greater the obligation upon you to do

reer.
'-ofher young men seem 70 think
that they are honoring the world by
living I'm Il all. and that the world
owes them living. whether they do
anything or not. The sooner any
young man comes down from such q
pedestal as that the better for him.
Tho world doesn't owe any man a
living. but every man owes the world
a lie. worthy OF man made IN the
image OF God. endowed with reason
gifted with Immortality. The very
fact OF our being here and occupying
space. aud receiving all the benefits
OF the civilization that others have
prepared for US. places upon Us the
obligation 10 do all In our power for
the progress and prosperity and the
happiness OF the world. Let US not
sit idly upon our perch absorbed In
admiration Of ourselves. and thinking
Of what the world owes us. but let US
take our places In the great and noble
army. OF the worlds workers. whom
Carlyle calls The celestial bodyguard
Of the empire OF mankind"
The speaker then took up the ques-
lion OF what business or profession
ia young man should enter. and sug-
gested three principles for their guild
ance IN settling this important ques-
ton. The fi-st OF these was that they
should consider the openings. and not
crowd into trade OF business or pro-
fesxion that Was already packed and
crowded and running over. The Sec
ond suggestion was that they should
consider their own qualifications. and
not pcsh into a position they could
never ilI. or undertake work they
could never do. saying that II would
be far better TO succeed as hod-
carrier than 70 fail an q doctor or q
lawyer. The third suggestion was
that they should consider where and
IN what line Of work their life was
most needed and whore II would count
Tor the most. "you and r." said the
speaker have but one life TO live. and
we want TO make the most OF II. We
want TO Invest our lives where they
will yield the largest returns. God
has placed us here as his agents. his
stewards. his representatives. He has
given W. our talents. our energies. our
possessions. ~ the capital with which

God has need OF earnest. faithful ser
vice in every department Of life. The
possibilities OF usefulness that lie In
the path OF the consecrated Christian
business man are very great. There Is

and factory. behind the counter. at the

Kingdom OF God and his righteousness
There never was a time when there
were brighter prospects and larger
opportunities before young men Of
brains and energy and character than
there are today, and there Ia no place
under the sun. ! believe, where there
are largr openings before such young
men than right here In our own rapid
ly developing Southland. And n you
have entered upon business career.
or are going TO enter one, bid you
sodspeed In Il. nd urge you 10 put
into your chosen work all the skill
aud energy and ability God has given
you. and make the most OF Il. ind the
most OF yourself In a. But let me urge
you TO keep your aims and your ideals
high high and pure and noble. II Is
not SO much what you do. as how.
and from what motives and principals
you do II. that makes your life great
or small, blessing or a curse. What
you yourself become is vastly more
important than what you get What
you make OF yourself Is far greater
concern than what you make OF you
business. or than what. you make from
your business.
The speaker then went on 10 show
how these same principles apply TO
professional life just "a fully as 10
what we are accustomed TO call busi-
ness life. and spoke In glowing terms
to the young men OF the opportun-
tiles that young men Of high ideals
and a noble purpose would find In
such professions as law. journalism,
civil engineering, medicine, teaching,
and the gospel ministry, and urged
them. whatever calling they might
choose, TO make of Il the highest
and truest success. This brought up
the question as to what Is meant by
success.
Success" said DR. Leyburn,
does not necessarily mean making a
fortune, laying up money. Money IL
q good thing In the hands OF man
who has sense enough and grace
enough TO use Il wisely, for the glory
OF God and the good OF the world,
but many OF the greatest and most
truly successful men OF the world
were poor men all their lives. while
many OF the richest men OF the world
are among its saddest failures.
Neither does making a success neces-
sariIy mean reaching the goal we
have set before us. Moses never
reached the land OF Canaan. but sure
~. no man would call hts life a fail
ure. Nero reached his goal. and be-
came Emperor OF Rome, but you and
I would hardly call his successful
life. What, then, do we mean by
successY What is Il to make a sue
cess OF lifeY IL means using to the
best advantage. and to the highest
ends. and with all your might. all
that God he's entrusted to you. NAH

Second Of the series 10 young men.
by Dr. Leyburn. Prov. 22:2s--
"seest thou a man dIligent In buxi-
nessy He shall stand before kinEs;
he shall not stand before obscure
men" Luke 2:se-"wist ye not that

nessT
The speaker began by saying that
he wanted 70 use the word shusi-
ness" IN its larger sense. OF mans
occupation. his LIES work. whatever
q might be. whether work OF the
hand. work OF the head. or work Of the
heart. A mans vocation. Ia whatever
sphere he might serve. And his ilrst
point. which he emphasized with
great force. was that every young
man should have a business. a work
TO do IN the world. and should do Il
with all his might. "The only two
classes OF people who hare any right
TO be idle In world like ours" do
clared the preacher. ARE babies and
invaiids. You sometimes meet young
men who think that because their an
cestors were great and good men. and
filled a large place and did a great
work In the world, that the world
owes them. the descendants. special
honor and special consideration. and
that there is no obligation resting up
on them 10 do anything. They can

OF their ancestors. But no young
man can reach very high IN the world

or BY climbing his family tree. It's
n good and pleasant thing 70 be able
10 look back upon long line Of great
and good ancestors. Who did we'll and
nobly thar part In the worlds work.
but the very fact that you have des-
ccndcd from such men places upon
You the obligation 10 build wisely and
faithfully and we'll upon the great and
strong foundation which they have
laid Cor you. The world has a right

life, with all its energies and all its
faculties and all its powers"
The speaker then raised the ques-
ton as TO the qualities and the char
acteristics needed to make a success
OF life In this sense. and emphasized
five of them. The first he mentioned
was honesty. integrity. absolute
trustworthiness In the least, as well
as In the greatest matters. never be-
ing willing to own, o: even handle.
so much as a nickel whose history We
would not be willing for the whole
world to know. The second charac-
teristic, or qualification he empha-
sized was industry, and he went on
to show how no amount OF talent or
ability or training or opportunity
could take the place OF earnest, hard
work. His third Characteristic was
cheerfulness. enthusiasm In work.
tightening the work for ourselves,
enabling US TO do more work and
better work. and Inspiring and help
ing and encouraging others. The
next characteristic mentioned was
persistence. determination, sticking
at IT in spite OF difficulties and OBJ
stacles. The speaker here illustrated
his point by illustrations OF the diff
culties encountered and overcome By
some OF the worlds greatest and
most successful men. He spoke of
Sir Walter SCOTS heroic bearing
when his financial crash came, and
his Titanic labors In paying on the
debts OF his publishers. He called
attention to the similar noble work
OF Mark Twain. or Carlyle's bear
ing when the announcement was
made TO him that the manuscript Of
his French Revolution. upon which
he had been working for years. and
which he considered the masterpiece
OF his life, had been accidentally
burned. or Peter Cooper's heroic
struggle against adversely. and his
final success. Icing able In the end TO
leave q million dollars 10 found the
cooper institute to help other boys
to get a better training for LIES
work than he had been able to get,
and better than the million dollars.
better even than the institute. lcav-
ing them the inspiration OF his own
heroic struggle against adversely.
The last, and what the speaker
called the chief Characteristic OF a
successful worker is trust In God,
and real for his glory; the realiza-
ton that We are here az Gods
agents, transacting business for him,
and the desire that he may be glor..-
fed and honored in all we are and In
all we do; the longing to be able to
say at the end OF life with or Elder
