something doing. If we are giving our
time wastefully to society, to the theater, to the many other forms of
amusement we shall find ourselves most miserable if we simply resolve
to eliminate these things from our lives. To do this is to make a
negative resolution. No, the thing to do is to resolve that hereafter
our time will be spent in busying ourselves at those things which are
wholesome, helpful to others, and of such a character to bring delight
to us because of the service we can render to the world. What can you
do? Why, the field to do good is never overcrowded. The church and
the Sunday school offer many avenues of activity. Find out the thing
you can do best--uncover your talent. Get busy at good works, and then
there will be no room for the objectionable things and they will die
out because good habits are growing in their stead.

"To do this is the surest way to 'set your mind on the things that are
above, not on things that are upon the earth,' and when this is done
we need have little concern about our happiness."

THE MOUNTAIN CLIMBER
--Light
--Danger

All Light, Shining in the Darkness, Is Either a Guide or a
Warning.

THE LESSON--That the Bible sends out two kinds of light, guiding
and warning, and that all who neglect it are groping in the dark,
"loving darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil."

The word Light, appears very frequently in the scriptures as a type of
the highest human good. All of the most joyous emotions of the mental
and physical natures of man are described in the imagery of light.
Throughout the Book it is used to typify the true religion and
happiness.

~~The Talk.~~

"When we go riding in an automobile after dark, we light the lamps at
the front and at the rear. Why do we light the lamps? So the light
will shine on the roadway and we will be able to see where we are
going and thus avoid mishap and injury? Yes, but how about the lamp at
the rear? Oh, we light that one so other people will not run into
us. Yes, and that, too, is one of the great reasons why we light the
front lamps. If we were to start out on a night journey with no lamps
burning, there would be great danger of accident, and especially if we
were to meet another automobile which had no lights burning. We would
be apt to bump into each other. The law recognizes all this and
compels us to keep our automobile lights brilliantly shining.
