The Wickedness of Growing Old.
Here are the three deadly symptoms
Of old age: Selfishness. stagnation. in
tolerance.
If we find them in ourselves we may
know we are growing old, even if we
are on the merry side of thirty. But.
happily, we have three defenses, which
are invulnerable. If we use them we
shall die young if we live to be hun
dred. They are: Sympathy progress,
tolerance.
The first is the hardest to most Of
us, because our own little prison OF
the actual is SO immensely important to
us. There is no denying the fact that
when you have a toothache yourself it
is hard to have to consider other peo-
pies aches But it can be done, though
we must bestir ourselves and act. The
mere feeling Of sympathy expressed by
action is poor. useless thing, but the
soul, determined not to grow old, can
force the body to such physical effort.
though there is no denying that it is
hard work.-Harper's Bazaar.
