From the mountain peaks of to-day with the vision of a seer, see how today will be'helpful to to-morrow. In order to think properly you must learn how to think. You must be careful to gather the right materials on which to build. Not everything you have stored away will enrich you. You will probably have to discard many •things you first thought valuable. You may have striven after physical culture, and have learned many rules to perform the necessary things for carrying yourselves In a becoming manner before the world. Hut all these things will not en"lch "your soul. You must search for the materials that will bring you face to face with your present duty to God and man. It is this which Imparts a 'healthy glow to the soul, anil makes one's heart beat with the Joy of heaven. Do not be impassive. "Think profoundly. Do not bo satisfied to touch the mere surface of things. The men who have made the world what it is from a scientific standpoint, or from the standpoint of morals, have been the men who have iffone below the surface. They have searched long, and journeyed far. They have lost sweat of brow, but it has ffiven them power. If you think profoundly it will ma|!\e you a leader anions nien. Y®u will succeed where others fall. "it must be the aim of all to learn to think for one's self. Do not let others do the part you ought to perform. Pre-Reformation times were characterised by limitation of thought. There was no free press. The leaders of the day. who were churchmen, did the thinking for the rest of the world. When men began to think for themselves eccleslastlcisun lost its rule, and an open Bible was given to the world. Think for yourselves then. Never permit yourselves to be led away by the customs and fashion.* of the world. Never allow the pace to be set by others, but think for yourselves. "The subject is most important beeause what we are in the eternity of Ood will l>e the result of our thinking. 'As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.* That which we call sin Is born of a thought. Virtue is only the concrete form of maniofsted thought. Success i 11 life depends on how we think, hence it Is most important that young people just starting out In the busy pursuits of life Should jknow how to think aright. "Thought is one of the must subtle, if not the most subtle of all things, iind yet it is tin- creator of everything • the hand constructs. We cannot tell how thought originates, hut we 1<no\v how we are affected by its Influence. It is important that we learn to think aright, becau.se though all thiiuvH perish, thought lijxc its source Is et» rnal. We never stop thinking.
