HOW TO SUCCEED.

CHAPTER I.

FIRST, BE A MAN.

The great need at this hour is manly men. We want no
goody-goody piety; we have too much of it. We want men who will
do right, though the heavens fall, who believe in God, and who
will confess Him.
--REV. W. J. DAWSON.

All the world cries, Where is the man who will save us? We want

it is true he will be neither a soldier, a lawyer, nor a divine. _Let
him first be a man_; Fortune may remove him from one rank to another, as
she pleases, he will be always found in his place."

"First of all," replied the boy James A. Garfield, when asked what he
meant to be, "I must make myself a man; if I do not succeed in that, I
can succeed in nothing."

"Hear me, O men," cried Diogenes, in the market place at Athens; and,
when a crowd collected around him, he said scornfully, "I called for
men, not pigmies."

One great need of the world to-day is for men and women who are good
animals. To
