Hazing Measure Is Killed.

Whit is hazing? That was asked in
the meeting Of the judiciary commit
tee OF the, senate when the Greeley bill
passed by lawyers wrinkled their
brows. laid forefnger against the
cheek and PACED the indexes of their
codes. They found several sections of
the penal code which could be invoked
to punish hazers. # the authorities
saw fit. There is statute against
making any person do thing against
his will. a statute against assault and
battery, against assault with all kinds
OF fntents. So the senators moved to
decapitate the hazing bill and its head
fell in the basket without a mourner
to shed tear.

come upon an Italian woman emerging
from the big bakery on the corner,
bearing a great load of bread-does
she cater to the family of padrone,

with no aping of physical disability. no

at her apparel. Plainly hers is an un-

are made for use, neither voluminous
nor complex. Her shawl is warm, her

ual; to come Himself, in His own
personality, unto Cod: God is a
Spirit, and they that worship Him
must worship Him in spirit and in
truth" Again, when His disciples
had been quarreling among them
selves as to who should be the great
est, once more He had an opportunity
to express Himself, not only to teach,
but to live out, His thought. He
girded Himself with a towel and
washed their feet, and said: Let
him who would be great among you
be your servant" What high joy
He must have had as He not only
revealed His word, but by His action,
for all time-for the generations yet
unborn-taught the truth of the dig
nifty of service; and if to-day the
world is moving toward a wider
brotherhood, if we are thinking not
so much of ourselves and more of
our neighbors, it is because He per-
formed that lowly service. He had
been talking, also, about faith; that
God vas their Father and that He
would never desert those who put
their faith in Him. In the hour of
awful blackness, of excruciating
physical and mental agony, His
faith rose triumphant. All, there
was the supreme triumph of His
faith. Not in the words He had
spoken, but in the life He lived and
in the way in which He met the
awful tragedy and in the glorious
elimination of His earthly life.
The practical application Of all
this is not difficult. All men have
some sense of destiny, some con-
seriousness of a call, some feeling
with respect to conduct. Every man
has moments Of Godlike aspirations.
Surely, there come to us in mo-
ments of high, spiritual endowment,
when the soul knows what it ought
to do for its triumph or undoing,
and mans time shall come when he
is true to the revelation of truth
that is in him, when he expresses in
his speech and life the convictions
that have grown in moments of SUI
preme inspiration and insight. The
mighty men of the world are the men
who have been able to do this. There
was Paul and Martin Luther and
John Wesley and Abraham Lincoln.
God pours into some men more than
NE Is dDlS W pour luIO OIuSIS, De-
cause they are able to receive more.
While it is true that we cannot all
be geniuses and giants, it is also true
that every man may live his COM
plete, full-orbed life. He may feel
first that he has come from God;
that his destiny is to return to God,
and his business is to breathe in the
teaching and love and spirit OF the
infinite Father, and day by day be
true to the beautiful, pure and noble
suggestions that God will breathe
into him. If a man will do this
there is no question of his influence
The history of Jesus is proof posi-
tive on the point. He lived His life
truly and loyalty, and His world,
which is the universe, swings around
in obedience to His truth. All,
friends, if we will be IS loyal in our
place and limited sphere, the world
will be lifted up by US just as
Christ's life-world was lifted by
Him. 1t is in this sense that we are
to follow Him and recognize that He
is our example day by day as we go
forth to the work and duty CT our
life.

The Only Safe Attitude.

I remember some years ago climb
ing the Weisshorn above Zermatt Val
ley with two guides. There had been a
series of severe storms and ours was
the first ascent for some weeks. coDsG-
quently we had a great deal of STEP
cutting to do up the main arete. We
had left the cabin at = in the morning.
and it was nearly 8 before we reached
the summit, which consisted, as did so
many peaks in the Alps. of splintered
rocks %prOtruding from the snow. My
leading guide stood aside to let me be
first on top. And l, with the long labor
of the climb over and eXhilarated by
the thought of the great view awaiting
me. but forgetful of the high gale that
was blowing ON the other side of the
rocks, sprang eagerly up them and
stood erect TO see the view. The guide
pulled me down. "On your knees, sir.
You are not safe there except on your
knees"
My young friends, God lifts US all to
SUBMITS in life; high, splendid, peril
Gus. But these are nowhere more
splendid or more perilous than in our
youth: SUBMITS of knowledge, of
friendship, of love, of success, declares
George Adam Smith. Let US. as we
value our moral health. the growth of
our character and of our fitness for
Gods service, use every one of them
as an altar on which to devote our
selves once more tc His will.
