ton is what ails our time. People
are not ambitious enough, or for the
right things. Would that there might
sound through the land clarion voice
to our youth, bidding them to coVet
earnestly the best gifts" Our trou-
bled day sOrely needs men and wom-
en- with resolution so high that only
the Ioftiest aims content them-ex-
allied patriots, great hearted brothers
of men, knightly soldiers of the Christ.
Amid all the popular talk about the
waste of resources, let US speak up
concerning the first class lives that
have been put to second class uses;
the men who might have been states
men, poets, artists, preachers ana ser
wants of the race. who have been con-
tent to be mere money makers Their
real failure is not cloaked by the tag,
Successful business men, which they
proudly wear It is not success Tor a
first rate person to win a second rate
victory. The man who could sit IN
the nations councils is at least par
tial failure if he is merely the leading
politician of his home town. Con
slider the brilliant corporation lawyers
who should be in congress and in state
legislatures The executive capacity
that is spent in a business position
when it should be used in great en-
terprises of human service cannot be
unreservedly praised. Success consists
in the highest employment of ones
talents.
Too low they build who build be-

Four things a man must learn to do,
If he would make his record true:
To think without confusion clearly,
To love his fellow men sincerely.
To act from honest motives purely.
To trust in God and heaven securely.
Henry van Dyke.
Most young persons are looking for
a position: the wisely ambitious are
| looking for task. And he who works
for works sake will never want for
was~s.
That restless and imperial spirit,
Paul of Tarsus, was ambitious, he said,
to preach the gospel where Christ was
not already named, lest he should
build upon another's mans foundation.
He wanted to do his own work, eX-
pressing his own life at its highest
value. He was a pioneer soul, seek
ing some new world to conquer, for
the good of man and the glory Of
God. To make a blade of grass grow
where none had grown before did not
content him: he sought to plant a
perennial harvest. With that sort of
man it seems as if all the forces of
heaven love to cooperate.
Only by the ladder of better do men
climb to the heights Of best.
