ALEXANDER THE GREAT Three hundred and fifty-six years before the beginning of the Chris- tian era, there arose a star on the world's political horizon, which for a brief season shone with such splendor that its brightness has dazzled every succeeding century of human history. Alexander, the son of King Phil- lip of Macedon, ascended his father’s throne at the age of 20 years, and died at 33. One of his biographers says of his achievements in war: “Among the soldiers of antiquity, Alexander finds a rival in Hannibal falone.’” He conquered the world and “sighed for other worlds to con- quer.” But he fell in ignominious defeat at the hands of himself. Un- able to control his anger or his ap- petite he exhibits the sad spectacle of dethronement at the hands of an enemy he carried in his own bosom. Hence the force of a Scripture which afirms, “He that ruleth his own 8pirit (is better) than he that tak- etha city.” Mr. Ley would like to talk to a house full of young folks tomorrow night on the “Value and Virtue of Self Mastery.” Older folks will not be unwelcome and should be profited.
