You may say that you have failed too
often, that there Is no use in trying
that 1t is impossible for you to sue
coed and that you have fallen too Of
ten even to attempt to get OF your feet
again. Nonsense! There is no failure
for a man whose spirit is unconquered.
No matter how late the hour or how
many and repeated his failures sue
cess is still possible The evolution
Of Scrooge, the miser, in the closing
years of his life, from a hard, narrow.
heartless money grubber, whose soul
was imprisoned In his shining heap
of boarded gold, to generous, genial
lover OF his kind. is no mere myth
of Dickens brain. Time and again. in
the history of our daily lives. chron-
icled In our newspapers, recorded in
biographies or exhibited before our
eyes, we see men and women redeem
ing past failures, rising up out Of the
stupor Of encouragement and boldly
turning face forward once more.-O.

their overcoat collars made of. 1t Is a
