The WELL ROUNDED LIFE
THE Y.M.C.A. SUBJECT
The Address OF Professor Jones at
Yesterdays Weekly Meeting.

The Y. VI. c. \. meeting yesterday
was largely attended and the service
was one of unusual interest. After
an enjoyable song service conducted
by Mr.. Evans. Mr.. r. A. Spaulding
read the scripture lesson. the first
thirty-one verses of the first chapter
Of the Gospel according to Mark. The
general secretary. Mr.. Hayes. who
presided, then expressed the pleasure
it gave him to see so many present
and asked the prayers, sympathy and
cooperation Of all Mr.. Hayes said
that next year he hoped to see the
majority Of the young men Of this city
interested in Bible study in classes or
ganized i'm the Y. NJ. G. \. Comment
ing on the scripture lesson, Mr.. Hayes
set forth clearly ten different points
Of the lesson, all proving that Christ
was the Messiah.
Mr. G. W. Foreman favored the au-
dience with two vocal selections which
were greatly enjoyed. The secretary
then introduced Professor Jones of the
high school faculty. who spoke on "A
Well Poised Life" saying that in
stead Of painting a word picture of an
ideal life, a well balanced life. he
would present the subject from the
negative side. He said, We often hear
the expression. Hes a crank mean
ing that the person is narrow, not
well rounded character. We have not
enough interests" The following poem
was then quoted by Mr.. Jones:
''To the preacher, life's a sermon;
To the Joker life's a lest:
To the miser. life is money;
To the loafer, life is rest;
To the lawyer, LIES a trial;
Arizona republican., 1907-12-30

To the poet. life's a song.
To the doctor. LIES a patient
That needs treatment right along;
To the soldier LIES a battle:
To the teacher. lifc's a school.
Iife's a good thing to the CRATER;
Lies a failure to the fool;
To the man upon the engine.
LIES a long and heavy grade;
It's gamble TO the gambler;
To the merchant. life's a trade;
LIES a picture To the artist:
To the rascal life's a fraud:
Life perhaps is but a burden
To the man beneath the nod
Life is lovely To- the lover;
To the player. life's a play
Life may be load Of trouble
TO the man upon the dray.
Life is but a long vacation
To the man VINO loves his work;
Lies an everlasting effort
To shun duty To the shirk
To the hero's blest romancer,
Lies a story ever new.
Life is what we try TO make it
Brother. what is life to yoI2
The speaker said we are all con-
fined by our special interests which
determine our view points; ones
viewpoint determines ones conduct
and the conduct determines ones
character. He explained the i'll ef-
fects of developing the physical side
at the expense of the moral and in
tellectual, and also Of developing the
intellect at the expense Of the physi-
cal being and the advantage of a
proper development of the aesthetic
and social qualities. The social needs
Of the young, the speaker thought, are
not sufficiently recognized by the
church, and the gang" spirit should
not be broken up but directed. The
difference between pleasure and hap
piness was pointed out to the young
men. Drinking may give pleasure at
the time, but never happiness.
Mr.. Jones urged his hearers to avoid
the dividing line in matters of con-
ductLto stay a goodly distance on the
right side. to avoid compromises. say
ing that actions are what determine
character. He pointed to the life of
Christ as a model. well poised life and
the teachings of the Master reprOduc-
ed in our lives will develop into use
full. well-rounded characters.

Of Believille, ILL.,, says that the rail.
road prospect is bright, and the PEG.
pie all along the line except at Mexico
are ready with their part Of the right
of.way.
1t will only be a very short-time I'm.
til the power house location is selected
and ! have been solicited to recommend
a site and will send in a recommendation
to head quarters.
In East St. Louis In about
three weeks, the machine shops and
storage yards will also loon be located
and IL is about time the people Of
Mexico are doing something.
The people Of Santa Fe's are making
a strong pull for the power house. Mr..
Bailey of Santa Fe most popular
merchants will call on Mr.. Robson at
Belleville this week. The maps and
p~rofies are now ready and they show
an excellent grade Of the entire length
for the electric road.
The average grade is eject 5.inches
per mile or about one per cent grade.
The heaviest grade Of a single mile is
the irst mile north out OF Mexico.
This could be reduced 20 feet on this
mile by some changes. From Santa
Fe to Perry is an excellent grade
with two large bridges and from Mex
leo to Santa Fe four large bridges.
Mr.. Robson states that he will be
in Mexico between now and the first
of April and form the corporation and
get out the franchise and get ready
for construction as soon as possible.
He also urges that the Mexico com.
mittee to do their part and be ready.
With this start Mexico will soon be q
great electric railroad center for north.
east Missouri and no doubt would be
connected with st. Louis In a very
short time.

concerning the necessity of the Mexico
