THE KEY TO
SUCCESS
BY Beatrice Fairfax
Who Occupies a Unique Position
In the Writing World as an
Authority on the Prob
Iefns of Life.

THB keynote to success is
probably so simple a thing
as finding yourself. Most OF
us think II we were only given
our chance" we'd be sure TO
make good. We fancy that II we
had some powerful influence
working for us-some important
parsonage as a friend--we'd at
once succeed.
THIS reminds me Of the legend
OF the mountain OF Ali Baba. The
magic word which caused the
cave door OF the forty thieves"
Sesame" Now sesame Is grain,
and when one who wanted 70 go
into the cave forgot the password
he cried open Wheati Open
Ryel Open Barleyr' But the door
did not respond to any but the
right word.
The trouble with those Of us
who wait for some one else TO
open the door TO success is that
we do not take the trouble to
learn the way TO make II open for
US. The greater difficulty Is that
no true success can come unless
Il be through opening the door
OF our own personalities. No one
can make much OF life unless he
makes the most of himself and
uses his own powers to accom-
plish his own fulfillment and COM
pletion.
In the last analysis we have
always to do things for ourselves.
No love, however great and SYM
pathetic and understanding, can
see us through crisis and diff
Guilty. Our problems are ours
and we must solve them.
Sometimes we think we have
more 10 bear than we can endure.
But there In a great and wonder
ful truth In the words, Whom
God loveth, He chasteneth." II
isn't the spoiled, pampered child
who Is equipped TO meet life. II
Is the chastened individual who
has learned how 10 live through
troubles bravely borne and prob
lems wisely met, who has n
shining arnor against anything
that may befaIl.
Within ourselves we win find
all the potentialities and powers
needed for development. When
we open our natures 60 the sun
OF fine living and use our powers
we have found the magic way to
success and growth and the deem
satisfaction Of fine. constructive
living.

'I don't know what we'd do

the doctor to his niece. you're so

Anne smiled and went on with

Martin Lloyd, a husky young man
lately graduated from an Eastern
college and now an expert forester
at a nearby lumber camp.
Martins approach could always
be foretold in the Strickland
household by Anne's sedulous at
tention to her hair; she did not
hesitate TO say she liked the
young man.
The doctor looked forward to
losing her with dread; Alix, whom
he called his boy. was no house
keeper, lovable and attractive as
she was. and her sister he re-
garded as a little girl.
But Cherry was more than a
mere girl to every one but her
father. To Peter Joyce, neighbor

creature in the world; to the negro

years in blissful content.
