The many cults that have sprung up in re-

mind has power to preserve, proong and re-

have. in the main, been those who attained
great mental and moral development, who
have lived in that higher life beyond the petty
friction and discord that inpairs and weakens
most lives. He who is contented and cheerful,
who has an exercised, well kept body, and lives
a Christian life will in all probability carry
youth and usefulness with him far past the
