There is tremendous amount Of

are doing the deeds and living the
life of religion who might well be
unwilling TO wear any of its formal
labels. Whenever a man answers
to the best in himself affirmatively.
whenever he seeks the good of others.
he is turning toward the ultimate

The Divine Ideal.

AS was said at the beginning OF this
discourse. the definition Of honesty
goes further than we think. For where
in the world was there ever . man
who thus ever paid his honest debts.
Diogenes with his lantern goes Up and
down. peering into all faces and say
ing: There is none honest no. not
one" But once there lived an Honest
Man. The Best OF Men that e'er wore
flesh about him" was an honest man.
He met his obligations. every one; to
God. TO his fellows and to himself. He
was true TO his commission: he fin-
ished the work which had been given
him TO do. The measure OF our hon
esty will be our imitation of this ideal
Man. Christ Jesus. To follow In his
steps. this Is to come up to the full
ness of the measure OF the stature OF
a man
And here. in last word. IS the
prayer OF honesty. Would that II
might be written In our hearts and
that we might constantly offer 1t:
Lord. make me like thyseIf,
Lord. make me be myself,
Seeming as one who lives TO thee.
And being what l seem TO be.
