" Don't refuse to run the race OF lite

In your side to urge you on to more
speed and effort and thus enable you
b win out.
II YOU have a defect OF mind or
body, or character turn 1t into
virtue. There is some excuse tor peo-
ole being victims to weaknesses that
they do not know that they possess,
but there is none for them not cor
recting a fault OF which they are
conscious. =,
Yet how often you hear men and
women say that the reason they have
not succeeded, or the reason they have
no friends, or the reason their mar
riaQes have been failures, is because
they lack education, or they have high
tempers, or they are extravagant, or
they can't keep house or make liv-
ing. II is shameful confession for any
normal human being to make, because
anyone with an ounce OF grit and IN
telliper,ce can Jolly well make them
selves over il they want to, and can
camouflage bemish so successfully
that the general public will not per

conquers people or they conquer It,
