These three natures Of man are
meant to stand in relation to each
other as balance wheels on machinery.
Only as the balance wheels run true
does the machine do it's work best.
Only as men and women keep them
selves in proper harmony with all
these powers Of body and mind and
heart. can they hope to do life's tasks
worthily.
Manlinsss First; Profession Aftsrward.
This all links closely with another
requisite. The world II esbi1g for
manly men and womanly women. The
eccentric philosopher on the street OF
the city at on-day with his lantern,
did not end the search Of the world for
honesty in men and women. Today
the premium Is all upon integrity No
man will ask or demand that you be
high born. or rich. All men are now
asking that you be unrelentingly hon

"And as you are facing life. what
are YOU going to do with yourselves?
Is there young man or young woman

grasp the real issue. that you are
thinking that somewhere there IL a
calling that in and of itself will give
you a standing, or a caste in the busy
world-life out yonder? If such there

there are towers Of strength in all
walks Of life. But they were men be-

Prepare For Hard Work.
"If some great spirit were to appear
to me as speak. and invite me to
choose for you the task for life. for
the hardest duty and the toughest
field. Then one other request would I
make for you, and of you. That you
prepare yourself as IL for the extra
ordinary: that in that hard place you
would feel that you had found just the
right place for you. From the storied
days Of old there comes into mind the
tale Of 'feudal knight He was the
owner of two castles situated on the
opposite sides of a deep ravine. For
safety from his foes. he had perched
the castles up among the peaks and
crags Of the mountain AS he sat en-
joying the scenery about him, he one
day conceived the idea of constructing 6
a huge aeolian harp. He would stretch
wire cables from peak to peak and
from tower to tower across the ravine.
This done, the knight sat and awaited
the winds to play upon the strange In
strument. The gentle breezes blew but

was about to order the destruction OF
the harp. when one night a mighty
tempest arose. The peaks and crass
