100 PER CENT
MAN MUST BE
HUMAN SAYS BABB
The 100 per cent man Is the man
who will be human, who will he In
dependent, who does not take that
he cannot give, and who lives up to
the common every day truths which
build character and develop civilizft
tlon. declared Dr. J. Franklin Babb
in his lectnre on “The 100 Per Cent
Man," at the third Chautauqua pro
I gram last night at Rlks Hall. Dr.,
Babb dwelt almost entirely on the!
! traits of understanding, broad mind-1
edness and humor, necessary for life!
of an Individual to be human.
By illustration he took the little!
everyday acts of life and showed them!
in all their essentiality to the build
ing of character and to happiness and 1
a full life. There is no perfect man, I
said Dr. Babb, one who thinks he is;
perfect is a fool or a hypocrite; but1
a man can be 100 per rent. He dr j
plored the righteous being w.lio'
Judges the morals of woman by her:
■dress, and gave a clear illustration j
of the mental and physical develop
I ment of woman Iti the last few years
which he said is aided by her style
1 of iress.
"The girl of today Is good because
she is not ignorant, thank God, but]
she is good because she chosses to'
ho,” he declared.
The young boy snould be given his
chance with a square deal and the
understanding of his parents, and
turned on the right path toward a
life of mental and physical cleanli
ness.”
"Husband and wife forget the little
things which make for happiness in
their routine of living," said IDr.
Babb, but a little application of
thoughtfulness and kindness can go
a long way in making for harmony
and happiness in the home.
And through life as it goes Dr.
Babb pointed out the need for sin
cerity and love which leads to the
path of mental and spiritual devel
opment and which he says can be
followed by every man.
