consequence to cherish and promul-
gate. No idea can be formed of the
important effect such habits would
produce. An unwavering confidence
and an inward tranquility would not be
least of its benefits.
For no species of deception can be
practieed without causing vexation
and trouble to the practicer, and many
a cheek has flushed, and MANY heart
palpitated at apprehended or realized
detection of mistake and exaggeration
in common conversation. Exaggera-
ton is but another name for falsehood.
AS another ingredient in the make
up of a true man, / would seek to
develop integrity of character. Purity
of mind and heart is the foundation
of all that is high in character among
mankind. Other qualities may add to
its splendor, but, if this essential ele-
ment be wanting, all their lustre
fades. If a man has the reputation
of being fair and upright in all his
dealings, he will possess the confidence
of his fellows. Purity, holiness and
spirituality gives man protection.
There is a world wide, demand for
men that are honest and true to the core
men that will stand for the right it
the heavens totter and the earth reels;
men that can tell the truth and not
lie; men that have courage to live the
truth. The courageous man is an ex-
ample to the interpid, his influence is
magnetic.
Courage is the quality which all de
light to honor. 1t is the energy which
rises to all energies of life. It is the
perfect will which no terrors can
shake. It will enable one to die, It
need be, in the performace of duty.
All the great work of the world has
been accomplished by courage. Every
blessing that we enjoy, personal Sc
eurity, individual liberty and constitu-
tional freedom has been wrought out
through long apprenticeships OF evil.
Four centuries of martyrdom estab-
lished christianity; q century OF civil
wars introduced the reformation;
seven years of war gave us this great
nation; three years of cruel civil war
gave us the glorious New South.
AS crowning virtue, bestow upon
character, humility. A freedom from
pride and arrogance gives sweetness
to character that draws men as the
magnet needle. Modesty is the bal
ance wheel to hold the strong man to
a conservative life. Newton, the
philosopher, one of the greatest men
the world has produced, the discoverer
of the law of graVitation and the decom
position of light, modestly said, that
he felt himself but child playing by
the seashore gathering here and there
pebble, while the immense ocean of
truth lay all unexplored before him.
No humility is perfect and proper
tional but that which makes us hate
ourselves as corrupt, but respect our
selves as immortal; the humility that
kneels in the dust, but gazes into the
skies.
He that loves God until he fears
nothing is the typical christian, the
ideal man, and out Of MIN proceeds all
kindness, all truth, all love, all faith,
all selfrespect. all needful restraint,
all things that go to make full man,
moving in all ranks Of society natural
ly and easily. He is the teacher to
educate youth; to build character in
the school room. r. A. 5.
