CHARACTER
Wheu wealth is lost, nothing la;
lost — «vhen health is lost some- ]
thing is lost; but Tvheii character}
is lost all is lost.
Tho bo, who is developing his,
character is the boy who haa the |
I'ear' to conceive what is right; wha
has t^e understanding to direct |
wha» his heart dictates; who haa j
the hand to carry out jvhat 'he j
understanding wills.
Character is simply human iru
provemeut. It is common custom to
speak authentically of another's
charatcer, but no one knows ones
charac'er but ones self.
You perhaps have heard the story
of tao lawyer who, in hia final
summing up, asked the court to be
leuieut. "Consider the character
of the defendant, your honor," said
the attcrney. "He has never done
any harm before, he has always'
been kiud, thoughtful and honest.
He h.is always lived aa unstained
lite. Does not the character of
tt!«> defendant warrant leniency?"
And tic learned judge readied.
"You h..ve not told me anything of
this man's character; you are
-imply sneaking of his reputation.
There is parked distinction between
Reputation and Character.
Thaekery once said "If a man's
reputation and his character should
meet i.r» the street, they wouldn't
know each other." Refutation ie
that by which the world knows you;
character is that by which you
know yourself.
There :s no reasonable human at
tainment out oi your reach if you
will but pursue diligently your
purpose and with clearly defined
life's plan with a firm and definite
plans 'or aecomplishng that attain
ment.
U.ipi iness is a perfume you can
iiut rcur on others without getting
a few drops yourself.
The law is too inconsistent; it
requires you to "keep straight and
still make both. end» meet.
VUtue is often the shrinking
from a temptation that has no at
tractiou.
Morals, like the chameleon, take
their color from the country over
which run.
To he temperate is to know how
much f anything good for one.
WAGON ROAD ISSUE
