It Spread before our youth in public prints, no matter if a Leslie Carter or a queen of Kngland mothers it, aim of life, but to say is miserable stuff Young man and young woman, there are just two ways through life One of these is the Great White Way. Its doors are un locked by money, and girls often get into it by the stage en trance. Herein you will find the sparkle of eyes, the gleam of wine, the fascina- tion of variety, the excitement of abandon. Keep in this Way and you will grow tired of just one woman, if you are a man, ‘Of just one man, if you are a woman; you will have no home; children wil! be a nuisance; duty of any sort will be a bore. Oh! it is very gay in this Great White Way—while it lasts But the lights go out Excitement finds nothing in you to stir. At middle age, darkness comes, and loneliness, femorse, mental, moral, physical degeneracy. Ah! it is easy to get into this Way, but the only exit is a great yawning abyss marked “Failure and Despair,” save here and there a crack through which the uniathomable, mysterious mercy of God Shines to perform the modern miracle of saving a soul that was Tost. This Way is full of laughter, glamour, lights. Variety palls. *-* ‘That other Way through life is narrow but plain. I¢ has rocks, but the climbing of them gives character that It has thorns of te:nptation that would catch and hold you back, bur resistance to them gives you the strength of experi- ence. It has only the langhter and lights that you give it, but rkle and gleam and change, there will come to you, natur- + as come to all other manly men of sense and reason, a de- sire and demand for God's best gifts—a home, a wife and chil- dren, without which life is but a fraud or sorry joke on the original atom. Reach the end of this Way, and you will find written on door of your going forth to eternity, “Usefulness; the Cre- jor’s Purpose.” Even as your mind grows weak in your last your last physical act will be to press the aged form of the p one woman in it” and whisper, “I'll wait for you over e, mother!" * . What is there in all this life of ours, in the Great White Way or in our well ordered homes, compared to what cternity How lonesome eternity to him who now makes no in- Vestmient of hope in the interminable hereafter! How the hearts of men, even of those befogged in the sparkle, the gleam and the glamour, yearn for and how their arms reach out across the Marrow line called death to those whom they have “loved and | Tost awhile”! *«* 6 * & Eternity, with no wile, no child! Eternity, with no hope, no tic, no record, save that which is perishable, like the sparkle of the eyes and the gleam of wine! The Great. White Way! Alas! It has its victims to barn, cripple and destroy, just as has the electric light on the street corner, which covers the sidewalk with shriveled bodies of the ephemera. ’ The other Way! Thank God, again, that the vast majority of men in all civilization are struggling, working in it, with love of home, wife and children as the spirit that dominates them in the things they do and the lifes they live!
