opes is that tlfSt partakes of the
worker. Think of Christ. He gave
Himself; the spark Of His very ma
ture, Of His very spirit was in every
word that He spoke by way OF In
struction, condemnation, warning and
encouragement. and that is why He
ia the one OF all that have ever
trodden the earth Of whom most has
been said and sung. This caused
men to accept Him as the son OF
the living God. the Saviour and Re
deemer OF the race.
have seen teachers who were
skilful as lesson givers, but as
teachers they were mere figures. or
themselves they could give nothinng;
they were void OF inspiration, and
were merely as sounding brass and
tinkling symbols. have seen stu
dents who never exercised energy of
mind or will enough to draw from
their teachers what was needed. Be
tween teacher and student there
should be an intimate psychic rela-
tionship that should bring into play
force not alone OF the mind but
OF the will.
We have long been told that men
are dual beings consisting Of body
and mind, but we learn now that they
are triple beings comprising body,
mind and spirit. and symmetrical
education will develop all three.
am sure you have seen physical
giants, men in whom the muscular
had been trained and overturned un.
til they were able to perform seem
ingly impossible feats, but whose
minds could scarcely be discovered
have seen just such monstrosities
lin the form of over trained minds
and neglected bodies. Neither type
OF man is the man needed In these
days that should be more precious
than fine gold; he is in the way.
Again we are triple beings in an
other sense. You remember DR..
Holmes friend John. The doctor
says there were three OF him-the
John that John knew; the John that
Johns friends knew very diff
fercnt being indeed,) and then there
was John that Johns God knew. oh
II these three could be merged into
one, or II the three should be SO
much alike that you could not tell the
one from the other, then we would
have man more to be desired than
the golden wedge Of ophir.
II was intended that We should eul-
itvate all our facuIties--u,st we
should develop, not mere.55 grew.
There 10 vital distinction between
the two processes which is too often
lost sight Of, Growth Is a process of
creation; q mere massing OF sub
stance. Development is an extern
sion, an expansion, an amplifica-
ton Of power. and we are placed
here not merely to grow, but to de-
velop in all Goodness, and the work
of the world is required at our
hands. and Is In part Goodness. To
be that kind of man with a char
acter void OF offence, and one that
shall endure and stand like a gran
lite shaft to guide others along the
road, we will have to avoid some of
the mistakes that have been made In
the past. In the first place be hap
Ply in your work and draw a distinc-
ton between happiness and pleas

genuine metal royal. Happiness
leaves no bad taste in your mouth
or the nauseating feeling that fol
lows the wrong kind of pleasure.
good man ought to be happy and will
be, for happiness is gift from God
