LOVE D YING, Horace Greeley said: an accident, riches take wings; those who cheer today wil curse tomorrow, only oni thing endures and that is character.' Life's one great task is the makinj of character, the making of fine man hood. Our world is a college. We al go through it, but only some get muel out of the course of instruction. Iz this college events are the teachers and character is the diploma whict God gives man when he has earne it. There are many forces that hell to increase happiness in this world such as friends and position, ani money; but one thing is absoluteli indispensable to success, s d that ii character. Success, in these days, is a word t( conjure with. It is echoed on all side! as the one object of existence, an( men are measured by its standards We fall over each other in our hurr3 to pay homage to th Mar, Who ha, won success in the world's judgment But are we not under a delusion as t< what we really admire? Hero Worship Tells Much. If I knew what you admire and wh is your hero, I would know what sor of a man you are. This mountain o flesh and bone which has bee% tral. as an oi for the prise ring? V al . the vapid and vacant countenances nothing can eqdtil it fiiernfty. P3 perhaps you admire this man who hai created an extensive business an( amassed a fortune, or attained higl social position. But does it not mak( a difference how these things weri attained? Or perhaps your hero mai be a man who has reached high po litical rank, the presidency of the United States. But does it not mak4 a difference whether he was squeeze in by party politics, or whether he hai risen by his own intrinsic worth, anc is the choice of the people? Success lies not so much in achlev ing what you aim at, as In aiming al what you ought to achieve. Your ot dread should be to pitch the scale o; life so low that you can attain perfec1 *success therein. There is a success which is failure What effect has quecess had upon thit or that man? Has It made him a bet ter man, nobler and kinder; or has 11 made him hard and unfeeling and ar rogant? If so, then his'. success hat been a failure. I could not congratu late you-if you had succeeded in mak -lug a fire by burning up a pricelest painting, neither can I admire a mar who has destroyed his character and soul in making a fortune or attaini a position. That man has made 5 most terrible failure of his life. Suc cess in business, literature, society politics, is often purchased by a sub tle and sinister compromise with Satan. He takes us up on a high mountain, and shows us all the glitter of the world, and says: "All these will I give thee if thou wilt fail down and worship me."M Failure Sometimes MisJudged. There is failure which is success. May we learn this lesson of - human life, and It is one of Its important les sons, that lives which aim at low ends are often redeemed by failure to at tain them. Many men owe their soul's salvation to their failures. Mischance has shattered their plans, and they have been saved from careers which Iwould have led to their ruin. Many a man whom the world counts a failure has attained good success. He may not have much evidence of it in the bank, but he bears about with him the marks of success, in his body in clean Iliving, in a cultured mind, and in an upright soul. One of the most successful lives ever lived was that of St. Paul, and yet at the end of his life what did he have to show for it? Lying in a dun geon in Rome it does not take him long to count up his assets. He says, "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." He had lived a wonder ful life, and that was all he had to show. I hope you are making a success of -your life. I do not want to know what your bank account is, nor what position you hold. But I want to know what marks are being stamped upon your body and soul. Are they the marks of indulgence, of uncontrolled temper, of some besetting sin, of envy and avarice, and an evil mind? Or is your life growing sweeter and strong er as you grow older? Are you grow ing in truth and uprightness and in lov'e? If so. then you are attaining that success which leaves no regrets, which is clean in the sight of God and man, and which God promises to those who love him. Man would fain find some personal friend who would lead him unto great personal worth. To fulfill that deep est need, Jesus Christ comes to us and says: "Learn of Me." He comes to hasten man's step along the pathway that leads from littleness to greatness. and greatness lies not in titles, but in the qualities of mind and soul raised to the highest prower.

EVINCE TOO MUCH INTEREST Steel Trust Philanthropy at Its Best is Exemplified In Recent Transactions. Defenders of the steel trust have placed much emphasis on the asser tiop that it never has used its vast power to the disadvantage of inde pendent manufacturers, who, they declare, have been permitted to grow and prosper. According to these apologists, the Steel corporation is a model of dis. interested philanthropy. So far from seeking to monopolize the steel trade of the country, it continually is devising some means of assisting its smaller competitors to make their business profitable. Some recent statistics supply cer tain details of this philnthropic pol icy which may prove Interesting. For instance, there is in the Du luth, Missabe & Northern railroad which runs from Duluth to the iron ranges of northern Minnesota. It connection with another road, which is under the same ownprship, thin line carries one-half of all the Iron ore used in the United States. Some conception of the rates tha1 are charged for this service may b4 formed when It is stated that thin road paid dividends of 150 per cen1 the first year after its control pass ed to the steel trust, as compared with 6 per cent the year preceding It paid 145 per cent in 1909. This concern, consequently, is no1 greatly interested in the matter of rates. It merely takes the money from one pocket to put it in another But how about the independents1 The rate that makes such enormous profits possible is a tax on their bus Iness which operates in favor of the steel trust, exactly as the tariff operates to protect the woolen mills of New England. A little more such paternal inter est would, wipe the Independents off the man. You Won't Get "Stuck" if Eyc u -stk~to .iui.

The government Clod a dissolution suit in the federal court at St. Paul, Minn., April 20, against the Interna tional Harvester company, - alleging violatlon of the Sherman law and mak ing the general charges that are cus temary in a bill of this kind, and ask ing for whatever reliefs are consid ered necessary by the court The bill is a very long one and therefore can not be reproduced, but It sets forth, in effect, that the Harvester company is a monopoly in restraint of trade, has used oppressive methods in forc ing Its agents to handle its goods ex clusively, etc. To these charges Pres ident McCormick has made the fol lowing reply: "The International Harvester case differs radically in its facts from all the so-called 'trust' cases heretofore decided under the Sherman law. The International Harvester company was organized In 1902 for the purpose of securing economy in the manufacture and sale of harvesting machinery, and of Increasing the foreign trade. It had no water in its capitalization, and it has earned only a reasonable return on its capital,-less than 7 per cent per annum on the average. The prices of Its machines are now substantially the same as in 1902, notwithstanding an increase of 15 per cent in raw. ma terial prices and 30 per cent in wages. The company has caused a large sav ing to American farmers In the cost of agricultural implements. It has in. creased the foreign trade In agricul tural Implements four-fold in nine years; Its foreign sales in 1911 were over $42,000,000. It has not sold cheap er abroad than at home. Its treatment of its customers, Its employes, its agents and its competitors has been in accord with the highest standard of ethics and honorable business meth ods. To the farmers It has given bet ter service and better machine,; to agents and dealers, a lees hazardous and fluctuating business and to Its em ployes It has given higher wages, im proved and sanitary working condi tiena, insur::nce against sickness, ao cident and cid arge, and a share in the proito. "The chrrces cf milsccnduct found in theo hli have bcen met and dis proved by ti:o ccmr'rny in other- cases; an;d they vill 'in fail, because they are untrue. The supreme court of 2.as souri. in a suit in which those charg:es "cvre fiiy ;:cne into, said: "'n the whob, the evide'nce shows that the ln:crna:ional Harvester- com pany has tot used is power to oppress or injuro the farmcas who are its cus tomiers." "And again: "'The price of harvesting machines has not Increased in proportion to the increased cost of construction cr the increased merit of the machines, and respondent has brought other farm im plements into trade," "-'The evidence also shows that the machines manufactured Dy the Inter national Harvester company have been greatly improved in quality and the item of repair material has been re duced in price and placed within closer reach of the farmer.' "The organizers of this sompany acted under the advice of able counsel, and in the sincere belief that they were violating no law. If under later decisions it should be held that the law was violated, it could only be through the creation of a power to op. press which has never been exercised. "More than six years ago the comn pany asked for Its investigation by the United States government, and opened all Its books and records for inspec tion, and furnished all information re quested. No suggestion of any change In its business methods has been readsi to it by the government at any time. Recently, a full and frank discussion of the whole situation has been had between the representative, of the. gov ernment and the company, in a bon est desire upon both sides to avoid litigation. Same plan may yet be found which will obvtate the necessity of any pre#-acted iitigation by satis fying the claims made under the Sher man act wi:hout seriously impairing the economic adman ages and benenite secured by the organization of this company. No form of reo--ganization, however, was suggested by the gvern ment which seemed practically pos sib'e. "The government h'q been careftul to avoid embarrassnme-:! to; the floreign business from the lIii.' ; : the bill makes~ no attack upen. a.id seeks no change in, the export useress of the company. The filing ci the bill will in rno way interfere with the company's carrying on Its busir.css the same as hleretofore." 4ditation. State of South Carolin%. C )unty of Pickens IBy J. IB. Newberv.
