To die, even to die eternally-except
as the penalty for sin-is nothing. But
to live as though one expected to live
forever-that is great thing. Nor
ality, as the product of the fear of eter-
nal life, is rather a poor affair." To
be driven into virtue through fear of
punishment, or bribed into it through
hope Of reWard-that is a miserable
thing. 1t is not forgotten that st. Paul,
in his wonderful letter to the COrin-
thians, which is part Of the burial
service, said: eff after the manner
of men I have fought with beasts at
Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the
dead rise not? Let US eat and drink,

chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in bad state of health in
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
five months penned up within the walls

is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack of good exer'

In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
