shall grant thee any honor which
thou mayst ask. If thou canst not
answer I shall put thee to the torture.
Give me a maxim, or law of conduct.
which will apply to every circumstance or
state or act of life; to health or disease;
to hope or despair. prosperity or misfor-
tune, pain or pleasure.
On hearing this demand the courtiers
gasped in establishment, and while they
silently pitied the poor old recluse, the
monarch was chuckling over the ease with
which he was about to put his aged sub
ject on the rack.
The sage himself. however. remained
unmoved, apparently buried in deep
thought; till at last. after waiting, the
king exclaimed, Come. come. thou wise
man! Wouldst go to the torture?'
Torture me if thou wilt, king" ex-
claimed the sage, but whatever may be-
fall me- that too shall pass away"
And SO the king had his answer.
1t was an answer which struck the wise
mans hearers with admiration, for 1t
seemed sufficient.
And am afraid that too many persons
even at the present day, will take this
story at its face value, as teaching q
profound truth. In fact. the sages
maxim has a modern paraphraSe in the
flippant remark, "Oh, we'll: cheer up: it'll
now
AS a matter Of fact, ''it'' will not be
"all the same hundred years from now.
No act no thought. no emotion. which
any one feels, whether in everyday living
or in any crisis Of life. terminates with
ITSELF Even the most trivial things per-
petuate their influence through the ages.
From this aspect, then, the wise mans
thought Is no. profoundly true: it is pro-
foundry untrue What we do. say and
think influences not only our own eternal
future, but that also Of all those around
US and all those who succeed us. History.
philosophy, science and religion alike
teach nothing il they do not teach this.
I 1t is of supreme Importance for us to
set a guard upon our feelings, deeds and
thoughts, for their influence is unending.
This, too. shall pass away Compare
the ancient sage's sentence with that
other:
Heaven and earth may pass away
but Ny words shall not pass away"

as not before that there is but one basis
for unity, and that the belief in Christ
as God and Savior. The other u.s. accord

realizing that unity cannot be reached
by disregarding the great truths. but by
emphasizing them. That is, he says, that
