MISS PHILLIPS TO VISIT LEARNING THE ART OF LIVING. , By II. E. Cole. Special to the Nashville Globe: Men study how to do everything but live. No man would enter a com mercial venture with the same heed lesness and lack of foresight and un derstanding with which men airily 'ake up the great business of life. Plan purpose, philosophy, most of us have none. It really seldom occurs to us to prepare for living as for the most serious undertaking of our exis tence. How to live serenely, slmlrily and servicable and in the full exercise of our powers is a great problem, which 's none the less real because so often ignored. The Christian conception of life has no place for tents ot ease. It is lot a pleasant abiding luxurious place. It is a march, a battle, a war. The virtues it demands are the fighters virtues, of these preparedness is one of the first. Let your loins be gird ed about, said Jesus, that is gather up your flowing robes, fasten them into the belt, and be ready to march or fight or work. As a fireman is ready within a few seconds at any hour of the night or lay to mount the engine and be off, as abathing master watches a beach, ready to leap into the water the in stant anyone is in danger. So the Christian is to keep himself ever in a state of perpetual preparation, alert SYLVAN STREET BAPTIST CHURCH.

The Bishop said all these burdens and drawbacks in life are perhaps avowed by the Almighty to come spur people on to an awakening to the great possibilities of life and the work each can accomplish. He said the important thing is to find ones self, that "God is willing to co-operate wdth man in the accomplishment of any great work."
