Real Purpose Of Life

ward aimlessly is the NEST inexcus-
able folly. To have around him all
the evidences of God-and never to
see them-to look upon a thousand
church spires that point to an eternal
life, and miss all their meanings. to
be in land of Bibles that reveals
Gods purposes for mans eternal des-
tiny and be ignorant of his own end
is indeed negligence which it is diff
ficult to comprehend. 1t is not death
but life that is before us, not earthly
life alone, but life thread running
unfortunately through the warp of eter-
nifty. Life is given us to be used
with a view to its eternal destiny. To
use it so as to give the soul room for
its unfolding capacities, to use it to
promote the highest good, to use it so
as to make the most of it, that is to
have before us a high and true ideal
and the greatest hope for any event
that can possibly follow If we but
work out our destiny according to the
divine purpose it cannot fail to be
eternal glory.

considered an objectionable breach Of
etiquette to refuse to partake. The
jam is followed by coffee, which is
served very black and strong, and is
half sugar. Strong, black cigars are
next produced, and everybody lights
up, including the hostess. 1t is a
shock to the occidental mind to see
young girls of is or 16 putting away at
long cigars, but every one smokes in

usually confine themselves to cigar
cites.
Many Of the callers bring their gui-
tars or mandolins,, and there is al
ways little music. Some of the con-
vent-bred girls are really excellent
performers on the harp or piano, but
pianos are always out of tune, owing
to the damp climate. Impromptu con-
certs are organized, and occasionally
there is skirt dancing, in which the

st. James asks: What is thy life?"
and his own answer to the question is:
"For we are vapor, that appeareth
for a little time, and then Vanisheth
away" The brevity of life has been
the subject of deep thought and OF
anxious solicitude in all ages of the
world The poet tells us: Our birth
is nothing but our death begun" 1t
is likened to a dream, a shadow, a
vapor, swift flying cloud, or the au-
tumn leaf Such is life! this life we
are living away; this life that will
SO soon be over; this life on whose
transient breath hangs everlasting
destiny.
But we fail to appreciate life's
meaning if we spend our time in sigh
ing over its brevity. Life is not mere
ly a vapor that presently vanisheth, it
Is a journey to fixed destination. We
are not only going, but we are going
somewhere; not into the depths of a
mystic solitude to be extinguished
and forgotten. Our destiny is not an

Entering the New Year

though he lived long, long ago, and
though he was but leader of a mob
of liberated slaves, can show us the
way. The captain of the Jewish host
sent forward the Ark of the Covenant
We, who are the children of the larger
hope, can do nothing better than to
send forward into the new year the
Cross of Christ. Why? Because only
by the power of the Cross can we
hope to pass successfully through the
trials and temptations and to over
come the kings of passion and selfish
ness which so surely lie waiting for
us in the next IL months.
1t must appeal to nearly every one,
this ending of an old year and the be-
ginning of new one. A man must be
dull indeed if it awakens no thoughts
of larger life, more consecrated
manhood, more devoted discipleship.
The past, let us remember, is dead;
the future is always alive. 1t holds
aloft in its strong right hand the
morning star of hope and whispers to
each child of man: 1T is never too
late to mend"
Let us face the new year with brave
hearts and better determinations, plac-
ing before us as we advance the Cross
of Christ, believing that in proportion
as we are loyal to this symbol shall we
have strength given us to endure hard
ness as good soldiers of the Master,
patience to suffer without giving way
to despair, sorrow and misfortune,
and spiritual courage, so that we can
come through every temptation tri-
umnhant and unafraid

Take up the ark of the covenant and
pass over.-Joshua, 3:6.
The long journey in the wilderness
Is over. The endless stretches of sand
will haunt the tired eyes of the pill
grims no longer Beyond the swiftly
gliding river lies Canaan, the Land of
Promise.
Joshua is born leader of men and
as such knows what they will do, if
appealed to in the right way The
River Jordan flows between the Prom
ised Land and his followers. 1t must
be crossed. With the same feeling
that afterward animated Douglas to
take from his breast the jeweled heart
Of the dead Bruce and fling it over the
heads of the advancing foe, shouting:
Flight, my men, for the heart of
hgious consciousness of a Jew, gives
the order to carry forward the Ark of
the Covenant No one of his follow
ers will dream of tagging behind when
he sees that sacred symbol in front.
And so, following in the footsteps of
the priests, the people, old and young,
cross the Jordan and enter upon a
new phase of their national life.
The parallel between our case, as we
stand on the threshold of a new year,
and the Jews on the eve of their en-
tering Canaan is so apparent that it
can be seen at once. AS the tired wan
derers from Egypt stood facing the
Promised Land, so do you and l stand
facing 1909.
How are we going to commence our
journey in the new year? Joshua.

ARIZONA PIONEER BACK ID SCOTLAND

William B. Gibson, one of the pioneer cattiemen in this country has disposed of his ranch and ex poets to return within a few days to Scotland where he will take up his permanent residence.
 Mir. Gibson came to Arizona in 1876. He acquired a ranch in the San Pedro country and has resided in that section for the past thirty three years.

 There is httle of the commonplace about the occurrences leading to the arrest of Martinez. When Gomez re turned from his work, he found his trousers had partly been burned. He ditson Of his trousers because when he left his room he had failed to take a roll of bills, aggregating $l15 from the pockets. However, he saw that only the legs" of the trousers were burned and so. he thought, his money was not damaged.
 But to his utter amazement the pocket did not contain his once fat wad-

 ''Oh, We have had a fire," he was told, "and your money was burned
 But the money was in my pock et." he argued. and you see for yourself the fire has not touched the pocket
 Four shoulders shrugged and fou, lips parted to the words of 'quien sabe" as Gomez looked accusingiy al Martinez and his near-bride.

 The circumstances were so damag ing against either Martinez or the woman, or both, that search war rant and a criminal complaint were issued.
