Failure Not a Disgrace.

What an unfortunate thing that the
idea should be dinned into the ear of
youth everywhere, that it is a disgrace
to fail that is, to fail to make money,
to accumulate property.
Il is not a disgrace TO fail; but it is a
disgrace not to do ones level to succeed.
mot failure, but low aim is crime"
Multitudes of poor people today, who
are not known outside of their own little
communities are really great successes
when measured by all that makes true
greatness-thelr heroic ~endeavOurs, their
brave battles for years with obstacles,
playing a losing game with heroism.
Their great patience and self control IN
der the criticism of those who do not un-
derstand them are evidences that they
have succeeded. The possession OF q no.
BILE character is the greatest evidence in
the world that one has succeeded.
On the other hand, if a man has got
ten a fortune, but has left his manhood
on the way to it; if he has bartered his
good name in the process Of getting it,
he is still a failure-nU matter how much
money he may have accumulated.
A clean record is the greatest kind of a
success. And how few men who make
big fortunes manage to save their good
name, to keep their record clean!
The mere possession of money may be no
evidence whatever that a man has succeed
ed. If he cannot control himself; if his
aims are low and vulgar, if ne is greedy
graspin9 and selfish; if he takes advan-
tage of others; if he robs others of op-
-portunity: If he has used them as step
ping stones upon which to climb to his
fortune, ne is failure measured by all
that continues a real man real val
ue that are worth while. -EG.
