HAVING A PURPOSE IN LIFE
Always a Mistake to Drift AlmIessly,
Without Set Purpose or Direct
Destination.

The poorest mortal in the world is
the one who has no purpose in life.
one who Just drifts along. the victim
OF every low influence he runs into.
The safe way, the hopeful way. is
to have a purpose that aims at some
thing higher than the present situa-
ton. 1t may not always be work. but
It will do an immense good. even II
It fails at times.
How often we see men and women
drifting along without any aim or
destiny, apparently ready for any
port that may appear. They are
without guide. pilot or purpose and
they are pretty sure to land at the
port OF Failure. It is dangerous to
drift. Get purpose. 1t is never too
late. though in youth 1t proves the
best friend one can have.
A purpose in life steers one away
from bad habits. and especially does
It break up loafing, which ia one OF
the worst menaces that dallies with
youth. And how extended is this
menace! One can see It in the streets
any day-boys and young men literal
ly spelling their lives because they
were living without q purpose.-Ohio
