THE PURPOSE OF LIVING
Living Only for VVealth and Wages
Is Not Living at AIL
"Glorify GOd in your body." -L CM.
v1„ 20,
The early question of the old creeds,
meet re Ise met elle sr men ee was
conceived In a spirit More practical than
academic, 11 wns the voice of the con -
slant, inquiry as to the purpose of living.
But the ansever given by the creed lacks
the assuranee of a moral conviction; it
fails to fInd eny response in us. "To
glorify God and to enjoy him forever"
may be Um portMn or angels, but honest
men have to onfess that they hove no
sreat desire lobo remelt, yet. .
The emphasis of, the creed with ihat es
basis practically was on dying ra-
ther than 011 living; It owed whatevek
grip .11 had on men to the proinise it
held, lo those who evereth the midst of
the sordid round of taske or the dull,
heavy grind of poverty, of a felicilude

pain; it offered a heaven forever to
those who out(' endere e hell for a

To say to a man, be patient with

Roll now it never will find itself, that
to dwarf a soul to -day is to dwarf 11
forever.
The chief end of life will be found in
life itself, now, presene in this world.
The only way lo make the mast of the
future is to make the most of ourselves
in the present. If heaven be the land
of unlimited happiness only hearts that
