A LIFTER, OR A LEANER? Do you develop your strength, increase your reasoning power, your will power, your power of initiative? Do you not only elevate yourself and hold yourself up, but also have strength to help others? Are you a lifter? Or do you, like the senseless lobster, remain high and dry on the sand or among the rocks, waiting for someone to carry you to the sea, or for the sea to come to you, when by your own native energy you should boldly plunge in and ride the waves triumphantly? Do you, in considering every undertaking, look hesitating- ly to the right or left for some advice, some support, some prop to lean on? It has been said that for every self-made man there are ten self-ruined ones. leaners It is a safe guess that nine of the ten are The ranks of mediocrity—of the half-successful—are crowd- | ed with people of fine natural abilities, who never rise above | inferior stations because they never act independently. They! are afraid to take the initiative in anything—to depend upon their own judgment and resources—and so let opportunity after opportunity pass them by. They make fine plans, but leave} them to be carried out by others; and then their oniy consola- tion is in saying: “I thought of it first.” Half a hundred claim to have been the first to invent ri, railway air-brake. Only one had the nerve to demonstrate its practicability. Thousands talked about an Atlantic cable, until one came forward and laid it. He lost a big fortune by failing at first, bat made a bigger one by succeeding at last In every walk of life are earnest, conscientious people who are disappointed that they do not get on better and who wax eloquent over the injustice that confines them to inferior grades, while others with no more natural ability are constantly ad- vanced over their heads. Analyze these people and you find their real trouble lies in their lack of independent action. They dare not make the slightest move without help or advice from some outside source. They lack confidence in themselves. They do not trust their own powers. They have never learned to stand squarely on their own feet, think their own thoughts and make their own decisions. The price that must be paid for this shifting of responsi- bility is a heavy one—the loss of a kingdom. We voluntarily abdicate the throne of personality, resign the priceless privilege conferred upon every human being in this civilized land—the right to think and speak and decide and act for himself.

Instead, hope has changed to fear—fear that some day we may win and that the shock will be too great. “Dave,” Ezra Meeker'’s faithful ox, smiled when he saw The Star Saturday night.
