Some men laugh in their sleeve. when mention is made of the souL They think that when you sneak of the foul you are surely joking, or, at best, only "preaching." Of course, this is mere ignorance, and to be - deplored, but' really it is no more deplorable than to act upon the other extreme and think that a development of the soul alone spells success. ' . - The whole man comprises body, mind and son, and it requires the develop-, meet of all three to spell success. A well-known editor recently wrote to a contributor-who had written of the subject of success that the. matter was one that could not, or would not. interest in-terest his readers, as they did not ''expect ''ex-pect success." Well, now, I believe that editor to have been mistaken, don't youf . I believe that every man, of whatever sphere in life, or of whatever what-ever social grade, high or low, is deeply interested in the problem of success and how to solve it. Don't youf Now, just a little thought reveals to us that successthe suc-cessthe house we want to live in is supported upon a number of pillars, having hav-ing for a great central pillar one called character. And we see that we must attend to this and learn, how to develop de-velop the right kind of charatcer upon which success our house may safely depend. Then we must inspect the foundations, foun-dations, and when we do, we see that we are building for ability, reliability and the power to act. So it is quite clear that character means all that ability, abil-ity, reliability and action stand for, namely, the development of the intellect intel-lect 4he soul, and the wilL ' The side with which we chink, the side with which we feel, and the side with which we act. Of course, all men .want to think right, feel right and act right, and it is these three divisions, cultivated culti-vated and developed, that produce character, char-acter, and at -the same time guarantee success.' ' EVOLUTION VEBSTJS EEVOLTJTION By the Bev. Charles Stelzle. It was a curious process of construction,' construc-tion,' but a very effective one. The newspaper that occupied the building had outgrown its dimensions, but it seemed impossible to move to larger quarters while waiting for - the new building which waa to oe erected upon the old site. It was, therefore, decided to continue doing business at the old stand, and, with an occasional shift of the departments from floor to floor, the new building was finally completed, from foundation to dome, without a single sin-gle interruption in the getting out of one of the most important journals in , this country. It was an evolutionary process. The mansgers might hava gone out of business busi-ness until their new building was completed, com-pleted, but that did not seem the wise nor the sensible thing to do. But that is what some social reformers would have us do. They would demolish old things before they would begin the construction con-struction of ; the new. They imagine that our social system ean be changed in the twinkling of an eye. They believe be-lieve that the enactment of .a new law win usher in' the millennium. Ideal social systems do not come that I way. They are born. They grow. They I change. They are a development- And we must continue to do business at the old stand while this is going on. FOBETOIf.
