Standard Of Value.

New Orleans Cliristian Adroeate1
We suppose that no absolute stand
ard Of value for all the things OF life,
material, intellectual, and spiritual,
can ever be established, but we can al
ways insist upon proper appOrtiOn-
ment of relative values that will put
first things first The money standard
can be made to apply strictly only to
material things, and any attempt to
measure intellectual and spiritual val
ues by this standard can result only I'm
confusion. The recent suggestion Of
prominent business man OF Chicago
that there IS too much education and
that the best way to restore the equili-
brfum Of compensation between teach
ers and manual labOrers Is to kill OF
some Of the teachers, Is, of course, to
be taken facetiOusly. One trouble with
the world is that there Is too little
education instead of too much. We
need to get It out OF our heads that
money represents the sunlnlnM bOnum
OF life. The questions, 8" What Ii It
worth p !" What did 1t sOsty' What
will it pay?" are based upon a con-
ceptiOn Of value that is, ut best, purely
material and that leaves out Of account
the things that endure forever. We
needtO get the point Of view Of Moses,
who esteemed 1.-THE reproach Of Christ
greater riches than the treasures In
Egypt; for he had respect unto the
recOmpense Of reward" It b everlast-
ingly true that a man IL not rich In
what he has, but in what he Is.

there Is poetry in this phrase, espe-

The path out Of the world and its noise

question OF q great farm, but Of ln In
telligent farmer. Life Yields today a
rich return from bits OF ground which
We're once regarded as too small for
use. There are great industries in
which the profits are drawn from by
products, once counted as so much
waste.
It is a day OF great things in point
Of magnitude but of still greater things
in skillful use and Development. "A
distinguished teacher Of philosophy

Two men of business met In one
: of the streets of New Orleans
Twas Carnival day, and the flood
tide Of Maskers and merry makers
swept by, glittering with color and
mad with mirth. Strangely enough,
during the conversation between
these two, a passing allusiOn was
made by one to a scriptural text
to illustrate the business matter
under discussion.
The face Of the other man wore
reminiscent look as he said:
The other day took dinner with
q friend and when we were seated
at the table, a child Of five years
put up his little hands and asked
his dear Lord to bless the food.
My heart sweiled with emotion AZ
thought Of my own childhood
days, when my good old Presby-
terian mother taught me OF God
and Bible history. And then my
thoughts swept over the interven-
ing years OF hard business strug-
gles-each year taking me further
away from her teaching until now
ann as Won know nle--a hard
hearted old business man, doubt
Ing and putting everything to the
acid test. But / can't get away
from that little fellow with the MP
lifted hands and his little prayer
at the dinner table, find myself
thinking aud longing for the faith
and trust my mother taught me.
