Wanted Men and
Women Who Are
Hard of Hearing
To make this simple, no risk hear-
ing test with Ourine drops used
with simple syringe. If you are
deafened, bothered by ringing, buzz-
ing head noises due to hardened or
coagulated wax (cerumen), try the
Ourine Home Method test that so
many say has enabled them to hear
well again. You must hear better
after making this simple test or
you get your money back at once.
Ask about Ourine Ear Drops today
at Palace Drug.

THHREE PHILOSOPHIES
OF LILFE
By Howard Carter
First—Might makes right: The
robbers held the philosophy that
what a man has the power to do
he has the moral right to do. Such
people make
| their living
| by exploiting
| others. Per-
il sons such as
I these, do not
|know the
1 m e a ning of
|| philanthropy.
| T h e y 1 ove
if money more
I than they love
men, and they
I kill a man in
order to get
his money.
The principle
represented by these men leaves
destruction and death in its path,
and should it gain the supreme
control of the world, human life
would no longer be safe; and
peace, happiness, and contentment
would no longer be possible In the
scene now before us, evil is tem-
porarily enthroned and allowed to
exercise its will. No one can ade-
quately describe the results that
follow.
Second—The Passive Class in
Human Society: The character of
a man cannot be adequately esti-
mated until an opportunity for
service is presented to him. No
one could foretell what the men of
this parable would do with hteir
talents until they were given a
chance to use them. The men of
our text had such an opportunity
in the wounded man. His condi-
tion presented a problem, the solu
tion of which involved human duty.
Those of the passive class refuse
to assume any responsibility for
the condition of the unfortunate,
and, consequently, feel no obliga-
tion to assist them. Perhaps to
them other duties are more im-
portant, but whatever their thought
may be, they pass up their oppor-
tunity, and leave the problem un-
solved. This class, unlike the first,
does not actively harm society, but
neither does it help. Such people
would not kill a man for his money,
but neither will they spend theirs
to rescue him. (1 John 3:13-18.)
The philosophy of this class may
be summed up in these words:
What I have is mine and I will
keep it; I am under no obligation
to use it in the interest of others.
Third—The Good Samaritan: Those
of this class are nearest like God.
In them love and sympathy find
their highest expression. When
they see the needy they ask no
questions, but being “moved with
compassion,” they immediately set
about to take care of them, and
endeavor to help them solve their
problem. To such people, men,
though strangers, mean more than
money, and they are willing to in-
vest not only their means, but their
time and influence also in an ef-
fort to save the unfortunate. Those
of this class do not see in the New
Testament a list of distinct pre-
cepts, each of which is applicable
to only one case, but rather a
book of living principles of univer
sal application; and, having a
heart full of love for God and
man, they have no trouble in
finding occasion for their manifes-
tation.
Their philosophy is this: What
I am and have belong to God, and
I am willing to spend and be
spent according to the pleasure of
God and the needs of my fellow
men. Thus the action of these
three classes of men shows where
each places the greatest emphasis.
To the first, material things mean
more than human life, and the
end justifies the means. To the
second, human life means but
little. To the third, men mean
more than material things, and they
are willing to spend their means
in seeking the good of their fel-
lows, and, consequently, the glory
of God.
