Fecles tes, or The (Preacher apt to be pessimists; some because of the difficulty of dis LOSING is That covering souls in the bodies of many people, and others because of the diffi- culty of keeping their own souls and bodies together). This pessimist of the Bible wrote some good things. is one of them: "Remember now thy Creator in the | days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have. no pleas ure in them." In every-day language he is saying something like this: "Get a grip on God when you are young, such a grip that the storms and shocks of life will not loosen it, Get a vision of God in vour youth, such a vision that the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, to use the words of Christ, will not obscure it." He is teaching the same truth which Jesus taught when he said of the children, "Of such is the kingdom of God." In his old- fashioned way he is saying that child- hood is the time when the ideas of God and goodness, heaven the here- after are natural and easily compre- hensible to us. But when we lose that child spirit it is very difficult to take hold of these ideas and live by them. This is a fact which it is hard for us to recognize, just how much the child spirit has died out of us by the time we draw near to middle life. It has gone so gradually that we have not perceived its loss. Let us take it in its most obvious form, the loss of the physical resilience of youth. Many a man of fifty will boast that he is just as good a man as he ever was, and is as active and. strong as any of the young fellows. (To tell the truth we much prefer robustious fellows of that type to those whimpering nuisances who are always retailing their symp- toms, and have degenerated into apo- thecaries' medicine chests or surgeons' experiments). But let that fifty-year- old just try a hundred-yard dash with his seventeen-year-old son, and the boy will run rings round him and still win hands down. That man has lost, and lost heavily without knowing it. Perhaps he comes in some day in bad humor, and he gets it off on his wife by telling her that the dinner is not fit to eat, and that he wishes'that she could only cook the way his moth- er could. First he forgets that his wife in these days of high costs has not the resources of forest and field, and farm, garden and dairy, poultry and herd at her command as his mother had. Sec- ond, and more important, he has not the boy's appetite, the unspoiled palate, the unimpaired digestion he had when he was eating his mother's: cooking. The big chump did not recognize how much he has lost himself, and he ed to hear that in the recent exams | poUGHLY--To Mr. and Mrs. W. R.| blames it on his wife's cooking.

Some- thing has died out of them It i that quick spirit which readily at tracts others, and responds to attrac- make friends 8 This time it is almost entirely men tal. The Child Spirit is slowly dying; often imperceptibly to the man him | gelf, but none the less surely, dying Now it is the loss of the Child Spirit which makes it so hard for older péo- ple to become religious, if they have neglected it in youth. To the child the world is full of wonder. Accord- ing to the great Greek, Plato, wonder is the beginning of knowledge. It is also the beginning of religion. The person who looks out on all this uni verse with eyes full of wonder is not far from the kingdom. He is asking himself: "Who made this? Who gov- erns it? Whose thought is in it? Whence did it come? Whither is it going?" That spirit soon leads him to realize that all this wonderful world is but the living garment of God. But when the Child Spirit is lost, when we grow cynical, sated, blase, when we can find nothing new under the sun, we have largely lost our chance of finding God. Blessed is the man who has learned to love God ere the Child Spirit had time to die. Blessed is the man who has been able to keep the Child Spirit through his adult years, its wonder, its warmth, its quickness, its enthusi- asms, its readiness to receive new ideas. "Of such is the kingdom of God." He who has Lost the Child Spirit has lost that which the wealth of the world can not replace. SEE THE HANDSOMEST MAN ON THE SCREEN AT THE New Martin Mon. Tues.
