What is the most important factor
n a man's life? Is it ths strength of
his body, the keenness of his mind,
or the sincerity of his character?
Surely, all uro important aspects,
but the latter is of dominant con­
cern: for a man’s character shows
what he has really accomplishod
with body and with brain. The only
permanent impression one leaves
upon life is the pure gold of a
sincere character that commands
the respect, trust, and loyalty of
others. Mind and body are of no
greater importance than the char­
acter they enshrine.

whose infinitude, as in the unfolding
light and law of love, abides our
hope, and our eternal joy."
