Show Never Chain Our Souls to What They Work In. ''Let us do our work like men till Ihe soil, build homes, refine' brute matter, mat-ter, be learned in law, in medicine, in theology; but let us never chain our Fouls to what they work in. Every man is born for God, for the universe, and may not narrow his mind. And ; it is well to bear in mind that every kind of life has its advantages except an i:n.moral life. WTTatever we make ; of ourselves, then whether farmers, 1 1 mechanics, lawyers, doctors, or priests i let us above all things first have a care that we are men; and if we are to be men. our special business work must form only a part of our life work. The aim at least in this way alone can I look at human life is not to wake iieh and successful bankers, n-Tchatiis, farmers, lawyers and doc-I doc-I tors, but to make noble and enlightened " :i . n. H.-iK-e the final thought is that e work, not to have more, "but to be more. This is but the Christian teaching teach-ing which has transformed the .world. ."! to know this, not to hear the h'-awr.ly invitation, is to be shut out ''"n communion with the blest, to be o'T from the source of growth; it i- to I,.- given over to modes of thought w! j n f itallv lead to mediocrity and :iy of life."
