for hard, wearing labor, is the sight
which greets the eye in Takoma Park
Here. as a result of a call sent out by
the General Conference Committee OF
Seventh-day Adventists some time ago,
ministers of this denomination occupy
ing high positions in the counsels OF its
governing bodies are assembled, having
laid off their ministerial robes and
donned the laboring mans attire, in
order to accept the committees invita-
ton to erect the enormous encampment
in which the thousands of delegates and
visitors will live who come to attend
the sessions of the thirty-ninth session
Of the General Conference of Seventh-day
Adventists which will convene on the
18th of May and continue until the Sth
Of June.
Instead of arranging to have the city
of tents erected by hired help. call was
sent out to- the ministers OF the denomi-
nation residing within a radius of five
hundred miles,. inviting them to come to
Washington a. few weeks preceding the
opening of the conference session and
assist in the erection of the encampment
and live. on the grounds.

listed in the Marine Corps, but had been
absent without leave, and was threatened
with dishonorable discharge on the
ground Of desertion. My visitor, good
citizen and a patriotic American. was
stung to the quick at the thought of such
an incident occurring in his family, and
he explained to me that it must not oc-
cur. that there must not be the disgrace
to the family. although he would be de-
lighted to have the offender handled
rough to teach him a needed lesson: he
added that he wished ! would take him
and handle him myself, for he knew
would see that he got all that was conf
ing to him.
Then a look of pathos came into his
eyes. and he explained: THAT boy l just
cannot understand. He was my sister s
favorite son, and L always took a spe-
cial interest in him myself. l did my
best to bring him up the way he ought
to go. But there was just nothing to
be done with him. His tastes were nat
urally low. He took to music" What
form this debasing taste for music as
sumed / did not inquire; and L was able
to grant my friends wish.

tried to get couple Of hours exercise

translations of it which always espe-

who had carried the essay all through

There are two kinds of success, or
rather two kinds Of ability displayed in
the achievement of success. There Is,
first, the success either in big things or
small things which comes to the man
who has In him the naturakpower to do
what no one else can do, and what no
amount of training, no perseverance or
Will power, will enable any ordinary
man to do. This success of course, like
every other kind of success, may be on
a very big scale or OIL a small scale.
The quality which the man possesses
may be that which enables him to run
a hundred yards in nine and three-fifths
seconds, or to play ten separate games
of chess at the same time blindfolded,
or to add five columns of figures at once
without effort, OF to write the ode to
a Grecian Urn." or to deliver the
Gettysburg speech. or to show the abil-
ity of Frederick at Leuthen or Nelson
at Trafalgar.
No amount of training Of body or mind
would enable any good ordinary man to
perform any one of these feats. or
course the proper performance of each
implies much previous study or training,
but in no one OF them is success to be
attained save by the altogether excep-
tional man who has in him the something
additional which the ordinary man does
not have.
This is the most striking kind Of sue
cess, and it can be attained only by the
man who has in him the quality which
separates him in kind no less than in
degree from his fellows.
But much the copmoner type of sue
cess in every walk of life and in every
species of effort is that which comes to
the man who differs from his fellows
not by the kind of quality which he pos
sesses, but by the degree of development
which he has given that quality. This
kind of success is open to large number
of persons. If only they seriously deter
| mine to achieve it. 1t Is the kind OF sue
cess which is open to the average man
of sound body and fair mind. who has no
remarkable mental or physical attributes.
but who gets just as much as possible in
| the way of work out of the aptitudes

and ocean steamships and long-dis

the largest business in the world to-

$1,000 to $4,000 apiece, while some

the higher figure.
