The measure of the worlds
progress is the increased social
unity. Our children do not yet
understand these things; for they
are simply learning the facts dis
covered in previous ages and
years, and in our children we
see mirrored the faults and frail-
ties Of earlier ages of mankind
selfishness, quarrelsomeness, in
tense desire to possess to The ex-
clusion of others. But when we
become men we must put away
childish things and look upon all
subjects in a broader, grander
way than is possible to undevel-
oped minds. The point of view
that overtops all others is the
social one, or the relation of hu-
man beings to each other. The
highest proof of wisdom is social
service.
1t is perfectly we'll understood,
of course, that the labor of a
mans hands must have, at the
very outset, an interested mot
i've. He must find food for him
self, he must find clothing, he
must put up q shelter. That is
animal instinct of self-preserva-
ton, and it is a factor in explain
ing much of the activity in the
world. But conceding that much
to our physical necessities, which
we have to do SO long as the

What profit is it if we conquer
the whole world of knowledge
and neglect our fellows p? There
is justification for every kind of
research, even when it stretches
to the distant stars to weigh

ponent parts, provided the seek

do not know how a man can
prove more truly his possessions
of a soul than by this very ele-
ment OF thinking and striving
for others. There is no gain in
knowledge that is boarded up,
any more than there is profit in
wealth that is buried in the
ground or hidden away. The
man who lives to himself lives
not at all as a man should live.
He is the narrowest kind of sell
fish existence. The man who
worships knowledge in any di-
rection, just because'of what it is
TO do for him, has not yet seen
knowledge in her true benign
glory. The man who reveren-
ces q religious ideal, just because
of what 1t shall bring him to and
what it shall save him from.
without considering the interests
of others, has never yet known
Faith in its true breadth. We do
not live alone, we do not die
alone, we cannot think or gain
alone, and the measure of the
greatest mans greatness con
sists only in knowing the things
that he did for others, the facts
that he wrested from nature and
gave away, and the hopes that
he aroused after learning to hope
in Truth himself.

We need have no fear of the
world knowing too much; for in
dividual knowledge is retained
in the world only a few years.
We need have no fear of our own
knowledge being too great, for
the same great power that plac-
ed within man a restless impulse,
commanding him to advance
from ignorant conditions to wis
err ones, is the same great power
that has placed before this add
vancing man a universe whose
details become only the greater
and the wider the further he
goes. Each day sees knowledge
more specialization each branch
Of knowledge contains in itself
so many rewards for special at
tention that, without devotion to
one line of research, very little
absolute knowledge can be gain
ed. This thrilling desire within
to advance, and ever advance,
and still again to advance, is the
marvellous gulf that separates us
the lower creatures; yet in
vi sincerity we must realize our
own individual frailty, and the
temporary character of our stay
lere, and learn the true humility
hat ever belongs to those of
,iant mind.

II seems to us that one of the
most attractive occupations,
when we have time for it, is to
puzzle over the purpose of things
for instance, why different in
sects exist here, different trees.
and SO on through the entire list
of things that live and move and
have their being, or of things in
sensate, like the rocks and the
seas. AS we dip deeper into the
subject, we shall be surprised to
find perhaps that things whose
purpose seem opposed to our
best interests have in themselves
and their work perfect justifca.
ton for being. Even offensive
things can be found to serve
good purpose in the wonderful
completeness and economy of ma
ture. In fact, we do well by ex-
claiming Behold all things are
good" and then holding up to
that idea and seeking for the
goodness in all things, no matter
if now and then and here and
there they seem to run counter
to our own idea of that which is
best for ourselves.
This looking for good in every
thing is a pleasing occupation,
for, with the exception of man,
all things seem to work out their
purpose even though they live
in blind obedience to a greater
power than themselves--the laws
of nature. We human beings,
with our moral and reflective
powers, can puzzle over the rea-
sons for our being here. Nc 9TH
er creature shows any evidence
of possessing such a power, and
therefore, they, all of them,
simply do as they are bid by ma
ture. Man, the greatest of them
all by the light given to him, can
become the least of them all by
his capacity for disregarding the
light and living contrary to the
laws of nature.

Something happened one day In
James Russell Lowelrs Office which
suggested the following: There was q
time when the fastest sailing ships In
the world were built in the shipyards
of New England. About that time an
American clipper and an English yacht
were entering the harbor of Genoa to-
gether, and there was a race between
the clipper and the yacht, and the clip
per won In the race. When the two
vessels were in port the owner OF the
English yacht, a person Of polished
manners, came on board the American
and very handsomely congratulated the
captain OF the clipper upon his achieve
ment, which he said was all the more
remarkable In view of the fact that II
was the first time that his yacht had
ever been beaten. The liberal minded
old Yankee captain replied: "Well,
now, that's curious. It's the first time
the Polly Ann ever beat anything"
