Many persons complain that they
do not really live; they only exist.
Here we have, in the truth of sur
render and stewardship and service,
the secret of how to make life
bubbling, flowing spring; a perennial
source of satisfaction.
BY this interpreta ton, man is sent
into the world with powers and pos
sibilities for development. His chief
end is to fulfill his capabilities of
growth and of service Because he
partakes of the Divine nature. he has
been given Divine mission. His own
soul-Stature depends upon his accept
ance Of responsibilities commensurate
with his character. A pregnant word
of wise old Paul-one Of the few ex-
plclt statements in Scripture of why
Christ was offered up on the cross
puts the principle thus, in his second
letter to the Corinthians (5:l5): He
died for all. that they that live should
no longer live unto themselves, but
unto Him who for their sakes died
and rose again" And, of course. to
live for Christ is to live for man: IN
asmuch as We did it unto one of the
least of these. We did it unto Me"
A Pastime or a Purpose
SO life is not a pastime, but pur-
pose. We take it by the handle when
we grasp 1t as Gods gift, meant to
be used for its highest ends. In the
teachings of Jesus, life is a talent to
be employed. This stewardship con-
ceptlon, which runs through all of
the Bible, puts power into living. 1t
not only saves the spirit from pes
simism and discouragement. and from
the whitening blight of aimlessness,
but it also lifts it up to the divine
level With Jesus, the person who has
devoted himself to this sacred con-
ceptlon Of life may say. reverentlv.
The Father worketh hitherto, and
I work" The talent-man finds him.
self TO be in unity with the universe,
in league with the stones of the
fields" bound up in the bundle of
Gods Will. Existence yields its sweet
est secrets to those persons who have
apprehended this primary significance
OF life, As talent to be possessed and
employed and increased. in RESPONSE
bility to a wise Fathers will.
There is no other failure in life
greater than this, to fail to accept our
place and our possessions and our
possibilities as a divine trust as
commission from the Creator. Self
conferences is always, as in the case
OF the one-talent man, defeat. The
sense OF service and of trusteeship
always inspires to true success. The
selfish soul loses what it has, the
steward soul increases in capacity
and in possession and in honor.
We have life by the handle when
we lift it as a libation cup to be
poured out and not as a draught to be
drained.

principal answers. only one of which
is true. That given by the rebellious
spirits of the present generation is tc
use life as toy. Play with It, toss it
idly about. f1out it, break it. throw it
away, and by no means regard it
seriously.
This may be called the Smart
Aleck" philosophy. which disdains any
serious or comprehensive attitude to-
ward life. Its program is to live for
the moment and to satisfy every de-
sire that is near and noisy. Whatever

Meeting Life Man-Fashion.
There is another and truer answer
for those who would take hold of life
by the handle. 1t is expressed in all
the storedup literature and lore of
the race; but best in holy writ. 1t is
the toplc Of the lesson, AS set forth
by Jesus after His Caesarea Philippi
experience. This principle is that
every mans life has opportunities and
obligations outside himself. In the
Christian conception. life is a mission.
a responsibility. stewardship. 1t is
a talent entrusted to us bv God. for
the use and increase of which we are
accountable
In the form of a paradox. the
Master. as reported in our lesson bv
Mark, expressed this great truth:
"Whosoever would save his life shall
lose it; and whosoever shall lose his
life for MY sake and the gospels
shall save it. For what doth it profit
a man to gain the whole world and
forfeit MS life?"
