Some PHILOSOPHERS assert that

Yet there is an intimate con-

"A DO you think l have

What do you say? Am a fall

1t all depends upon how you
rate success. If you think that
the dollar mark is the high-water
mark OF human achievement, then
you are a failure. But, judging
by the same standard, you would
be in pretty good company Any

the man who is successful as a

his superior shrewdness to those
about him. The richest man in
the community is always the most
hated man. He's a failure as a
friend, because he has always
thought first of himself and be-
cause he distrusts everybody, be-
lieving everybody to be as selfish
and self seeking as he is. 1t is
the penalty Of wealth that it is
friendless and lonely.
More Common Among Rich.
The very successful money
maker is nearly always a failure
as a husband. 1t takes all of his
time and thought and interest to
accumulate a fortune, and he has
no leisure in which to be SYM
pathetic and tender to his wife.
Divorce is far more common
among the rich than it is among
the poor, and there are probably
no other women, as a class. who
are more unhappy than the poor.
rich women who are married to
our great financiers.
The men who are the most sue
cessful financially are the greatest
failures as fathers. In place Of
personal affection and guidance
they give their children money.
The result is disaster. They raise
up MASTERS and spenders, who are
a curse to themselves and a dis
grace to the parents that bore
them. There is scarcely a rich
man who has not had to pay a son
out of some shameful scrape. or
to buy a divorce for a daughter.
The man who has given his
family nothing but money is a
failure as a husband and a faith
err The man who has made his
wife so happy that her heart sang
for joy all her days, and whose
children love and cling to him and
make of him their best friend. is
a success. no matter if they have
only had bread and butter TO eat,
instead of cake and ale. Such a
man is a success as a citizen,
because he has given TO his coun-
try boys and girls who grow up
into useful men and women.
The most successful man or
woman is the one who has the
most influence for good, and who
gives the greatest uplift to those
whose lives touch his or hers.
The most successful man
know is the one who will leave 10
fortune to build memorial libra
ries or hospitals when he is gone,
because he paid his employees
such good wages and found so
much poverty to alleviate as he
went along that he has never been
able to accumulate much money.
In his old age he is comparatively
poor and he sometimes says 10
me that he feels that he has been
a failure.
Example of Right Living.
Yet his life has been an exam
pie of right living to all about
him.
Wherever he has gone he has
carried hope and cheer, and given
fresh courage and inspiration,
and his presence has been like a
benediction upon every house he
entered. As husband. as father,
as son and brother as friend and
neighbor, he has been true and
tender, and stanch and loyal
None has known him who has not
been the better for it. Peace has
followed in his footsteps and hope
blOomed where he trod. and the
good that he has accomplished is
not to be measured in terms Of
money. God alone can calculate
that sum.
