Only One In One thousand Alive.
BY ELLA WHEELER wilcox.

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
In every thousand people who are
living on this earth not more than
one is alive.
To be really alive means more
than.to be moving, breathing, eat
Ing, drinking and talking human
creatures.
He who is actually alive finds the
days too short for the wonderful ex-
periences which are involved in this
State.
He finds life itself a continual ad-
venture, full Of interest and with
opportunities for pleasure and
achievement at every turn.
He finds himself an object Of de-
lightful study, however dissatisfied
he may be with the present results
Of that study; for he perceives that
he is crude chunk Of Eternity, and
that in himself lie all the powers and
possibilities latent in the universe.
And that in himself lies the will to
work out these possibilities.
He who is fully alive enjoys the
earth and all its pleasures. Ht
loves the slap Of the wind upon hi:
cheek; the dash of the waves upor
his breast. the motion Of his limb
in the swift walk; the thrill Of th'
good steed's body under his own
the ecstasy Of rhythm in the dance
the swing Of the oar. He love
labor and the fatigue which follows
and in his hamoniously develops
frame there is not one lazy or I'm
used muscle.
But being alive does not stop here
The man who is practising the al
Of being alive to its full extent ha
an alert, receptive brain and a
awakened spirit. Without these h
would simply be splendid anima
With these he is the highest eS
preston of the Creative Powt
visible to mortal vision. And wit
these he finds his opportunities f
happiness. usefulness and pleasul
in existence thfee-fold.
He knows the pleasures Of II
physical plane, fer which his bod
is fashioned; he draws to hin
self the pleasures Of the ment
plane, and he senses the pleasure
OF the spiritual plane which lies nea
and derives power therefrom.
The man who is alive in all the
ways must radiate light, cheer, syr
pathy and helpfulness to all wi
come within his aura. He undt
stands the temptations and I
