Heart TO Heart
Talks
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 a career that
should be m inspiration to every poor
boy and to every real man.
Robert Collyer was known as the
"blacksmith preacher"
He was born in England of a very
poor family. There were many chill
dren and an income pitifully meager.
Robert when a small child was COM
PEELED to go 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 MS
condition. While still a young MAI he
was a blacksmith in Pennsylvania. AT
the same time he preached for little or
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 dogmas of his
denomination and had the courage to
say so. He 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 q 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 rs 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 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 thai
now for young men who a think,
who find new and better ways Of do
ing things, who have Il real message.
This is true in industry, in business,
in literature. in politics and in religion.
. The world always has an open door
for real men.

THE PATH TO SUCCESS.

A New York minister wrote to seven
prominent men Il series of questions as
to their rules for success in life.
He incorporated the replies in a SER
mon, and, although this man is an elo-
quent preacher. this was one Of the
hest discourses ever heard from his
pulpit.
Among the secrets Of success men
toned were honesty, loyalty, absorb
ton in ones work, dependability. In.
vention. earnestness. enthusiasm, tenac-
ity of purpose and hard work.
AS to whether it is hard work or wor.
~ that breaks mel down. all agreed
that hard work would not endanger
any ones physical or mental health,
and two said that hard work is a tonic,
Among the causes Of failure were
mentioned intemperance. immortality,
untruthfulness. cigarette smoking,
making Il drudge of oneself and getting
into debt.
A majority agreed that a college edu-
cation is not necessary, to success,
though it might help the right sort Of
man. If not the right sort it might
prove a detriment.
All agreed that religion is an asset.
but one added that it must be real
and not lip cant or hypocrisy"
All these ideas are old. you say?
Yes. but the beauty in these mems
cases is that they have tried their mot
toes out in actual life and have every
one succeeded. some of them in an emf
nent degree.
They have proved their words.
The men that have won have told
US how they won. almost from the be-
ginning Of history. There have been
thousands of testimonials. and they
have all sounded much like these.
The universally Of the testimony is
a proof Of its truth.
Thus the winners have planted guide
posts all along the road to success. sc
that the wayfaring man. even though
q fool. need not miss the directions.
There are many roads leading from
this main highway.
One is called intemperance. Beware
Of that.
Another Is laziness. Shun it as you
would a pestilence.
A third is untruthfulness. Do not
let your feet stray this way.
A fourth is named debt. You will
find pitfalls in this path.
Avoid the byways. They lead no.
where.
Keep in the middle Of the road.
