First, what do want most Of AM
a man in Chicago said to me one day.
III I could have all l wanted of any
one thing I would take money"
He would be a fool and so would
you II you would make a similar
choice. Not that money is not neces-
sAry. but there are lots OF things
money cannot buy.
III you should meet with an accident
which would require surgical opera
ton or your life would be despaired
OF. there 10 not a man here but that
would gladly part with all the money
no has II that would give him the as
surancs that he could live twelve
months longer.
But II you had an the money in tho
world you couldn't go to the grave
yard and put that loved ono back In
tho family circle again and hear that
voice speak your name again.
Some years ago q steamer tied up
AZ her wharf. having Just returned
nom the Klondika. and as the people
walked down the plank their friends
met them to congratulate them on their
SUCCESS or to encourage them through
their defeat And among the crowd
was man used to know In Fargo.
n d.
Friends rushed DIP and said. Wei.
we hear that you were very successful
in tho far off North
Yes. wife and / left here six months
ago with Just enough money 10 paw
our faro and now we have $4,000
worth of gold dust IN the hold of that
ship"
Then somebody discovered that their
little boy was not with them and said.
Where is yimv'
Tears Rolled Down His Cheeks
Tho tears rolled down his cheeks
ard he said. we left him buried on
the banks of Yukon beneath the snow
and ice. and We would gladly part with
All the gold If we only had our boy"
But all the wealth of the klondik o
could not open the grave and put that
child back into their arms. Money
can't bay the peace OF God that passeth
Understanding Money can't take the
sin out of your life.
Money can surround your sick bed
with Injuries, bat it cannot restore
your health Money can furnish you
with bed of swandown. but WIN not
take the thorns ont OF guilty con-
sctence. Money will purchase parasites
but IL has never bought a true and
tried friend that will stand by you
until the last ditch.
Is there any particular kind OF life
you would like to have. II you could
live 100 years ycu wouldn't want to
die would youF l wouldn't want
TO stay as long Gods will WIN let
me stay. but when Gods time comes
Tor nc Tn ready to 60. But IL could
live t.oea years. ia like to stay. /
| don't want To die. I always thought
there was something wrong with q
Fellow who wanted to die I am not
afraid TO die. Bu. / win put up an
argument with God to try to convince
BIN that II would not hur. 70 let me
stay little longer.
And so what I want is eternal life
You want II. everybody wants It.
Can l get eternal life~~ That In tho
next question.
II you are i'll the most natural thing
Cor You to do Is to go for your doctor
He II is to whom ron phone any hour
Of the day or night, and then you let
him whistle for HIS money
Be~n Thinking Matter Over.
fou VIII say to him. u have been
thinking this matter over and have
rome to the conclusion that I DON'T
want 20 Gle. Can you help me-"
Flo viii tell you. II can diagnose
your case and can prescribe for
your malady. but cannot sell life. I
have one hundred patients on my hand,
All asking me the same thing None
Of them want TO die. I cannot pro-
long life"
when your times comes You will
. have to 60.
So. then you go to your PHILOSOPHER.
He II Ia that reasons out the problems
and mysteries of life by the appiica-
tfon OF reason. You say TO him IT
have come TO you for HELM. want to
live forever. Can you help me-"

Then Won turn 70 the millionaire And

he will say. II can hire the best
