Success

Ruskin's Injunction to his servants, "Call
me from my study whenever there is a
beautiful sunset or any unusual appear
ance in the sky or landscape" and he as
serts that his constant observation of the
beautiful has had a powerful influence on
his life and character.
Goethe said: Every child should see a
pretty picture and hear a beautiful poem
every day. There is no doubt that the de-
terioration in city life is due partly, at
least, to the fact that children grow up
10 manhood and wOmanhood without COM
ing much in contact with nature and OBJ
jects of beauty. They see bricks and
stones and pavements, but get very few
glimpses of field. mountain. valley or
stream. Nature does not speak through
brick walls or stone pavements; and bar
rem indeed is the life of the child who has
no chance to frequently aF-orb into its be-
ing the loneliness of its great mother.
Character is made up largely from what
passes before the eye. He who would
grow, who would feel his soul expand,
should never let day pass without trying
to see some beautiful thing. A new layer
of character is formed every day, and il
we see but the artificial, the sordd, the
cold calculating side of life, if expert
ence nothing OF beauty or joy, we must ex-
pect the character to correspond.
Wherever possible, child should not be
allowed TO pass a day without a glimpse
of nature The mind feeds largely upon the
material which the eyes bring il. II they
bring beauty, the mind can form beautiful
images and pictures. If they bring moth
ing but dust and reflections from brick
walls. busy stores and sitting tenements,
IL cannot build up very beautiful char

they were married in meeting, the cere-
mony being at the Lynn meeting house, In
Honey Creek township. near Russiaville.
In early days. to marry out OF meeting
meant ejectment from the church. The an

ways of the world. The first step In a
Quaker wedding is for the candidates tn
