This life is like a school for the education and development of the spiritual nature in each man, in order to fit him to take full advantage of the new opportunities and larger life to come. This life is the primary school in which are to be learned tne lessons that fit man for the higher department to follow. Without taking the fullest advantage of the opportunities offered in this primary grade he is in no condition to understand or to take part in the work of the next department, or to share in the development which it is intended to bring. . The man who has neglected the-needs of his spiritual nature has not only overlooked the main purpose of life, but he has missed its greatest rewards. The beast of the field, if supplied with food and warmth, has physical content, but he is incapable of happiness The man who follows the desires and impulses of the flesh and is wholly absorbed with the things of the physical world may, like the beast, sometimes have a kind of animal con tent and satisfaction, but he is incapable of feeling real happiness. The intellectually developed mart has a higher enjoyment than i x i i .ul j i uu, uut reai nappiness is reserved ior me man wun a devel oped soul. His spirit is attuned to the melody of the spiritual universe. He feels the thrill of the inspiration that comes from the Great Center Life of the creation. . The unselfish love of God is swelling in his heart, bringing its priceless blessings. Every moment brings a joy which the unspiritual man can not know. And while enjoying the present he can look forward and upward with hope aye, with certainty and trust in his God, and know that all is well here and now and always. Whatever the world may think of it, his is the successful life. It is the only truly suc cessful life there is. s , (Copyright by San Jose Mercury) Our ideas of life change with our development. Each succes sive stage in the development of the individual brings its ambitions and interests and changes its. purposes and viewpoint, until ma turity comes, when the so-called frolics of childhood and youth are left behind and the man is absorbed in the avocations and ambi tions of the average normal man. But how much better is the ordi nary man employing his time than does the child or youth? He spends nearly all of his time" in his business, in the making of money, in solving his professional problems or in the prosecution of great industrial enterprises. He measures the success of his life in dollars and cents, 'and gets his satisfaction largely, if not entirely, f rorft. the purely physical results he is able to accomplish. Rarely indeed does man spend much time in thinking of, studying or striving for those finer, deeper, diviner things, without which the most active, prosperous and influential life is little better than a miserable failure. . But there is here no attempt to belittle business or any useful occupation by which men make an honest livelihood or work the modern business miracles. All of these things are mightily im portant to society as well as to the individual. "He that provideth not for his own household is worse than an infidel says the very highest authority. He that does not discharge faithfully and con scientiously the physical and worldly duties that life brings to him is in no attitude or condition to properly discharge any higher ones. No person, neglecting his first dutysto himself and his fam ily, to go into the world in an effort to reform or regenerate it, ever amounted to much as a preacher or reformer or got much satisfaction or reward out of, life. . - ) Most people have not learned that man is endowed with three , distinct natures, the physical, the intellectual and the spiritual; -and -that symmetrical and harmonious development of the individ ual is impossible unless all three of these natures are given proper . action and attention. Without this symmetrical and harmonious ' development no one can become as efficient as he may and should be and accomplish what he might accomplish industrially, intel lectually or spiritually. ;;;' .

And that "one" was Wilson. The Salem slogan pages on next Thursday will tell of the great ben efits' this city and section are re ceding through the national adrer- tislng campaigns. The bishops of the Angelican Church, at their meeting at Lambeth. England, defeated the resolution to abolish sermons. And we had hoped so much for relief in that direction. EL Louis shoe manufacturers an nounce a cut of from SO cents to $2 a pair for shoes. A clothihg manu facturer says a 20 per cent cut Is coming, and employes in the latter trade are being laid off. Wheat la down, flour is down, and sugar Is oft another notch. That all sounds good and healthy. The peak has passed. In many lines there should be reductions, and In the lines men tioned further reductions. Paoer ought to sell for less than halt.pree ent prices. It would be a bad thing for the country if there were a panic In prices.
