limp Of \ lame soldier. A man with
out genuine goodness il soon consigned
to his proper level in society. He
may hold his head high for a con.id-
cradle length oftime. but he is seldom
ultimately successful in imposition.
There are little locpholes in his mean
natures through which keen ami OBJ
serving individuals may regard his
imperfections. A man may outlive u
had reputation, but he cannot perma-
nenily sustain = good que by contin-
uous fraud. dissimu la;ion and hypoc-
risy. NoSa!y eau commit fraud and
msnv misdeeds without discovery
The fall Of many individuals has beer
rendered hopeless by reason of their
having attributed to themselves rare
virtues and qualities o; heart they
really did not possess
Another prominen; attribute Of true
manhood il strong common sense
Some individuals are unfortunately
born without this God-given qualify.
Others are ushsr-d inin exis'e pce and
arrive at . beal,hful physical maturity
With such q total disregard oi i, ths.
they sre virtually in tie same melan-
cboly situation.
Common sense i;nplies SQUAD per-
ception. correct reason. mental cspac-
ity. anil good understanding.
II has u be born il a man. Ii may
he improved by experience or polished
by education. but it canno, he created
by them any more than the rare
quality Of genius.
Plain. practices! common senee is The
foundation Of ali sound philosophy.
A proper exerci.e of this Draisewnfihy
quality ut the mini upon certain &C.
casions would saw. many individuals
frum subsequent: humiliation aud NOR
tificsti"m.
Another quality of true manhood is
faith in AMI luv- for humanity. To
be human IS to be iallible. There is
no sunny spot on this green earth
where pericc, beings dwell. The beet
and ;ruest living nen ANA women
have their weaknesses aUi imperfec-
tons Thus all should learn io inok
chsriiahly upon the errors If others
who ute Conscious Of their Own feel
Jugs.
There is much that is good and pure
in humanity, rs well as many things
that are evil and odious. 1t is unreas-
onsbie to believe that all are treacher.
Gus anl false because one person has
been untrue. II is unjust To affirm
that one who has committed q single
error has no remaining grains Of coed
in him.
Faith in humanity IL the founda-
ton ri earthly happiness The msa
Or woman destitute ~ il is miserable
everywhere; wi;hou, j: there can he
neither confidence or love.
One NAV be guilty u: gross impro-
pri.ties done in thvug htiess snd reck-
less moments, and yet be noi utterly
a csstaway. l; the world wa only
Is willing 10 praise virtue IA 10 de-
uouhcs vice, there would be more true
lnanhood.
In every hum,n sud- ia,re are
I.,s.y grains Of gui,l. When one is
down, even by indi.cr. ,ions ii his
own. do not s,uop To lhrow Additional
mud upon him. Strive rather 10
reach him helping hand 10 ex,ric.,te
him from the n.ire in which he l.
TIL, Is true manhood.
We have more honest faith To day
10 n few of the fallen creatures WHO
extend their helpless hands to us and
.iamor for our COMPASSION than IN
many Of the gorgeous. rreien'icus.
md self-rightous :ccusers. who. gath
ring their garments abIu' their in.-
,osing persons as If in fear OF CONTAIN
nation. thank God that they beloa:
% the bes; society.
True manhood is without false
,riie. 1t cannot be contaminated by |
ice. 1t fathoms all fraud aud false
.ooi. II is generous, it Is good. 1t l.
,reat and glorious.
