Lawes was asked as he sat In his
restful office with its panelled walls
and the motto, To err is human"
inlaid at the threshold.
Yes" he replied. Life is worth
living for a thousand and one rea-
sons. Life at best is short and it is
worth living as sporting PROPOSE
ton, If for no other single reason.
Life can be made eminently
worth while to any one who will
make it so. The extent to which 1t
is worth living is determined by
what and how much We put into
life. We can draw from the bank Of
life only if we put something into it.
Life can be defined only in
terms of growth and action as dis
tinguished from death which is stag
nation and decay. AS long, and eX-
actly in proportion as one grows,
and is active mentally. morally and
physically. life is worth while and
is worth living. When one deterior-
ates and stagnates, life becomes use
less, and relatively speaking, scarce
