ivanquished the weaker in life's un- equal race.
 But the world has been progross- ing. The wisdom of the nighticst in- tellects or the past has been garn- ished out Of the decayed ruins of to- day. that were renowned and popular cities Of the past. Exalted lessons
 have teen learned and crystallized
 into fruition. Indeed, marvellous are the truths that have been gleaned
 from the history of kincdoms and
 empires that floarished in arrogance
 and pride, but today are no more
 Progress. my friends. is a law of
 the infinite. and it is beginning to be und eratood that harmony is the foundation stone of all progress and
 civilization.
 The success of nations in this great work, looking toward the bet
 terment of mans condition. looking
 toward the peace of the world, bids fair to be pronounced and perma- nent. The successful nation should not he measured by its gold and sill yer, by its accumulated wealth. by ! it's standing armies or it's phethora of battleships that whiten the seas. but rather by its respect for and a recognition of the immortal doc | trims Of "The Brotherhood ot Man" In very large measure the sue ! ces4 Of nations. 1t seems to me. sboUl1 be treasured by the same 1 ''yardstick" that measures the sue i cess of the individual From my | point Of view:
 ! Success reloncs 10 the man who : has lived, labored, laughed and low ed: who has plucked the priceless 1 jewel Of noble character from the ! furnace Of Hfe's sacrificial struggle; ! who has walked with his Col across
 sun-rarched deserts to serve a | friend: vbo has teen kind and gen { tie to little children and thereby won | their love: who has also been gener-
 ous to the poor in purse, inspiring | bore in the hearts of the helpless; | whoqe heart is a reservoir or con tentment. reflecting the glow of an undinwed conscience upcn a face of cheerfulness: whose life has heen
 clean and free from taint, from lust
 and greed and avarice: whose love
 for his mother and wife has been so
 true that all womankind challenge
 his chivalroUs resTect; who has s1b-
 sfstuted the love of greatness for
 the greatness Of love. and by thought
 and deed has served the world in
 which he lives. transforming arid
 wastes into verJant vale and flow
 ering dale: whose inventive genius
 has Iightened the burden of oDpress-
 ed labor: who has given the best
 within him to his fellows; who has
 turned the feet of the proiane to the higher walks of life and thus
 saved a soul. who has discovered
 the noblest qualities in others. | who1e life has been an inspirahon . to friend and a rebuFe to foe, and
 whose memory in after years will
 be a tenaiction worthy of the floral . gifts b~crght ny loved ones to his , tomb. With such a cumulOus record
 lie is a success, though the man , die a prince or a pauper.
 ; The neace wave that Is today permeating the enlightened centers . of civilization is relentless power | for good. breaking down barriers l and destroying the shackles of
 pride and prejudice, bigotry and !, boycott, among the governments Ol ! the earth and not only this, brt loos [ ening the spirit of good will and good sense among all progressive
 peorle of the civilize5 nations. Over in orr national capitOl we ' find in the white house the master F workman in his worldwide feace movement, President William How ] ard Taft a man of judicial boise , and bv far the most courageous
 comhative altruist of the new cen r tury.
 ! Surely President Taft Is sounding - the tocsin looking toward universa . reace has given a most beautiful Il } >lrstrstion of that ancient yet truth } ful maxim. ~An es9le's egg vii breed an eagIe no difference where 'tis hatched."
