The choice that one man made,

An impressive fact is that most stu.

that this time OF decision will have

to put life into right relationship
with God Is the matter OF supramc

mon did, and 1t was the "fundamen n

Choosing . Long Path.
Bishop Mcdowell spoke sagely,
the other evening by the lakeside,
as the boys were gathered at twi.
light In the "lifework meeting"
when he babe them remember that
1t takes a great work to satisfy a
man through a long life. What is
interesting for year may be made
quate for 50 years. LIES choice
should be OF that which will not be
outgrown easily. and which has
enough in 1t TO satisfy the ripe judg.
ment of age as well as the ardor OF
youth. Pity the people who have
grown tired OF their life. as children
tire Of toys. This safety with Its
pleasures is perhaps the saddest
TACT about society. We choose after
the Solomon fashion when we select
the qualities and the career which
will not perish In the using.
An old fashion. about which one
does not hear so much nowadays,
was for parents to dedicate their
children in infancy to some high
calling. as the ministry Of religion.
That solemn purpose lowered over
the child's life imparting sense
OF defniteness and sacredness and
purpose to all his years. II spoke
to youth of the supremacy Of ideals.

Foclishness in High Places.
Talk AT breakfast fell upon the
folly OF various men In high places:
and the group OF men from differ
ent parts OF the country contributed
stories Of present.day public men
who could not stand the test of
great position. This man Is prey
TO drink; this one Is losing his
throne through vanity; this other
mas lost his sense OF proportions
and relative values; this one has
yielded 10 spirit of revenge. All

upon Solomon's wisdom. who chose

upbraideth not and 1t shall be

straight. God-guded men go
far. In the really great crises of
public affairs, 1t Is the spiritually
minded men who are trusted In
leadership. Rulers who are led OF

purpose draws to itself, in their
natural order and proportion. those
pleasures Of life which, when d.
rectly pursued elude the grasp.
Solomon sought wisdom-and
found riches and power and fame
and long life as by-product. As
pleasure comes at its best to others

seeks ont those who are too busy
