precious personal contacts. He lived
IN his work and in his associations.
The master passion that had domi-
mated him in earlier years still
burned brightly. His own soul was
so strong and serene that 1t was
impervious to all hardships, in
chains he was still q conquering
hero. He would die, but his work
lived. -.-
without Fear Of Death.
once saw an octogenarian, a mo-
BILE man, in whose eyes was the ter
ror Of death. The end was ap-
preaching and he knew it, but he was
afraid to die. The supreme mystery
of the grave appalled, him. He had
not learned to say, with Paul the
aged, For to me to live is Christ,
and to die is gain" Paul confessed
himself in a strait twixt two-the
desire to depart and be with Christ,
and the desire to abide and continue
to serve his friends and his Master.
Paul had done a work that would
live for ages after his old gray head
had rolled in the dust of the Appian
Way. Therein we have q clue for
youth to follow. Early to give one
self to a cause that will abide. to
have created something constructive
in the world, to have lived for high
aims and noble achievement, to have
refused to be content with mere ex-
istence and transitory pleasure-that
insures an old age of peace. what
ever hardship may attend it.
Today is always followed by to-
morrow The content of tomorrow
will be the achievements of today.
Life accumulates. So the person who,
like Paul, fills his today to the brim
with life and service. finds himself
in old age drinking from the over
flowing cup. Memory then, instead
of being the handmaiden of re-.
morse, becomes the minister of
peace and gladness. The matchless
hero whose life we have been study
ing for three months beckons us to
live greatly in the now.
Ambitions at the End.
Like old Caleb, Paul was ambi-
tious to the very end He was con-
tent with his lot, but not satisfied
with himself. He was not willing to
sit complacently before the mirror
of his past achievements. Not that
I have already obtained. or am al
ready made perfect; but press on"
There is no limit or end to the
achievements of the Christian, in
character and in conduct
A dear old lady past 10, whom I
loved, had passion for self-im-
provement. She read helpful books.
From periodicals she was forever
clipping suggestions for better ways
of doing things-and especially
cooking-and of correcting faults
and acquiring virtues. She was
bound to grow better as she grew
older after the fashion of Paul.
Paul's overmastering passion was
Jesus Christ. For Him. and in Him,
he lived. He found Christ sufficient
for two worlds. Listen to the tri-
umphant paean of this battle
SCARED old warrior in the last of his
writings left to us:
Il have fought good fight. have
finished my course, I have kept the
faith: Henceforth there is laid up
for me a crown of Righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous Judge,
shall give me at that day; and not
to me only. but unto all them also
that love His appearing"

the aged, a great servant of God
and man who, at the close of
crowded years, met death at the
headman's ak serenely.
The theme is timely All the land
is a-clamor over old-age pensions.
We seem suddenly to have become
aware of the gravity and magni-
tude of this difficult problem Of the
aged. Yet none of our pension
schemes-some of them entirely
fantastic-touches the real issue of
old age. No legislature can devise
a plan for making the closing years
of life serene; they can only fur
nish physical security and comfort.
Youth and young manhood alone
can provide contented old age.
The life that has been lived, the
deeds that have been done, the
thoughts that have shaped char
acter-these determine the happi-
ness of the period that is dominated
by memories. A full and noble life
is better inheritance than riches.

youth to live a full life.
In the Club Chairs.
One of the pathetic sights of the
great cities are the group of old men
sitting and snoozing in luxurious
arm chairs in the expensive clubs.
They are through with real life;
and, though they shrink from say
ing so, they are really only waiting
for the arrival of the undertaken.
The rural counterpart is the old
men loafing in the country stores
and squares. Their lives have not
been such as to fill the closing years
with sunshine and service. The
grim irrevocableness of their lot
fairly makes one shiver.
