ing. Last year he was lat the head
of TIE department of Child. study

The Ultimate Aim.

Life Is given US primarily to develop
character, to unfold and evolve the
soul, and the physical organism, our
body, is the testing ground and gym
nasium for its development. says the
Philadelphia Record.
The ultimate aim, then, of living
should be making the life beautiful
within, which always insures lowell,
ness without-the masterful conquest
of the lower nature, the willing re-
n~unciation of trihing and unnecessary
habits; love Of the r and perfect
and avoidance of the untrue and i'm.
perfect; a realization that whatever
else others may do or be. that our con
scious universe will be made for and
by ourselves. The key of life and
the art of living are expressed In the
words mastery and attainment, This
can be done by right thinking. by
! finding our soul center. We will claim
our divine birthright. our royal privi.

steep upward slope OF a certain wild

Five hundred feet below the dry
floor Of the gulch, which here widened
to a narrow valley, was filled from
