bury were favored Monday evening in
hearing ulcc,ure at the Court House from
DR. Kitchcl. 1t was procured by the Y.
NJ Christian Association. 1t is needless
to say that the room was filled with an
expectan, audience, which was more than
satisfied.
I After singing, and prayer by the Rov
DR.. Wines, the lecture was listened to. \
brief abstract may give some idea of what
all who heard were pleased with. He
said
The subject, which seemed appropriate
for this occasion, il a consideration Of
what constitutes q successful human life
Who is successful, and fills his ideal ot
life 1t would determine young man
drift of character, if he would tell what
he would take for success Most young
men have only a vague notion OF their
ideal, and definite one would both guide
and help them, All can be successful
but to the aimlcss, life seems afoat on q
sea Of fortuities True success is not
found in mere show, but in depth of char
actcr The luHuriant vine must be
pruuol to make it fruitful God some
times ,iits the chaf out Of men. after
which they become useful
Ii is Il successful life that yields the
most culture to the highest faculties
Without this, any is failure. Aecep'
no life that denies the growth and dcvel
opment Of beings. Study much, but don
let progress end with schools. It is tern
time all through life, and We get oul
diplomas beyond the grave.
! Business that claims more dignity thar
the man is wrong. 1t may be means o
good discipline. All feel the great powei
welded by the educated business man
and it is ID narrow view that limits hi
knowledge to his occupation. A desr
for gold dwarfs the true manhood. II
succeeds here, who grows in mind. Thi
wealth will help US in heaven AS spiritua
capital. Successful life gives culture t
the social faculties. and without this, tn
man is MANNED and distorted. Youn!
men are hungry fer companionship, bu
should choose friends with discretion, AM
not let any charms OF wit commend
character stained with impiety. He tina
: basks in the sunlight Of home affection:
and cherishes the memories of sister
brother, mother, and father, has a stron
safeguard against temptations. Youn
men should make homes Of their own :
soon as possible He who weds his sou
to bachelor singleness, lacks an inJentiv
, to goodness and greatness, and is one
r sided man.
Wealth is often taken as measure G
} success, but this is only valuable as

, spiritual wants. Thusit is more yalus

Amos Lawrence is an example OF mar
not dollar of whose wealth was staine
with fraud. In his later years, givin
was his vocation. Z. T. Barnum is ma
whose life is signal failure, whose cha
; actor is more bankrupt than fortune ca
be. He was tfansparently mean, an
gloried in ii, and has tried the depths
human gullability. In his book he taxi
himself to pieces, and then we see Il
man as he is. But the life which fits =.
. for the one to come, is the highest succei
