What Is Success?
[ could have been conceived than the salvation of
| the human race? What death more obscure and
j less in keeping with our ideas of success than cru-
jcifixion, with rude soldiery reviling round about?
{ Wc see. almost daily, some person whose whole
I life is a sacrifice—perhaps a noble woman's to an
j invalid husband or an afflicted child, or a child to
a sickly and feeble parent. In these lives is felt
! 1 he pinch of poverty, the absence of gaiety and so-
I cial pleasures. There is nothing but a dreary round
j of labor and self-denial. Nothing, apparently, suc-
! cessful about such lives, compared with the glitter-

Yet, alter all. which is the real success? Which

i his being in it and a part of it, which should be the
'object of every man and woman horn? Which
