Duo of the commonest temptations
of tho modern young man Is thla un
reasoning acceptance of (ililn'gs a.s he
tlud.s them, ready to lib' hand. A.s
he walks the paved way, the toll of
tluwe that went before Is nothing to
him. The vantage groan., of the gold
en experience of others prevented lu a
modern tet-book, prescribed la'bora-
'ttiry work or lectures Is aeeepted by
the student as a mere matter of
coarse, when perhaps the facts dis
covered or the thought oOaboralcd
have cost the bet elVort of the ablest
minds for centuries. The largest
pant of our thinking Ikis already been
done for us by scholars and states
men. It would eem sometime as j
if tHiese beaten paths had been made

struggle and dutermlue . dig for truth
which c..aracteried t.ic laliors of our
father, produced deeper considera
tion, stronger character, iust as the
plain food, pure air and water and
roughing it of the summer camping
trip induces a better digestion than
Coaxing the stomach with prepared
foods.
There is economy In stepping upon
the shoulders of our fathers; an ear
lier concent nit ion of effort for come
end in life may result, but there conies
with it also the possibility of narrow
ness of vision, ovembsorptinn in per
sonal Interests, pelflshucc-s.
In the daily treadmill of our beat
en rounds of'duty we not . .luequout
ly indulge in the fear that inlivrent
creative power, originality may suf
fer loss from disuse. There is more
vital ground for fear that th soul
may beerviio dead ti gratitude and to
f!od.
Tlie deepest mire of selfishness Is
thanklossiiess. Will not the inenvbers
of the Young Men's Christian associ

find the deepest blessing in living not
unto themselves? The agency through
which we, as an association, reach
the world field is the internatr.Kii
