of such men as Plato. Savanarola
 Plato. Shakespeare. Newton. Tenny-
 son. Washington, Lincoln, Hills and
 many. many others. The high planes of these men can not be reached by a single bound.
 Every one of us must begin at the bottom, and as often as we be- come worthy we are allowed to util- ize and advance on the structure of such men as those to whom we have referred.
 Likewise should we leave our ladder beautiful and good. making the way | up attractive and sure for those who | in their turn shall follow us.
 We need not look long about us to see some who are not building at l all, and to see some who are build ! ing better and making faster progress than others
 In this ladder of life it is not so much what one gives but what he shares that makes the surest, great est step.
 An illustration of this is found in l the ordinary life of two boys at | school George was out of school John, not fully up with his own work | shared his time in helping George to get what he had missed. Examina- l ton day came. The teacher, realizing Georges loss. gave him a lighter test, and when the report was posted with George rank one and John rank two, the latter said nothing and in no way betrayed his disappointment. He had lost rank one but he had put mighty block in the stair he was building. One sure to inspire his fellow mates and one which would lift himself to some SavaraaroIa plane
 NobleneSs is another one of the steps. Isabella of Parma. Emperor Joseph the seconds first wife. left us good example of this. Sacrificing herself to her fathers cruel demands in marrying the archduke of Austria, she gave up her own wishes and happiness. She made the archduke noble and faithful wife until God called her home.
 Returning good for evil makes an- other step. To love those who do us evil is perhaps as difficult a step as any to build. Queen Josephine of France gave us one of the greatest examples in ordinary history. NapO- leon cast her from him. She saw him make to another the marriage vow he had sworn to her Then after his banishment her noble. generous char acter asserted itself She went to him and gave him all the consolation in her power. loving and caring Tor him as though her trust had not been betrayed
 Each boy and girl that daily ac complishes the tasks assigned him, step by step. makes a slow but sure progress to his high ideals. He finds the road leading up hill all the way. But as each turret higher than the last is reached. he finds himself above the turmoil of the masses, and the social. educational and spiritual life is so pure. sweet and refreshing that he feels well paid for every effort the trip has cost. He is hailed by delight by those who are on the plains above and he cheers those who are coming behind.
 Then.
 Build thou more stately mansions
 on my soul.
 While the swift seasons roll Leave thy low vaulted past. Let each new temple nobler thar the
 last. Shut thee from heaven with a dome
 more vast
 Till thou, at length, art free. Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's
 unresting sea"

 Just Another Coat of Whitewash
 What is whitewash? It is a sub stance used to cover up something. When an old house or fence has been whitewashed it improves it in looks. However, it is still the same old house or same old fence. Whi'e we prefer the whitewashed rather than tn ed unwhitewashed house. yet the newly built one We would like much better. Likewise we admire the fresh. healthy complexion to that made by another coat of whitewash
 Often we see people. in their every day He Tn the ioIIt, DtlHB hihiiiN to brother or sister, parent or child | and on the approach of some guest or stranger. quickly put on another | coat of whitewash.
 Girls who some day expect to be- | come wives. beware of the boy care | less of his mothers comfort, un- | thoughtful of his sisters welfare. and | discourteous in the home six days out | of the week. who. on the seventh | day. dresses up in his best. gets out l his horse and buggy. and goes out, | spreading on another coat of white wash.
 We see the student off at school | spending his time and his parents hard earned cash in gay life and | riotous living. slipping through here, Judging there and by hook. crook. | cash. getting his diploma. and self elated. he goes off home. wearing | and carrying another coat of white wash
 Some people during the week are selfish and unkind. They use more than their share of water. they gos sip about their friends and neighbors. and they wholly forget the golden rule. On Sunday they put on their
