The man who is honest merely be cause it is "the best policy” is not really honest; be is only politic. Usu ally such a man would forsake his seeming loyalty, to truth and would work overtime for tbe devil—if be could get better terms. Truth means “ tlint which one trow- etli or believes.” It is living simply and squarely by our belief; it is the externalizing o f a faith ill a series of actions. Truth is ever strong, coura geous, virile, though kindly, gentle, calm and restful. There Is n vltnl differ ence between error and untruthfulness. A man may be In error and yet live bravely by It. lie who Is untruthful iu bis life knows the truth, but denies it. The one is loyal to what be be lieves; tbe other is traitor to what he knows. Tlie man who makes the acquisition of w ealth ’ the gouT a nd ~ul tlmatom of ills life, seeing it as an end rather than a means to an end, is not true. W hy does tlie world usually make wealth the criterion of success and riches tlie synonym of attainment? Real success In life means the lndl vldual’s conquest of himself; it menns “ how be has bettered himself,” not “ H ow lias he bettered his fortune?” The great question of life is not "W hat have I?” hut "W h a t am I?” Man is usually loyal to what he most desires. The man who lies to save il nickel merely proclaims that he es teems a nickel more than he does his honor. H e who sacrifices his Ideals, truth nnd character for mere money or poaltlon Is weighing bis conscience In one pan of a scale against a bag of gold in the other. He la loyal to what he finds tbe heavier, that which he de- airea the more—the money. But this is not truth. Truth is tbe besrt's loy alty to abstract right made manifest In eoncrete instances. The tradesman who Ilea, cheats, mis leads and overcharges and then aeeks to square himself with his sna-mlc conscience by saying "lying is abso lutely necessary In business” is as untrue in his statement as he is In bis acts. H e Justifies himself with the petty defense as the thief who snys it is necessary to steal in order to live. The permanent business prosperity of an Individual, a city or a nation rests Anally on commercial integrity alone, despite all that the cynics may say or all the exceptions whose temporary success may mislead them. It is truth alone that lasta.
