perverted the rule of living, until
today the average man is hard put
to make the means Of living. Work
is now the end of llfe-the necessity
of life and not the means. We have
no theories here. Many men, re-
formers, if you please, have tried to
find the answer to this complex con-
dition, and we have seen the new
cults and colonies of the simple life,
where the whole social fabric has
been ignored, but we have not yet
seen the great problem of humanity
answered. This is not the answer
but the reason for our wOrk-to-llve
system is due TO the fact that we
live too fast; we undertake too much,
too much that is not eSsentsai tc life,
out that is imposed by social custom.
The answer may be that in the days
to come-it may be after years Of
coil and suffering humanity will
wake up to the greater purpose of
life and come into his own; when
men will realize that there is some
ching else in life besides money, and
that after all it does not matter so
much as to the material things, and
men will turn aside to grasp and en-
tertain some Of the higher purposes.

great relief and benefit from same
that | purchased five dollars worth

The world is rapidly coming to
recognize Abraham Lincoln as one
Of its greatest men. In speaking Of
him Bishop Brent says, AS a lawyer,
henever knowingly undertook case
inwhich justice was on the side Of his
opponent. That same inconvenient
honesty which prompted him, III his
storekeeping days, to close his shop
and go in search of q woman he had
innocently defrauded of a few ounces
of tea while weighing out her gro
ceries, made it impossible fol him to
do his best with 8 poor case"
Persuade your neighbors,' said
he, ''to compromise wherever you
can. Point out to them how the
nominal winner is often the real
loser-in fees, expenses and waste Of
time. AS a peacemaker a lawyer has
superior opportunity of being a
good man
When he was leaving his home in
Illinois to assume the responsibilities
of national leadership, moved by his
affection for his town folk, he drew
back the mantle of reserve and re-
vealed the rock upon which his rug
ged nature was built: with
task before me greater than
that which rested upon Wash
ington, without the assistance of
that Divine Being who ever attend
ed him, cannot succeed. With that
assistance | cannot fail. Trusting
in Him who can go with me and
remain with you, and be everywhere
for good, let US confidently hope that
all will be well. To His care COM
mending you,a | hope in your pray
ers you will commend me, bid you

In 1862 when he was greatly per-
picked on certain matters and advice
was pouring in from all sides, he said:
