means to reach the goal of their de-
sres.
1t is of such ambition shakespeare
speaks:
charge thee. fling away ambition;
By that sin angels fell: How can man then
The image of his Maker. hope to win by it?
And then adds his conception of a true
and worthy ambition:
Love thysef last cherish those hearts that hate
thee. ~
Corruption wins not more than honesty
SIN In thy right hand carry gentle peace
To silence envious tongues. Be just, fear not.
Let all the ends thou aimest at be thy ,ouutrr-s
Thy Gods, and truths
Fit to Rule.
1t is not a sin to be ambitious when
the ends thou aimest at be thy coun-
try S. thy Gods and truths" The desires
can never be too eager nor the efforts
too strenuous to gain distinction in the
line of doing good, if it is for the sake
of good and not for personal glory.
AS DR.. Henry Van Dyke aptIy' express
es it: I'VE shauld desire not to be ia
nous. but to do good: not to rule. but TO
be fit for it,
The ambitious endeavors that are most
worth while are those that relate to ex-
ceiling in spiritual achievements. The
purely worldly ambitions when attained
are never satisfying. There is no earth
ly honor that can be compared with the
d X
cellence.
The very highest ambition that any one
can have is to know and do the Masters s
will. 1t is Il high ambition to be Presi-
dent of the United States, but it Is a
higher one to be governed by the principle
| in the saying: Il would rather be right
than President
The great thing to be ambitious about
Is to be right-right before God and man
The Greatness of Man.
The elements that enter into ambitious
endeavor are self-control, self-denial
hard study, gratitude for what we have
and never-ending strife to do better
and to go higher. The great ideal and
controlling motive is to make the most of
ourselves.
This cannot be done if our efforts are
directed only to matters of temporal ad-
vancement The greatness of man is In
his spiritual nature: and the highest aim
of life is in its improvement. 1t is i'm
portant to excel in the pursuits of hon
orable business. in the education of the
mind, but it is still more important to
excel in the pursuits of righteousness and
in the education of the soul.
The first ambition of every life should
be to please God. Seek We first the King
