latter items are s4,6O2,516 for Du-

HAVING A PURPOSE.

We can well imagine times when the
necessity for applying ourselves is
very real and very stern; when we
can derive but little comfort from our
position. and when we are likely to
pose as martyrs rather than as sol
diers ready FOR the fray But all that
comes before the light of reason and
understanding breaks through the
darkness and makes things palmer
than they have ever been Il is good
TO have an individual purpose In life;
what that purpose is lies within our
own breasts. We are not all nodded
upon the same pattern, says the
Charleston News and Courier. In
deed, It is said that there are no two
natures alike and that God in his
goodness decreed that such should be
the case. However, that may be. we
are all in fact his children and are
placed In this world for the one great.
controlling reason of working out our
own salvation. How we are to DO this
rests with each one Of us personally.
and just to the extent Of our realiza-
ton and understanding Of that sacred
trust will we make our efforts tell.
To be prepared at all times as far
as II lies within our power is not the
least important of the means at our
command. while to leave the future TO
take care of Itself and to trust to the
spur Of necessity for obtaining our
most vital results. however helpful
