W!at Is Worth Whil.I
Some of Ihe hardest to aiwvver,
some of the most important, of all
jet
the
dilMcult questions hat confrnLt an ear"
nest young person, are these: What is
really wcrth while? I am nearly thru
school and have my life before me:
what shall I do with it ? How can 1 live
so that I may best serve my God, my
fellowiuen, and my sell? These questions
come, .or at least should (onie, to all.
If they do not, it shows that something
is the trouble, that there is a want ot
earnest purpose, or a wrong ambition.
Tt.ey should come and they sli mid I
answered before the life work is decided
upon..
We think of the people around us, and
as they are mads; to pnHs in review bvlore
our in ikI's eve, we wonder which one of
litem is tlB most truly successful. There
are millionaires, orators. s holnrs, aulli
ors, musicians, inventors peo.de whose
fame reaches round the woild There
are business men. lawyers, preachers and
teachers. Are we able to hoose a sin
gle person whom we would lie willing to
pattern our lives afler, and follow as our
ideal? No, and yW have Ihev not suc
ceeded? Who would say that the orator,
who can move people by his eloquence,
or the musician, who holds uud enoes
spell Imiuiic), i a failure?

quire wealth. He accomplish- his
sign, and dying leaves n vast fortune to
Is) inherited by his children. Yes, he
was rich, but was it worth while to
spend his life in Iho accumulation of
these riches? Yet this is the ambition of
many young men.
Listen to that I iwyer. How fluently
he speaks. U uly to hear him is almost
to he convinced that he is right. But
aJas. too ttften he stands before a jury,
pi-ailing for some villain, and peiiisps

; He lias studied hard and by application
and attention lo ins chosen profession,
he has made himself what he is. a bril

is Una success worth tlie effort il cost ?

This is the kind of reputation it is worth

not whether one is as rich as Dives, or as
poor as LuZarus, whether he ba king or

noble heart, with such love for our
fellow meti. that we will do all the good
we can. For, Tennyson says,
