LAW OF SUCCESS

Success Is acquired by natural
law and when that law is complied
with one can no more prevent success
from coming than he can prevent the
falling of an object that is thrown into
mid.air. The law of success Is as true
as the law of gravitation.
Two men start out in life together
with equal requirements. One will
succeed and the other fail. 1t Is not
a case of happen SO. One finds the
law of success and the other does
not.
The unsuccessful complains of lack
of education, lack of chance, lack of
capital and of the wrongs of others. In
each instance he is only pleading self
justification and surrenders to the
thought that certain limitations sur
round him and admits his inability to
break away from them. He enters u
plea to weakness, II Is an admission
that his handicaps which are his enc.
mics In his own household of thought
have more than he can summon to his
own aid. lie makes of himself the
man pictured by John Bunyan who had
loaded himself down with more things
than he could bear up under. The sue
cessful man may feel the sting of lack
of education, but he prides himself
that all he knows he has power to
use. He never feels the need of a
chance, but finds glory in making one,
lack of capital is overcome by using
capital others are glad to loan him,
the burdens others thrust upon the
unsuccessful he thrills with JOY at the
pleasure of overcoming.
The foundation for success is built
upon aspiration. The light OF sue
cess cannot enter the consciousness
that is not waiting to receive ii with
hope, courage. cheerfulness, good will,
zeal and determination to be some
body, and to accomplish something
worth while. The man who lacks as
piration lacks the first firm foothold
which is depended upon for the next
step toward success. Aspiration aflame
with zeal leads to industry, self-denial
and economy of time. These virtues
attract attention, men of influence be-
come your friends opportunities come
and the first business victory is won,
The next virtue to be sought is humili-
ty. To become vain, proud and puffed
up over SUCCESS is a sure sign that the
enemy of vanity has attacked you. II
must be defeated with its opposite
humility.
There is no law to lead one onward
who seeks wealth for power to crush
or to satisfy a mere empty vanity,
but there is law that leads to ac-
cumulation of wealth to break down
barriers of self-limitation, to open up
new fields of useful endeavor, and
to broaden powers Of worthy accom-
plishment

Now when Jesus was born in Beth
lehem of Judaea in the days of Herod
the king. behold, there came wise
men from the east to Jerusalem,
Saying. Where is he that is born
King of the Jews? for We have seen
his star in the east, and are come to
worship him.
When Herod the king had heard
these things, he was troubled, and
all Jerusalem with him.
And when he had gathered all the
chief priests and scribes of the peo-
pie together. he demanded of them
where Christ should be born.
And they said unto him, in Bethle-
hem of Judaea: for thus it is written
by the prophet,
And thou Bethlehem. in the land of
Juda. art not the least among the
princes of Juda: for out of thee shall
come a Governor. that shall rule my
people Israel
Then Herod, when he had privily
called the wise men, enquired of them
diligently what time the star appear

And he sent them to Bethlehem, and
said, Go and search diligently for the

him, bring me word again, that may

they saw in the east, went before
them, till it came and stood over
where the young child was.

FlGHr AGAINST WHITE PLAGUE

"Spugs" Is the name given TO So
called Association for the Prevention
of Useless Gifts" It's career begins
and closes with Yuletide. II origi-
mated in jest but gained a nationwide
notoriety because of its commendable
purposes,
The reception given the "SDugs'
idea reflects the possibilities of a
mere suggestion, aptly placed and
timed to fit an occasion of universal
observance.
But suppose useful Gifts" had
been substituted for Useless Gifts?"
The suggestion prevalent in some
quarters that "Spug" was narrow
ly constituted individual seeking eX-
cuse for evasion of the true Christian
spirit, would not have gained circula-
tion.
Useful Gifts" are worthy of chari-
table applcation-the relief of man
kind.
Useless Gifts" are usually the
product of the thoughtless imbued
with the idea that originality or beau
ty appeal most to our appreciation.
1t is the timely gift; the timely
charity that pleases both the giver
and the recipient. To know that you
have pleased is not as commemorative
to the giver as to know that you have
materially aided some one by your Civ
ing
Had the organization of "Spugs" di-
rected a campaign for useful Christ

avenues open for the best dissemina-
tion of their energies, there is no

good health, are some of the conclu-
sions of bulletin by DR.. John A. Fer
rell on Rural Schools and Hookworm
Disease" just issued for free distri-
button by the United States bureau of
education.
"Hookworm disease Is one of the
most prevalent, most insidiously harm
full and most completely preventable
diseases known to man." declares Dr.
Ferrell. "It causes human suffering
and economic waste altogether out of
proportion to its apparent death rate.
Many ills that have been attributed
to mental and moral faults of whole
bodies of people, are now definitely
known to be due to this infection,
and durable with its cure. It's eradica-
tion is one of the most important and
pressing problems before the people of
the southern half of the United States
and of other semi-tropical lands.
"In combating hookworm disease,
it has been found that the rural
school is the greatest medium for the
spread of the infection and the most
important protective agency against
it. In some schools investigated the
infection has been found to be 100 per
cent The teacher and every pupil a
victim of the disease.
Records of the international health
commission show an average infec..
tion among rural children of school
age for whole counties running as
high as 20 to 80 per cent, while in
some sections Of Virginia, Kentucky
North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas
and other states the disease is less
widespread, with 10 per cent or less
OF the school population infected with
hookworms. The general average for
all the children examined to date is 40
per cent of infection.
"It is through the ruIhl school, !
whence the infection comes that the
remedy must also come. The meas.
ures necessary for permanent com
troll of hookworm disease are health
supervision, health instruction, and |
perfect sanitation. The rural school
can aid in health supervision; it can
supplement and drive home health in
struction, and above all, 1t can teach
good health and clean living by being
itself model of sanitation for the
community. No matter how energet-
ic national or state campaign for
eradication may be; no matter how
many cases of hookworm disease are
cured for the time being, unless the
school and the community maintain
a constant vigilance in behalf of posi-
tive measures for good health, per.
manent control of hookworm or any
other disease transmitted by soil pol
luton will be impossible.
Hook worm disease, like typhoid
fever, is due to careless disposal of
human eXcreta Once schools and
dwellings, in country districts are pro
vided with sanitary privies of one
type or another, there will be little
danger from hookworm.
"A study of the hookworm problem
has shown not only the need for sani-
tary privies, but the need for more
adequate sanitary supervision by com
petent medical officers. There should
be in every community Il capable SUI
of health, devoting his
whole time to public health wok.
