Is a never ending sunshine. You may
have strong physical body. train
ed mind, and be morally good (in the
commonly accepted meaning of that
phrase) yet miss real life. The tes-
timony Of many attests the truth OF
the statement. Each man tries to
find life in his work. but reui life lies
back of 1t.
To the preacher life's a sermon,
To the miser life Is money.
To the loafer life Is rest.
To the lawyer life's trial,
To the doctor life's patient
That needs treatment right along.
To the teacher life's school;
To the soldier life's battle.
L.fe's 4 good thing 10 the CRATER.
It'e failure to the. fool.
To the man upon the engine.
iife's long and heavy grade;
TO the merchant life is trade.
To the rascal life's a fraud:
Life is but long vacation
TO the man who loves his work;
ildfe's an everlasting effort
TO shun duty. to the shirk.
TO the eternal Christian worker

Life Is what we try to make it
Brother. what is life to you?
Real life Is not a property Of physi
atome. nor does 1t lie In mental at
tainment. In occupation or the wealth
we possess. but in that which inspires
us to live for eternity. For what Is
man proilted If he shall gain the
whole world and lose his own soul :?
Or what shall IL man give In exchange
for his soul? Bringing the question
still closer. which would you rather
have, II you had to make choice
one hundred millions II dollars, lands,
houses, automobiles. etc, or q sure
hope OF eternal life? All, physical
life Is but vapOr but eternal iifc
endures. Our Savior said: "Whoso-
ever liveth and believeth In Me shall
never die" The history OF Christianity
has been one Of sacrifice. The real
pillows OF our churches are not those
OF wood and stone which you see, but
they ar the consecr!ted lives OF men
and women whose sacrifice has made
, its existence possible. Thus 1t has
been in all ages. Would you know
what real life is? Seek iChtist. nPhsla
lips Brooks when asked whaai wasnthe,
greatest text said: There, ,iiD only
one text-"I am come that they!migha
have life and that they mightnhavbias ias
more abundantly." Earthly life, then,
is not all. As Henry Warnpqk has, 90
