Yesterday met q glutton. whose
vice has destroyed his mind more COM
pietely than evon strong drink usually
aoes He has for years lived to eat
sacrinced his college training, his am
pitlons, his manhood responsibilities
and all the finer delights OF life. The
Instance illustrates I'm an unusual fash
lat the expense OF the mind Had that
man sought intellectual pleasures. In
stead or gross gluttony. he would have
been an honor TO his friends. Instead
OF 2 oyword and a Joke. His plight
which excttes the dorision OF all who
come into contact with him, recalls
that earlier day In the civilization Of
Europe when the body received more
edueaticn than the mind. and to be "a
good trencherman" was more honor
able than TO be a scholar. Now. how
ever In all lands whore civilization Is
dominant, the development OF the mind
and spirit Is held to be the highest
privilege OF man. and the clear duty OF
all who have the training OF the peopIs
In charge
Nowadays IL Is "the thinking bay
onet that wins all wars. Trained
brains are more potent than. big clubs
shoot straightest, but the one who
can think best comes on victor in the
struggle Of life.
To mend the mind Is 70 lift the life
AS man thinketh so IA he ="
Amos r Wells says:
Minds are improved by contact with
wiser minds: and the wiser you are
the more people you will fnd that In
some points know more than you do
Minds are improved by exercise.
Minds are enlarged by thinking as
muscles by working.
Minds that are not improving are
oesenerating. Like tree, when a
MIND ceases TO grow II begins to die.
some studies are to give informa-
ton; other studies. even more import
ant are 20 develop power.
Tne additions that will improve o
mouse are those that are made hnr-
mcniously with the plan or the house
And thus IL Is not every study and
every book that will Improve the mind

suits In your life"
The peculiar faculty OF imparting

degree by the Bible. Nobody who reads
