' 3S3K) Rhv. George Reader, A. T ' ., B. D. Shelbyville, Illinois. Character is not built in a day. Those who achieve lasting greatness must work through difficulties, endure hardships, and dare to attempt new and perplexing problems. Mr. Reader came to Olivet in nineteen twenty-six, and his high Christian ideals were at once outstanding. Through his entire college life he has worked un- tiringly, and lived an ideal Christian life, putting God first, others second, and him- self last. His faith in God, his fidelity to duty, and his preaching ability predict that he will be a valuable man in our growing Church of the Nazarene. We feel that he has laid a foundation while in Olivet College that will sup- port a great and beautiful super-structure, a CHRISTIAN CHARACTER. ■;-«» Page Twenty-one %,l |. : I. .:- ;■ -,1 ■v.m::!

Not all great men come to wealth. Not all noble men succeed. The glory of a life is not The record of one daring deed. So if I serve my purpose true, And hold my course, tho ' tempest tossed. It will not matter in the end. Whether I won my fight, or lost. If only victory were good. And only riches proved men ' s worth, Then only men of strength could live, ., And brutes alone would rule the earth. , ... Then striving for some lofty goal. And failing to succeed, were sin ; And men would lie, and cheat, and steal. And stoop to anything to win. But there are greater goals than gold, And higher virtues than success. And HOW I ' ve fought shall mean far more Than what I ' ve managed to possess. Selected. I ' lujc T ' ,Oi-iity
