Text. "What Is 3 our life? It t» oven a vapor."— Jaa. Iv, 14. "Poor fool!" A toy balloon was nail ing near the housetops. A grocer's boy with a basket of apples saw it frotu the sidewalk. He stopped oppu mouthed. atarlng eyed. It was <le scundlng. His basket dropped. Some cue else overturned it. Its contents scattered He darted into the street oblivious to trolleys, trucks, iiutos. It was nearer. It bobbed up and down in the fickle breeze. Llis band almost touched it. It dropped a.vuln tunializ. irißiy near—he almost had It-theu up again a foot beyond his reach. An other whirr of air and It is down direct ly In front of him. He darts forward, claps his hands against its sides, and— it bursts! Vanishes into thin air, like a ghost at dawn. He stands for a mo ment looking at the thin rubber tissue in his baud, then dine* It aside in dis gust. He looks for Ills apples. They're gone. "Poor fool!" And yet thou sands of others were darling from the same sidewalks into the courthouse, the banks, the shops, the stock market, the lurid "movies." dashing by In big red touring cars at tlie speed limit, pursuing something Just beyond them. Have you seen folks when they have caught up? Have you noted ihe en joyment seeker the moment after? There is no time when the balloon Is farther away than when you have caught it. The Mirage of Life. After traveling for hours across a trackless waste of burning desert sand,, tormented by thirst, the traveler discovers his supply of water has fail ed. The last muddy drops are drunk. His eyes, ears and month arc gradual ly filling up with the fine alkali sand, until he feels a cupful of water would be worth its weight in gold. At this moment, when his mind and body are in such & state of torment, he sees to his delight iu the distance a large lake. Its bunk* covered with palms. Its surface with little islands of re freshing green. Cheered by the sight he presses oil, eager to quench his ihirst. As he goes the lake recedes. At each advance it, too, moves, until at last, tortured by thirst, exhausted by fatigue, he siuks iu despair. Ha has beru chasing the mirage of the desert. The effects of mirage are ex traordinary. It is the very phantas magoria of nature; her wildest, most wayward and most, fantastic sport. She creates the illusion of laughing wares, sparkling lakes, verduous is lands. feathery palms, blooming flow ers, only to mock the trareler's ravish ed eyes. The desert mirage is only a type of life itself, luriug man onward toward tomorrow. The Illusion of Life. Life is an illusion, not a delusion. To paint wood or stone so that it will be taken for stone or iron is a delu sion. To paint a picture so that earth and sky are not mistaken for what they seem, but produce the emotion of earth nnd sky, this is illusion and is the painter's art. The law of illusion is written large in everyday life. Chil dren live iu the world of make believe, and grown folks hunger for it too. We live in a world where our senses trick us. Our earth seems larger than any star, the moon is small, sky ia blue, clouds are fleecy, the sun re volves nbout the earth—at least so it seems. Life lures us on, dangles the prize before us, making sure to keep It just beyond our grasp, if uot our touch. Youth has the freshness of morn to travel in, middle age blaze of high noon, old age evening shadows, twilight—and after that the dark. The prize lies at the end of the race, though Abraham never owned a foot : of ground, and Moses never crossed the Jordan: he only saw the "sweet fields beyond the swelling flood." standing "dressed in living green." But they reached the great goal. So we fathers promise a bicycle for the boy. and a Pbi Beta Kappa key dangles before the man, and both are lured through many a drab school day till ! the education is finished. The Will o' the Wisp. Is the rainbow necessary hk the rain? Are clouds only God's sprinkling pots, or are tliey the cauTas of the sky? Are apple blossoms only to produce apples, or are they for bocs and lovers' eyes? Should one have vegetable garden and no flowers? Is truth merely to be weighed and measured. or is it io be drenmed, felt, and imagined? The great est truths of life .are only apprehended through illusions. Knowledge is a pass ing from one illusion to another. As trology leads to astronomy, alchemy to chemistry, savagery to civilization. The thousands dying on European bat tlefields, tilled with patriotism—illu sion? Possibly, but on the way to a higher patriotism. The huatben in his blindness is on his way to the cross of Calvary. Illusion is the law of growth. Who can define the miracle of birth and the mystery of death? Who knows what Is health, when the weak •lng lives tlirough years and the athlete dies in a few sick clays? Who can define wealth save as accumulation of things? Love is an illusion. Many a June bride has most cried tier eyes out before September. But when the hon eymoon went (iown it brought the steady, certain light of a new day. The lover and lass are now father and mother. The man lias his dream of success and the woman of love Neither ever has It quite fulfilled. Illusion is Cod's way of get;ing things done. The gabby man Is sure a bore. His mouth should have a clutch. For he couW sjnr a whole lot more And not talk &a!f as much. —Cincinnati Enquirer. Unnecessary Pallor. Must as she -was entering the ball room.
