Tis not for man TO trife, life is brief.

Life could be well separated into two
distinct periods or divisions, the hrst 10
be devoted TO achievements-to the con-
of our Ideals, and attending to
the demands for physical existence. the
second should be spent, since Il is no
longer necessary to turn The attention TO
the accumulation of thirss, 10 the finer
elements in the mind and in the soul,
which alone can give real superiority 10
the being OF man. In brief when the
mental faculties are no longer needed IN
