Melbogins 3, Turow Phones: Office, Character Chi For Success in Business Rev, Walter Lucks, of To- . yonto Delivers Instruc- thing Worth While. (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Feb. Ge of the most necessary elements which go to a successful business man is acter," stated Rev. Walter ks, of Holy Trinity Anglican . urch, Toronto, tonight, when he addressed the Men's Canadian Club of Bowmanville at their regu- tar sueeting held in the Balmoral Ho- tel, "If we expect to do anything worth while in this world we must ve character so that we may face culties in a straightforward man. ner, and our character must be of the right makeup." ev. Lucks spoke to the club tos night mn the place of Provost F. W. Cosgrave, who was at the last minute unavoidably detained. Rev, Lucks gave his address on "Success in Business Life" and is an extremely interesting speaker, and during the course of his talk gave several accounts of humorous inci- dents which he had seen or heard, Continuing the speaker said: "Our characters should be able to stand the acid test and ought to be based on the real and unfictitious val- use if we would make ourselves in- to successes as business men" At this point Rev. Lucks discussed. the ways in which characters are de- veloped and gave for his first exam- ple "heredity." "Heredity does count," said the speaker, "A great deal depends on what you are doing now and what you are, at this time, 'What ye sow so also shall ye reap' A man will "find himself doing the things which his fathers before him did, and quite unconsciously. The spiritual powers, 'mental ideas and physical attainments are all brought out more or less into character of the second, third or even fourth generations afterwards," Here stories were related bearing out the assumption that heredity is a great factor in the formation of a character. It was definitely shown that one cannot escape from the grinding ideals and inborn differen ges which are given through heredity. "Education," said Rev. Lucks, "is ore today than the three "R's", fducation is more than .» erely pours ng into one's ears the mechanical owledge of books. The school, bey gides being a place for study, is an institution where character is formed "and developed. We, the older ones, must give our children the oppor- tunities to receive the best education Possible for it is the training of their characters which is the greatest need of a country." The speaker pointed out the splens 'did system of education which is i ration at this time in Ontario and d the advantages that such a system has in developing the char- acter so that when the time comcs for the best of one's' character to 'come to the front there will be no halting, and the result will be for the of the country and for the good of the rommunity. #Perhaps the most valuable addition to character building in the wy of overcoming life's' difficulties," Rev went on the say, "was the Making use of the experiences which . bas to offer. Many go through Jife and hear and see nothing, and as 2 result know not when they come up against a similar problem, how to meet it. We all know, or should know that experiences should mold a character quickly, and that the char- acter is accordingly stronger in the t channel if expeiences are util- jzed for this purpose." Instances of the success of men who employed the use of this medium for character up- ing were related and proved the that life's experiences were one method of making character and ying the different sides of life. speaker emphasized as his next point, the relation of courage to 'character formation. Several instan- ces were given which showed that in miany cases a dogged perseverance is absolutely necessary to lead the way success, It was also shown where ability to go slow and judge one's pctions was important toward the Sh H Fs 587; Rea, 84. Element far-off goal of success. "We must wait and do the small things before we do the great for the great always come after the small things in life. They who are not wil ling to do the small jobs, are not equal to do the larger and more re- sponsible achievements." Rev. Lucks made an appeal to Svetyone in gen- eral to do small things first and wait for the great things to present them- selves. "Life is like a cross-word puzzle," the speaker said, "and with hard work it will all fit in together. Luck comes sometime to every man, in large and small degrees, but he should never wait and ' depend on luck to guide him to the top of the ladder. Hard work, as well as any- thing is almost essential in overs coming the little setbacks and getting over the difficulties which never fail to appear. I will admit that inspira- tion is necessary, but the question of drifting through life amounts to no- thing. "What seems like a detail but in the end a big advantage to success is the habit of early rising. When this occurs, minds are clearer, and the brain is in a good state for work- ing when the time for usua! business arrives, "the fact that there are a number of slipshode men in he world today proves that there is not sufficient concentration to work, Concentration to any individual who intends to get anywhere is essential in an extreme degree, Whatever you are be the best that you can be, and success will be the result." Concluding his address, Rev. Lucks told how religion was the main fea- ture which made man strong and built up his character so that he might rise to the highest levels, spoke of religion in the light of the man on the street, and in the board- est sense of the word, He gave an example of a body of men who do a greate service to the community in which they operate, and the country in which they live, the Rotary Clubs. He! IS ARRAIGNED ON Their motto, said the speaker, was for service itself, "They profit most who serve best," "It is no value to any man," the speaker said, "who gains the world and loses his soul, The spirit of re- ligion is more than just essential in building wp a great character and making a man worth while to his fel- low men." The meeting of the Canadian Club was well attended as usual and dur- ing the evening two minutes silehce for the late Earl of Oxford and As- quith was observed by all. Rev, R, J. 'Shires, rector of St, John's An- glican churgh here, introduced the speaker, being an old friend of Rev. Lucks. A suitable reply and vote of thanks was moved to the speaker by Rev, J. U, Robbins, and was s.conded by C. Jewell, of this town, ANNUAL BANK BOOKLET ISSUED Bank of Montreal Edition Deals Entirely With Garden Bowmanville, Feb. 17--The annual booklet which is issued by the Bank of.

Jackson, Whitby, County Engineer Kean and Mr. Ross, met representa- tives of the county of Simcoe, the Dominion Bridge Company, Dominion Government engineers at the bridge on January 31. The com- pany agreed to make adjustments in the electrical equipment of the swing bridge, and the Government repre- | sentatives assured the committees that, as soon as these are comnleted, the government would take over the bridge. This will relieve both S.mn- coe and Ontario counties of the bur- den of this structure, which spans the Narrows at Atherly, between Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching. The high light in the report of the Legislation and Memorials commit- tee, headed by John Morris, Rama, was the adoption of a resolution en- dorsing the proposed airport between Whitby and Oshawa.
