Albert Vogel of Jeannette, Pa. He’s one hundred and two years old. He’s never smoked or chewed tobacco or drank Intoxicating liquor. Never quarreled or fotight with another man. Always trying to do good and to persuade others to behave themselves. Rev. Mr. Vogel is the oldest active minister of the gospel in the United States. Hard work, lots of walking and an occasional fishing trip is his formula for a long and happy life. And this reminds us that Rev. Dr. Aaron E. Ballard is president of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting association, New York, and is ninety-eight years old. "I never would have lived to this age,” Doctor Ballard said, “if I had retired at sixty and commenced twirling my thumbs in Idleness.” - So it seems the good don’t die young --if they keep busy.—New York World.
