Life grows more and more complex and . more unbeautiful as man allows himself to become engrossed with the affairs and worries of the physical life and neglects ,..the piritaal. Life that might be fair and beautiful glares -with cgliness. v - , v " ' "wfi tsrff' ?llan seeks happiness but never finds it until he turns t "from the false glitter and show to true beauty, to the purity " and goodness he may find in his own heart, to tlje homeliness of commonlpace duties, to aspiration and reverence for the Spirit of love and truth and virtue. u. . . , , ;r Beauty is an everlasting principle that cannot die The I beauty that appears in the perishable flower does not fade with the natural ife .of the blossom but lives on. Beauty T cf sea and mountain and desert is an immortal principle that blesses for a time these physical forms, and when they Change beauty lives on in some other form. The life center" or soul of the blossom lives eternally and beauty glorifies it and is reflected in the material. As the soul lives on when the physical form dies its beauty lives as an inherent part, of 'its life. .. '. j ' It is well for man to lift his eyes unto the hills and w beyond to the stars in the heavens; it is well for him to become aware of treasures far greater than those he so 'jealously hoards, the truths and principles and powers and rewards so immeasurably transcending all that he has before comprehended or experienced. As he gains knowledge of these higher possessions a blessed humility descends upon his vain spirit. . : ' . ; Simplicity, singleness of purpose, humility, unselfish ness that claims nothing' for itself that may not be for all, distinguish the life beautiful from mere hpysical ex istence. The one ; great purpose of life is to increase the goodness and love .of God in the heart of humanity. The way is straight and clean and true.'; The life of the spiritual man radiates purity from a shining soul. From its abund ance it supplies ever yearning, hungering soul that asks for spiritual food. - i Without the vision of beauty life is sordid. . Without hope of a greater outlook, , of a wider field of - labor and service, beauty fades. Before we know the realities of life we live in our dreams. Before we build our true home we fash ion a castle in the air. I We add a tower here and a beautiful window there, we train a blossoming vine over a porch and plant more flowers in the garden until our airy castle is all that imagination can desire. This is beneficial if we realize that we must make our dreams come true and set to work with a will to build up realities where ideals have been. The habitation of the spirit, not made with hands, eten al in the heavens is the beautiful home that we build by bur noble thoughts, our unselfish deeds, our self denial, by the overcoming of wrongs and weaknesses that mar our beauty of character. . . , . Love is a great universal sun that puts life and warmth and color into hearts that are dead and ugly without it: it animates and glorifies and beautifies the most sodden exis tence; the latent good bursts into glorious bloom under its lifegivmg rays; shadows and gloom are dispelled. Its inner light .makes the whole nature aglow with beauty as the set ting sun touches with radiance and color the heavy gray clouds in the western sky. titude toward the blessing of daily labor, conditions for bet ter understanding between-brother and' brother might, he im proved. ' . . ; , Amid all the beauties that nature surrounds 'us with we need the example of the life beautiful We need the strengthening influence of lives that in spirit and achieve ment fulfill our. ideals. ' ' ' ' . . V "The Spirit may approprite all good; all the beauty of the universe. may pass-within you and abide; all the pic tures in the mind may be of surpassing loveliness; the light that dwells, within may be above the shining of the sun. We should look, then, to the spirit that is in us, that the light in-us be not darkness.' .

There can be no high unfoldment without love, and love is active Back of every high accomplishment is the force of a great love m the heart- love of humanity, love of all good, love of God the source of all good, love of work itself as the ex pression of active love and goodness. In work of this sort there is an exhilaration that pushes one happily and joyfully on to its completion. The faithful performance of so-called trivial duties beautifies each task. To be careless or neglect ful of the smallest link in the chain of homely, daily duties is impossible because the harmony, and order , in one s work would be destroyed. Love works only in harmony and the work is the perfect expression of love only as it is done har moniously. -i The supreme joy in such labor is the consciousness that constructive results are being reached that would have been lacking had this particular labor not been put forth. A live ly interest in the-work seems to fire every muscle and nerve to double efficiency in its performance, 'and makes ; every effort a delight far keener than one can know when he is working alone for the compensation it brings him. Love in the heart makes one solicitous for others, and urges him on to help and to relieve them in every way pos sible. Enveloped and saturated and controlled by love the soil of the heart is made fertile, the air that one breathes is electrified and energized by love, and the petty desires that move one who has not this greatest of all possessions are all swept away by the power of the flood from the living foun tain. " . ' i , If the world, could learn the joy of work done under the spiritual law instead of the law of selfishness much of the misery in life would be overcome. If the trouble makers would cease to cry out their warning of disaster to those who per form their full measure of labor and cry twice as loud to warn them of the peril of selfishness and greed and a wrong at- ' :: (,!.. : . t "A, . . - ' - . . - , '-..:.

" KEEP, YOUR HEAD A French publicist was Invited to address a large number of chil dren from the elementary schools of an .American . city. ' Walking luickly onto the stage, he com menced spealcing In his own tongue and then smiling at the bewildered children " he said, in perfect English. "You do not un derstand me; do you?

A REMARKABLE OFFER .Take it from ye pastor: Some great things may have been . ac complished by excitement or des peration, or wild impulse, but you needn t be particularly wise or observing to know that most is accomplished by the man who re- la na his mental poise; '"keeps his head." I once . saw a weak I swimmer become exhausted while beyond his depths and saw strong swimmer go readily to his rescue. The drowning man for got what he knew; that it is easy to carry another in water, if the dne carried submits willingly and intelligently. Therefore, a strug gle followed when the two met in hich a double tragedy was avert ed only by the fact that the strong swimmer kept his head, fought better and knocked out h's oppon ent, after which he carried him to shore. Had both been cool it would have been easy . and had both become excited It would have been impossible. And the rule applies as well to the other than physical trouble. The fate which seems to have you down and out can be thwarted If you "keep your head." If you do the best you know. Instead of merely wasting time in useless worry and anger. And this trait, or habit will stand tfultlvaCIon which will - bring it within the range of possibilites j even- for impulsive,, nervous or weak-kneed persons. Arkansaw Thomas Cat. . ' THE' HOTEL- CHAPEL The fact that there Is a chapel in the new Biltmore hotel prompts a newspaper to remark that this 's . the last word in. luxury in re ligion. It adds that "it Is a lazy religion that needs chapels in ho tels." Not necessarily. It is in serene conformity with the grow ing idea of taking religion into the business world."

The poet St. Pol Roux has written an article stat ing that he has the name of a prominent foreign writer who has offered one of his eyes for the painter, if enrgeons feel that they can successfully graft it. The man desires that his name be kept from the public, but will gladly meet any- surgeon to discuss the prospects of a successful opera tions His great devotion to art is given as the reason for his ex traordinary offer, as the. painter Is virtually unknown to him. Various experiments on some of the ; lower animals, in the way of eye grafting have been pro nounced successful, but it 1s not known whetner they could be car ried out on a human being. No surgeon ever dreamed of the pos sibility, of securing an eye from another person to give to Che blinded one, having confined their experiments to transferring the eyes iof animals, preferably a calf's, to the afflicted person. There are no records of these op erations being successful. If the transference of th journalist's ' Wit. HAM COOPER' PROCTER.

THE STORY OF A BRAVE DOY RULER When Charles XII was crowned king of Sweden in 1697, the coun try - feared for its safety, for Charles was only 15, and the peo ple knew that Denmark. Russia and Poland would think it a good time to trjr to seize -the. Swedish possessions. ' The new king wa3 a healthy boy who loved outdior life and adventure. When he was 18, the enemies gathered ' their forces and advan ced on the Swedish provinces. ' To the f great joy- 'of his people,. Charles was roused to action. He rode to the head of his army, cheered his soldiers with his en thusiasm, and led them against their antagonists. 'Charles soon proved ' that he was not only brave, but that 'he was a. military genius as well. Denmark-was defeated, and then Poland. In his first attack Russia, although he was outnum bered three to tone. he. gained a 1 victory. As he advanced further into Russia, suffering great hard ships, and. losing many men, ,he was finally defeated by Peter .the Great.. ; . He was forced to flee to Turkey wierehe tried unsuccessfully for five years to regain what he had lost. .';;.;'::.' " - . v-. .He would not give up his coun try's cause.' He was not the weak. Indifferent ruler that his .people had thought he would be. When he was 36 he led an attack against Denmark.

'Mrs. Jones won't want him tear ing up the sod in her yard as he has in ours." Andso Dix was securely tied in their own front yard and the children went off to 5 xr r7 '.... play hide and seek. ; ."' They had been playing only a 6hort time when Dix marched into the Jones' yard. " "Buster Clark, did you untie him?" his sister Helen demanded. "Take him right back. Ton " know what Mother said." "I didn't let him loose." Bus ter insisted, "but I saw Uohn un there." ... " . , John shook his head. ' "Wily, I. didn't do it. But I bet I know who did." He pointed to his younger sister. "I- saw Crac coming out of our yard" ; J "But I was only hiding there. I didn't untie him. It must have been Helen, or' maybe Dix did it himself." AH the children went back home to see that he was properly tied. They were deep in ?. their same some time later, when Dt appeared on the scene once more. "Well, he didn't untie himself this time, that's sure." Helen, de clared. "Buster, If you think thl is a joke you're badly mistaken Take him home." "Honest; lelen," tears came to the little boy's eyes. "I didn't do it." He looked at his older bro ther accusingly but John did not notice. He was still insisting that Grace had done it. .. This time Helen took him back alone. She tied the' knot harder than ever. "I'm going to hide up here too and catch Busier,- she decided. v i- -.v. 'If I can catch John ho i-sn'f deny it," Buster thought. ' 'TV. hide up there and keep an eye cz him." John decided to do t same to Grace and Grace still pecting j Helen thought she wc 1 ' proTe it. V So the next game each one c the Clark children kept his eajla eye on the one he suspected. They were all so busy watching that they forgot about the game. As Peter Jones caught them one by one they were astonished to dis cover that Dix was loose again! ,'JWell, it wasn't Buster that time," Helen had to admit. The others, shook their heads, too.lu hadn't been the one they suspect ed. "It's Peter," they decided. "He's- trying to play a Joke on US.". " ' r"-. :-:. ' I : " But Peter shook his head. "No, Indeed," he insisted. "I wouldn't let him loose. Mother doesn't like to have him run in the yard." Dix smiled his queer pony smile out of the corner of his mouth as they led, him back.
