Every age is marked by eerta
signs which indicates to the thinking
mind that which is nest important for
the individual The present age Is
marked with the spirit of adventure
AMI discovery. We mean by the
nres emit age. the last few centuries.
This age is a distinctive age OF al
venture and discovery, begun about
the time OF the discovery of this coun'
try. and no part of this age OF adytn-
tnra and discovery is more market
than the present. 1t is seen In all
lines of business and among
classes. 1t is well for US to note the
fact that these signs indicate the trend
OF events. The careful student OF our
times will profit by right understand
ing of these things,

spirit OF investigation There is time

everything you tell him. but when he
reaches the age OF adventure and dis
coyery. he also begins to investigate.
Now these are danger points in the
life OF the child and the nations as
we'll
investigation in itself is good
thing. but in making investigations,
opens the way for doubt and criticism,
We have no fear of investigation, if
the motive be good. The final out
come of Investigations will be bene-
diclion to the world of mankind, but
the individual here and then may be
led astray. IF we would reach the
bes. results from our investigation
We must be led by competent teach
Iers.
Third. Our age is also marked by
the spirit of human liberty Every

ger line in that life, so this mark Of
human liberty is a danger point and

love of liberty tends to iuiide.ity 10

Fourth our time is marked By
scientific relations The growth q

else with which We come IN contact
Science also marks our times with
its index fingers. showing us that We
are on the imperial highway TO the
living truth. II Is only the careless

OF destruction. The wise will take
note Of the warning and profit
