back when he struck the first mud
hole
The rich Jewels of manhood and
womanhood are for the man or woman
who is determined to kill all the lions,
swim all the streams, tunnel all the
mountains, climb all the hills, uproot
all the trees that impede your prog
ress and keep you from the goal for a
touchdown, who says, This one thing
I do" and stands pat.
Never Waivers,
But Goes On
He goes straight on like Columbus
when he set out to discover a new
world. David wanted Solomon to
reach the mountain top, not to be con-
tent with a summer bungalow in the
valley He didn't want him to be an
old woman and a sort of sissified
proposition. he wanted him to be a
man with knotted muscles and with a
great, big heart and plenty of gray
matter in his brain. He wanted him to
aim high then his. endeavors would
not be low.
BE a mani" Don't simply be a
frame to hang suit of clothes on as
is the case with a 10; of walking ma
chimes that pass for men and ought to
be arrested for going around dis

The man who lives part of his life

make amends for his evil deeds by

posterity as an example worthy OF
emulation, should be taught that no
single act of munificence can blot out
the record of an ignoble life. No
body can live the life of a financial
pirate or of a moral blackleg without
paying the price. The princely man
hood of David's can't be bought with
money-it is the grandest thing that
ever made its way into this old world
Your manhood depends upon the
size Of your soul and not that of your
body. There are men who are small
in stature, but they are noble in man
hood, men like Paul, men like Julius
Caesar, a little sawed-off, red-faced
freckle-faced fellow, couldn't see him
for the dust.
Men like Napoleon, only five fee
