Sometimes on the road Of life we

examination.

DAYLIGHT ALL, THE TINE.


In the announcement by Philadel-
phia scientist, DR.. Herbert =. Ives.
that he has invented daylight-an ar
tif1cial light which Stimulates that pro
duced BY the suns rays-lies the sug-
gestion Of an interesting thought
Granted the further invention of
means to enable human beings to live
without sleep, should we be glad to see
night abolished?
Think OF daylight for twenty-four
hours continuously! No night, no dark
ness, no cessation of the days actiyi-
ties!
How much work we could do! Some
times we feel the day is all too short
for all we should like to see, to do, to
be, to enjoy.
| Perhaps we should emulate Edison,
who can toll twenty hours without
resting, sleep four hours and go back
to his laboratory or bench with un-
] wearied energy. or maybe we could
/ initiate the famous French author who
did his best writing between q. 90.
and 6 d. m, when the rest Of the world
! was resting.
The invention Of the Philadelphia
man seems to open wide field. II
brings to realization, perhaps, the cry
/ of Goethe on his deathbed for more
4 lightr'
When night shall no longer ''let her
curtain down and pin it with star
shall we be healthier. happier, wiser?
1 Perhaps, but not surely.
There is blessing IN the coming OF
the twilight, when the shadows CREEP
slowly from the west and envelop Us
q in their soft folds.
The coming Of the night brings
! thoughts of home. of rest and peace
u With the passing Of the glare in tht
3 heavens the cares of the day fee.
Perpetual daylight may be good
1 But surely one CLEAN Of the sunse
Frightening the western sky with It:
promise Of a sure resurrection OF th'
sun on the morrow. is worth more.
When science shall have bidder
death itself to stay its hand, when OLE
age shall be routed and the life 9
+ man be prolonged at his pleasure
when the invention Of the Philadel
, phia man or some other shall produc
/ a light to rival the suns, shall we q
be happier?
It is not likely.

IS THE YOUNG MAN SAFE?

Possibly in all the Bible. with its
wealth of tender and touching tales.
there is not to be found more ap-
pealing picture than that Of King Da-
vtd waiting at the gate for tidings OF
his son Absalom.
There had been great battle. Da-
v;d. loving his wayward. rebellious
son Absalom well, had nevertheless
been compelled to send soldiers to put
down his rebellion.
He had charged them strongly.
Deal gently. for my sake, with the
young man. even with Absalom." But
bis command had been disobeyed Abb
salon, caught by the hair of his head
in an oak, as others are caught every
day by their sins, was dead, slain In
disregard Of the kings commands.
To the king came running messen-
ger with tidings of the battle David
asked no word Of victory. Of exulta-
ton.
rs the young man Absalom safe?"
he said.
How often do parents sit at the gate
! Of the city waiting for news OF the
battle! In them is no thought of the
outcome of the warfare, no desire for
victory, save as it brings back safe to
them their children. They ask Of life
only this question:
rs my boy or girl safe?"
In time life takes from all of US
what we prize best. AS we grew old
er we leave behind our youth, our
health, our length Of days. Worst OF
all, it takes our children.
# We cannot withhold them from the
world 1t calls on US to surrender
them to it so they may take up thel1
share of its burdens, may wage thel1
portion of it's warfare AS they grow
older they are stirred with the same
desire to mingle in the strife which
moved US in our younger days.
We do we'll if we send them fortt
guarded BY the buckler of virtue anc
truth and armed with the weapons OF
knowledge and skill and self restraint
But go forth they must.
A Then we sit at the gate of the cit!
awaiting their return. Sometimes they
come back laden with the spoils of vic
tory; sometimes they limp back tori
and bleeding with the wounds of un
equal strife Not every one may hgh
the world with assurance of success,
But it is their safety for which W
are concerned, not their success. w
do not ask:
Have you won prizes in the war?
We say, as did King David of old:
rs the young man safe?"
MAY it not be with us as it was wit
the king:
And the king was much moved an
d went up to the chamber over the gat
aud wept. and as he went thus he said
O my son Absalom. my son. my 50

The thought is suggested by the

the use of an individual attempting it?'
Shame on you, neighbor! Have YOU
