IA TALK ON SUCCESS
 REV. Il. N. CAMPBELL
Among Other Qualifications There
 Must Be Christian Character.

There was a good atteni dance at the | Y. NJ. C. A. meeting yesterday after noon and a most interesting address l was delivered by Rev H. NJ. Camp 1 bell of the Presbyterian church. NIr 1 Campbell took for his subject Sue | cess" and spoke for half an hour on l how to attain it. of the things which are often confused with true success and of the many details that lead up to the attainment of the much desired l quality Several selections were ren- ! dered at the meeting by the Dixie
 quartett MT. Todd of the Arizona School of Music presiding at the or gan.
 In part MT. Campbell said: Success ! is something most of us strive for and spend much time in planning a way for it's attainment. l might say that we all seek it. There are many different ideas of success but there is only one fundamentally true idea Of what sue cess is. It is not fame neither is it wealth. Especially is it noticeable that | in these late days the American peo- pie are beginning to understand that money is not nearly all Such a truth is being taught to even the wealthy.
 Most of you will recall the state mcnt made by John Rockefeller ;n Cleveland just few days ago in whica he said, wealth is not every thing and certainly there is no one h, tier fitted to know whereof hr speaks on such affairs than IS MT. Rockefeller. Real success in my opin- ion is the extent to which a man is able to help somebody else. Phillips Brooks was never greater than the r i'm ha fap mi and cared for the child of worn out mother that the mother might have a few hours rest in the park. For my part I shall be satisfied when I come to die if it be said Of me that I have lived a life which has been of some help to some one.
 "To attain success one must have a lofty ideal and in making an effort to attain that ideal ne will make no mis- take if inc shoot above the mark he ia aiming to hit The higher the ideal the greater the success. With a high ideal one must have conviction and the courage of his conviction with a real genuine idea of what is right and what is wrong. If there had been real conviction of what is right and wrong we would not have had the sad chap ters of the insurance scandal which have been recitod to us i'm the past few months. If Joseph Folk of Missouri was not especially blessed with a keen Judgment Of right and wrons and the courage of a Spartan he would not be as nigh in the minds of the American people as he is today. I know from my own personal Knowledge of one tune in his career when he might nave had two millions of dollars Just to quIt fighting. Not to say he was going to quit but just to quit. l say that such a case is known to my own Knowledge. I should explain that it was told to me by a man who knew whereof he spoke
 Roosevelt the pride of the nation. if not the pride of Arizonians com menced building when ac the head of the police commission of the city of New York he had the courage of his convictions He may be -vrong aud we here in Arizona know that he is very wrong in the stand he has taken in statehood Legislation but he mad thc courage Of his convictions and .kis in him we admire.
 'BUt with all that we must have. there is one thing which is largely i'm pCTtant. We must fear md hate temp tation. Treat temptation Ike you would a rattlesnake. We must fear drink and gambling as we do tlr ser pent. There was never a drunkari who deliberately planned to brake .lis lfe the life of a drunkard. He was first tempted and fell and finally was una ble to live without liquor
 "Au men of success must have a Christian character. I say that not as a preacher but as d man. We need Christian character in jhe world and to be successful we must have i;. All history teiis us so and within Our cv n recollections we can not find man who has been a success if he was not of a true and good Christian char peter. Statcsmen, schoi1"s. even nest politicians in fact all master success cs of life are found in he co;gIary of the children of God
