do. But the increase in the average
Of life by those processes does not
strengthen the race. The vital ques-
ton is, are we adding to the produc-
tive years Of life?
Diseases of the heart are not
diminishing. Premature hardening Of
the arteries is not diminishing. The
diseases which attack men between
the ages Of forty and sixty and rob
the community of its most product
i've years show rather alarming in
crease.
The real problem before US is to in
crease the productive years of life.
This must be done in one Of three
ways. Either we must shorten the
period of preparation and let pro-
ductive life begin soo Ter; or we
must lessen the number OF diseases
that break men down in middle life
and so fight off old age and increase
the latter productive years; or we
must find some way of making the
lives of men much more productive
in the relatively short period between
childhood and old age, each of which
periods lays heavy and increasing
burdens on the community.

presses you first of all as a man of
effective personality. Let me speak
Of another nonogenarian, Clara Bar
ton who died yesterday at almost ex-
actly DR.. Pearsons' age. She was a
wonderful woman-a little, modest,
lady-like woman. But in her presence
you felt all the while the force of a
sweet, winsome and effective per-
sonality. Delicate and gentle as she
was, she could organize an army.
sympathetic as she was, she shrank
not from the battle field and the
hospital. because she was self
possessed, self-forgetful, and always
in control of the situation. asked
her once how she could bear the
sight of so much suffering, and she
said,
only by remembering all the
time that l was never to consider
how the sight of suffering affected
me, but only what l could do to re-
lieve It,"
Do not make the mistake of assum-
ing that your success in life is to
be judged by what you get out Of
life. No really great life can be
judged that way. You cannot Judge
any soldier by what he got out of life,
but by what he put into life. What
you get out OF life will be gone with
you in less than ninety years. What
you put into life lives on forever.
The only way to Judge a poet,
singer, an author or any other success
full man. is by what he puts into
life. You cannot judge Of even
rich man by what he gets, but by
what he gives. There are a million
tombstones surmounted by the cross,
but there is not in all Christendom
a tombstone that bears a dollar sign
as the emblem of its owners faith.

Dor. though you build your house In
the woods. the world will make q
beaten path to your door,"
The subsequent history of this SEN
tence affords a singularly interesting
illustration of the fact that the teach
ing contained within is not always
true.
The sermon in which this sentence
occurred was doubtless a better SER
mon than the average Of those
preached by the neighbors Of Rev.
John Paxton on that particular Sun
day. Did tho world proceed at once to
wear a path to the door of his
church?
IL did not.
And he did not live in the woods
either.
He continued his able and efficient
and successful ministry, and did good.
But SO far as is known the West
Presbyterian Church in New York
did not find 1t necessary to renew
the pavement on account of the
crowds that came seeking the author
of that fine sentence, and the ex-
collent sermon OF which II was a
part.
They wore a path to Emerson's
door.
Emerson was dead by that time.
Probably a thousand orators, great
and small, quoted the sentence and
attributed II to Emerson.
Comparatively few people read
Emerson. but most people like to
quote him, and now and then some
one who quotes him looks thru his
essays to see from which one OF them
a quotation is made. So it may have
been the thousandth orator who quot
ed 1t, saying.
las Emerson has so we'll said, III
you write better book, or preach
better sermon. or build better
mouse-trap than your neighbor,
though you build your house in the
woods. the world will make a beaten
path to your door," to whom 1t occur
red TO look the matter up. And he
searched through the published es-
says OF Emerson and could not find
II.
DR.. Edward Emerson replied in
answer to questions, that it so'Inded
like his father. but he could M find
II in his writings.
The world was disappointed. The
path to Emerson's door was a blind
alley.
Then the world made a beaten
path to Ebert Hubbards door. That
represents the range OF some peo-
Pies literary imagination-IfE Emerson
did not say 1t. Ebert Hubbard did.
Ebert Hubbard has said a good many
things that Emerson never said
nor would have said. But when the
world beat a path to Ebert Hub
bard's door. and asked him II he
wrote that verse. HI blushed modest
ly and admitted that IL was his. He
said he evolved IL out OF his COS
mic consciousness" He sometimes
gets things in that way.
So we see that Dr. Paxtons fine
sentence intended to illustrate the
theory that the world will surely
discover the author of a really good
thing came very near to showing that
sometimes II does not happen SO. The
world sometimes beats two paths, one
TO the grave OF dead man, and the
other to the shop OF a skillful adver-
tiser. while the grass grows in the
highway leading to the real author.
Though he live and preach in the
heart of a crowded city with a main
thoroughfare passing his door, he
might as well take to the woods so

AMERICAN WOMEN
IN POLITICS OF
German Edict Against Foreign
Marriages Draws Atten.
ton to Fact

~HE edict of the German impe-
rial chancellor against the
marriage of members of the
German diplomatic corps with
foreign women is not as sweeping as it
appears on the surface, but is merely
by which the chancellery reserves the
right to pass judgment upon these for
eign matches and, if such matches are
made over its veto, demands the resig-
nation of the diplomatist from the Ger
man service. A member Of the German
embassy may marry an American wo-
man tomorrow if he wishes, provided
he has first satisfied his government
that the match is expedient.
There was much speculation in Wash

dor, Count Won Bernstorff, whose wife
