You sny that It is your decided preference to contlnuo In your present work. I hnd not un derstood. On tho contrary, I gnth orod that what you really .wanted to do wns to go on tho bonch and that my urging was In the 1'lno of your iiio'inat'on, but In a niatfor in which you woro In doubt ns to yonir duty. j "My dear Will, it la prominently a niatfor In which no othor man can tako tho responsibility In dcc'dlng for yon what is right and bot for you to do. Nobody could decide for me whether I should go to war or stay as assistant secretary of tho navy. Nobody could dccldo for mo whethor I should nccopt tho vlco presldoncy or try to contlnuo as gov ernor. In each caso It is tho man himself who Is to lead his life aftor having decided ono way or tho other. No one can load that llfo for him, and neither he nor anyono olso can afford to have anyone else make tho decision for him; hecauso tho vital factor in tho decision must bo a question of tho man hlmsolf.
