Our Ideal Of Perfeetlon.

The modern world has new and
elaborate dogma of the body, but con-
viction (if it exist in regard to the
soul is tentative and wary. For many
past years the faith has been taught,
the belief has been growing, that
physically fit of necessity means men
tally fit, that physical power is the
measure of mans efficiency. The one
glory Of our college life lies in its
sports, and education of muscle. The
only ideal of perfection now in evil
dence is an ideal of physical perfec-
ton: for this, no sacrifice is too great,
no case too onerous. Images of per-
feet bodily development are kept be-
fore the young--the Apollo. with
beauty of sinew and muscle; but the
face of the Christ is growing ever
more and more dim before their eyes,
and is more and more alphabetically
presented, if presented at all.-At-

Poor fellow! No doubt he used his

POSSIBLE TO BE TOO GOOD

Some Wise Advice to Others
Of Her Sex.

Women mourn and rail at mans un-
faithfulness, but it is only fair to re-
member, when such shortcomings are
brought up against man as set over
against woman, that Lilith was just
as truly a woman as was Eve. In our
accusations and recriminations we too
often forget that mans faithfulness to
a good woman is usually encouraged
by the wiles of a bad one, and that
more often than not woman stands
at each end of the path that stretches
from heaven to hell
We forget, too, by what dear and
lovable things man may be held to
the fair and honest ways of life. An
eager cOmradeship with him in the
things for which he cares, good hui
NOR in Sunshine as we'll as in storm,
an easy-going conscience as to the
smaller duties of life, and an abiding
love for frills and laces, these are the
gentle virtues that will serve to keep

zine heart.
