Last Sunday morning, Mr.. Baker spoke
ON the theme, "Making ones life count, F"
from the text, Phil. iii, Ia. 1t is wonder
full thing just to be alive. But more won
derful, of infinitely greater value to the
world that we make our lives count for
something. We pass this way but once.
There is no return by the way we came.
Every midnight is gate that swings be-
hind us, locking yesterday away from our
reach, and ushering us into tbs paths of
the new day. Because of the resistless
movement OF the tide of human life, it be-
booves us to stop and earnestly consider a
subject of which we are prone to think too
little, what may do that | have not been
doing TO make my life count?
Every hour, yes, every minute of every,
hour, some one is reaching the end of his
Journey. Somewhere in every hour of ev-
cry day the slow moving, black line creeps
to the silent city on the hill, "where waits
the narrow home appointed for all the
Lying" And for each one of us-the
youngest as well as the oldest-the time
will come when we shall stand at the Dor
der of the shadow land to realize that the
only things worth while are the results oil
q life spent in pursuit of those things
which make the world brighter, and which
tend to lift our fellowmen to highel
planes of living.
