a man •in London. who was uot very sncces.sfnl at nny of these 1 ines of work. If you ask one of these kind of

' . people t'o state thet r aim in lifa _they nre'1ikely tp say: • uJ am not sure what I am adapted for, but I am a thorough believer in genuine hard work and I am determined to dig early and late all my life · and I know I shtdl come across something-either . gold, silver or at least iron ." The. chances are this man will 'uev~r strike ore by star~ing in to dig up the whole conti· llJUt. {

·rbe el~ments of nccess, or t.he nec­essary charactertstics of an individual who does things, look and interlock; it is difficult ·to ~p:l>ate them-to t ell where one ends and another begins. Yet, some of these elemeuts have a character of their own ." The pvwer to arrive at. a decision, or, as it )s some

· times termed decision of character, is · one of these.

· A young Englishman iqherited a vast e~tate just when his wild nature was yie~diug to dissipation The great legacy su~tvived only to hasten hia \

, . ·progress to rnit~ Witbin a few yenrs . the last dollar of his ··.patrimony was spent and poverty aQd .. '\.degradation stared him in tlte face."'

One day in his deep d~spair, he. rush­ed out of the bouse resolved to · take his .own life in the field yonder. Reach­ing p.n eminence that overlooked the

• J(

estate \vhich had pnssed ont of his hands, he stopped. and finally sat down to reflect.

Then and there, with mighty diffi· culties and apparent impossibilities be· fore him, he resolved to regain the es-

\

tate which his immornlitv had \\:nsted . . . At oi1ce he decid~d ,t.o cnrry out has de-cision by performing ~he first wc,1·k th#at offered. A. load of conl wns

· dumped at n fin'P. residence; he sought, and obtailled, the jnb. of carrying it. into th~ ·cellar. Step hy · !!tep, onwnrd nnd upward, he advnnced, until h~ be­cnme n prosperons nnd . wenlthy mer­chant. and purchased the estate which his lolly ·once sqnnndf.'red.

Itlnstr~tio.ns showing 'th~ j>ow~r of

.firm decisions nre many. Our Ameri· cnn Sheridnn, the grent geueral, turn· ed defeut into victory by bi_s remnrk­ahle decigion.

'Cnlhonn said to his room·mnte nt. Yale.:-· "1 am fitting ~l~)'BAlf for Con­gress.,; His room-mnte laughed. •'iJo you doubt it?" exclnmed Cnlh'onu. ''If I we're nut convil1cP.d that I shonld ht3 fn congress in six years. I would lenvP. college today". He wrls there within six years after he g'radunted.

Decision answers the questions : Cnn you do it? \\'ill you do· it? and answer them in the nffirmatwe. , 'Ve know . . better .than we do; decision bel ps us to do even bet~r t.hnu we know. .

A strong det'ision is . of J ittle value nn lasa followed np by prompt action. Put the two together and who can withstand them. "On the great clnck of time there is but oue \V~rd-NOW."

If we are to. muke a success in this ' life it takes a large supply of the mn··

"The same as yours," the mau did not un· derstand nud nsked biD} again. H is replj wns the sa~e. The Loy seeing thai the mnu did not understand him y6t, snid: "My motto is 'push' the same ns yon have on your door."

The world will always hold n. place in reserve for the man who has t•he power of decision. who is a~cnra te, punctunl and definite.

ter. The highest ideal of freed•llll cn.n never be conceived by ll tnllll who has . • )een m11de conscious of subjectio1i to another ~nt\. - He must bnrst the fet­ters of subord i nat.tiun, befnre th~· true glory of liberty will sh.ine f<.,r him . . The history of. frijed~!~ shows tho.t ~e have passed frotl1 a system of duties dictated by the community, to 11

system of self-~mpos~ obligations. Duty, in the early st11ges of soc~ety, was enforced by lynch la\v. · Tudny it is effected hy individnnl conscience. In the eo.rly pericids of dqvelopmeut, most uf the libert.y whicl~ ex.isted in society wns bused upuu tr e8pm1sibi I i· ty . With the nssumption uf respuusi.· bility, w~ see th~ disapt>enrnnc~ of bnr­burism and so.vugery . It was t-he Ro· man lnwyers who daveloped the thijory of contracts. The obliglltiona which a man as"umes in ·o. cuntrnut are vnlun­tary until he has mtt.de the ugreement. After he ho.s mude. the agreement the pnblic will compel him to po.y do.m.1 ages for the breach of his promise. A contrnct in it.a very . mnke up is a com­bination of freedom nnd reepousibility.

Perhaps the gravest problem con­frontiug our nation today is the con· teat between the reckless license of corporate management on the oue han~., aud the socialistic effort& for control on the other. Juatioo can only be eetablished by making the corpora­tion assume the aa~e ·'kind of . mo'ral duties and reapoue.i'hifiilea tha"t are ttow aaaumed by ~h·a p'rivate individual. In this way they can be controlled by legislative interference. Liberty is directly advantageous where it will be used in ways which will benefit the

public. 'It ia a diendvo..utage wh n used in prnmotittg individual pleasure at pub I ic expense. ·The Puritan priuoi­plea of onr nation have· ·ad,.vauced iu ~heir deveJopment to the perim~ where they can -~rovi4_e a lawful reme<ly f<?r every eme~~ncy thnt' may arise.

With t.h~ stringfint enforcement of , responsibility, ' we htwe au equnlJ~· strong heal thy growth of oivilizntiou. Ohief Justice ·Russell of England hns said, "9ivili~ntio.n is not a veneer; it must penet,rate to the ·very heart and core of ·the sooietie9 of men. Ita true

' sigps ure thought for the potlr and suf-fering, thij frunk reco gtiition of humun brot.herhood, Ir respective of raco, or color,, or nation, or religion. The narrowing of the domllin of ~ere force as a goveruing factor in the w-orla, the love of ordered freedom, abhorrenc\) of nil that is mean· und cruel and vile, and ceaseless devotion to the claims of j uatice."

Lo.w never leo.ds civilizntioo, but al­ways follows iu ~te · wak~; ita purp4ae and ita objact is to regulate and oontro ~ the relatione of men with each other, and their relations to tha State ; but thaae relatione mnat first come, they most flrat be established, before there ia anything for the law to regulate . . Progress goes on ; new inventions .are tnade; new relatbns between men ~cor; and it is the office and the !lnr­poee of law to march behind them~ to regulate and order and systematize ttiem, and produce if need be justice out of iuj'oetice.

During last rear and the present year the Bible Department ut McPherson " College has been supporte<.l by donations. The development of this department ha~

been 80 ehcouraging.and it >bas SUCh manifeRt chances for good fruita~e, that llU

one who has come in contact with its workings could think for a moment of having it discontinued. An encouraging start lias already been made toward procuring an endowment for its perpetual support. While this endowment fund is being created funds are need~d for immediate use-or rather for use after the close of the curreut year. So the friends of this cause are appealed to to keep the work already in pro· gress going during a five year period. lt is hoped that at the end of this period. the department may be largely or whot(y supported by . endowment.
