work, and then took up his manuscript
again with new ideas. This illustrates
another law of success whose arch beams
over us if we aim for SUGGESTIVE law of
cheer.
We often think that what appears to
us to golden haze turns out to be but
| choking dust, and yet the change is more
| inward than outward. Genius carries
! the feelings OF youth into the work of
who carried the breath of the boy into
the last effort of the man. The thing to
do is to keep cheer in you and not be
mean and glum, DR.. Arnold kept cheer
in him and the boy in his nature lived
until he died. 1t was in all his work;
he remembered that he had body and
he was careful it.
| You can't keep cheer in you unless you
have healthy body. There is such
thing as muscular christianity, because
to he Muscular in the right way is to be
christian. Pay into the hand of the day
' the coin of honest toil-that coin will
make honest cheer. There are some
books which one ought to read oyer and
over again. One ought to read Romola
once year for the lessons to be drawn
from it are Invaluable. A duty done
! will make cheer in the heart and DR.. Ar
mold kept cheer in his latest breath be-
cause of duty done. He did not expect
the fruits of his labor at once and often
used to say that any man was fool
who could not see that half a loaf was
better than the whole; a rule which he
kept constantly before him. You can't
have everything just as you want it at
once but have got to wait for it. Don't
get cross in waiting for it. The finest
sentence that DIR. Arnold ever uttered,
yes one of the finest ever uttered by man,
was, 'Of the public school system of
Great Britain, anothers might be better,
but am placed in this system and I'm
bound to try what can make of it"
The man who will do that can't help but
be full of cheer.
| The house of DR.. Arnold was a tenn
pie of industry and peace, not so much
feelings Of genius and scholarship as the
sympathetic thrill of industry and labor
which makes one wish to do likewise.
He was prodigal of work. Besides his
labors at Rugby, he carried on volumi-
nous correspondence many pamphlets or
current events have sprang from his pen,
and he preached sermons i'll chapel to his
students every Sunday afternoon. May

rity of such powers when properly used
not brilliant, but toiling. 1 can take
off my hat to that man.
Care of the body. doing the thing next
to you without waiting for 1t, faith III
God, will put cheer into any man. An
other law of success is the law of tact,
which means touch-being in touch with
men and nature. There IS all the difference
in the world how you touch a thing.
You need not use a sandpaper tongue
when velvet tongue is as easy to use.
All the processes of nature are at work
taking the rough lines off from it's objects
and making them beautiful. God hates
straight lines except the lines of the
Christian. and how beautiful is the
straight path which the Christian marks
out for himself. Jesus in the midst Of the
mob, when he healed the servants ear
which Peter had cut off, used tact. He
said, Suffer me thus" was not such tact
exquisite
Dr. Arnold was full OF cast. The boys
used to say "Hc calls us Fellows,n and
his students respected the tact and touch
which he used an dealing with them. They
used to say, ut is shame to tell Arnold
a lie, he believes it." Isn't that beauti-
full?
| A high example is contagious. Keep
your eyes on the true ideal. DR.. Ar
nold's prayer was prayer of confidence
in Jesus and not in himseli-A prayer
that he might keep the true ideal in
view at all times. He bad E tact and
cheer which was Christlike, and he found
the true GROWN ofsuccess in living that
life. Young people, there is no other
way than toll, tact, cheer and full be-
lief ia Jesus our Confidence May you
thus live, and at the ead will be heard
the "well done, thou good and faithful
servant. enter thou into the rest of thy
Lord" Then will life be consummated,
and you will rest in the success of the
JOY Of the Lord. AmeAi"
