Heart toHeart
Talks.

BY EDWIN A. NYE.

PUT YOUR IDEAL 10 WORK.
1t is good to have an ideal.
But
Ideals are nothing il they do not
lead up to the real. To be worth while
they must lead you somewhere and
land you somewhere.
This is the test: Try your ideal on.
II 1t is good the results will be good.
You can test the tree Of idealism by its
fruits.
An ideai Is picture In your mind
OF what is supremacy to be desired
1t is vision OF what ought to be
And it is an impulse to better things.
An ideal is more than dream.
If you only dream you are not a good
idealist. II you dream long and hest
tate you are not an idealist at all: you
are merely Micawber waiting for
something to turn up. If you are a
true idealist you will go out and turn
something up.
4 true ideal is big idea that has
worked its way down from your head
into your heart. 1t beckons-and leads
terminal facilities.
You want to do or be. Well
The ideal takes hold of you where
you are and as you are and puts You
in motion-and in the right direction.
1t leads you to goal.
Lincoln had true ideal.
1t was given him by his wilderness
mother. who. when dying. called the
nine-year-old boy TO her bedside and
said: II am going away. my boy. but
want you to remember that your
mother wants you to be a good and a
useful man." That ideal-goodness
and usefulness-led Lincoln up to the
heights.
Jefferson had an ideal-to weave the
web Of democracy into the warp of
organic law. 1t took him also to the
high ground of greatness.
Ideals are living issues. not mere
longings.
And your ideals it good? Then
harness it to your life forces in such a
way that it will lead you to noble &C.
complishment.
Hold fast to it. Dream the dream,
but-make the dream come true.
Dream? Yes. but do!
Link your ideal to your will power.
Then something must move, because
you have linked Gods power with
yours.
