| audible panorama that earth and the
| skies and the waters spread before us,
and beyond what is real is all that is
imagined. We greedily receive the
fairy story and the allegory, and the

parallels and points his moral with
narration.
Easy It is to stay put" to go on
| doing Just what n has been doing
| all these years, to live and move the
mere automaton Of habit and the
galvanic refexes, to go through the
motions as though pulled by hidden
| wires, or like a dummy seated on the
knee Of a ventriloquist. Thus shall
men and women gain the world and
lose their souls. You may be an in
valid in a wheel chair, a sufferer
with a pilgrim spirit tethered to a
hospital cot, yet you are bound to ex-
ercise the stiffened muscles Of the
mind to restore in them their former
residence and alacrity.
You need not go far from your w
door; going or staying, the inquiring
mind brought to bear on all that pass
es beneath our ken is the chief means
toward life's enrichment. How vexing
1t Is to find so many who have pere-
grinated up and down the world all
these years and remained about the
same! They have covered a mileage
sufficient to throw a loop around the
moon, but they are just as narrow,
selfish and silly and formal as they
were when they left school with a
liberal education. coolies Of money

withered trunk is the passion that
strikes downward into the root Of all
evil, and would enlarge the choking
accumulation Of money round about
it, If it only could.
To be ION the make" for oneself, in
the sense Of piling dollar on dollar, is
not to enrich ones life. 1t is in the
inner tranquil places Of existence, at
the hidden springs, that the principal
sources Of health and strength and
hope are to be found. One who can
sit in the center and enjoy bright
day. is the proprietor of vast estates,
which no mar by casuistry or force
can wrench from him. For whatsoev-

of death, that takes all else we have

THE ENRICHMENT OF LIFE
What We See and What We Do Makes
the Difference.

We owe 1t to ourselves now and
then to take a tangent from the IA
miliar round, even if the excursion be
only to the next street or the adjoin-
ing village. What means this tre-
mendous modern interest in travel
pictures and the movies?" 1t means
the same craving toward the incredi-
BILE that Caesar found true of his day,
when the provincial commercial trav-
elers in Gaul brought to the gaping
market pace more wares than they
carried in their packs. The traveller
was the story-teller: he earned his
welcome by anecdotes, like a mounte-
bank today.
