"A grave fault with goodly number of
young men is disposition to quarrel with
their surroundings, whereas the real fault is
not there" writes Edward w. Box in the
October LADIES' Home Journal. "Young men
do not seem clearly to realize that where
they are they were intended to be, and for
some mighty good purpose, too. The place
where young man finds himself is exactly
where his creator meant that he should be.
Therefore he is capable of filling it. God
makes no mistakes. But it is meant that
we should grow of our own efforts: get
strong through the conqucring of difficulties.
When young man starts out to live USE
full life, and starts out with a right detcrmi-
nation, an adherence to honorable principles
and faith IN God, no power on earth can
retard him long, seriously interrupt his
career or effectively stop him. He is bound
to win Our failures are always due to our
selves; never to other people or to our en-.
vironments.
