J. KELLY ead Some people don't grow. They are = like a flag pole that is erected with considerable energy, but never again ventures to change its position or lift itself to higher height. Other peo- ple are like trees, growing each year in breadth and grace and majesty, and / each year yielding a large store of ripened fruit. Some people forget the law of increment and stop growing while they are yet children. "Others keep on growing even while growing oid. There are some laws ive growth that should ously operative through all the stages of life. There is the law of purpose. lt is much easier to go forward and keep of progress: be continu- | in straight line if there is a sighted | goal somewhere.

Vary the verbs and you have the biographies of a multitude. of people in a brief paragraph. Life without a purpose is like a_ ship without a sail. But life with a worthy Jaurpose will turn every circum- stance of living into a virtue and a victory. "Live tor 'something, have a ovur- pose, And that purpose keep in viev'; Drifting like a helpless vessel, Thou can'st ne'er to life be true. Half the wrecks that strew life's ocean, If some star guide, Might have ely, had been their long been riding saf- But they drifted with the tide." Dr. J. L. Gordon has expressed the same sentiment in noble prose--'In the secret of your soul have a pur- pose, Cling to it, embrace it, caress Let it slumber with you, walk with you, rest it, hug it. rise with you, | with you. Keep it ever by your side. Live for it, die for it, but cling to it." | Another law if the growth is the law of industry. We grow in the very tasks that we do. "Being forced to work," said Char:es Kingsley, "and forced to do your best will breed in you a hundred virtues which the idie never knew." Nobody can stop the habit of work without im periling | growth.

"The tree that made never had to fight Sor sun and sky and air and light, -- That stood out in the open plain, " _And always got its share of rain, Nevec became a forest king, But lived and died a scrubby taing. The man who never had to toil, Who never had to win his share, Of sun and sky and light and air, Never became a manly man, But lived and died as he began." Good timber doesn't grow at ease. Nor does human life put on its best maturity in leisure. Grappling with great aims and wrestling with mighty impediments, "life grows by a cer- tain necessity to their stature." Another law of growth is the law of fellowship. Make yourself one with other people. Study their thoughts and problems, their views of life and peculiarities. Stand in the shoes of others and see life and the world from their windows. Dr. Samuel Johnson said: "I look upon every day to be lost in which I do not make a new acquaintance." Your mind may be fed by thought, but your heart can only be warmed by sympathy. Then touch as many other lives as you can. "You are as strong as your life is strong, Let it take in the whole world, Some as your heart's dearest, Many as your brothers and sisters, All as worth a_ kind thougatl, a salute, And a comradely touch of the hand." And in the rich experiences of an ever widening fellowship of friends you will find the soul awakening, un- folding, growing. And in this ever widening circle ot friendship that continuously pushes out the frontiers of our lives, we must find a special place for great souls: If you would think great thoughts then you must seek compan- ionship with great minds. A Man can never stagnate while he keeps cOmt- pany with great souls. We want bde0d- ple who will make us do what we can. who will provoke us to think who will erect high goals before us, who will inspire in us confidence. in our own high destiny. The comradeship of great souls, though it be found only in the ree- ords that they have left behind in book and life, or in "thoughts sub- lime that pierce the night like star," will always set up growing pains, will ever urge man's search to vaster issues." : MIRRORETTES (Continued from page 1) on time, but, oh boys, he suffered lat- er .on.
