% 1.-THE highest type Of CAEietial zen
tlsmsp' 4 learn that the caRAlNtAts
himself, within ltlhn Z month hsA|S sdenn IRA
INT what Importance hs atteecbed 70
Christian character in the building Of
4 successful career. The question had
hean. put to him to develop hia personal
views, and writing in response the Re-
publfcan candidate said:
Your question suggests. two others
which must be answered in answering
tia: First, what q a Christian char
4eter, and, second. what is, Z successful
career! First, I consider I Christian
character that Of one who holds as Ills
IDEAL 1 compliance with the Two COM
lnlndments given by Jesus Christ, and
who earnestly strives to live up to that
ideal. Second, ! should lde1ae sue
cessful career to be that career which
brings more real happiness to those
II who happen to be within the operation
of the influence Of the person whose
character is in question.
Coming now to answer your in
quiry, should say that . Christian
character in the building OF q success
full career IL it's most important part.
The longer, one lives the more CON
WINGED he, must become that every other
incident and element Of Z career loses
