`THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1928 T. R. COULTER LIT} V jumploye BARRIE, ONT. WHAT CAN I DO THAT IS WORTH WHILE? Play the Fool or Play the Man We have been much impressed 3 with the tale of an ancient legend we have been readings, which tells ' of a tmrysteriorurs giant tree called '_ ~Igdra:sil, typical of the spirit od' ' man, the roots of which are planted in hell, its top branches `reaching , into heaven. So we can compare it ` with man s nature, its lowest de(pth-.9 buried [far down in brutality, sen- suality, sel:f-i-ndulgence, and its lofty aspirations, thoughts and pur- poses up to the stars, for from all that is base and unworthy. -4 ---_ .............n u.:- I-an yuan la uuan uuu \u.u~.nvu..uu_y. As we read we im'a.g'.ine this tree rising higher and .hig{her, far up be- yond the sight of man, and we think the real task of human lbein-gs is to climb -upward, away from the roots, from brutality, cruelty, xgreed, selshness, hatred, envy, malice, to- ward a spiritual existence worth while. 71`. ..-__.. ......L.. :.. +Lu'a WllLl1C. Man plsays many pants in this life, and rises slowly `upward from the cradle, like the bending of a 4:-incle, then glides slowly downrward into the grave; many are the efforts, failures and successes between in- fancy; toothless, helpless, and then old age, again toothless and help- 1...... Dr. Jack -of Manchester College, Ox- 1 ford, that `broadly speaking rthere are only two ways of going bhr-ough life: Playing the fool or playing ` the man." Each of us knows the ` foolishness and wjeaknesseus of our- selves. We o.ug-ht to know the -goal to set. for ourselves, and the plans. we make to play the man, or the weakness rthat alll-ows us to play the fool; otherwise the failure. We are living` in an age that is fortunate and rprogressvive, and be- cause it is fortunate and Pmvidence has been kiml to us, we should con- centrate all the more on the prob- lem, What can I do that worth while? ' ' " v-. .n . . u._,., \ I-low truly it may be said. with" uvxn. _;. Ya I WIIIIU . 1 Butrst we must dPci(le What IS worth while ? For some the thing` worth while ' seems to be anything that gives mediate .pleasure; to the wrong kind of man mere accumulation of money is worth while; with others of the wrong kind indulgence of the senses outweigihs all else. To the human being who is desirous of `being ofl value, and to be called a man. the: thing; wiortah while is duty and ac-1 complislmlent.

The vessel is of 20.000 tonnage, and is the fourth and last of the "Duch- ess" quartette of steamships built for the service of the St. Lawrence route. H Here and There Two hundred Chinchilla rabbits accompanied by a ton of special food for their twelve thousand mile journey from England to New Zea- land were recently handled by the Canadian Pacific Express Company. The little animals were bred in Lincolnshire and are to serve as a nucleus oi? a rabbit fur farm in Auckland. As rabbits are regarded as a pest in the Antipodes special arrangements had to be made to allow them to enter the country. `The lineman on the street, the man laying able, the repair` man, Bell truck drivers, `operators, `cashiers, stenographers. clerh-- any one_ _of our fourteen thousand Bell `exnp1oyee; 1caLn take your order, not only dur- ing wvorki"g hours but at any time of the day.
