Otthe many phases that are
to attract human thought
and ingenuity, the greatest,
or the only one, is life. As liv,
ing should be our ccntra.
theme. our uppermost thou't.
we take for our subject. 1T
lsn't All Of Life to Live"
Our success, our prestage.
our happiness and our all
hinge upon what We think
life is. Corruption and 'dpgra.
dation, misery and dissipa-
tion often reign, because We
have II misconception OF life.
Evil eminates and triumphs
for the simple reason that
man errs from the bassic prin
ciples which should govern
human action. 1t is not our

which makes a discreet use of
every. God-given faculty.
What are the general views
of Llfe? Roughly speaking
there are three. There are
some who have no higher
conception Of life than a mere
gross, animal existence. Per-
SONS with this view make up
the dangerous mobs that do
many rash deeds in a mo-
ment OF passion. These mobs
are ensla we'd by appetite, held
in sutjectlon by terror, sway.
cd by the teaming waves OF
evil. and governed by pas
sion rather than by reason.
Christian civilization is held
in check by the constant ac-
tivity OF such characters as
these are.
There are others who have

are too selfish to practice
what is righteous. / he | r

And again the idea ia ad.
yanced that to die naturally
ia just beginning to live. This
life ia short and transItory,
hence, at most, we ecannot do
much; but, however, IL We 80
will 1t. we can live on. Do
you want to live on? II 30,
leave a character that shall
live forever. A man who takes
his whole life into the grave
with him is. surely, insignii-
cant. Would you be content
for J our life to be such? We
could never. Sometimes we
think that NO man is truly
great until he is laid in the
grave. There the prejudice,
the envy and the hatred OF
this world cease, and the re.
al ideals of the man are un-
yelled. Then we do not look
at his faults but his merits.
You may review the past,
even back into the dim pa
ges of history, the works and
the character Of the heroes
have meyer been fully UNDER
stood and appreciated. until
they are laid to rest. When
they are sleeping the last
sweet sleep, We are eyer rea-
dy to pay them homage
Why ia it that these heroic
characters appeal to us? 1t
is beca use their career emf
ma tes from the soul. the foun
tain head of our true selves,
and brings In harmony every
other soul with It. T he
worlds heroes. the nations
heroes, though dead are still
living. Their sublime careers
afe with us every wakeiul
hour to cheer and to admon
ish our lives in oeperity
and in adversely. A nation, q
people develop, grow and ex-
pand as long as they wor>
ship their heroes. We ought
over to keep the shining light
of our national figures lbe-
fore the y O U ng, graspinR
minds Of the coming genera.
tiOn.
Let me say In conclusion
that We have discussed what
life is, and that the views OF
life are the sensual, the sell
fish and the benevolent. Still
further We measure life by
services that are administers
ed first to individual per-
sons, second to the State.
third to our Creator. Lastly
we advanced the idea that
to die naturally is Just begin
ming to live the greater life.
May We live as we ought, for
it "is as the shining i-g b t
that shineth more and more
unto the perfect day."

Moreover, We must not have

are We to use or measure life?

Is it to be computed by o.

what are services? A moral

thing that finds q Iodgment

but the pleasure Of serving

Though the years re tire
swiftly the sweetness OF serv
