Edison says lie feels that he is in middle atre. He regards "throe and ten" as unimportant and four score as by no means the limit. Yet he does ad mit that he has slowed down a hit He even goes to sleep instead of staying all night at the plant and resting a few hours on a couch. Becuu.se Edison has been possessed of remarkably rapid recuperative powers so that he could get along with little sleep has been due much of his ac complishment. He was able to work so many hours a day that he-lived at least twice Ins years, gauged by the time devoid to work by the average individual. His physique has matched his mental equipment. The ideal of ancient Greeks was a sound mind in a sound body. Edison has givetMifi an example of a superior mind in an unusually strong body and the physical equipment was not subordin ate to the mental. It provided a perfect combination. But Edison has had more than either of these. He has had in dustry and persistence. No matter how great the brain j or strong the body, unless these arc used they are ot no accounCThey are but instruments 'for a purpose and the purpose'is achieved only by the expenditure of effort. As far as wealth or achievement are concerned, Edison might have retired long ago. Many take that step long before the age of 76V Few persist longer. That he has worked on may be the very reason that he feels he is only in middle age. Breaking habits long established may be attended with serious results, and many a man. has short ened his life bv (iiiitting too soon the employment in which his active years were spent. Most people, however, cannot travel at the pace set by Ellison. They have not the facil ity in recuperation and must sleep longer. 1 hey have not the physical strength to labor such long hours. They are not Edisonsy -but that does not argue that they do not fill a useful place in the world. ! ! The .

This article tells of a pie-Columbian civilization in Mex ica and I have a little information which will shed more light on these discoveries. The Book of Mormon, the only book in existence that (rives a true history of the ancient inhabitants of America, contains the Divine declar ation that this land is "choice above all other lands," and that it was his design that it should be reserved for the habitation of righteous peo ple. Certain it is that this choice land was kept (hid from the nations of the eastern continent' until a few centuries ago, and chosen people only were permiueu to occupy it alter tne flood, until recent times.

HARDING they all spoke alike; God talked with His prophet and instructed him tr lead the little band of faithful men and women, descendants of Shem (who held the priesthood), on a long journey to a choice land, where he would make of them .a great na tion. At first they traveled north ward, subsequently traveling- east and across Asia to the Pacific ocean. Ther they remained four years pre paring, for a voyage to the promised land. They built eight barges, ac cording to inspired instructions giv en, in which they placet! a supply of provisions for themselvea 'andtlieir domestic animals and fowls;' also seeds of grain and fruits, and other things they might need. The vessels were made water-tight, except that openings were made for the admis sion of air- There were no window? to give light. That they might not be in darkness during the voyage, the prophet prepared sixteen small stones, and asked the Lord to touch t Ithem, that they might shine and give light in the vessels. This the Lord did. Preserved and guided by the pow er of God, their vessel drifted 344 days across the Pacific ocean to the j coast of Central America where they j disembarked and, atter giving thanks to God, they commenced to till the earth, and prepared to take posses sion of the goodly land to which they had been so providentially brought. This was about 2,200 B.
