man is naturally weak has taken
such full possession of their mental
! tiles.
But Is 1t not high time that this
mistake-one of the worst mistakes
| in history-be corrected? Is the idea
| that man Is a weakling so funny that
We can laugh at il in the theater;
or is it such a profound and impor-
tant truth that we should want TO
pay educators large salaries to pro
claim it all over the world We
| know too much about psychology TO
pay for such ideas any more, or to
send anyone to any part of the world
to teach such detrimental doctrines;
and knowing what We do in this re-
spect, we cannot permit such ideas
to be expressed in our presence un-
der any circumstances without con
tradicting them in the most emphatic
manner.
That man is weak in many respects
is true, but ne is weak in those re-
spects because he has not been per-
mitted to give expression to his
strength False doctrines and detri-
mental beliefs have stood in his way
and have caused him TO act the part
of a puppet, when nature has actual
ly made him king. We simply have
to study human nature in general
manner to discover that man is re-
markabiy strong in many things; and
when We study his nature more thor
oughly We find that he is marvel
| in all things. We therefore should
expect him to show his strength, to
express all his power, and thereby
prove that he is by nature neither
wholly bad nor very weak.
The truth is that man is wonderful
ly made. He is in possession OF pow
ers and possibilities that are nothing
less than extraordinary. He has men
tai strength enough to overcome any
adversity. He has moral strength
enough to place every temptation be-
meath his feet, and he has spiritual
strength enough to become an abso'
lutte monarch in his own demain.
This is the truth about man. and
it is time it was being taught. 1t is
also time that we expect every man
to follow the path that is lndicaed
by his strength, and never to give
way to his weakness. Let no mar
excuse himself and say, I am simply
, man: because to be man is to De
marvel, and every man shoulc
be proud to prove that he can be un
der every circumstance, all that ma
ture has created him to be.
The truth about man demands tina
every man be taught what he cal
do. that he be encouraged to do wha
he can do, that he be expected to DC
what he can do, and that We shoulC
under no circumstances excuse maj
for being less than man. 1t Is nix
privilege to be all of a man, and ht
should consider it rare honor Il
exercise this privilege at all times
and under all circumstances.
A FRIEND TO MAN.
