FACT OF UR
well for ua to atop and
| about the fact of life,
tuel Kent, the phlloao-
I: “I think: therefore

I am.”
It ie well for ua to aek our-
Mivea euch queaUone aa these:
Who am It
Where did X come from?
How did I get there?
Why am I here?
Where am I going?
How am I going to get there?
How long am I going to be
there after I get there?
krery one of ua is conscious
of our personal existence. We
know that we are. We know that
we are going to depart from this
earthly scene. We know that
millions have been here before
ue, and if the world stands, mil-
lions will be here after us.
We come upon this planet.
We have our little part in the
play of life, in the drama of
life upon the stage. And then
we paee out the exits. We dis-
appear from the scene of action.
Let us think about Ufe and
how to face it; hew te get the
best of Ufe instead of letting
life get the best of us.
For instance, we take the
tulip balk—Just a round, brown
bulb, an Inantimate. There is
no movement in it. There is no
sound that comes from it. But
we can put it in a certain en-
vironment and surround it by
warm rich soli, and let the sun-
shine water the earth in the
springtime and we will notice
that there is movement that

lakes place. We see the blades
that come up through the soU.
We see the branch, we see the
stalk. We eee the bladee drink
in the sunlight. After a while
we eee that beautiful creation
that has such rich coloring as
to defy the skill of the greateet
artist to capture it, or to lay it
upon canvas. We say that is
life, and that round brown mass
that we hid in the earth moved
and grew and unfolded into a
thing of glory.
Life has always been a strag-
gle.
My earliest recollections are
of struggle. We struggled in the
spring to cut down the trees
and clear the soil and dig up
the stumps, and dig out the
rocks, and get it ready to plow.
We struggled then to get the
seed in the ground by a certain
time.
When summer came, we
struggled to get water to keep
the sheep and livestock alive.
We struggled to get the crops
in, in the fall of the year,
against the day when the cold
frost and the winter snow would
come.
We strqggled to cut wood, to
pile it up in cords, that we
might be able to have fuel
against the day when the snow
would pile high against the
sides of the house, and the
warm fire would be a necessity,
if we were to live.
It was a battle and a struggle
from the cradle to the grave,
and it always has been a strug-
gle.
What Is the purpose of the
struggle? What Is the end? What
is the aim? What is the accom-
plishment that will be brought
about by the struggle?
The answer is salvation. Ood
so designed it. This life Is a
school.
Let us look at the Intellectual
man! Let us look at the physi-
cal man when they come down
to the end of the road.
There is no comfort and no
assurance at the hour of death
for that man who haa cultured
and developed his mind from
the books that he has read.
He may know Plato, Aristotle.
He may know Pythagoras, He
may know Epicurus. He may
know Pyrrho. He may know all

The Goldthwaite Eagle
the great thinkers who have
ever lived. But when he comes
down to the hour of death,
there is no comfort in anything
that he has read. He must leave
his books behind for others to
read because he is going to leave
it all. He didn’t face life in 1U
fullest sense, and he is not
ready to die. Even though he
has a bright sharp, keen, train-
ed mind, he Is not ready to die.
Look at that man who is a
physical athlete when he comes
to the end of the way.
Once he stood in the ring and
the referee held up his arm, and
the thousand* cheered to the
rafters. His face was upon every
•porting page In the nation.
Once hU very name was a
synonym for speed and strength,
for training, for toughness, for
stamina, for power. Once he
was the very epitome, and to
every little boy in this country
he was the hero and the idol.
But you see him at the end
of the way. He lies upon his bed,
a thin, emaciated frame, a
mere shadow of his former self.
You take him by the hand, and
it’s a thin, emaciated, bony
hand. He doesn't have strength
now. He has come to the end of
the way. If all he has In the
physical, he has only faced Ufe
in one department, but life is
getting the best *f him.
Look at the business man. A
man can be Just as sick In a
luxurious bedroom between silk
bedclothes as he can be In a
hovel by the river side. And
death Is Just aa much death for
the rich man In his mansion as
it is for the poor man In his
cottage. Just because a man has
stocks and bonds and insurance
policies and piles of wealth,
that does not mean he has
faced life.
When he comes to the end of
the way. he will be like that
man who said;
“HI pull down my barns and
build greater ones.”
He faced life, too, as a busi-
ness man. He was a very suc-
cessful business man, a very
successful farmer. He went to
bed that night with very happy
dreams of activity on the mor-
row. The carpenters would be at
work. The framework of the
new and bigger barns would
soon be reared up.
Soon he would gather in his
great wealth and he would say,
“Soul, thou hast much goods
laid up for thee.” He thought
he could satisfy his soul with
material things, but when he
came to the end of the way, God
said,
“Thou fool, this night thy soul
shall be required of thee. Then
whose shall these things be
which thou hast provided?”
He faced life, but Ufe got the
best of him.
