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.

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.

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, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30 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.
