The inspiration Of Purnose.

Purpose gives new meaning to life, 1t
shows the only real reason for living
is living for something. It is the asser-
tion Of our kiHgship over conditions, our
mastery over Self, our glory in fighting
fer the right at close range and fighting
to the end Purpose makes man cru-
sader, gloryinq in his effort to attain the
cross OF some high ideal where the in
spiration and glow Of the struggle are
greater than the mere crown of victory.
Purpose makes man his own second
creator and by it be can make himself
what he win. He can choose his own
realm; he can live contentedly in the
mud Of low desires like lizard or sweep
boldly high in the pure bracing air Of
noble ideals like an eagle rightfully
claiming the na0untain tops as its own
Purpose transforms the cOmmonplaces or
life; it strengthens the mind to meet
obstacles and to be undaunted BY them
as a hardy swimmer glories IN the battle
with waves and opposing currents Pur-
pose gives man ever new progressive re-
lafions Of his possibilities II means con-
seeration, living at our best for the sake
of what is best; ii means dedicating SELF
u HVuiStHiAlS H4AAut budu 51i4s AAi VI WuE
purpose must in the ultimate analysis
be unselash. 1t can never find it's final
ity in mere acquisition for self. This
may be ambition but not high purpose.
Purpose at its best must be above and
beyond us like the polar star that guides
and inspires the compass Of the mariner
The world needs, more than talent, geni
us, wealth, or power, men Of mighty pur-
pose, men consecrated to daily living IN
the inspiring illumination Of an ideal;
men who make each day count directly
for something real, who face each days
sunset with new harvests Of good for
those around them and for che world
The great thing in life is not in realiz-
ing purpose, but ia fighting for IL. If
we feel the possibilities Of a great work
looming up large before us and impelling
us TO action It IL our duty to consecrate
ourselves to it. Failure IN a great work
Is nobler than success in a petty one that
is beneath ouf maximum of possibility
We have nothing to do with results;
they do not belong to US anyway Il
Is cur duty to do cur best hraveIy and
rest in the sweet comfort Of this fact

ties. For that reason. he says he
never dissents unless he is eonyinc-
ed that the court is wrong on prin-
ciples.
First. he holds that only eonpen-
satory damages could be claimed,
since it was not charged that the
accident was clue to wantonness or
wilfulness. He does not agree that
the passenger should have been alb
solved from the duty to stop, look
or listen. He thinks that, all
though he had right to expect, as
matter of assumption, that an APP
preaching train would not exceed a
rate of speed of six miles per hour.
in the face of testimony showing
that he had been warned of its ap-
proach, the assumption should have
given way to the facts as they
actually existed.
The law of assumption does not
absolutely relieve the plaintiff Of
his natural sense of sight and hear
ing, when the facts to the contrary
of the assumption are before him.
The case was one which occupied
the attention of the judges for
several weeks. during which time.
the judges went thoroughly into
numerous authorities. but were
never able to agree on the result.
