People may fltid it hard to bellev
when surrounded with everv luzurv,
that the money In the bank may mint
day suddenly melt away like a snow
drift in the spring sun. But It bap
pens so soiutttmes. And poverty ii
most unkind to those wbo have onc
known opulence. Ten years ago Jas B
Ledydon was one of the wealthy men
of Boston. He was a broker, rated at
least a balf million. But tbo panic of
'88 cleaned him out and left bin) pen
niless aud brckeu la spirit. His abili
ties aeem to have been atrophied, for
he never got up In finance again. The
other day he was arrested In New
York for permitting hia children to
peddle on the streets. For two years
he had been living In a small miserable
room, supported wholly by bis two
daughters, aged 11 and 5, wbo sold per
fumery. A 13-year-oldboy Is In the
Juvenile asylum. Now, broken hearted
and disgraced, the once rich man lies
in prison, separated from his children
and charged with violating a city ordi
nance. It U a pathetic but significant
rebuke to the Ins lence of wealth.
People are apt to entertain the Idea
that if they can only get rich they are
flied for this world, if not for the next.
Usually, a man who loves money well
enough to accumulate a big fortune
loves It well enough to cling to it. But
not always as this case and many an
other testify. Money Is a nice thing to
have, but It Is not a safe thing to
fasten one's life ambition upon or to
pin all of one's hopes to.
While they are talking In Bostot
about the length of the college course,
consider one thing: Why is It that
civilized man arrives at maturity so
much later than tbe savage? An Atbka
Aleut is an independent bunter. and
perhaps a married man, at 10. A Tahi
tian sets up a sort i t group life with
other Tabltlans of his own age when
he Is 8 or 9. A Khursur In the Caucasus
begins a civic and military life In his
ninth or tenth year. Meanwhile, what
Is happening to the civilized child? He
is still a child. He is slowly gathering
up In himself the inherited experience
of a long line of civilized ancestors. He
cannot arrive at maturity so early as
the savage because he has so much
more to learn. The accumulated ex
perlence of his race cannot be acquired
by him in the first decade of his life.
He Is fortunate if he has acquired It.
or any appreciable part of It, at the
end of three decades. It is this "pro
longation of Infancy" that gave John
Kiske so much material for study and
discussion. Without such a prolongs
tlon. aid Flake, the human race coiill
never have reached Its present position.
As the human heritage of civilization
becomes greater and greater tbe period
which the human child must spend in
assimilating this heritage will become
longer and longer, and human infancy
will stretch farther and farther toward
middle age. Listen, therefore, to Pres
ident Harper at tbe convention of the
National Educational association when
be speaks about a two year college
course. Listen to President Eliot when
he speaks about a three year course.
Listen to President Butler when he,
speaks about a dovetailed liberal plus
a professional course. These educator
are not only exposing tbe tumultuous,
weltering cbaos of modern educational
thought; tbey are also drawing atten
tion to one of tbe greatest problem of
modern society. How shall tbe modern
prolongation of Infancy, which keeps
a man in college till he Is 23 and defers
bis marriage till be Is 30, be prevented
from becoming too great a burden and
exasperation both to society and to tbe
man himself. On the one side there ia
the obvious fact that long course of
study are necessary for tbe acquisition
and assimilation of all tbe selsotlnc,
political, socisl. and ethical elements of
modern life. On tbe other side stand
the equally obvious fact that a man
may be kept so long at bis studies that
before be baa begun really to live be la
past hi physical anl psychical prime.
How are these two fact to be recon
ciled? The Novelty Had Worn OIT
A good Indirect comment on tb
American Idea that a Jive man is a
live workman is contained In this
from the Chicago News:
"Your father must be getting along
In years," said the city cousin.
"Yes; he's night on to eighty-nine."
"Is his health good?"
"No; he hasn't been right pert for
some time back."
'What seem to be the matter with
hlru?"
"I dunno. I guess farming don't
agree with him any more."

FHE FEVER OF I.IKK
By Krr. ftrcv 0fea, 0. P.
"And He came and took her by the
land and lifted her up and immediate
ly tbe fever left her and she minis
tered unto them." St. Mark I., 31.
There are few who will, deny the
(act that life in the great centers of
.ndustry Is for the majority ten times
nore of a burden than anything else,
ind this not from lack of the nei-es-laries
of life, but from the strain and
tension which in net tc undergone to
lecure the means of subsistence. It
I not that the number of hours of
:he day's labor has increased, but that
he amount of work per hour in great
r. The facilities for lessening the
Irudgery of work have made a great
er demand uoii the attention and
iklll in producing the work.
Every faculty must be trained and
ilert If the intricate and delicately ad
lusted machine Is to be kept running
imoothly; every nerve must be on ten
ilon lest there be failure to supply
;us never-ceasing demands of the ra
pacious monster tbat throbs aud pants
ind files around In one ceaseless
rhlrl. Work Is done at high pres
sure. It Is compressed. It is Intense,
.'t has been relieved of wearisome de
tail, and only the essence of labor is
ft.
Thus it happens that, while labor is
ot so exacting as regards time, it
lemands far more concentration. The
Dulk has been reduced, but the con
tents have been Increased. This is
true also of other departments of our
uodern life. Education has become
l test or the ability to store up the
nost information in the least possible
time.
And so it is with the social life of
the present age. The question of
pleasure has become absorbing. The
.bing Is no longer a means to an end;
it has become the end itself. People
live for pleasure. They exhaust ev
try energy In tbe pursuit of pleasure.
Society hag become more and more
artificial. Simplicity and informality
ire two words not to be found In the
Sictionary of modern society. Tbe life
of the present generation is more
complex, more exacting, more intense
than of any former age. Our civiliza
tion has developed a malady hitherto
unknown, and no better term can be
found to describe It than to call it the
fever of life. t
Now, where shall we find tbe rem
edy? Certainly not out of the condi
tions tbat have produced the disease.
There I no Indication from the state
of thing tbat the remedy for the sick
ness will be found in the life of which
It bas become a part, and It is useless
to expect that tbe trouble will dls-
ippear of Itself. On the contrary, it
seem to be taking firmer hoM.
"Tb strenuous llf" I phrase
witb which w are ill now familiar,
tnd wbieb we all admit is a true de
scription of tbe present wsy of exist
ing. Tbe question of tb boor is, "What
can be doo to euro this disease-this
fever of life which threatens to con
sume tbe vitality of tbe present gen
eratioa? Christianity points to the

'orm tbe mlrarle of healing, and that

Ob, that those wbo call themselves
Bis witnesses and messengers would
ay stress on this truth that Jesus
Christ has come to tescb men how to
live. He has come to restore tbe
world to health, to free it of the bond-
ige of death, to cure it of all Its sins.
Its spiritual sickness.
The world to-day lies sick of a fe-
rer. It will never enter Into full jter-
fectlon of Its life until It looks to Je
ms, who has come to give it life. He
s waiting to put His cooling, life giv
ing touch on the fever-tossed sufferer
ind to give It strength to rise up and
perform its task. Both by teaching
ind example He ha given mankind
the example of the perfect life. Just
In proportion as the world acceuls this
itandard will It receive the more abun
dant life which is Its inheritance.
Jesus I the Interpreter of life. He
holds the secret of tbe life which In,
is well as the life which Is to come.
We don't know bow to live, and we
will go on blundering and wearing
ourselves out until we take Him as
our exemplar. Tbe fever of life Is the
result of our experiment with tbe
things that ought to make for our
happiness. Somehow we cannot get
tbe right proportion, and Instead of
receiving Joy and peace and a larger
life from oar use of the mixture, we
Sod ourselves weak and feverish and
tick at heart.
Let u go to Him and take III life
for oar example. Let us note what
things He counted preclons and what
things Ha rejected aa harmful to tbe
tool. Let as accept Him aa the way
and the troth and the life, and Ha
will eater tbe room In which we are
aaw lying lck of tbe fever of life

Civilization has use for the money

only Instrument and not tb end. Th

that peuetrstes through tbe mints of

right to ssk of us, What do yo,u do If
for and how do you do It? In tbd
perspective of life the 'words "pro
pertty and "success" are words of no
tiignlricance. They condemn perhaps
more often than they commend. A. (
ilaruswortb. the proprietor of the Lon
don Dally Mail and thirty other pa
Ien ant magazines, io reported to
lmve said: "As to the word 'success,
I detest it. The more I see of success
the better I like failure. How many
earnest, brave men one meets, men of
splendid bend anil heart, who lack the
small combination of fortune or wits
that brings money and reputation.

n iihi people can success s a rioor

Taken as a whole. succesfal men are

It might be added tbat the oppor
tunlty which lyings the so called sue
cesse of life oftentimes contains as
one factor a dull conscience, tbat Is
ssed from nice discrimination of
duty; a cold heart, not susceptible to
the holy agonies snd divine sympa

soul. The true perspective of tbe
business man puts tb final test be
yond the banker's footing, beyond b's
bonds and his real estate. Sooner or
later. In health or In sickness, In Joy
o" In sorrow, in triumph or defeat. In
time or eternity, the business man's
money will b put into this longer per
spective of (lod, and will be Judged,
not only by the motive and the meth?
od by which It was acquired, but by
tb-s end to which It was devoted and
the condition in which the fortune
leaves the fortune-maker.
the same delusion goes with the
word "prosperity" as with tbe word
"success." Is be prosperous who
starves his heart In order to feed bis
stomach? Is be prosperous who lose
hi Ieep in order to find hi's business?
Is he prosperous who Is Impaled upon

martyrdom like St. Lawrence on his

ii i ignorance gives way to
knowledge and fear becomes love that,
religion becomes expressed n higher
terms until It reaches the highest point
tbe educated men of to-day know
which la faith in a moral government
of tbe universe. The men who Is pon
esseo or this ralth know no feor, be
freely od boldly doe tbst which hi
hand finds to do. never questioning but
what It will be well with blm in the
end.
But this progress means a constant
change in the element of belief, a
shifting from lower to higher Idesls.
Men have never laid aside th great
problems of life. We preachers some
times feel that because men have in a
men sure deserted (be church that they
ha vp also deserted their religion,
but It Is because we do not un
derstand. Men feel today that re
ligion Is human helpfulness and be
cause they have mistaken the effect
for the cause It doe not Impugn tbeli
honesty.
The difference ns a religion between
heathenism and Christianity Is tbe hu
man element of Christianity. The
words of John, "he w ho loveth not bis
brother whom he hath seen, how can
he love fJod. whom he hath not seen,"
have gradually won upon tbe Chris
tlau conscience until to-day they nr I
dominant. The result la that charity!
and brotherly love prevail to a greatei'
degree than ever before. It may in
tbat in the aroce personal righteous
ness baa becomo less, but tbe next step
in progress la for men to see that any
form of evil, even of the inot personal
nature, la an offense againat human
ity. It Is through new knowledge that
new Ideals aia formed. Oat of pres
ent anrest better things sbtll come.
Until tbe imagination petiabes the vis

Manufacturers have shrewdly found
a wsy around the law by using In
gredients which give the product r
cream color sufficiently like butter,
ecclslly during the winter, to pasi
read II v for the genuine article. It Ii
an oen question whether or no tin
ingredients used to obtain this color
make the product more desirable at a
food. The main fact Is that no arti
ficial coloring Is used and hence tin
spirit of the law Is nullified. The only
apparent way out of th difhVultj
would seem to be to amend the m
so that it would be a misdemeanor for
oleo to be colored In any way so that
It approached the color of butter. It Is
to be regretted that the amendment
