New York tenementdwellers, on their part, may incidentally
learn from DR.. Pranad a few points Of comparison in their favor,
whether intended to be so or not. For instance, fire escapes are not
compulsory in Paris-and IT is certain the landlords don't put Them
up voluntarily. To offset this the visitor remarked that over there
they have smoke-holes in all the ceilings, az vents for the oilstove

MASTERY ADDRESS GIVEN
AT CONVENTION BY GORDON
Over 200 Men at Big Banquet Last Evening Of the YMCA
State Convention Believe in Yourself, in Others
and in God His Appeal

Over 200 men sat down to a most
elegant banquet last night in the Y. M
G. A. gymnasium at the first socia,
gathering of the big state convention
Of North Dakota associations, which Is
being held in Fargo. The principal adj
dress of the evening was delivered BY
DIR. James l.. Gordon Of Winnipeg and
1t was pronounced one of the finest
ever heard in Fargo.
DR.. c. @. Creegan Of Fargo college
was the POSTMASTER of the occasion
and he introduced as the first speaker
of the evening Robert McCulloch, the
vice president of the Fargo Y. NJ. c. A
Mr.. McCulloch on behalf OF the city
extended warm welcome to the Wis
iting association workers and closed
by inviting the visitors to attend the
big celebration of the twenty-fifth an
niversary of Fargo association, which
will be held next June.
In a response Harry Wilson, the
manager of, The Grand Forks Herald
praised the city of Fargo and the loca
association in most ELUSIVE manner
and extended to the convention an in.
vitation to hold its next annual meet
ing In the university town.
A. l.. Miller, the state Y. M. G. A
secretary occupied short time during
the evening with survey. Of the worl
in the field. His report Of the Y. M
G. A. work among the students was
most complimentary and encoura ging
as every school in the state now sup
ports a growing association. During
the last year there has been gain Of
70 per cent in the membership Of the
student associations and the gain oil
enrolled students in Bible study work
has been 33S per cent.
He spoke most highly Of the work
that was being done in the city as
sociations and complimented them on
the rapid progress that they had re-
Gently made. His survey of the un
developed field was very broad and
comprehensive the outlook for new as
sociations in some Of the cities would
be exceedingly bright should there be
good crop next year throughout tbs
state. He also made number OF
recommendations to the state execu-
tive committee.
DR.. Gordon's Address.
DR.. Gordon, the speaker Of the even
ing. was greeted with standing ova-
ton, by the great host of men. He
chose for his subject Manhood Built
Four Square, and from this topic he
worked out his theme in most inter
esting style. He said in part:
81 want to talk about the character
of success, and the success of char
acter. What is success? Wherein is
it related to. character? 1t is a young
mans question and want to present
| it to these young men here tonight
The word success q is mentioned bui
once in the Bible and where found il
the holy writ. is preceded by the wore
| good and is called good success.
a"There is an individual interpreta'
ton of success Every man has hi!
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1911-03-04

own conception of success. 1t may be
to make money, 1t may be to become a
big politician, or something else, but
every person has his own idea of what
success is.
THE popular Interpretation Of sue
cess is--to get there. 1t does not mat
ter SO much how you get there, accord
ing to the popular theory, just SO you
have the ability to get there. A man
may achieve success by a mean lie, but
when there is no character or quality
beneath the success, 1t is not success,
although it may be popularity called
success. People worship success but
to do SO in the right manner they
must have some regard for the moral
quality of the thing.
1.-The highest Interpretation Of sue
cess is--for man to make the most of
himself under the circumstances. The
world owes no man a living, but it
gives him a fair chance to earn a
living and have a living and under
the circumstances he should make the
best living possible.
81 want to talk q little bit about
character. When character is ex-
changed for cash, or such other things
| it is a failure. The time is coming
when a dollar will be not known by a
dollar, but by the company it keeps.
When you have character born in you,
/ live up to its ideal, and you will make
as fine a contribution to the world as
all the money. that You may be able
TO pile up and gather.
Believe in yourself first, and then
believe in others. Encourage yourself,
as encouragement is ones greatest
help. A mans biggest enemy is his
acquaintance who says can't Man is
a victim of circumstances and is a
circumstance of the realm. But one
thing sure; God wants you just as
you are.
''Be a man of courage, and have a
sound mind, sound body and sound
spinal column, all of which go to make
courage. Be able to stand, and stand
alone and stand fast. Copy heroic
men and do not be afraid to differ,
deny or defy"
In closing Mr.. Gordon said: There
is no time so serious to live in as the
present moment Do not go through
this beginning of the twentieth GEN.

swing the world to God"

In cemetery to which many make
.pilgrimages because of certain his
.toric grave there is a tombstone so
ancient looking that the lettering is
Obliterated. 1t records the birth of Il
woman in 1775, and here death in 1865.
Her span of life was ninety years, and
in those ninety years she witnessed
some of the most memorable events
of our country's history. A long life
and an interesting one would be the
conclusion judging by the figures on
the tombstone But looking at that
worn and ancient stone, one wonders
just what life really meant to this
woman?
Did she really grow in those ninety
years? After all, ninety years are a
very brief span in comparison with
eternity, and surely they are given to
us here for some other purpose than
merely to eat and sleep and go through
the conventional routine of living,
whatever that may be from our stand
point. She may have been a good
housekeeper, and a good wife or
mother or sister, all of which is right.
But is this enough? Ought not her
ninety years have something to show
more than this?
Ought one not to grow spiritually in
the phase of existence here? 1t is
right to perform the duties that come
to us whatever they may be, but ought
we not continually to be widening our
understanding of the true meaning of

THE CHRISTMAS BIRD.

The main course may be either the
national turkey or the traditional
goose, just as one likes if the latter
is selected be sure that it is young
and tender. For the filling, mix to-
gether one and one-half cups of hot
mashed potatoes, one cup of softened
bread crumbs, one finely. chopped
onion, one-half cup of melted butter,
two well-beaten eggs, salt, pepper,
and dash of sage. After smuggling and
cleansing the bird carefully, wipe out
the inside and fill with the mixture;
lay several thin strips of fat salt pork
on the breast and legs, and roast On a
rack in a dripping-pan in a hot oven
for two and one-half hours, basting
every ten minutes with the fat in the

The secret Of perpetual youth is no
doubt never to feel old, but it is not
always easy to feel young when one is
advancing well into the forties. Many
women, however, make the mistake of
renouncing youthful exercises and
pleasures before it is really necessary.
and one Of the best of these, l am
sure, is dancing.
Catching sight of my reflection In
the long pier glass in my dressmaker's
room some months back, realized, in
deed, that l was growing uncommon
ly like the conventional embodiment
of the middle-aged woman who has
passively resigned herself to her fate.
when ! am fifty" ] thought bitterly,
Il shall be quite devoid of any grace
and beauty at ALL"
And yet my cousin Blanche, who is
one year my senior, is never taken for
a day over forty.
Thereupon ! went TO call upon
Blanche. Perhaps one of the real Sc
crets of Blanche's appearance Of youth
is her real kindness of heart and her
sympathetic mind. Blanche was at
once interested in my troubles ana
assured me that apart from mere ordi-
nary care in the matter OF diet, fresh
lir, daily baths, and deep breathing,
she ascrbed her comparative youthful
less to the fact that she had never
eft OFF practicing dancing as a means
If exercise.
