A large proportion of the failures in
ife are to be found in the ranks Ct
the chronic leaners
Everywhere we go
we meet earnest,
conscientious workers who are amazed
that they do not get on faster. They
wax eloquent over their fancied
wrongs, the injustice that confines
them to inferior grades. while persons
with no more education, ability or per-
severance than they possess are ad-
vanced over their heads. TO the cas-
1al observer, writes o. s. Marden, in
Success, they seem to have cause for
grievance; but when we analyze these
people we find what the trouble really
Is. They are incapable of independent
action. They dare not make the slight
est move without assistance from
some outside source, the advice or
opinion of some one on whose judg-
ment they are wont to rely. They
have no confidence in themselves-do
not trust their own powers. They have
never learned to stand squarely on
their feet, to think their own thoughts
and make their own decisions. They
have leaned upon somebody from
childhood, all through the formative
period of character building, until a
habit of leaning is chronic. Any fac
atty which is unused for long time
loses its power. 1t is a law of nature
that we must use or lose. IL a man
ceases to exercise his muscles they
soon become weak and habby. The
same inexorable law governs mans
mental powers. So the men and wom-
en- who have never learned the funda-
mental lesson of self-relance, who
have never used their God-given fac
ulties in reasoning with themselves.
making their own decisions and in be-
ing their own final court of appeal,
gr ow up weaklings, parasites. God in
tended them to stand alone, to draw
upon His inexhaustible power without
stint. He meant them to be oaks, but
they have become vines. Not realizing
that all growth is from within, they
have reversed this fundamental truth
and endeavored to draw their strength
from the outside. .
