The Inspiration of Purpose

Purpose gives new meaning to life
1t shows, the only real reason for
living is living for something. It Is
the assertion of our kingship over con
ditions, our mastery over self. our
glory in fighting for the right at
close range and fighting to the end.
Purpose makes man crusader, glory
ing in his effort to attain the cross
OF some high ideal where the in
spiration and glow of the struggle are
greater than them ere crown Of vic
tory.
Purpose makes man his own sec
ond creator and by it he can make
himself what he will. He can choose
mis- own realm, he can live contented-
ly 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 noun
tain tops as its own. Purpose trans
forms the commonplaces of life; It
