Japanese who was watching the asme
turned 70 an American there and said;
There is a bigness about you Americans
that l can't quite understand That IS
character as nearly a. / can find out.
Il would like to tell You tonight how
20 maintain a good complexion. 1 have
been told that that is a popular matter
among the ladies. / think / have the
recipe for a good complexion. There
was very dear old lady whose conf
plexion was the envy Of all her friends.
She didn't seem 10 work very hard az IL.
But she seemed 20 have one of those
wonderfully delightful compilations that
is absolutely beautiful One day one of
her young girl friends said viii you
tell me what you use for your complex
iong She saids I would be very glad
70. For my lips / use truth; Tor my
voice prayer; for my figure uprightness; 7;
for my heart love- VIII you permit a
man to say that If you will put that
in your vanity case you may use il Just
as often as you choose and / don't think
there will ever be anybody who viii pass
the slightest word of criticism. After
all, a mans size in this world is de-
pendent upon ~ character and is de-
termned BY that character. The big
gest thing a man can do is 70 have a
character.
"The other thing we are challenged 20
render Is service, The world tells us
today that money is no longer 10 be used
for power, but for usefulness; that lives
are not longer 70 be used 10 build them
selves up for selfish hands, but they are
TO be used for unselflsh service. What
does service imply that we shall be do
ing in the world Service means use
fulness. We lost man in this republic
the other day we could in afford 10 lose.
When Theodore Roosevelt went out Of
this world practically every man looked
at the newspapers and said why did he
go so soonY The striking thing about
Theodore Roosevelt's life was his demon
strated service. II he had taken the
money endowed by his father in early
life he could have become man OF
great wealth. But he didn't The big
thing that men always know about him
was the life Of strenuous service that he
spent.
NO man can hold Office today and ex-
pect to get distinction in that Office
without rendering service in that Office.
That is the way TO distinction so far as
the world knows today. That kind Of
service is the way TO real happiness.
The way to happiness is the way Of SER
vice"

said:
"Alr. Toastmaster, Honored Guests,
ladies and Gentlemen: The subject up

words to you. and. out OF my heart,

girls succeed in life. don't care If you

very rich men and women in this country
and know a great number of very poor
men and women in this country There

and thero are successful human beings

the financial standing Of a human being.
Greatness is in the soul, nowhere else.
