Richards Speaks on True Estimation of Success Rev. R. T. Richards, of Port Perry, was the guest speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Oshawa Kiwanis club held in the Genosha Hotel yesterday. Rev. Mr. Richards was introduced by W. E. Davis. Taking 'as his subject "The True Estimation of Success," Rev. Mr. Richards delivered a Very well thought out address that was ap- propriate as applying to every day life. The vote of thanks to the speak- er was moved by Kiwanian W. A. Hare. During the luncheon a very fine solo was sung by John Gray. "Everyone above everything else is trying to make a success of life, asserted Mr. Richards, and in so do- ing life's interests are sometimes narrowed and we are prone to esti- mate success in terms of money." We measure most things in terms of money and also measure men some- times by the amount of wealth they can show. In fact, the speaker said, money was a passport to almost any objective with the exception of happi- ness and Heaven. It would be better for the human race to measure success in terms of things we know. Every man can read to enlarge his knowledge, as greater opportunities for study are offered than a generation ago. There is a danger of men becoming pedanic, he asserted and trying to impress others with their knowledge. It is a fact, he stated, that the men who are making the greatest use of their knowledge are simply giving others the benefit of their learning and study. We should know some things well and above all know how to use them. The ultimate criterion of success, Rev. Mr. Richards said, is character. This was shown at the beginning of the Great War when Germany con- sidered the name of her amb: d on a peace treaty as of no value. She did not consider that his name on the document stood for the honour and character of the country. A nation should not consider that the status of the country was being built up by economics and learning alone, but on the character of the people. In conclusion, Rev. Mr. Richards urged the members that they be zealous in building up character that would stand the stress and strain of time if they wished to attain success, and that they consider success only in terms of character based on high | Rev.
