STANDARDS.
By Leßoy J. Kelsey, S. R., Kansas City, Mo.
The truly great may lall sometime
From heights tiot gained by other men;
But their greatness shows sublime
In new attempts to rise again.
The truly wise may make some breaks,
Aim! show a faulty judgement too;
'( But better to have made mistakes
Than never to have Iried to do.
The truly brave perhaps may groan
With some great peril looming near; _
But splendid courage oft is shown
Through conquering inherent fear.
The truly good may after while
Suceorab to evils ott withstood;
But spared the subtle tempter’s guile,
Small merit lies in being good.
GROWING OLD.
Boftly, oh, softly, the years have swept by thee,
Tom hing thee lightly w ; th tender care.
Sorrow r.nri death they have o r ten brought nigh thee,
Yet they have left tl.ee but btm.dy to mar
Growing old gracefully, gracefully tail.
Far from the storms that are lashing the ocean,
Nearer each day to the pleasant home light.
Far from the waves that are big with commotion,
Under full sail and the harbor in sight.
Growing old gracefully, cheerful ami might.
Past all the winds that were adverse and chilling,
Past all the islands that lured thee to rest ;
Past all the currents that lured thee unwilling,
Far from thy course to the land of the blest.
Growing old gracefully, peaceful and blest.
Never a feeling of envy or sorrow
When the bright faces are seen;
Never a fear from the young wouldst thou borrow;
Thou dost remember what lieth between.
Growing old willingly, thankful, serene.
Rich in experience that angels might covet;
Rich in a faith that has grown with the years; , ,
Rich in a love that grew from and about it,
Soothing thy sorrows and bushing thy tears.
Growing old willingly, thankful, serene.
Hearts at the sound of thy coming are lightened,
Ready and willing thy hand to relieve; ,
Many a face at thy kind word has brightened;
“It is more blessed to give than receive.”
Growing old happily, ceasing to grieve.
Eyes that grow dim to earth and its glory
Have a sweet recompense youth can not know;
Ears that grow dull to earth and its story
Drink in the songs that from paradise flow.
Growing old graciously, purer than snow. —Exchange.
ANNA KARENINA
Hv li(M> N. Tolstoi
(('ondensation by Mrs.’Mary K. Russ, Jamaica Plain, Mass.)
Count Loo Tolostoi was horn in 1828 at Yasnaya Polyana, neat
Toula the family estate that lias become famous throughout the
world as the residence of the gretat novelist, reformer and dreamer.
He died in 1910 at a little railroad station which ho had reached on a
journey the object of which was to let him end his days in solitude.
but a whole world was lookin g on.
At first he studied oriental languages, then law, and finally became
a soldier, taking part in the Crimean campaign His long scries of
writings began with “Childhood,” “boyhood.” “The Morning of a
Landed Proprietor,” and articles on his experiences as a soldier. His
realism was already a dominant note, as well as his power to see
through shams and conventions, lie soon retired from the army and
began his life of service to the peasants about him at his own estate.
“War and Peace.” appeared in 18H4-69, and the great novel “Anna
Karenina,” 1875-7 b. Already ho was dealing with the mighty pro
blems of life and humanity and trying to solve them in whatever way
seemed to him right, no matter what answer the world had given to
them. “My Religion.” “The Kreutzer Sonata.” “Resurrection,” are
perhaps the host known hooks, which have hecn translated into many
languages, including two editions published in America, of some two
dozen volumes each, one hy Nathan llaskdl Dole and others, one by
Prof. Leo Wiener. A whole library of books has been written about
him in many languages.
Tolstoi is one of the unique figures in the history of the world. Seer,
prophet, fearless seeker after truth no matter where the quest might
lead, he drew to himself the respectful attention of all thinking peo
ple, no matter how divergent their thought from his. llis belief that
Christianity is a faith to be actually lived by and his championship of
the doctrine of nonresistauce are the outstanding points of a thought
which covered all humanity.

A WORD TO BAPTIST CAM
PAIGNERS.
W. H. Faust.
This is the greatest hour the
Baptists have ever faced. North
ern Baptists are right now raising
one hundred million dollars.
Southern Baptists will raise a like
amount in November.
Every newspaper, circular and
denominational, daily and weekly
carries news of how the battle
goes, full pages in all our great
dailies and weeklies tell of the
mighty campaign and bow it
reaches out and grips our people
from Illinois to Texas and from
our Nations Capital to the Gulf of
M exieo.
For the first time since the days
of .John the Baptist, we have un
derfakeen a really worth while
program, one big enough for our
God to fit into.
It is the writer’s good fortune
and outstanding privilege to be
officially connected with one thou
sand one hundred and eighty Bap
tists as pastor.
As associational organizer he
faces daily the task of helping
enlist three thousand five hundred
more, as speaker in the 75 million
campaign he lias visited and spok
en to representatives of practical
ly all the churches in northeast
Georgia, never lias such tremend
ous enthusiasm been manifest be
fore in our ranks
The hour lias come for our peo
ple to delocalize themselves and
be big people as they face anew
and big day.
Every church in the Appalaeliee
Association is organized every
Sunday afternoon and morning a
strong corps of teachers and

speakers visit and speak to each
church.
Missions, education, orphans,
hospitals and aged preachers are
included in the 75 million.
Other denominations are watch
ing this unpdecedented, unparal
leled adventure with bated breath,
if we succeed they will follow suit,
thus the whole world will be bet
tered. The eyes of the world are
upon us, as never before we are
in the limelight.
To falter or fail would be to
manifest not one whit of our host
ed doctrine and deeds. We can
not, must not fail.
Is a Baptist better than a hen?
Someone has figured it out that
over three million bens in a five
year period would lay around 75
million of dollars worth of eggs.
To fail would be to disgrace
ourselves, our doctrines, our God,

to succeed is to put us to the fore
front of the outstanding denomin
ations of the earth and for a great
debt to the needs of the world.
Now is classification time. Each
one must do his or her best.
To say on November the dOth,
“My Church,” “My Association,”
failed would be to classify our
selves as among the slackers of a
generation so remote that poster
ity can not get back to its vision.
For God’s Church, humanity
and the world we must do our
best and succeed gloriously in this
gigantic undertaking.
Forcing a Bad HaGlt.

the habit of explaining away his fall

plain away other peoples’ successes.
