and others were considered the pat

IL not a full man-but a frag-
ment indeed. Byron and Burns and
Shelley were intellectual stars of rare
as ideal men. A keen intellect and cul-
tivated mind may be a wonderful
source of power and a most enviable
possession. but It Is by no means all
Of the man. and does not take within
its scope the condition of true man
illness.
Heart and Conscience Factors.
The true man, as some one has ex-
pressed 1t, Is the physical and the in
tellectual. plus heart power and con-
science power, and here we begin to
strike the level Of Paul in his exhorta-
ton to the Corinthians. Paul was not
concerned, in this connection, with
either the arena of the forum. though
real contests were on. He was more
interested in their moral and religious
stamina in the midst of many and
varied temptations that brought on
conflicts in their spiritual natures So
his exhortation to them. with its
marked application in the present,
quit you like men,
There are many characteristics TO
premacy of heart and conscience. We
can only mention a few tonight
First. the manly man Is the self
mastered man. He sits self-governed
in the fiery prime of youth obedient
at the feet of law. This ecalls for
self-sacrifice. Any fool may become
drunkard of a debauchee. but 1t
takes real specimen. the pure metal,
out of which to make man. We
cess of God. that we may be able to
resist the temptations of life and the
impulses of our lower nature. 1t is
no uncommon thing to hnd persons.
and especially young persons. who
thing that an independent disregard
of authority Is manly. This feeling
shows itself, perhaps first Of all. In
opposition to parental authority. The
boy frets under the restraint of the
homo: the same attitude Is shown in
the school room. and later. he disre-
CARDS the restraints of society. and
his end Is ruin. Beginning his un-
manly course OF disobedienoe In the
home. the young man frequently grad
yates in the penitentiary, Show your
self man. then. by living in harmony
with the Word Of God. your conscience.
as we'll as giving respect to your en-
vironment.
Next. uprightness of life Is to be
sought. Man was made physically
erect that he might look heavenward
with ease and pleasure. And mans
moral conduct Is to resemble his ply
steal frame. 1t Is to be upright. It
must not have any twists In II or
angles of any kind. Tho manly per-
son doeth right. and especially Is this
the mark OF the Christian. Anything
like unprincipled policy or time serv-
ing Is utterly out of place in q disciple
OF Christ.
Diogenes' Search.
Genuine manlness Is full of true
valor Show that you have some iron
in you. and are not all OF straw! There
are many spurious forms Of courage.
and that which Ia often most admired
is the lowest and poorest. like that OF
the brutes. The manliness courage Is
that which rises superior to the fear
OF man. With strong convictions on
