suuDiNo up rHE CHARACTER
A Few Words to the Youth Who Would
Make the Hiost 81 Life.


II Is wen that the majority Of us
value being well thought Of Few
young men. anxious to make the most
Of life, care to have what is common
" known as a bad reputation" Do
you, young man, ever stop to think
that there are immutable laws that
control the universe and all therein7
DO you ever consider that light is
only the evidence OF a luminous body?
That the brilliancy o. the diamond is
merely the rays reelected from the
perfectly crystalized carbon? Reputa-
ton is only the reflection from char
acter as 1t Is variously projected upon
the screen Of public opinion; but rep
utation Is not character any more
than the light is the luminous body.
but Is merely the effulgence, the re-
suit Of character.
The imitation diamond for time
may rival in spIendor and brilIiancy
the reflections Of light Of the genuine
gem, but this brilIiancy is soon dulled
The same with reputation, which
sometimes attaches to character
which will not stand the test Of time,
or the scrutiny Of the exacting eye Of
justice. Week after week we read
in the pages Of the press OF the
downfall and disgrace OF men hign in
public estimation. and who, until their
duplicity was exposed. were men OF
most excellent reputation-reputation
reflected falsely from an unclean char
acter.
Character is the mold Of moral con-
sciousness. 1t is the outgrowth OF
the heart carefully nurtured by truth
and love and directed by intelligence
solely influenced by that which Is
moral in man. It is by reputation
that we are to be judged BY those
with whom we are thrown IN either
business or social intercourse. Our
own acts are the standard by which
we will be either praised or con.
demned. Our own acts are the indIca-
tions OF the spirit within. Though we
may be most excellent in character,
sometimes we may be falsely estimat
ed; may acquire through some misun-
derstood circumstance areputation un-
desirable. But character ever counts.
1t is sure to bring to the front its
worth. The diamond may be robbed
Of Its brilliancy for time by CRIME
and dirt. but it is nevertheless a dIa-
mond. Your true worth may be OBJ
scured for time, but It is sure to
become known.
Character Is the greatest thing the
young man has to guard It Is the only
sure foundation upon which hopes can
be rightly based. He who is true to
himself cannot be untrue to others.
Would you have character and Frepu-
tation, you must work, constantly, un-
ceasingly. as conscience becomes dead.
ened and degenerate when not exer-
cised, and conscience directs the
building of character. There ara
qualities in man that mark his great.
ness and his superiority--the moral
and the mental, and it is by the exer-
else Of these that greatness and sue.
