 Building Character" He stated that a mans s character was not as he was known | to his associates--that was his reputa- | tion-but his character was what he really | was toward himself and to his God. He | said that a man may be liked by his fe- l bowman. yet if he had ever committed l any crime his conscience was never clear. He urged especially the young men of this
 
 1 themselves and not to obtain riches and fame by unfair means. He spoke of the evolution of man and stated that man was not perfect, but was the most perfect
 being on earth. and if their thinking power was removed from them they would act
 like animals. He said if men would love
 one another and have clear character there would be no wars. as everything would be settled by arbitration. He said that if in some cases war was necessary and then it was the time for the men
 to fight for their country and their flag. The "every member canvass" of the
