There is a time for all things
Ia. tirle to turn to the psalms and
read that Man is Of fey days
and full Of trouble'-a time to
ask why>dp we come into the

But
There is no time,to talk about
"the emptiness Of life and
mourn oyer it's puzzle
Cheer up.
Life has it's purpose and its
meaning and its fullness We
come into the WORLD for some
thing and we go ont for some
thing.
Why question the purpose OF a
mans life more than the purpose
of a trees life? Or a flowers!
The flower must bud. The tree
must bear fruit. And so man
bear both fruit and flower.
The tree and plant stay IN
their places and do the will OF
nature. Why should you com
plain Of your place and ask to
be transplanted?
If your life IS empty you have
made it SO. Fill it up. Fill il
up to the brial!
As YOU caunot by thought add
to your statue, neither can YOU
by complainings change condi-
tions.
Life may be full Of zest. You
may pot always come the prlm-
rose way. But 90 not be Of g
spllen heart. April comes as
we'll as dim December.
Show your fellows a glorious

There are no Self Made
Men.

Men.
We hear much from time to
slime about self made men, al
though the term has no mean-
ing. a mar must posses the
natural ability to accomplish
things Or he will never make
much Of anything. No one can
make rnuch Of himself without
capacity to preceive ends to be
gained and to know something
of what he needs in order to the
gaining Of those .eends. Pereelv-
ing these things, he makes intelli-
gent e$orts to acquire or develop
the knowledge and the powers
he needs in order to gain the
ends which he perceives.
But because this is SO plain it
is also plain that self making is
not altogether q fallacy. It is
as true that q man can make
himself as that teacher OF school
can make him. Strictly speak
ing, no man is made either by
himself or by teaching. He is
made by his Creator and develop
ed by his own efforts, aided more
or less by others and by environ
.1nent or opportunity.
Theexpression "selfrnade man"
is forcible and useful. It is not
to be secuted as fallacy because
it is not exact. Many cypress
ions convey in few words ideas
which, strictly speaking they do
not express. Common sense"
for example. We use that ex-
preston to signify something
which is by no means common.
What we call common sense
and what we all more or less
clearly understand by it IS Yery
uncommon. But We are not to
find fault with the expression on
that account,
What we mean by it is ability
to form sound judgments with
out stopping to analytic scien-
ti6callv all the processes by
which they are reached. It in
volves much knowledge Of the
subjects to which it is applied.
1t is common only as distinguish
ed from exact scientific process
es of the mind.
By self made man. we mean
a man who has achieved success
in some direction without haN.-
ing enjoyed the advantages Ct
much schooling or much educa-
tion in the ordinary sense Of TIE
word. The expression has a
well understood meaning and is
not to be condemnee because it
IS not scientifically exact.
Probably the word will alway S
have self made men WHO will
succeed greatly without much
schooling. Nevertheless, it is
true that the advancement in tie
practical applications Of science
renders through aud systematic
instruction and training more
and more necessary to the highest
success. Superior Telegram.
