THE KIND OF MEN WANTED.
When men are wanted for great en-
tarprises and high positions, men Of
settled character are selected When
emergencies arise, how swiftly and
surely is the chaf WiEnoWod from The
wheat How quickly and contemptu-
0UsIy are the shallow rejected and
with what smiles are the men OF fixed
and staple character chosen. Cnarac-
ter is the criterion of peoples choice,
You may think your utter want of
manlineSS does 1O5 hurt your reputa-
ti0n in the community. Vice has its
own signs and signals from which you
cannot escape. Sin and meannes8 long
indulged in have heraldS OF then own.
There are sins and shames which the
world reads in the eye as plainly as if
written ON book. If you are trifing
and frivolous in conduct, She world
will make note OF it. But il no such
depths as these have been sounded, if
all that can be said is that you have no
depth, be assured that the world Will
make note Of it, and when men of
strength are wanted yen viii net be
called. Men are wanted whom we al
ways know where to find on all moral
questions; men who are positive forces
in the community; men who know how
to say yes or no, and stick to it when
in the right How all else sinks into
lnsignifcanc0 when such a character
is considered. Many noble young
life has been stranded because of no
settled purpose 1t is mournful to
think of the wasted energies, Of the
undirected powers, Of the great blows
struck but without effect, of the keen
blades welded all in vain, Of those
who l0nged to do something for God
and humanity, on whose grave stone
was carved the epitaph, Failure" be-
cause they had no settled purpose. We
must all in some respects be special
lists. Life is COO short to be successful
i'm all directions. 10 secure success
there must be some central liking; the
influence of some suca end set before
the young life, sends the life forth
with accommodating momentum. With
out such a directing course, life will
be without order, and come to no def
mite realization Of its purpose. With
out this there will be no pole star in
the armament, no light in the eye, no
momentum and power. From the
Bdcca7alweate Sermon Of PreSt Teae-
ton Baten1a7o, K7ao1 CoJ7ege.
HUMILITY is the foundation Of vir
tue.
