college greeted Evangelist Hon

evening.
Last nights service was
School Night" and for the
youths of Richmond, Evangelist
Honeywell delivered sermon
teeming with advice to the
youthful seekers of success.
Emphasizing the fact that
success came only through per
slstent concentrated work and
not because of genius or a stroke
of luck, the evangelist gave the
young folks many hints as to his
, idea of the way to success.
! The pent up. youthful enthusiasm
did not cease until the visiting evan
gelist had been given many rounds Of
cheers? The boys and girls of the lit.

praising the work of the revivalist and
asserting that they would be constant
boosters during the series OF meetings
Evangelist Honeywell then began
his sermon Secret of Success" in
which he declared Some things God
gives us often. the seasons return
again and again. but youth comes
twice TO none. While we have il wa
think little of it. but We never cease
to look fondly back to il when il IS
gone.
Youth is Happy.
Poets always paint the gods young
and half our heaven is the thought OF
youth returned. Everything young IS
happy. The years Of young manhood
are the most important. eVentfui and
useful in mans earthly career. There
fore the whole future of your life
your success or failure-dependsu upon
what you do and what you are now?
Il take il for granted that there is
not one OF you but who desires to win
in this life-but what is Success?
You may win in one way and lose in
another and il the loss be the greater.

side. You can buy gold too dear II

happiness for il, you make a poor bar

give pearls for a bubble.
"One of our worst faults today is
the worshiping of Gold and thinking
that if a man has succeeded in piling
il up by any method that he has sue

Denounces Wealth.
"If you knew some of the million
aires as ! know them said David r.
Forsan. head of a great Chicago
bank you would agree with me that
they had lost their vestaee of the souls

sessed. would like to acquire mil
lions, but if the process is going to
make me like some of the old devils I
know who are milIionaires, do not
want the money" This strong Ian
euaee is not from ranting Socialist
but from a great banker who knows
thoroughly what mere money success
often does for men.
There is no success where YOU DO
not succeed inside yourself Outward
success without inward success is

cumulated millions. was a gigantic fail
ure and decent men today think of him
only with disgust and Ioathing We
must avoid sacrificing higher success
TO the lower. You cannot tell whether
YOU have won success by consulting
your ledger. \ man is wealthy or he is
poverty stricken not according to
what he has, but to what he is.
NO true man fails who has lived
/ life that has accomplished its pur-
pose. Real success consists, not in
what one gets out of life. but what one
puts into life. The world does not de
mand that you shall be a famous law
year. skilled physician, noted di-
vine, but il does demand that with
noble purpose, high endeavor and a
useful end in view you shall make
yourself a master in your line.
Character Counts.
First of all you must be pure and
ncbie and upright in life and charac-
ter. Nobility of character has ever
been the bulwark OF individual and ma

never before is seeking for men with
strength and force of character. A mis-
