The Master Teaches Men How to Make
the Most of Their Lives,
Because I live ye shall live also;
Sohn xiv, 19,
Life reaches out after more life. The
evidence of vitality is its appetite 'or
greater vitality. The higher the form of
life the stronger this ,passion, The
inanimate dust knows no desire, but
lee lowest form of lite conies under this
law that 11 Must grow from more to
more, Man most of all finds this within
lam, the root principle of his being, 1114
ho must either live a larger life or dle.
Religion has often failed to find re-
cepLfon: with reasonable sten beceuse it
neglected this principle, -'-IL has too often
said that the most religious man was
the ono who could make the least cf
htinself, the ideal was an answer to the
cry, "0 10 be nothing!" The preacher
tried, 'Empty yourself" — probably
meaning in pocket as well as in pride.
The churches cried against education,
ambition, and pleasure, against all that
would elllerge the life.
it was not strange that such an atti-
tude bred narrow characters, teen of
mean mends, cramped prejudice.., cap-
able of liltlenrsses tied biked to their
distorted cfaloi like righteousness, Small
\veneer, too, that the religion thatrob-
bed life of its beauty and 1nugitt against
primal Instincts found only
A SMALL PLACE IN LIFE.
It became the creed of the dead and not
or the livhtg; it fixed its eyes on graves
and yew trees, or on another world.
This world event on its way, Iruly a
wicked wry, for it lacked the saving cf
the inspiration to larger, nobler living
that the church should have given. Our
fathers unable to separate sanctity from
the odor of the sepulcher, cursed the
world for its vitality and knew not that
God was more likely to be In a world
that was alive than in a church that
was dead. Slowly have we come to
know Ihat the good news is a call to
the fullest, most glorious heritage of free
eternal life.
This is the gospel for to -day; the life
more abundant is open to all. One who
has shown us how to live, the Master
of the art of living, opens the door into
rho life dud aluno will satisfy the deep
desire; of our being, Ile who so en-
larged his lite that it broke the bounds
of his time and the borders of a Syrian
village until It covers all earth and all
time bullies 'ten (tow to make the most
of their lives.
Reiuemher how little he said of death,
how touch of lite. 'chine hew he called
lives out of heir shells, how hi' bruke
the limitations which. formation -1 set on
the lives of Wren, how he led into the
freedom of the truth, how he led the lit-
tle group of foiiuWers from their narrow
selves Into greet service, how many
have found greatness in this way since.
Ho caller to the good that was In
Alen, sleeping, but never dead; and
IT ANSWERED ITIS CALL.
Ile pointed out to the beauty of nature,
the joy of daily living, the glory of cote-
rmmplaces, the great world of spiritual
being as food and atmosphere for the
devetnpment of life. Ho pointed to the
life itse'f, the •oliaracter and soul of
man, es the ideal atm, as contrasted
with the furniture and as
of life.
A man 6 pied„ a man is worthy ac-
cording to what he is and not accord-
ing to what he is not. • The life ap-
proaches the divine ideal not by its de-
pletion but by Its development. Relig-
ion is not the setting of a fence about
the dally path; It is the obtaining of a
new and nobler force in the life, with
new strength striking out for more
glorious ends.
Whatever leads a man into larger
life, whatever widens the circle of his
sympathies, his service, his knowledge,
or enriches his mind and makes him
worth more to the world, is truly religi-
ous. Whatever limits the life, narrows
the soul, is from below. The lord of
life did not set in man the law of
growth into larger life with the Inten-
tion of finding pleasure only in mock-
ing and obstructing it. If man be in his
likeness, who shall set the limits of his
lite? Into the glory from whence be
came he must return.

they never saw a balloon going so fast.
