E. D.) Who said that a man had to be old at eighty? A man with a young heart and an eager forward-looking spirit is young, no matter what his age. age is determined by the attitude of mind as well as by the years on the dial. You may think you are getting old at 50. You can refuse to follow the lure of life and say: "What's the use, I'm getting old." Or you may find life at fifty, a joyful journey just begun. Prebendary Carlile, of Church Army fame, lately celebrated his eighieth birthday. A representative of the Daily News called to. have an iter- view. 'You take the easy chair," said the splendid veteran, "I don't like them. Perhaps I will when I get old --but not yet." What a wonderful spirit! "Life is far more worth liv- ing at eighty than at eighteen," said Prebendary Carlile in the interview. "I'm just starting one of the biggest ventures of my life. I am going to tramp the country to get a thousand men and women for missionary work at home and abroad." At eighty years of age- "IT am not folding up my hands from labour: Freshly I lift them, while the paling star Fades into night." It is not time that makes a person old. It is the drooping of the spirit under the pressure of hours and months and years. Lift the burden; let the spirit free; and life will keep on young and strong. I read the story the other day of a man of 82, who has been defiant of Father Time. Recent- ly he ploughed the north slope of the farm and planted an orchard. He expects some day to enjoy the fruit too. Time couldn't limit his spirit. Why, Moses was 120 years old and his eyes were not dim, or his natural For solidest and the flowers the sweetest. Man is fearfuily and wonderfully made. He is crammed with seed germs of infinite potentiality. They cannot all grow and mature in a day. It takes years to realize and unfold the divinity in human life. "Thou has not dreamed what. forces lie within thee, Vast and unfathomed as the mighty sea." Anybody who catches the real zest of life, and lives with great expec- tancy and aims to reach life's highest possible attainment will find life quite premature at eighty. Let me close with this timely state- ment of Angelo Patri:--"If we who IRROR carry our years heavy upon us could now and then forget them and catch again that carefree spirit of youth, its faith, we might stand erect long its singing rapture, its nonsense and enough to let the weight slip off. We cannot soar if we weigh down our souls with fear. We must go out to meet the high day in the spirit and abandon of youth, with hearts emptied of care, wide oven to whatever good there is."

Some people have done their best workin life after the snow had gath- ered about their brows. Amelia Barr was about fifty when she began to write, and she wrote seventy novels after. Danie] De Foe turned to fiction at fifty-five and gave the world the precious boon of "Robinson Crusoe" at sixty, and Victor Hugo wrote "Les | Miserables" at the same age. Whit-| tier wrote "Snow Bound" at 59, and| was still writing at 79. Tennyson wrote "Crossing the Bar" when he was 80 years young. Gladstone said --"If I had died at three score years and ten, fully half of my life work would have remained undone." Life is a long winding road, good all the way through. Too many people are looking for the place where you start to go down hill. It's just a long road. the way along and beyond the eigh- tieth mile post the fruits are often the WHY?
