Mere Education Can Never Make
a Cultivated Person.

Unless ungracious and unlovely
traits are removed, and all the virtues
cultivated, mere education which
comes from books and travel and the
possession of money can never make a
cultured person.
What constitutes a cultivated per-
sonality? What is it that uplifts char
acter and beauties conduct?
The answer to both questions can
be found in the advice Budda gave
his pupils five hundred years before
Christ was born: do nothing to an
other that you would not have done to
you" and by Christ's improved rendi-
ton of the motto: do unto others as
you would that they should do to you"
There is no higher phase of culture,
and there is nothing which beauties
conduct and character like the practi-
cal and perpetual use of the Golden
Rule in daily life.
The majority of people regard the
keeping of the Ten Commandments as
literal fulfillment of that rules OBJ
legations; but one who cOmprehends
it's entire meaning realizes that it ap-
plies to every trivial act of daily life

'Cultivated Personality" Means
Pleasure to Eye, Ear, Heart.

The naughty, disdainful and cold
demeanor is incompatible with culture.
Only the vulgarian, with an outward
veneer of polish, puts on airs" The
really cultured, like the really great
souls of earth, are always affable and
simple and natural.
That quality which most uplifts and
beauties character is consideration
Of others and obeyance of ones own
highest instincts.
The man who is considerate of his
fellowmen pays his debts promptly,
does not endeavor to beat his neigh
Dor in a bargain, does not haggle over
prices, and is tolerant of others poll
tical and religious ideas.
He is kind and affectionate in his
family, appreciative of his wife and
and patient and thoughtful
with those in his employ.
All these homeIy virtues "uplift and
beautify the character" Without them
the most heroic and brilliant deeds
cannot make an admirable human be-
ing.

What adds TO the mystery of the fur

they were originally called "sea-bears."
