NE IS NOT. ALWAYS MODEST

, overestimatss Himself, Asserts
Minister.

Rev Harry Emerson Fosdick voiced
the pentup conviction OF many
thoughtful men when he said to bis
Yale audience that the self-made man
IN not the greatest creation In the
world. There are many truly self-made
men whom We honor. and who carry
their honors with becoming modesty.
Such men recognize the fact that
though they get the credit for their
own success, they owe 1t mucn 10
their conceit that everybody wishes
they had wholly let out the contract
to somebody else. These are usually
the ones who in fact owe most ana
credit least to others for their sue
cess.
In the analysis We find that Mr.. Fos-
dicks conclusion II correct. There II
no such thing az q self-made, man.
There are some men who owe success
much to circumstances and very little
to their own 'endeavor. There are on
the other hand men who have won
their place by adding self-sacrifce ana
hard work to circumstances less IA
yorable than those on which the otn-
ers rose. In men Of both sorts mod
esty is becoming.
1T is not infrequent that the small
man achieves what IL commonly &C
cepted as success. He is the one VINO
pirates about his self-making. who ID
particularly obnoxious and deserves
this rebuke. There are not 80 many
of him, but the few 60 long way 70
make q noise like multitude. he
Is cocksure that, since he deems No

achieve, his opinion on matters ana
things IL the final authority.
BY sheer force Of that psrdnacity
and will force by which he has arrived
Az he thinks-he will often lace
down In argumen. the man who has
a better reason. He assumes 70 %
q correct type of self-made man. ne
may, indeed, do much good. and STAND
as an example Of what effectively ap'
piled will power can do. but he needs
TO be reckoned for what he In worth
And what he is really worth 10 muen

articles, TO be shipped over the new

not have the machinery TO make them
we would not have sufficient raw material

would put every factory on double time,
and every man on extra pay. But how
much better would it be il we placed
such an order for ourselves, have the
work, get the wages, and keep the goods
TO enjoy in our own homes
LET us abolish the liquor traffic, and
such an order can be placed every year
with the merchants of the United States.
Six cents out of every dollar spent in
the saloon goes TO the man that makes
what is sold over the bar. Twenty
eight cents of the dollar goes to the
producer OF the raw materials.
