We can trace the wisdom Of God
through each one Of us and through

Growth as Life's Glory.
The glory of life is growth Growth

England was first Il twig that was idly
thrust into the earth, and under the
awakening influence Of moisture and
sunshine grew to monarch. The

Dignity In Homework.
The mad rush Of girls to office and
factory and store must he checked. If
domestic service was slavery they
would be wise in avoiding it, but it is
not. They are as free to leave it as
they are any other kind of employment
and, on the whole. are more kindly
treated in 1t. Domestic service is stay

and give it the status OF a profession,

Safest Rule For n Long Life.
We have heard more in these later
days about how to live long lives than
in ally previous period OF the worlds
history. We are told what to eat and
what not to eat. to keep our windows
open at night and to take long walks
and never TO worry even If we cannot
pay our bills The idea is to let the
other man do the worrying and have
the short life. But the most ancient
rule for the long life seems to have
been forgotten. God said to Moses to
say to the children that il they would

dence in the promised land they must
honor the father and the mother The
promise included long life to the indi-
vidual and long life 10 the nation. He
who honors father and mother is fol
lowing the safest rule for a long and
useful life and is doing more than ora
tors in establishing the stability of the
nation Of which he is Il part-Rev. w.

Destre For Eternal Life.
There is no greater desire I'm the hu-
man heart than the desire for eternal
life. While this longing is not ALWAYS
the most marked IN the lives of men. il
being hidden by earthly desires it is
nevertheless the one great universal
passion Of the human heart. When
every man comes to stand by the side
or the great divide and there longinrly
looks back over his life and trembling
~ looks into the future. the thought
uppermost in his mind Is then of an
eternal existence. here at the prava
