THE MAN WHO KNOWS HOW
Not Only to Decide Upon a Course,
But to Pursue It to a
Finish.

The great demand OF to-day Is for
the strong, vigorous, positive man, the
man who not only makes up his mind,
bat does 50 with hrmness, and, when
he has considered all the circumstances
and conditions Of the matter he is
called upon to decide, does so once for all,
and then throws ii off his mind and
passes to something else. Such a a
/ writes Orison SWEET Marden, in Sue,
cess, usually has superior executive
ability. He a not only make a pro
gramme, but he can also carry 1t out.
He can not only decide upon a course,
but he can also execute 1t to a finish.
Every watch has an unseen spring
back Of the dial which cOmpels the
wheels to revolye and makes the hands
mark the time with precision; so be-
meath the works of every great en-.
terprise, at the head of every great
establishment, although not often seen
by the public, is a strong character Of
this kind, a man with an iron grip,
who makes things 60 and forces the
wheels of the machine around, regulat-
ing their motion with precision. There
is no getting back Of him; his decision
is absolute, definite, final. Others can
consider, advise, or suggest, but he is
the man who makes the programme,
and sees that it is carried out. He is
the dominating power. Everything
else must point to him, and all 9th.

the institution Is like a watch with
a broken handspring, The wheels are
all there, and everything else Is In
place, but the power is gone and moth
ing moves. The iron hand, the deci.
sive power back of it all, has failed
to lend its impulse. The splendid
business which A. T. Stewart had built
up went to pieces when the great ex-
ecutive and organizing force that had
guided it vas removed. The famous

ton.
There IS only one of these great
leaders to thousands of followers. 1t
is easy to trail, to lean, or to hang
on the one who leads, but it takes
courage, grit and stamina to be orig
inal, prompt and decisive, to stand
squarely on ones own feet, and to
trust entirely to ones own judgment.

One of the clearest cases of absent,

Passing over many intermediate

work Of perfecting the cathedral was

The synod hall adjoining the edifice

Of the Apostles tall Of white marble),
standing within the canopied inches
over the principal doorway, are a
tribute TO his personal interest. But

spent months in the cathedrals of
Italy Illuminating over the necessities
Of this new Irish temple, anxious ever
to attain for it a standard of ec-
clesiastical cognateness and classic
perfection.
Soon upon the breezy eminence at
Armagh the labors of artist and arti-
san transformed the las yeti unified
shell of Or, Crolly's creation with a
thousand priceless pearls, Giant blocks
of Bath stone were changed In grare-

from every land adorned the floors and

tern, and white as driven snow, arose
to relieve the cathedral shadows.
Such are a few Of the features of this
new cathedral as we find them to-day.
On every side the eye rests upon OBJ
jects OF beauty or historic suggestion,
modern magnificence, and ancient
legend in singular unity. The environ-
ment of the cathedral teens with his

close by the cathedral is the old well
where st, Patrick christened his first
