STRONG PERSONALITIES.
" in every eommunity, circle or family there rlse ancl stand out men and women who have the spark of personality. They protest or plead, launch out on or lead an enterprise; they have ideals and spread them;= they esponse a cftuse they believe in; they defy convention if it muffles justice and the rjghfc; they create, impress, persuade and monld opinion, and so change lives. They prove the dynamics of personality and radiate it. They stand out against eonduct lpwer than the best, and scorn the dead-level of debased or vulgar standards. They realise the preciousness of individual men and women, and will not have them put in irons under boards or bureaucraoies which prevent their thinking and acting for themselves. " They feel that every life has a purpose, a service to render, a testimony to give, or something to discover. Everyone, they believe, is born with the miraele of life, an individuality to realise, a personality to mature, and a judgment to exercise. Their own contagious personality enlarges the sense of possibilities and powers in others, and personality is to them a thing of real worth. Personality is then known as their supreme gogd, the divinest reahty with which they deal, and they disc.pver that the only way to develop personality is by loving service of their fellow-men. Lands, houses and investments, the wealth of Croesus or the conquests of Alexander, decay and vanish; but live, throbbing personality wity sions abide hnvAn.3 Time.'?-«-John Scott in Chambers' JournaL
