The Danger Of the Inferior

We often told that one reason why W.

they can never satisfy US. But the danger is tina.
they may satisfy us. A boy at school may CONT
to like evil talk and unworthy Stories When he
left home such things were unnatural and dis
tasteful to him, but he let himself down to them
little by little until anything else is uncongenia to
him. The inferior things have come to satisfy
him. A popular lecturer told recently OF having
heard one woman say to another as they came
away from an Ibsen play, Il do not like 1bsen.
He takes the hope out Of life" II she spoke sin.
cerely, 1t was only because she had brought her
self to such an unnatural philosophy. She did
not begin life with SO unwholesome and untrue
view. In the days that were real and worthy it
was hope which made life beautiful. If now she
preferred hopelessness It was because her pref
erences had degenerated. and that had begun to
satisfy her which formerly would have been the
very depth OF darkness to her.
This is the peril Of the souls freedom. The
very capacity to rise involves the capacity to de-
scend. Just as we can 60 forward from any at

dual functions. When mine disaster occurs. the
cars in that district are hurried to the scene and
the men on board take the lead in the rescue
