Every' other asset may be swept time

wealth of character.
• Character Is that of which reputation
Is but the echo, often mistaken and mis-
leading. Character is the last, the ulti-

• 'passion and power that holds one true
despite all persuasion.
It Is the one thing worth having, be-
cause -upon it all other values depend.
The wealth of the whole world still
leaves' poor him from whom the soul,
,the power to appreciate, the purity of
heart which sees God and the good, the
peace and quietness of a good con-

The wise ever have set this treasure
above all others. Happy the people that
love righteousness more than revenue,

'above all other prosperity or advantage.
The days of national igreatness ever have
been those when the (lungs that make
manhood bullied far abovo all other
considerations. Alike to people and in-
dividuals, the imperishable value ever
has been that of character.
This asset comes not to a man by
accident. I -le who Is rich in character,
.whose success in many ways is built
upon his resources in this way, does not
just simply happen to be good, true,
and square. There is a price to charac-
ter;

for � it is worth more Ihah all other
things. Essentially it never is inherited,
but always acquired by processes open
slow and toilsome and al great price.
If you would be perfect you must pay
the price of perfection. Unless the pee -
skin of life is this perfection it newer

Folks who are sighing for goodness
usually go away sorrowful when they
learn what it costs. 13ut life ever is
putting to us just such tests as the wise
teacher put la the rich young man. You
say you desire charuclee, the perfection

ABOVE ALL OTIIER THINGS;
do you desire this enough to pay for it
your ease, your coveted fugue, your
cherished gold, perhaps your present
good name and peace of mind? Is the
search for character a pass:r'n or only
a pastime?
This does not mean that this prize of
eternity falls only to those who devote
themselves wholly to self -culture, to the
salvation of their own souls. The best
lives have thought little of themselves,
but they have lived for the ends of the
soul, to help (nen to better living, to
save them from the things that blight
and demo the soul. Like the Leader of
men they have found the life unending

The world's wealth depends not on
