ELIOT TO ST. JAMES
FORMER HARVARD PRESIDENT TO
BECOME AMBASSADOR.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 81
In response to an invitation from Presi-
dent Taft delivered at the Harvard din
ner last night DR.. Charles w. Eliot.
president of Harvard university, called
at the white house today and was re
ceived by the President in the blue
room.
1t was understood, as the result of
what was said at the Harvard banquet
last night, that DR.. Eliot was formally
rendered the ambassadorship to Great
Britain, the duties to be assumed with
in six months. 1t was said that DR..
Eliot who is retiring from Harvard aft
er forty years OF service at the head of
that institution, might accept under
these conditions.
No official announcement was made IN
regard to DR. Eliot's visit nor will there
be for the present and the latter cOurte-
ously declined to discuss the tender of
the diplomatic mission in any way. At
the Harvard banquet last night Presi-
dent Taft gave ground for the inference
that DR.. Eliot would be named as am
bassador to Great Britain. Senator Root
first made reference to the matter in his
speech, which the President later said
he endorsed in every way.

Often in that struggle for the HIGH

Often in that struggle for the high
er life, for the realization Of our best
hopes and dreams of character, 1t
must be strange if, as seems to be the
case, there should be no definite rules
Of procedure, If character grew by
chance or at haphazard. The question
recurs, as there any definite plan for
growing character?
1t is a question you do not often
hear spoken; it is seldom committed
to print, but it is everywhere. How
can l be that which l know I ought
to be? Many are the answers given ;
most Of them wholly disappointing
when tested by use, only leaving men
wishing they might learn this business
Of living as easily as they master
their business Of a daily living.
Many are wasting time looking for
impaired goodness, for character by
cataclysmic changes in the life. Too
many are hoping that, going to bed
bad, that they will wake up wholly
good; perhaps that is the reason so
many sleep In church, hoping to be-
come saints in their slumbers. But
character grows naturally; the max
ing of a life does not violate the IN
varying laws Of life
The secret of being the best is being
steadily with the best. If you would
realize your ideals you must keep
yourself in the presence of the ideals,
as they are already relied In other
persons or In other conditions. High
thoughts only come from the practice
OF high thinking. In our friendships,
habits, customs we must live in the
presence Of the best
Ii man would be G. musician he
cannot afford to deluge his ears with
discords; If he would paint, he must
avoid chromos and color conflicts.
Both will gain more from the atmo-
sphere Of great oratorios, symphonies,
and paintings than they can possibly
get from courses of study; the study
they will need. but it will be vain
of the best.
Nowhere does this law of growth,
according to environment and atmo-
sphere, hold more exactly than in the
realm of personal character. And,
most of ell, it holds here in the DO
tency Of personality, in the power of
other lives through friendships and
daily communion to make our lives, to
lead them out into fullness.
There are those In whose presence
1t Is easy to think low thoughts, to
cherish ignoble ambitions; there are
those with whom this is altogether
impossible. whose presence stirs the
best in us, whose nobility suggest yet
greater, fairer heights of life. We may
not be able always to choose our COM
panions, but we can select our friends,
or at least open our lives only to those
that lead US out and up.

HOW TO GROW.
By Henry F. Cope.

ny I1SlIy L. SOpS.
Grow in grace,"-II Peter, u Is.
No one doubts to-day that it is DOS
possible to state definitely the laws
under which all cabbages are grown.
We know these fundamental laws are
invariable, and If we follow them faith
fly, whether in India or in Illinois,
we can be quite as sure of the results
Is it possible to state as definitely the
laws under which character grows?
1t is surely vastly more important
that we should know how to bring the
ultimate product of life to perfection
than we should be able to formulate
precisely the invariable laws govern
ing the development Of weeds and
flowers. Surely we recognize that we
are in life for larger purposes than
tilling the ground; we are here to
make life.
If we have stopped to think Of the
matter at all, we are clear that the
one great purpose for which men live
is to bring character to it's fulIness
and perfection, to learn the lesson of
living the life of goodness, truth and
loving service, to find the full life Of
each in the pomplete living Of all.
When we bring this business of
character development down to simple,
practical terms, it becomes a real
thing to each Of US, a matter of daily
living, Of meeting life's difficulties,
bearing its burdens, opposing its temp
tations, and somehow struggling out
through all into the best we know.

VALUE OF LIFE.
BY Rev. Adam MEG

BY Rev. Adam Macdonald Reoch.
For what is your life? 1t is even a
vapor, that appeareth for a little time
and then vanisheth away.-James 4 IA.
This is an apt metaphor with which
to represent the brevity and evanes-
cence Of life, but it does not tell the
whole story. The cloud which the
text speaks Of as floating idly in the
sky we have imprisoned in our machi-
merry and compelled to do mighty
things. This capacity of fleeing vapor
for energy and work well represents
the capacity of the human spirits for
inspiration and service. This consti-
tutes mans greatest endowment and
is the life Of every faculty and attain
ment
Scripture continually speaks of man
as a vessel or utensil which depends
for its usefulness and worth upon the
value Of its contents. When noble
ideals perish our life descends toward
the level Of the brute, just as vapor,
bereft Of its heat turns again to its
original form comparatively without
value
Life and action carried on In ac-
cordance with true ideals will result
unfailingly in progress. Too often the
monotony of life consumes the energy
which should go toward the realiza-
ton Of our ideals, and when we stand
before the doors Of large opportunities
we are overcome with fear and hesita-
ton.
Man, like the vapor, will never do
his best work except under pressure.
brook will babble until it meets the
dam, when it begins to turn the grist-
mill Without a sense Of responsible
tty a man will develop no force of
character. We should think of our re-
sponstbilities as opportunities. Life is
most truly described in the broad sense
as great opportunity. That is the
way Jesus looked at it. Treasure hid
in a field" "a pearl Of great price"
Talents intrusted to servants" these
are the SMILES He used They all en-
".
Life is, in short the opportunity to
find our true self, and until we have
done that we can never hope to find
the true God. II man gain the whole
world and lose himself it profteth moth
ing. For man can actually and per
manently possess nothing except hirn-
self. Is man entitled to say az live
simply because he eats and sleeps and
is physically well? A human life is
far more complex. The first reed pipe
gave forth music, but its descendant,
the great organ, gives forth melody.
The complete life is one in which the
religious or spiritual note gathers into
harmony the moral, bringing them also
into harmony with God, the source and
fountain of fire.

Without any preliminaries the House
resumed consideration of the tariff bill.
Mr.. Morgan of Missouri urged protec-
ton for the zinc industry, quoting from
a speech by President Taft that the
primary purpose of a tariff was that
more revenue may be provided for the
government. Mr.. Bradley of California
declared this to be true Democratic doc
trine The primary purpose of the Payne
bin, he contended, was not revenue but
the maintenance of the true Republican
theory of protection. Mr.. Brantley laid
the present deficit at the door of what
he charged was Republican eXtrava-
