ALWAYS ROOM FOR REAL MEN.
By JAMES A. EDGERTON

ALWAYS ROOM FOR REAL MEN
The recent death OF the Rev. Robert
Collyer calls attention to career that
should he an inspiration 10 every poor
boy and to every real man.
Robert Collyer was known as the
BLACKSMITH preacher
He was born in England of very
poor family. There were many chill
dren and an income pitifully meager
Robert when small child was com
PEELED to ga to work in the mills with
his brothers and sisters He worked
fourteen hours every day. Thus he had
no chance for an education
He came to America To better his
condition While still 4 young man he
was blacksmith in Pennsylvania. At
nothing on sunday.
With muscular strength he had gain
ed mental Independence He had
learned to think for himself He came
to doubt some Of the dogmns Of his
denomination and had the courage to
say 50. lie therefore severed his con
nection with that church.
The same mental courage made his
career He again cut loose. this time
from his livelihood went to Chicago
and started in a small church. Being
vigorous and honest and having some
thing to say. he drew other men to
him. He became one of the most popu-
lar preachers in Chicago. He was a
friend of Abraham Lincoln. who had
as little education and as much mental
independence as himself
Later Robert Collyer preached in one
OF the leading churches of New York
city. He was the author of many books
and was known and loved in most civ
ilized lands. At last he died full of
years and honors.
One secret of his power was that he
was always mentally honest with him
self. Another was that he educated
himself. making the world his univer-
sity.
There are those who whine in our
day that the avenues Of advancement
are being closed to the young men.
Rubbish,
A young man like Robert Collyer
would win in any age.
There never was a greater call than
now Tor young men who can think.
who find new and better ways Of do
ing things, who have a real message.
This is true in industry. in business
in literature. in politics and in religion
