The Moral Obligation to Be
Intelligent.

Is ignorance misfortune or a
wise? Must man give account in
the day of judgment for an empty
head as we'll as for an evil heart
If mothers meager knowledge Of
how to train children burns low in
her lamp and finally goes out in the
darkness of failure, will she be left
outside with the foolish virgin :?
Questions like these are suggested
by the heading of this article.
If man is not intelligent is he
immoral? A man who fails to
make living is called business
failure. Is a man who fails to &C
quire knowledge moral failure? {?
The answer is simple enough.
If the duties incunb bent upon men
in general are such as to render in
telligence indispensabl BILE to their
full performance, then intelligence
is morally obligatory, and all un-
necessary ignorance is sin. The
man who neglects the acquire.
ments of all the knowledge and
training possible, and who fails in
the performance of any duty
through the bungling efforts of an
unframed mind, is guilty man in
the sight of God. The engineer
who wrecks a passenger train
through ignorance of the signals
ahead, is guilty. The doctor who
through avoidab BILE ignorance of
medicine and disease allows a pa-
tient to die, is guilty.
Most people would agree that the
engineer, the doctor, the prescrip.
tion cler k should understand their
business, and if they do not they
are morally responsible for dis
astrous results. But do the lives
of ordinary men and women re-
quire intelligence? Well, every
man wants to be and ought to be
as much of man as possible, be-
cause dwarfed, stunted, shriv-
eled, pigmy Of a soul does not re-
feet much glory on its maker, nor

Need Of Love that Lifts.

It cannot be that God put such a
great measure Of love in human
hearts without purpose, and that,
not that it should be locked up in
our own individual selves, or pour.
ing out upon a chosen few, which
would mean putting it to death
under the weight Of a selfish use
Of what he intended should be as
broad as mankind, for there is no
limit to love when God can honor
it, and it grows by use always,
never by being left useless. The
world is hungry for the love that
lifts. The Master taught US that,
for it is said of him, "He went
about doing good" Never one SO
low that the Christ could not reach
down to him. Never one SO hope
less that he did not make the fro
zen stream flow again. Never one
comfortless that he did not COM
fort. Lifting, loving, serving
through all his weary days, yet
with little to comfort him except
the Joy of service. So he spent the
years on earth and left us an ex-
ample to follow in his steps. Why
are we so willing to receive-so slow
to give? Why not learn the great
est lesson in life that it is only by
giving we grow rich in the best
things God has in store for his
children. Philip Brooks tells how
we climb Godward as we climb
mountain peaks, by putting foot
step after footstep in to the print
left by someone going before, tied
to US by sympathy-so we ascend
by one another-we live by one an
others blessings.-Selected. =
