And even the worth while things which money can secure for a man are not denied that man who has no money. For example, even the poorest among us can have skilled medical attention if we need it, thus ensuring care of the body, while in most of our towns and cities there are public libraries, and in small communities where there are no public libraries, there is usual- ly some club or institution, it may be the church, which provides cor- responding facilities. Through our libraries we have access to the great minds of the ages and are thereby able to enrich our minds. In a word, the true wealth of life may be said to consist of love, faith, hope, sympathy, courage and hon- esty. "A good name is better than riches', and money can never buy that.

Enclose a 3 cent stamped, addressed envelope for re- ply. I know of many cases in which men, with their wives and families, are suffering needlessly, If these men whom I am thinking of had only kept their eyes open to see opportun- ity, and had had the faith and cour- age to go forth to seize opportunity when it presented itself and make full use of it, they and their fami- lies would not be in the position they are today. Granted that all classes of hard- ship and suffering through poverty do not come within this category, but it is nevertheless true that life is for us, to a great exent, just what we make it. I agree that it is one of the outstanding sins of our own age that men, especially young men, have been kept without work until they are almost unemployable, But it is a sin in which we have all had our part and to which we must all plead guilty. To come directly to the case of my correspondent, he is to be admired for having done his best. No man can do any more, I think, however, that the question which he has to first answer satisfactorily is — Is this boy a college curriculum? If so, it will enable him to make good in life? If he can answer these ques- tions in the affirmative, then he should be willing to take the chance, make the sacrifice, and let his boy have the benefit of a college career. He will probably find that any sacri- fice he makes will come back to him greatly increased—not perhaps in actual dollars and cents, but in the satisfaction of seeing his boy equip- ped to take his place in life and be- come a helper of his fellow Wren. Not the least part :of our trouble today is that we are materially mind- ed. We have a wrong view of wealth. We think of wealth in tee form of a large bank account, and while there are many things that a more successful after having conquer. ed,the somewbat headstrong tendency Fullest success will come after they have learned to finish that which they have started.
