LEARNING THE ART OF LIVING
By II. e. Cole.
Special to the Nashville Globe:

special W lHe NASHVILLE GluDe.
Men study how to do everything
but live No man would enter COM
mercial venture with the same heed
lesness and lack of foresight and I'M
derstanding with which men airily
AXE up the great business of life.
Plan purpose, philosophy, most of us
have none. 1t really seldom occurs
to us to prepare for living as for the
most serious undertaking of our exis-
tence
How to live serenely, simirily and
servicable and in the full exercise of
our powers is a great problem, which
IS none the less real because so often
ignored.
The Christian conception Of life
has no place for tents of ease. It is
not pleasant abiding luxurious place.
1t is march, battle, war. The
virtues it demands are the fighters
virtues, of these preparedness is one
of the first. Let your loins be grid
ed about, said Jesus, that is gather up
your flowing robes fasten them into
the belt, and be ready to march or
fight or work
AS fireman is ready within a few
seconds at any hour of the night or
lay to mount the engine and be off,
as abathing master watches beach,
ready to leap into the water the in
slant anyone is in danger. So the
Christian is to keep himself ever in
state of perpetual preparation, alert
lives are few, opportunity finds most
| lives unready when he knocks at their
doors. 1t would have been so much
easier for humanity if the Creator
had only made us wooden manikens
case we would not have been men.
Lacking ability to fall, we would also
have lacked the ability to climb.
Man has appetites, they are the
mark of his manhood but when the
appetites have the man, then he has
been dethroned from his divine estate
A mans highest right is his right
TO surrender his rights. A man is
never so nObly man as when obey
ing the dictates of his noblest nature
The highest mountain peak of HUI
man achievements is the hill called
'olgotha. The crucifiXion gave thu
world its symbol of mans hope ant
Gods mercy. The life that mos
clearly bears the stamp of the divin,
upon its character is most DESTROYS o
avoiding an accession of stumbling t,
brother.
Daniel and his friends denied them
selves, but they pleased God and al
the worldiness. They gave up thei
little rights in exercises of their high
err rights.

The chief speaker of the day was
Bishop Thomas Nicholson of Chica.
go, who took for his theme, Some
Humanitarian Aspects of Educat on, -
He called attention to want, misery
and woe, fla, disl ase and crime
found in any large city, and in this
connection spoke at length of the
goodness, mercy and justice of God.
The Bishop said all these burdens
and drawbacks in life are perhaps
allowed by the Almighty to come
spur people on to an awakening to
the great possibilities of life and the
work each can accomplish. He said
the important thing is to find one S
self, that God is willing to cooper
ate with man in the accomplishment
of any great work"
The speaker drew comparison
between the old North America
Indian who inhabited the Miss ssippi
valley in the early days, and the
white man, who came later and de
veloped this great section. This
| proved very interesting and in
structive lesson. At the close of his
address he spoke of the worthwhile
spirit that should inspire every great
work or movement. He said: ut Ii
/ the altruistic spirit that enlarges oul
visions, makes the future brighter
and seals our efforts with success
this true-blue altruism tnat cam,
from the cross on Mount Calvary
For me to live is Christ; to die i
gain"

and made short addresses were d.
