The Guide Post
By Henry van Dyke
A Philosophy of Life.

For now we see in mirror, darkiy,
but then face to face; now I know in
part; but then shall l know fully
/ Cor. 1912.
Can q philosophy of words be out
lined in two hundred words?
Let me try.
The world of matter and spirit Is
the work Of an omnipotent, wise, low
ing Creator
In the natural world law reigns in
f1exfbiy; in the spiritual world, free
dom, an order that there may be other
spirits who voluntarily answer Gods
love and obey His wisdom.
By wrong choice man has fallen
under the power of evil and so be-
come separated from God and con-
sclous OF sin as no other creature is.
God loving man in spite of sin. re-
Veals himself to those who seek Him !:
chooses the wise and good to make
them by His spirit; and finally sends
His own Son, the eternal Word of
reason, to become true man in the
person of Jesus Christ, and to live
and suffer with and for men, thus re-
deeming the world
This redemption covers all who de-
sire 1t and wait for it, as we'll as
those who know it; the desire and the
knowledge are proved by the effort
to do good
The mingled conflicts. trials. sor-
rows, labors and joys of mortal life
are school to prepare the souls who
seek God for His gift Of Immortality.
This seems to me a reasonable view
or life for one who knows in part
1t leaves mysteries, but it satisfies
our lnnermoSt conviction that we are
somewhat more than dust and our
creator some one greater than blind
chance, and our destiny, If we will
have it SO, something better than ex-
tinction.

Labor Day.

This Monday my children is Labor
day. And what has this day to do with
you. whose whole duty in life is to play
and study and dance and sleep and
wake up to enjoy your good breakfast?
Everything in the world TO do with
you. If it were not for you there would
- be very few who labor today and none
at all to march in the proud parades
this Monday.
For people rarely, oh. very. very rare
ly, work for themselves. They work to
make a comfortable place for the chill
dren to grow III. Don't they? Of course
when | say work, now, | mean earnest
work, like building houses and running
engines and sweeping streets and writ
ing books and cooking dinners.
When you are tired doing anything
you stop and do something else. If
you are weary you.rest. If you don't feel
like going on with what you are doing,
YOU just stop, and that's all about that
OF course that is not working. When
one works in earnest, one goes on ana
on, even when it seems that another
motion will be beyond human effort.
Now people struggle like that to keep
going only when they have very strong
reason. Something outside of them
selves pulls them along and holds them

the least new about this. Fashion
able women in France as well as in
