripped every button off my coat He
had not, but the movements of his hands
were so swift and he held my coat in
such manner as to make it look ex-
actly as though the buttons had been
pulled off. He made me believe a lie.
And Satan does that sort of thing, too.
He paints religion in Unattractive colors,
and deludes young men into the idea that
with it they are less manly, and less sue
cessful than without it. Do you think to
find the really strong young man outside

Christ? Let us see.

man when he first met Jesus by the banks
of the Jordan, and became His disciple.
His was a strong nature. He was
young man in whose character the cur
rents of life ran deeply. His affections
and sympathies absorbed his whole ma
ture. He was of quick perception and
understood his Lord better than any
other of His disciples. He realized the
mighty influence which Jesus had 'ex-
erted on his life; how from narrow Jew
ish prejudice he had been broadened in
his views to take in the whole world;
how, from low and selfish ideals having
their realization in this life only, he had
been inspired with the Hottest ideals
which found their eternal realization in
God, for he eXclaims in this letter from
which our text is taken: Beloved, now
are we the sons of God; and it doth not
yet appear what we shall be: but we
know that when He shall appear, we
shall be like Him; for we shall see Him
as He is He realized how when he
first met Jesus he was filled with great
ambitions for this life only, but Jesus
had turned this strong current GOdward
and had given him an ambition which
reached as high as God and which was
as broad as His eternal purposes. And
because he realized what a mighty
change and influence Jesus had wrought
in his life as a young man, he himself
was interested in young men. And
young men are always interesting.

FATHER and mother quicken at the
L thought, for their hope, their ambi-
ton, their pride and joy are centered in
the young man of their household.
Younger brothers and the sisters with
loyal devotion accord the young man the
place of recognized authority and leader
ship. The young man himself finds
within himself a fascinating object of
contemplation, as the buoyancy of life,
the expanding energies, the bounding
ambitions, the persistent hOpefulness are
felt throbbing within. And because of
this the young man is interested in young
men as he is in no others. In the great
wide world outside the home and outside
of himself the young man is always the
center of interest and expectation. The
business and industrial world turns to
the young men with assured confidence,
expecting that its burdens will be car
ried and it's problems worked out in the
main by them. The nations strength is
in hNe young men. She always turns to
them in the hour of danger and need.
She leans heavily upon them because
they are strong, and the honor and per-
manency of her government and insti-
buttons are measured by the character
of her young men. There is no place in
all the world where the human family
finds a home where the young man has
2ct- an exalted place and is not a sub
ject of interest and Importance.

Young men who are strong! Young
l men who have overcome, 1t takes
the strong young man to win the vic
tory over sin. 1t is the strong young
man who is the successful foe of the
wicked one. The superior type OF
young man must of necessity be tho
young man who wins victories. Why
boast of strength if victories are not
to be an Outgrowth of that strength :?
This arm of mine may rejoice in it's
strength, but if there is no weight to
be lifted, no burden to be carried, no
task TO be wrought out, the arm soon
shows the weakening effects of mac
ton, and so is no longer the strong arm,
but the weak, powerless member,
which is unable to serve me with eff
cheney and honor. 1t is a constant
warfare for the strong young man if
he would keep in fighting trim. The
devil is aggressive and active. The
soul cannot sleep at its post. 1t can
not be Indifferent to the advance of the
foe. David hasted and ran when the
giant Goliath advanced upon him, for
he knew that to hesitate or delay was
sending the stone crashing into the
forehead of the giant. Soon he would
have the visor of his helmet lowered
as he joined battle, and the only vul-
nerable point which David could reach
with his missile would be cut off.
\ IOTE that the indwelling Word is
Y the link which joins the strong
young man to the victory. 81 have
written unto you, young men, because
We are strong, and the Word of God
abideth in you, and ye have overcome
the wicked one" The indwelling
Word is the secret of strength. The
Psalmist asks: 'Wherewithal shall a
young man cleanse his way?" And
quickly answers his own question by
declaring: by taking heed thereto
according to Thy Word" THE Word
of God is quick and powerful, and
sharper than any o-edged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder
of soul and spirit, and of the joints and
marrow, and is discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart"
The young man Of the unclean heart is
in a condition of weakness. The ex-
pulsive power of Gods Word is needed
TO cleanse the heart, while that same
Word girds with strength and equips
for the battle. Jesus put Satan to
rout by His thrice-repeated: 1T is
written" The devil can stand I'M
and unscathed before the fire
of the guns of human word and human
effort, but let the thunderbolts of Gods
Word be turned upon him and he
makes hasty and ignominious flight.
And Satan must admit defeat before
the strong young man in whom is
abiding the Word of God. He is the
superior young man, for both in this
life and in the life to come ne is vic
torious, yea, he is more than conquer

searching testing of God. The strong
young man is the superior young man.

searching testing of God The strong
young man is the superior young man.
THE young man who is strong physic-
ally must have life, and health and
muscles, and these three conditions are
requisite to the superior type of young
manhood. These three qualifications are
possessed by the young men to whom our
text is addressed, and mark their vital
points of difference from the other types
of young men. Let us see if this is not
true. The non-Christian young man,
whatever else he may have, has not soul
life, has not soul health, has not soul
vigor. He may not be alive to his lack.
He may be Indifferent to his need. He
may doubt the reality of his souls need,
but our final refuge must be in Gods
word to prove mans condition as well
as his need, even as our final testing must
be at Gods hand. 1t is harder to make
young men realize the deafness of the
natural soul, because they are so full OF
physical life. Death seems vague and
unreal thing, and life is so full and prom
Using. But apart from God there is no
lasting life. The unsaved soul is dead
in trespasses and sins" The physical
life may be perfect, the natural qualifica-
lions and attachments may be of the
highest and best, but If the soul has not
been quiekened into life by the touch of
the crucified Lord, the physical body,
with it's intellectual and moral attain
ments, is but the sepulcher of dead soul.
Think of it, Hidden behind the smile of
the world, its pleasures, its ambitions,
lies the soul, cold and stiff in death!
Would you hope to find your superior
young man in one who was thoughtless-
ly or wilfully furnishing living tomb
for his poor dead soul?

A GAIN the superior young man is
~ the Christian whose soul is
healthy. One of the saddest of sights
is the weak, vacillating, half-hearted
Christian. The soul has been quick
ened into life by belief in Jesus Christ
as Saviour, and then it has turned to
the weak and beggarly elements of the
world to feed upon. Did you ever see
a healthy body which was deprived of
its proper food? Can you expect the
soul to remain in health that is
not fed upon its proper food? How
carefully the babe is nourished. How
important it is that the babes in
Christ should feed on the sincere milk
of Gods Word, and that the full-grown
Christians should be fed on the meat
of the deeper, fuller truths of Gods
Word. No wonder such reproach is
cast upon Christian manhood when
there are so many unhealthy Chris
tians to whom the world can point the
finger of scorn. Such were not the
young men to whom John was writing.
He was writing to strong young men
young men who belonged to Christ,
and who, by the strength of their
Christly virtues, stood out as the SUI
perior type of young manhood. Lif>
which has its source in Christ; health
which comes from the nOurishing of
the soul on God and His Word;
strength which comes from exercise
unto goodness; for bodily exercise
profiteth little; but goodness is profit
able unto all things, having promise of
the life that now is, and of that which
is to come"
