Rev. Frank Fay Eddy Of the uni
tartan church preached yesterday
morning, on Life and Lent" and said
IN part:
1.-THE bringing Of Lent into a life
Is shown by three things. The first
Is the putting the right valuation on
the objects an interests of life. This
Is arriving at q point of view where
we subordinate the temporal things
to the eternal and spiritual. The
things that we are prone TO call tenn
poral are In the main those that are
for purchase by money. The spiritual
are the unpurchasable, the things that
are beyond any value that can be
named In the language of the mart.
When "A man II instinctively and
naturally faithful TO his word of hon
or. when he eXalts friendship is In.
ilexlbly loyal to his convictions, he
Is beginning to keep Lent in life. This
means living Righteousness and Is in
contrast TO merely performing right
ly.
The hope Of the future Is the dem
Ocracy, and the hope of democracy
Is In breeding race of men who are
capable of self-direction In more than
n pale negative way. The decline Of
III every lltiu IL pDslOu1.
IT must be 80. In a review of modern
literature | recently read great
critics estimate that all the great lead
ers of modern thought had been and
were anarchistic. That Is, he ex-
planned, they were in revolt toward
the accepted standards and sacred dog
mas of the past in religion. art and
literature.
MOVES IN STRAIGHT LINE,
Another witness from the conserva-
tive ranks is DR. Parkhurst who, IN
n recent magazine article, laments this
decline OF authority In both religious
and secular life and seems quite pes
sinistic of the future unless we can
get back to the old attitude of rev.
erence. But II is not to be. History
may apparently repeat herself some
times, but she never moves backward
to accomplish 1t. Our solution must
be realized as forward move. Fate
moves in a straight line, never on the
are of circle.
Moving forward, then, admitting
the decline OF authority what can re-
place 1t but n new type OF man cap
able of self-direct!on. Efficient and
trained, the man OF the future will be
an indlvidualist who moves as he does
and acts as he does. not because the
masses of his time do likewise, not
because there is thus saith the
Lord bidding him so 10 act, but be-
cause he discerns the ultimate laws
Of righteousness beneath all things,
because he wishes To Square his life
by the eternal verlties of Justice, Of
charity and by fidelity to the highest
demands Of life as II unfolds as
plan of God"

The young woman to whom Abbott
had given the diamond, set in an en-
gagement ring, eloped with another man
just two weeks before the day set for
her marriage to Abbott. Abbott hated
to lose the woman. but he hated still
more to lose the ring. AS soon as he

perfumed with sunny Italian smiles.
But when the Chicago mans carriage
was at the foot Of the toll-road l heard

francs. He said he had been hired by
him to walk along by the carriage,

lava, and make himself generally use

him-they were all guides and carriage

up five francs, and presented 1t to the
youth with the sunny smile.
