ON CHARACTER BUILDING

In the intr1cacies Of the every day
and day -after-day problem with which
every one of us is surely confronted
the problem of working out our own
salvation and only our own-there is,
In busy and steady construction al
ways, a character which shall. at the
end of the earth-period of our exist
ence, come true and clean by the
white heat of so called retribution, OF
be branded. as far as this world goes.
a failure in this link Of what may
have been and what may be, who can
tell!
Do you busy yourself with the life
problems of the weak man or women,
and you will be most sadly neglecting
your own.
Do you interfere with the great. un-
explained, but actual task OF working
out another's problem OF life. and you
not only harm yourself, but weaken
him.
Life. as surely and as certainly as
the heavens smile and frown above US,
is an individual problem to be dealt
with individually, for it's greatest and
chiefest result is the building and
sometimes, even the rebuilding Of a
character.
Human sympathy is most beautiful
and glorious quality; human advice
and human understanding are perhaps
priceless, human example plays its
great part in the destinies of US all,
but when the question comes down to
the bedrock foundation of the per-
sonal existence of you and me. there
Is no one else this side of eternity who
is able to take up the work for US.
In the work Of building our own
characters, the real reason for our be-
ing here at all. we stand alone. No
Lone can help US die, and no one can
help US live.
Do you helplessly beat your frail
hands against the things that are
and those that are not?
Then you are in but the first stages
of this earthly character building. and
have not yet come to know whereof
you speak-nor Of certain PHILOSOPHERS
Of life.
Character Tests.
One Of the most important charac-
ter tests in all the world is a sudden
necessity for self control.
The strongest man or the strongest
woman will appreciate this sooner or
later, according to the degree of sue
cess which they shall attain. and 1t is
the successful business man today who
remains cool and human and just un-
der the DIFFICULTIES which beset him. It
Is the strongest kind of search lights,
too. upon the. character of a man to
employ and dictate to others 1t is so
very thoroughly UP to him to be eff
fectively just or unjust. and to change
sunshine into bleakness through some
petty tyranny. that you are soon TO

and social position and regularity of
physical features imaginable: her
white shoulders may rise above a
gown which is heavy with the worlds
most gorgeous jewels, and yet she may
be thoroughly overshadowed in the
same breath by a plain ordinary wisp
of a woman who has heart and soul
and a character-that all the world
knows about and loves!
We are all more or less expert in
the line of charac ter reading after all,
but we will continue to fool ourselves
into the time honored freak theory
that every one is so thoroughly trans
parent but our lordly selves.
Most of us, in fact, take snap judR-
ment' the moment we meet a person.
and form an unconscious estimate of
him forewith.
I don't know why we do it, but we
do: and the worst part of It all is
the lamentable fact that we are prone
to forget that he is in one stage or
another Of his particular job of char
acter building and progression; we
forget that he, like ourselves, has his
own salvation to work out, aided by
no one in the world and by God alone,
to commit the useless offense of in
terfering with him to the exclusion Of
our own particular and important
problems.
I don't know why we do 1t, but we
do.
And Charity.
The whole thing seems rather pitt
full business to me-some of us with
problems which seem larger and much
more formidable than we are physical
ly or morally or mentally able to cope
with, and all of US vainly attempting
to hide away from the critical eyes OF
each other, when there is so much of
leach other" in all of us, that posing
and masking and hiding constitute the
slightest use in the world.
What we really are-what our char
acters are at any transient state If
their development are as transparent
as crystal. and 1t Is this very human, yet
unexplainable quality given all of US
to searchlight the characters of others,
that should make us Infinitely gentle
and infinitely charitable.
Do you know a beautiful women
whose soul shines through her radiant
eyes, and whose lovely presence clears
the atmosphere as II by powerful
magic?
Do you know q man who inspires
confidence in you at once, whose
strength and ability and gentleness and
self-control excites your honest ad-
miration?
And then have YOU humbly re-
solved to look after the only real side
of yourself. In that you. too, may ap-
pear the beautiful from within?
You have all three been character
building.
