eyes were centered on our location

Something Besides Money.

General Leonard Wood has set the
sort of example that the young men Of
America have needed. AS Brigadier
General he is receiving a salary Of
$500 year. Asked whether he would
accept the offer of the presidency of the
Washington street railway system at
$4,000, re replied: ri will not leave
the military service of the United States
so long as my services are wanted, not
for $50, 1000 year or twice that amount.
There is something besides money"
In these days when millionaires can hire
college presidents to propagate the
kind of doctrines that promote their
business methods, and when ministers
regard an offer of higher salary as
equivalent to divine call, the value Of
such an example is beyond price.
