yacht, which goes everywhere and any

points, doing their work regularly.
Prof. Mitchell Carroll said that every
young man desires to live. not merely to ex-
lst. He seeks companionshps in obedience
to his social instincts, which demand larger
contact with life. 1t is essential, however.
that the young man should have the correct
idea OF what is life

sponsiveness to environment. The eye pos
sesses life when it responds TO the other
waves that strike upon 1t, and conveys the
Impression 20 the brain; the ear when the
sound waves properly affect It; the hand
| when 1t answers to the dictates of the mind.
When eye or ear or hand ceases to respond
there they cease to live, they are virtually
dead. Now the individual is encompassed
by an environment full OF forces which arc
continually affecting him, and his respon-
siveness to these forces is the measure OF
his life. These forces may be classed in
ascending order as physical, social intel
lectual, moral and spiritual. Narrowness
largeness of life is in proportion to the In
dividuals capacity of responsiveness to
these impressions. If merely the physical
forces appeal to him. as matters of drinking
and eating, the qualification of the appe-
tiles or passions, his life is but little above
that of the animal If social relations at
tract him, If he responds to friendship ana
love. he has risen still higher in the scale
of living. If his intellectual faculties have
been cultivated. that he has healthy in
terest in the events OF the days. in books
and art and music. his life is still broader
and fuller. If his moral nature has devel-
oped so that he is interested in problems OF
right living, Is student of the relations
OF man TO man, he has still broader compre-
hension of life. Moral convictions are more
essential to fullness OF life than rational
judgments. and If he responds to the i'm
pulses OF the spiritual nature. IL lac finds
delight in the good, the true and the beauti-
full, he has attained to the highest life of all,
In fact, one that embraces the best forms
of life in the classes that have preceded. IL
a man is responsive to the things of the
spirit. he lives the largest. the fullest, the
most abundant life possible. He tastes tho
depths of life's sorrows he reaches the
height of life's joys, he has appreciation OF
lifes problems, and enters into lifes saus-
faction in the best and truest sense
Christian Principle.
This line of thought brings up the ques-
tion. what then is the dynamic of life that
unifying force which, when 1t enters into a
mans soul, leads him into the largest and
truest life-ennobling the Senses purifying
the social impulses, stirring the intellectual
faculties, quickening the moral sensib!lities,
awakening the spiritual nature? My an
swer is that the dynamic of life is the
Christian principle
Hence young men, II you desire to get
the most out of life, If you want TO live
genuinely. largely, abundantiy, let me urge
you to form an alliance with the man or
Nazareth He, of all men, was most respon-
sive to the life of his day. He tasted the
richest draughts of its joys, he drained the
bitterest dregs of its sorrows. he appre-
hended its social problems. He knew what

hid from him, and IL his spirit enters into
your spirit you will find that the Christian
principle opens up your soul to an appre-
citation of all that is involved In the stirring
life of humanity, socially intellectually
morally, spiritually. The personality OF
Jesus will transfuse your personality, and
prepare you to live well your life in the
life of the world
