 Whoever has no ambition has not properly begun to live. Ambition i'm plies appreciation of the value of life weighing of prospects and possibili- ties-a decision, and a fixed determi- nation of will. Parents and teachers should aim to lift before the mental vision of the young noble ideals. and to assist them in determining what they would copy and which goal they will bend lifes energies to reach. To such parents and teachers many of those successful in life refer in terms of en- dearment. declaring how much they owe to the encouragement of ideals and ambitions to which these assisted them.
 Many Woe Begone Faces.
 As we learn to read character and to observe people. we perceive that many are wholly without ambition; or that | their ambitions are so low and trivial as not to be of real benefit In crowd of thousand people. less than hun dred will show by their faces and their energy that they have an ideal. an am bition. and are pursuing it. In other 1 words. nine-tenths of our poor. fallen race lack the very handspring of life.
 This lack of proper ambition not only
 makes life drudgery instead of pleasure but it is a menace to our so- cial fabric According to the Bible. it is this nine-tenths of the human fam | ily, without lawful ambitions. that will be anarchists. striving to pull down the structure of civilization in d kind of blind fury-the awakening of an am bition which. knowing not how to vent itself. will bring trouble upon all.

 mental edifices. in the construction of

 There is d general tendency among he ambiticn!ess to view these success | ul people harShly. to think of their lmbitionS as purely selfish. giving no redit to the pleasure of an exercise # ambition which the majority cannot
 ppreciute because they have none | themselves.
 Contrary Thounhts Should Prevail.
 Men with ambition leading on to
 genius should be admired. appreciated; md it should be remembered that they nave helped mankind in general to, lar ger conceptions of life and to wider possibilities. grant. indeed, the De
 esSity for legislation in restraining the
 rich, and especially trusts and com binati0ns of brain and money which
 might endanGer the liberties and pros perity of the masses. But let us never | forget how much we owe to the ambl- | tious men whom we seek to restrain from power to crush those of less am

 OF less dependent upon them.
 | As proving that some of our success I rul men were moved by ambition rather
 than love of money. we note the fact | that. having accumulated vast for .unes. some are directing their ener l gieS in eXpending the money in the en- | dowment of colleges the building of li-
 braries. the financing of political and | medical investiga tiOns for public veal. | Whether their judgment and ours agree as respects the wisdom of their bene- | factions is another matter. They have
