full paper on THE Measure Of Success
by Miss Eva Rankin Of Brigham CITY
which was In part as follows
Each Of us has a gift 70 offer the
world, that gift a life and one which
We may make our best possible or our
worst possible gift. IL Is not alone that
we owe our abilities or our talents. but
We owe ourselves developed from what
We can make out Of our abilities and
talents.

Edward Atkinson has said; 'The ilw
Of life Is the law OF service. We are
members. one Of another. and the very
existence OF society rests upon the in
dependence Of its members. The only
factors which are or can be placed at
the disposal Of each and all alike, with'
out distinction Of race color or con-
dition. are time and opportunity. These
being given. and equal rights being Sc
cured under just laws the measure OF
your success will be the measure OF
the services which you are capable Of
rendering 70 youru fellow men,
THE only factors alike at the disposal
Of all being time and opportunity, how
shall We use them TO the best advan-
tage? We may not be ready TO con-
cede that each has the same amount OF
time and opportunity as every other,
but we are common in this-each has a
life-that is his time and perhaps II we
can settle justly what may be meant by
opportunity we shall not find ourselves
so hampeTed. after all our busiest times
and seasons may be our opportunity.
The greatest among you must be
your minlster-seliishnes must be laid
aside-but self must still be prominent
for self Is the agent through which We
work-"Unless above himself he can
erect himself. how poor thing Is man. ~
mo man adds 10 his stature by dom
ming a TAN hat. and he cannot deceive
the world by such pretenses. We do
not make a tree larger by binding
around IL the thick bBTk OF another
tree-if we want our trees 20 grow and
bud and blossom and brine forth fruit
we must as nearly as possible supply
the conditions necessary TO growth and
bring 10 the tree those elements which
cause development. The measure OF
success of a garden is In It's flowers and
fruits. shall We neglect our queens gar
dens where the sesame and lilies grow?
