A Cruel Criticism.

She was an amateur artist and, like
most of her kind, considered herself
several laps in advance of the average
amateur She was eager, however, to
know how her work would Impress one
of the masters who had managed to
grasp tickle fame by the back of the
neck.
One day real painter called at her
home, and she Immediately conceived
the idea Of testing him. She would
show him a specimen of her handi
work, but would reveal nothing that
might lead him To suspect her as being
the creator thereof.
So the fair amateur proceeded &c
guide the real painter toward her mas
terpiece.
"Of what school would you call this
paintingf" she asked eXpectantly.
"Of the boarding school, promptly
replied the real painter,
And a large dark spot suddenly ap

YOUR GREATEST CAPITAL.
II Is Yourself and should BE Kept
at the Top of Condition.

The real material with which you
build your career is in you. Your own
self is your greatest capital. The Sc
cret of your future achievement is
locked up in your brain, in your nerves,
in your muscles, in your ambition, in
your determination and in your ideal.
Everything depends upon your physical
and mental condition. for that governs
your vitality, your vigor and your abil'
ity TO do things. The amount of phys
ical and mental force you are able to
use in your vocation will measure your
ultimate success, and whatever lessons
this force, or the effectiveness Of your
achievement capital, will cut down
your usefulness in life and your
chances Of success. Achievement does
not depend so much upon the size of
the deposits you have in the bank rs
upon the amount of capital you have in
yourself, the effectiveness with which
you can use it and the power you can
bring TO your vocation. \ man who is
weakened by i'll health, or who has
sapped his energy by excessive use Of
tobacco or alcohol or in any other
way, has small chance for success
when pitted against one who Is sound
and vigorous in every organ and fac
ulty.
Nature is not sentimental or merci-
ful. If you violate her law you must
pay the penalty, though you sit on
throne; king or beggar is all the same
to her. You cannot plead weakness or
handicap as an excuse for failure. She
demands that you be ever at the top of
your condition, that you always do
your best, and will accept no excuse or
apology.
A weakness anywhere mars ones
whole career. 1t will rise up as a ghost
all through ones life work, mortify
ing, condemning and cOnvicting one Of
past error. Every indiscretion or vi
cious indulgence simply opens leak
which drains off success capital.
or what use is great success capital,
Of mental and physical equipment, if
you are not wise enough to manage it
to the best advantage and to make it
last until your success is assured?
1t is sad TO see a young man try to
win high place with a broken down
constitution or with his faculties half
trained and his success army complete
ly demorali2ed, his prospects ruined by
a shattered physique. The saddest
thing Of all is that wise living might
have made fulfillment of ambition pos
sible and enriched the world with a
noble, well rounded life.
The great problem, then, which every
one has 20 face is how to generate Ell
ergy, how TO conserve it and how to
keep oneself always at the top Of bis
condition. Success.

AS TO THE MINISTRY.

OF late there appears to have been
great deal Of pessimism expressed
in various quarters with respect to the
ministry. 1t has been asserted that
not as many young men are becoming
candidates for holy orders now as was
formerly the case, and that in intel
lectual quality there has been a de-
terioration in the men of the cloth as
compared with fifty or a hundred
years ago. Is that true? The current
number Of the Worlds Work contains
an article by Everett p. Tomlinson
on the subject. He has made an ex-
haustive study of It. inquiring
OF the various denominations con-
corning the number and the character
Of the young men seeking the minis
try as a life's work. The conclusion
he reaches is that there is no dearth
of students for the pulpit. Compared
with twenty-five years ago, a marked
and marvellous increase is shown. Nor,
taken as a whole, is there any de-
terioration in the quality of the stu
dents. The Methodists and Eplsco-
palians report decided increase In
numbers and advance In mental ca
pacty OF the young men who are pre-
pairing themselves to enter the min
istry.
But, Il is asserted, there is a mark
ed change In the sources OF pulpit sup
ply. The West and the South provide
a much larger proportion OF students
than the East. The response is
greater IN the newer regions than the
older; greater IN the country than in
the city; greater from the smaller
churches than from tho larger.
Mr. Tomllnson believes that the
chief causes that tend 10 keep young
mon from the ministry are "the poyer-
~ N the calling. the fear ~ intollec-
tual and moral freedom, the conyic-
tion that the petty outwelghs the large
