 "One can so cultivate the love of the pure as to feel so much at home among the things that are pure that he will feel orphaned and lonely when the pure is Absent. The heart may ever be garbed in it's white robes Every one desires to be beautiful; it is in- stinctive; it is right. The secret of beauty is purity of life.

 AS a man is in the intensity of 1 his life, so is he. An intense life is | d strong life. There must be intensity | of conviction, conviction as to truth | and righteousness, a conviction that will hold us with grip that has in it | the very pleasure of God. and that will move us onward with a momentum

 Finally. as a man is in the integ-
 rity of his personality, so is he. Be ing is everything. It conditions happi- ness: it determines and measures ser
 vice. A mans happiness depends on
 what he is in himself A mans service
 to others is conditioned upon what he
 is in himself. Being is basic of doing. As the speed of the electric car is de- termined by the energy stored in the power house, as the power of the pis-
 tor rod is determined by the push of
 accumulated steam, so personal power is determined and measured by char
 acter. For thirty years men studied
 Dwight L. Moody to find out the se-
 eret of his power Some thought they
 could account for it by his earnest, fer
 vest passionate spirit, but the world
 has come to know that his power was
 in his character. It was goodness, and
 love, and sincerity, glowing and throb- ping in thought. and word, and deed,
 and act that made Moody the power
 he was. This is supreme power - a character indwelt by the Divine Pres ence. and radiant with the Divine Ho Illness. Jesus Christ is at once the
 ideal and the Inspiration of such a character. Our ability to realize the
 ideal is dependent upon the inspiration of the indwelling Christ.
 We can never become Christ-like
 by simply copying Christ. Men study the earthly life of Jesus, admire it's
 simplicity, and beauty, and tenderness
 and resolve to be like him. They try
 to be-and fail Salvation by example - only is always failure. The goodness
 that come as the result of imitation . Only of another, however good, is cold and mechanical. It does not sparkle.
 It is an accomplishment rather than a genius What we need, men, is not , only to try to act like Jesus, but to have the same Divine Spirit working , at the core Of our lives that worked . at the core of His life. Let the Holy
