and the endless procession of hearses
are saying. If vocalized, their ex-
hortations would be: Get ready!
There's gap to be filed. a task to
be done Get ready
Success is wholly q matter of defin-
ition: and many persons believe that
one of the most important. tasks con-
fronting the institutions of higher
learning is the formulation of a
worthy definition Of success that will
be accepted by the youth of the land.
The majestic Recessional, like most
of the Hottest Christian hymns, ends
with an appeal to the
God of our fathers, known of old"
That is an inspiring truth concerning
Jehovah; he was our fathers God"
As he was with them SO he will be
with US. GAS I was with Moses, so
will be with thee; will not fail thee.
Lord abides changeless and depend
able. That is a supreme factor in sue
cess.
Three times in the nine verses
which form this lesson Jehovah ex-
horts Joshua to "Be strong." That is
the primary qualification for achieve
ment in this present world. Even
brains, hampered by weakness, can not
master circumstances. Force of char
.
forceless, fearful anxiety to please
everybody is never found in a success
full personality It is better to serve
men than to please them: and only the
strong can serve. An unknown poet
voices the truth thus:
BE brave!
The day will dawn. however dark the
night:
The right will win, however fierce
The end is sure, however far from
sight.
Not ours to shirk or shrink, to doubt
Not ours to turn from hardships seen
Not ours to falter whereso'er we're led.
'Be brave!
The road will brighter grow through
out its length:
The load will lighter grow through
added strength;
The goal will turn to helpful staff at
length.
"Be brave!
With crown of thorns Truth still
adorns her own;
On scaffold, cross and gibbet rears her
throne;
Her altar stands where each must
stand alone.
BE brave!
The coward lives and dies an abject
slave;
The fearful is tryant, fool and
knave;
Omnipotence is only with the brave"
Only once does the Bible use the
word success Then it qualities it
with the adjective good Here is
what Jehovah considers a program for
good success. This book of the
law shall not depart out of tEv mouth.
hut thou shalt mediate therein day
and night. that thou mayest observe to
do according to all that is written
therein: for then thou shalt make thy
way prosperous, and then thou shalt
have good success.

years continually. 1 lost a great
deal of sleep, which together
with constant worry left me in
such a nervous state that finally,
after having two collapses Of
nervous prostration, I was
obliged to give up travelling al
together. I doctored continually
but with no relief. DIR. Miles
Nervine came to my rescue-I

which this Nervine saved me.

nervous a few doses relieve me-"

There is but one thing to do

the use of DIR. Miles Restora-

Apropos of the renaissance OF inter-

that just now the work of the London
Missionary society in the Island of
Madagascar, which was counted its
brightest achievement, has undergone
a very serious recession because of the
anti-Christian propaganda carried on
by the French government, suppressing
some organizations and preventing the
meeting OF others. This persecution OF
the missionaries and their converts is
due to the atheistic views of the pres
