First, look up. Men and womst

ments. Millions are looking down.
ward, not upward; they never Sea
beyond themselves, their shadova
and their interests; their outlook 3
narrow, partisan, contracted and sec.
tional, and, with their limited visios
and horizon, their ideals are deprsss
ing and debasing. Our vision should
be above and beyond and our lives
should not be mastered by the ma.
teriahstie, If We would have our Iva
crowned with the eoronet Of real
honor and power.
Second, live up. Every day
human life should Be nobIer, highsi
and better. II We are not living and
growing upward We are necessarily
sinking downward. There Is no such
thing as standing stiH. This prin.
ciple applies TO the material, mental
and moral man.
Third, lift up. Help the poor fsl.
low below you. By sympathetis
words, helpful acts lit up and sup.
port the weak, encourage the dis
couraged, illuminate the darksned
life. While lifting up others lift ~
yourself. While strengthening Others
you strengthen yourself. While
Frightening oVershadoWed lives you
bring the glory Of heaven into the
chamber Of your own soul.

REV. GEORGE A. MILLER.
Early in life one should form certaia
ideals. No life can count for mos
that does not have some objective {
toward which it is working. These
ideals should have to do with tbs
life here and that which is hereafter
The one great purpose Of life should
be that Of helpfulness. How can
render the greatest service to tn
world m general? No life is com
plete or can bring happiness thA
does not render q valuable service ID
others. Each life has two imperative
obligatiOns-loyalty to God and seryS
ice to mankind. Only as these ideal
are ever kept before the life can 4
truly fulfill its mission In the world
Only by laying stress upon these eal
true contentment and happiness
abound. Either neglected viii leavS
a void that cannot be filed by pleas
ure or selhshness- Life was NO
given to be fitted swsy IN q ma
rush for amusement. Happiness and
peace come only through loyalty b
God and service to our fellow men.
