Rev. l.. NJ, Thompson, pastor of
the first NJ. II. Church, delivered an
able and most interesting discourse
last Sunday evening, taking for his
subject "a Modern Definition of
Success. He read for his text a
definition of Success given by Mrs.
Stanley OF Lincoln, Kansas, for
which she received prize of $3.50.
This definition IL worthy to be
framed, placed upon your deck and
made part of the philosophy OF
your life. 1t reads:
HE has achieved success who
has lived well, laughed often and
loved much; who has gained the re-
spect of intelligent men and the love
Of little children; who has filled his
niche and accomplished his task
who has left the world better than
he found 1t, whether by an improved
poppy. a perfect poem or rescued
soul; who has never lacked apprecia
tion of earth's beauty or failed to
express it; who has always looked
for the best In others and given the
best he had; whose life is all inspira.
tion, whose memory benediction. y
