that a particular course was

of endurance.
Those who knew him when he
was a boy in the backwoods of
(North Carolina knew he always
had 'courage and determination,
and they loved to tell this about
him. The boys were fond of
wrestling, and Andrew would be

When Andrew Jackson became
a man and a soldier, he was ever
the same. He wouldn’t stay
down, He became an officer and
latei’ a general, and men loved
him because he was a man of his
word, and it gave them courage
to have him as a leader.
Since reading this story I have
been thinking of many men and
women I have known who were
bears for punishment. Time and
time again fate dealt them hard
blows ■ enough to crush many
others—yet they took it all and
are sweet and gracious. To look
at the way their hopes and plans
had been thwarted one would ex
pect them to look for sympathy,
or to indulge in self-pity, but not
they. Like Andrew Jackson, they
wouldn't stay throwed.
My own boyhood was spent in
a sea-port town in the north of
England. Ships were built there
and the launchings were red-

used by different people. Men’s
standards vary greatly and what
looks like success to some, by
others would be ‘pronounced fail
ure. Some men’s failures, judged
by a higher intelligence and a
greater understanding that we
possess, would be accounted suc
cess.
Nearly nineteen centuries ago
two men were living in Rome
within a short distance of one
another—the Emperor Nero and
the Apostle Paul. For a time
Nero possessed almost unlimited
power. His command was suf
ficient to bring about the execu
tion of such men as Seneca,
Lucan and Petronius. With what
supreme contempt he must have
regarded such a one as Paul!
But the obscure and despised
apostle has proven the mightier
of the two. Nero is but a name—
held in dishonour—but that little
man chained to a Roman soldier
bore a name which is held in
grateful and lasting remem
brance.
After all, ‘there can only be
one failure in life and that is for
a man not to be true to the best
he knows—the best of which he
is capable. When that has been
done there can be no failure.
That was what some one has
called “The success of the un
successful.”. When all accounts
have been settled it will be seen
that some men’s failures are im
measurably better
men’s successes.

men who do their best never

that. There may be plans un

not in the launching. Some would

perhaps be lost at sea.
Sometimes people are like
that. Only a percentage live to
see their earliest hopes realized.
With some, early ideals have
faded and they are conscious
that they have lost something of
