"Who knows," said' 1Tom y Ford
recently, "how much iuiman life may
bo lengthened before another century
is passed." Since the dawnof time,
well since the time we ,have any his-
tory of the human. raee, anyway,
men have been concerned about the
length of life and Old Testament
writers seemed to have the idea firm-
ly fixed in . the mind that long life
was highly desirable and something
to be strves for. Down .all the
years since then scientists have bee
endeavoring to find a way of length-
ening life and we in this age pay
high' honour to the man or woman
who has lived to be eighty, ninety or
one hundred years of age.
But, .after all, what is to he gained
by a few lengthened Years? We are
born into the world and attain to
manhood and womanhood in a score

iles usually see the third _generation
by the time they. are ffty, or sixty,
so 'then•"children are, able to look out
for themselves; their care i$ over
and, while they inay do many years
of useful work still, yet their ,pass-
ufg is not the calamity it would be
while their families are young.. From
sixty to eighty life may be both"°use-
ful and pleasant: if physical and'men-
tal health be prolonged, But vey
few people ever live to be ninety in
full possession of mental and physi-
cal health.
What T really am trying to point
out is that long life may not be the
real boon it has always been, sup-
posed to to be. When the best of
life is over we ought to be content
ot slip away and see what lies -be-
yond. I have often thought as I
came in contact .with very old peo
pel, people whose -families and friends
had nearly all gone on and whose
mental and, ,physical strength had
failed; who were lonely and childish;
whose interest in life had waned and
who were just waiting' for death, that
it was anything but a clearable state.
If I am so blessed as to have niy wish'
there will be no weary waiting for
death for me. I want to go while the
love of life is strong in ins; while I
am looking forward, not backward,
on life; while "nay eyes are not dim-
med nor' miy natural strength abat-
ed." I want to go while any interest
in the life beyond is keen; I want to
step out, fully, .conscious, into the
Great Adventure of the future life,
which I believe will be more absorb-
ing, more 'satisfying than this one,
wonderful and absorbing as it is,
could ever be. "A short life and
merry'one,". has its advantages and if
we substitute the word "busy" q
"full" for • "merry," it is ideal. A,
full, busy, useful life, then to be away
to gain again youth, to engage in
new endeavors, new interests in a
fuller, broader, more satisfying envir-
onment. That looks about rght to me.
But, while it is an open, question
whether or not length of days is an
unmixed blessing it is wholly to the
good,.it seems to me, that many years
have been added to life • during the
past -'couple of decades by the way
people have taken to keeping their
interest in life up to old age. It used.
to be that when the young folk grew,
up and were able to take the brunt. of
things that the old folk sat down and
allowed them to do it They relin-
quished their hold on affairs, often
to the extent of handing, over.all.
their substance to their children and
living ever after on the "charity" of
son or daughter. It was a miserable
way to live and the mother and fath-
er often lived to rue the day they
gave son or daughter all their pro-
perty. They do not do it so often
nowadays.Grandpa and Grandma
keep their own home, they manage
their\own affairs and keep young
spirited and happy doing it. They
go on visits to sons' and daughters
and keep the old home open, often, to
receive visits from them. But they
live their own lives,' have
their own interests and run a
far greater chance of retaining
their health. of hind and body in the
proeess. There is no surer way to
boredom, to the loss of mental vigor
and to a weariness with life than to
give up all interest in life and just
sit down to wait for the end. it were
far better to "die in harness" than to
live such an aimless and useless ex-
istence.
