When ene person meets another the
question Is often asked, "..How are
you getting along2,", This Is not an
improper question but an entirely
proper one, as it seems to vs.. But
what is involved in this question?
What kind Of an answer does this
question contemplate? 'Closs en the
heels Of this comes anotheg qusst zion,
"Who is the successfil peFson2a The
answers to these questions would be, to
ali oAtwatd appearances, many and
yasied; but to him who questions
closely his own mind and heart, the
very center Of all that is good or Ill,
there coHld be but one answer; The
successful Reson Is the happy peEson.
To get the most happiness out Of LIE
has been and ever win be the problem
of tbe Ages.
There y q A.. q psye6Rs who ~
great stress on society as whole; but
seem to Ypderrata and underestimate
the unyfying ana cohesive force that
binds t9gether this whole. What Is It
that gives form AND direction 70 this
organization known as human society2
1t is a law and Q power known only TO
the few pr is it something which is the
cppmpn heritage pf humanity? The
apswer to this question viii! solve the
riddle af the Spinx. There is an in
finitpds At plshes Of c9nsciousqsss:
Each individual persap lives and acts
on one At these PlaHes, aud on his
plane each PeFson must ask and answer
sll auestiohs prapounded and thus
solve the problem Of human life. There
may be sfiactatiap and seeming but
these will not suffice. Hanesty is here
the bsst and gully palicy. The integ-
rity Of your own mipd Is the law and
the gospel Of happiness. ITO thine
own self he true, and It must follow as
the night the day, than cSRst not then
be false ta any mRn," pecePtlQp and
hypacFisy in All its farms are at best
only ephemeFal, For . time atAers
may he deosived but yourself never,
and in the end the real self must sp-
pear and manifest itself.
At this paint another question arises;
"Who are the really and truly gTeat?"
Are they those who dress In purple and
Ane linen? Ars they those whose
names apd fame are ever In the public
eye? We answer yea, some Of them,
But to ocoupy the oepter Of the stage
aud be the cyuasurs Of all eyes II not
tho only cFiterian by whioh judgment
is to be reokonsd, On the farm, In the
Workshop, behind the counter, in all
the various svooations and plrsuits OF
life We nnd COUNTLESS numbers who are
trpe and steadfast to the integrity Of
their own minds, doing hour by hour
the best they oan, living up to their
highest conceptions Of duty and Of life,
and are thus the very salt Of the earth,
the SAVIOR Of which Is ~ eternal and en-
during ~ time.
No outward conformity to custom OF
rule can make q genuine man or
woman. A nation IL great and noble
In proportion As it has true men and
women.
Character u growth from within
outward. It begins at the center ol
each being; SO that the essential thing
In all efforts at well doing 10 to look
after the condition Of the individual
units.
We can not properly measure people
by the outward show of circumstance.
Men and women must be gauged and
classified by what they are and moi
what they seem to be. In an arrange.
ment Of this kind ever person undsl
