afford relief. The trained mind
physician and the skill of a compe-
tent nurse bringing their healing
balm will give us some reasonable
ground for hope. For mere asking,
strength is not renewed. With the
right attitude of mind, with sincere
desire expressed He shall renew
Strength.
But mere strength is not sufficient.
One may. have moral and spiritual
strength without rufficient mental ac-
cumen or ability to balance. We
know those who cannot be swerved
in honesty and integrity and yet
never rise to any moral and spiritual
nights. None should be satisfied with
Just honesty. Paul said. In reviewing
tho elements of the doctrine of Christ,
Let us go on and apply this to our
selves, forgetting those things which
ere behind and reaching forth unto
those things before, q stress toward
the mark of the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus But we always
find obstacles in our way. In the
city the buildings are high and in
tho country the trees prevent us from
having an untrammeled view OF the
heights. Those who gain the summit
of the mountain peak and gaze out
beyond and below Mt the sparkling
mountain streams ard winding paths
and wonderful trees, grow strong IN
spirituality and gain n much broader
view.
Life's Broader View
We rise by intellectual and esthetic
development. 1t increases our ca
pacity for and our sources of happi-
ness. The peasant who only gains
knowledge and education enough to
meet the requirements of doing for
his family and tilling the soil under
his care, reaps happiness to be sure.
but only a happiness corresponding
to the extent of his capacity, for the
sources are few, He who cultivates
his mind and tastes obtains broades
view of life and duty. The rocks of
the earth take on q new interest when
he knows they reveal the formation
of the earth. Thru an intelligent
study of the books OF decades past
the best thoughts of the ages gone
| are his. Thru science, art and music
| education is his, and his soul rises
| in response to these-his soul mounts
on wings. The humblest calling is
honorable If honestly persued, how
! ever, but select for your life work
if possible young people a calling that
! brings something more than mere
| living; something that by application
| of mind you can obtain more in
| tellectual and broader view of God
plan. Then each can do more for
/ his ncighbor. the state, the nation.
We rise by doing our work intelli'
gently and well. Happiness does not
consist of doing just what we like
but in liking what we do. Many a
man is doing work that neither his
Maker nor his training has qualificd
him for. Choose your calling accord
ing to your training and ability
Charles A. Pillsbury. the high salariet
manager of one of the largest mer
camille companies in the country, was
asked by a newspaper reporter VIVA
his secret 81 achievement in salari
ed position was. The answer was
to do all the way up twice as mucf
as you are paid for. We rise by thu
service we render othors. There arr
so many avenues during these critica
times for services to be rendered, ant
all conditions thruout the world arr
in such state that light must b'
brought Gin as much as ye hav'
done 1t unto the least of one OF thes'
my brethren. ye have done 1t unt'
me-" We mount up with wings
the eagles. We rise by obtaining
more worthy conception of God thrl
study of his works. Ones idea o
God is necessarily limited by the ex
tent of his intelligence. One viii
alert mind sees so much in the phe
nomena of nature around HIM. II
