Many, he said, do not successfully survive the first transferal from a compnratlvely shel tered life to direct contact with real problems. Many persons, the speaker con tinued, are unsuccessful In life, not because of lack of ability but be cause they possess insufficient en durance, which he colled the second great test of life. The test of comparison la a stum bling block for many, Rev. Gibson believes. The common mistake, h? said, la to compare accomplishments with those of other persons mther than with the Individual's own ideals. The ideals with which one starts out are apt to bo submerged, but a con stant comparison of one's actual -life and Ideals is vital to a successful life, Gibson pointed out. Tho fourth and final test is that of sacrifice. Gibson told the stu dents. A willingness to sacrifice is all-important to any worthwhile ac complishment, he advised his listen ers. Pointing out that, while Con fucius said. 'Know Ttayself"; Buddha preached 'Submerge Thyself"; and Mohammed exhorted his followers to "Assert Thyself." Christ Mid 'Deny Thyself." Denial must be practiced for a full and successful life, Rev. Gibson concluded. Capt. G. R.
