Living For An idea

foolishness of preaching" y
as st. Paul characterizes it
Here is u man moved by
considerations that most o.
us do not feel, and TO whom
most of our daily anxieties
and struggles do not appeal.
A high place in the com
munity, office, power except
to serve his cause, and
money-these things weigh
as little with him as may
be. With his natural energy,
he might OF been wealthy had
he not willfully excluded
everything chat would take
his time from the advance
ment of the Great Idea. And
now, with his life hall done
and his best years passing,
he is so little concerned to
follow the advice of the Sage
OF Avon, "Put money in they
purse" as amounts almost
to a sin in the eyes OF those
who are more practical.
Many a reader of this para
graph will in hisorh her heart,
perhaps unconsciously, con-
dem such % waste of a life,
"for the preaching of the
cross is to them that perish
foolishness."
But history, SO far as we
know it, is simply a record
of the work Of those who
lived for ideas, and who
wrought out these ideas,
other people not being worth
while. For putting in a
lifetime ut money-getting,
money-spending, wearing
clothes, playing politics,
scientific research, or "the
ioolishness of preaching" is,
after all, living for an idea,
sordid or ennobling Us it
may be. And we also have
the nimless, who are always
the shiftless and the hope
less, these the direlicts in
in this shoreless sea of Time.
The man who lives for an
idea gets somewhither in
proportion as he devotes
himself TO it. And he has
always that highest satisfac-
ton of doing his best in
what appears to him most
worth while, and the COM
fortiug hope of growing up
to his Reward.
Oi these, truly may it be
said, in the words of Lamp

America has double responsibility.
Its Red Cross is twofold-civil and
military; both alike legitimate, both
of the same origin, imposing the same
duties. A few years ago the war vic
tins of Manila were pouring into San
Francisco in thousands, wounded, sick,
poor and friendless. The Red Cross Of
California received every one, nursed.
fed and helped them on.~. This was
Red Cross war relief. At the same
time the elements had devastated q
great seaboard city, literally sweeping
it into the ocean, drowned 10000 Of its
people and left 10000 homeless. ruined
and desolate. The Red Cross entered
there and by request took charge of
its relief. working for months among
the distressed victims. distributing the
charities of the people, Drawing an at
mosphere reasly fatal to health and
life. and only left when the survivors
could help themselves. This was civil
Red Cross relief-the same organiza-
ton, the same officers, the same 30
ciety, the same work. Again, when
San Francisco had been destroyed by
earthquake and fire, the Red Cross
helped to bear relief to it.
Misfortunes are for all. The Red
Cross applies to every individual With
in our borders.

why Farmers Grow Old Early.

Anyone who has lived on farm

for he knows of the strain under
which the American farmer lives dur
ing the five months of spring and
summer, says Woody Hutchinson, M.

Say is from four or five in the morning
until eight or nine at night, including
chores-15 to II hours of the hardest
kind of physical labor, and every min
ute Of it at high tension, especially
during harvest. Then comes a period
of relaxation in the fall. the one time
in the year when he has just enough
muscular exercise to keep him In
health. Later, the winter season, ap-

takes on flesh, gets ''logg," and then a
furious debauch of hard labor through
the spring and summer again. No

muscular strain the fact that the far

To return to the national societies.
Strengthened by the convention Of
1864, and the protection of the treaty,
no time was lost by them. In 1866
Austria, Italy and Germany afforded
opportunity for trial. The hard field
of Sadowa testified as to their need.
Italy and Germany were in the treaty;
Austria was not.
That made no difference In the
treatment of Austria's wounded. Par

In 1870 under Napoleon III. France
marched to its eastern borders, while
Germany watched the Rhine. Both
were leading Red Cross nations. The
German Red Cross, like its army, was
ready. It's central committee received
and applied si0.0O0,000 as an aid to
the medical department of the army.
The Red Cross of France like its
army, was not ready, and yer its alac-

France raised and equipped IL NOV
