Those who have achieved greatness
IN the past have done SO because Of
their ideals, The young Macedonian
conqueror had as one great purpose
in life, the unification Of all Greece,
and no man before his day achieved
such glory in war as he Had his
ideals of manhood and morality equal
ed bis ideals Of war and statesman
ship be most certainly would have
eqnaled the greatest men Of all time.

The psychologists tell us that man
is possessed Of an intellect, Of sensi-
bilities, or heart-power, and Of win,
Or power Of action, and It is Of ideals
that pertain TO these that wish to
speak On if YOU Will, Of ourselves and
our ideals 1 might raise the question,
what is man. or what are we but
the answer is one and the same, and so
Is the application Of the principle that
obtains in either case X x *
Human experience tells us that man
is bundle Of strange contradictions,
and Holy Writ affirms that He was
created little lower than the angels
yet he thinks he knows; and this is
intellect. We are what we are mainly
because of our intellects, and we
achieve greatness in this sphere in ac-
cordauce with our ideals. Kepler, for
example, made his great discoveries
because he used bis brain, and New
ton discovered the law Of gravitation
because be thought. BY thinking was
the world wrought out by its Maker;
for By wisdom God created the heay-
ems and the EARTH and By thinking
are all great achievements brought to
pass by those who do the real work
Of life Herein, probably, as nowhere
else is It true that "as a man thinketh
SO is he II he thinks high thoughts
bis deeds are high il he thinks low
\ thoughts his deeds are low Therefore
fashion Ideals now, and that as high
as p0asible. Set no low standards foi
the training Of the intellect Let one
read all the good books one can be-
fore the age Of 20. Tor after that time
ones chances for reading grows less

facing one Of the grave problems

"At a meeting of bankers and of
ficials of the building associations
last night, it was decided to appeal
for federal aid. The banks and
building associations have so mil
lion dollars in assets they will put

advisable to ask the government to

We feel that the disaster is an emer-
