attr all this quality is not found in any
material substances, It Is tho charac-
teristic excellence OF the human spirit
alone. After the material structures that
arc In the world oven the most endur-
ing OF them, havo been burned up, the
characters of the builders, DO they good

short OF the Christian ideal whom he says.

character will survive and endure.
