three other Of the essential character

and one of the basic ones was said to
be character. "a man with an un-
furnished name is RICH declared the
speaker. fTo go among one s fellows
with name that has never been stain
ed is surely a great fortune. Every
such man is man of wealth. Charac-
ter, upon which is based the respect Of
your associates, will largely determine
your success.
Pleads for Hu1nor
The speaker was staunch advocate
of the principle that humor was neces-
sary to success and happiness. He de-
clared that it was the shock absorb
err" which enabled him who possessed
it to make friends and keep them.
"When there seems to be no bright
side, " he declared, "polish up the dark
one. Never be pessimista person
who would blow out all the lights and
be the first to grumble about the dark. =
Initiative was also named as one Of
the essentials to success. The speaker
recalled that every man was the ar
chitect Of his own fortune and upon
his own endeavors would his success
be determined. The eighth notch in
the key was declared to be friendship,
which the speaker said often proved
the "open sesame where all Others
had failed, Friendships which are
rooted deep and would stand the test
of misfortune were extolled as the only
ones which were really worth while
The hearers were warned that the
Jolly good fellow was entertaining
but that friends in fair and stormy
weather. were the ones who really
counted. In this connection the speak
er pointed out that the only way to
have friends was to be one yourself.
Take and Use the Key.
The last part of the master-key was
perseverance, upon which all the Others
depended. 81 have laid before yor
what consider the master-key to sue
cess and happiness, declared the Rev
Mr.. Dorward in closing. A key is Of
no account to one who does not use it
