The idea of character as the sum Of
the tastes and fixed choices, indicates
the way in which we are to strive for
position among our fellowmen. We
are to strive for position by means of
fitness for it. The world is fun of men
who are aiming at high places instead
Of good preparation. We need to aim
first at our best selves. The ambition
of too many young people terminates
on some coveted position, when it
ought to terminate on preparation and
fitness. The man, who by diligence and
faithfulness makes the very most of
himself, and makes himself fully equal
to station of honor and usefulness
among his fellows, is the man who win
get the place and adorn it. Let no
young man fear for his place in life if
he is thoroughly competent to fiji it.
There are scores of positions every
where, into which crowds Of applicants
are trying to press, which still wait for
the men that can fill them. The only
certain royal road to success is through
character and manliness.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN,
KIND WORDS.

They never blister the tongue nor
lips and we never have heard of any
mental trouble arising from this quar-
ter. Though they do not cost much,
they help ones good nature and good
will Soft words soften our own soul.
Angry words are fuel to the danes of
wrath, and make it burn more fiercely.
Kind words make other people good
natured. Cold words freeze people,
and hot words scorch them, and bitter
words make them bitter, and wrathtul
words make them wrathful. There is
such a rush of all other kinds of words
in our days, that it seems desirable to
give kind words chance among them.
There are vain words, and idle words,
and hasty words, and spiteful words,
and silly words, and empty words and
boisterous words and warlike words
Kind words also produce their own i'm
age in mems souls. And beautiful
image it is. They soothe and quiet and
comfort the nearer. They shame him
out OF his sour, morose, unkind feelings.
We have not yet begun to use kind
words in such abundance as they ought
to be used.

THE BUSINESS OF LIFE.

The task appointed unto us is admir-
ably stated in recent issue of Col
lier's. Nothing finer as to the stern
business set before us has recently APP
peared in print:
"To hold the vision of of final ar.
rival at some fitting destination; to
maintain undiminished sense of per-
sonal worthiness; to be defeated in each
foolish dream of the younger life, and
so to be disciplined into larger vision,
made more sure by adversely; to be de-
layed for most of lifetime, and yet To
believe in the strength of human spirit
to surmount pain, outive sin and de-
feat malice and envy; to believe in the
gradual but all-conquering power of
good will; to be saddened but not EN-
bittered to be beaten but not conquer

Love is the flower of the soul. 1t is
the holiest and sweetest of the heart
forces which prompt our actions. 1t
is more precious to most men and wo-
men than the wealth of the world, be-
cause priceless; 1t is one of the joys of
Heaven. Though without price love is
a gift, anC can bear no relation to self
ishness. Love is the sweetest, purest,
and yet the strongest Of all human in
iluences. 1t will endure suffering,
withstand trials and overcome tempta-
tions. Love lifts us out of our sordid
selves, and then, only then, we realize
that the outgoing of love and helpful
ness is but the incoming of "a peace
which passeth understanding" a JOY
which fills the fountain of the heart.
