  Character building goes on everyday. Truth or falsehood, honesty or deceit, love or hatred, honor or reproach, obedience or rebelion, good or bad, day by day the building is going on. There is not a day that does not tell for good or bad. Each sees another stone in the building, hewn straight and true, or all misshapen and crooked. If temptations have been resisted and obstacles overcome, if evil thoughts and feelings have been quenched, and kind and noble thoughts encouraged in their place, then a stone has been hewn for victory and right; but if temptations have been yielded to, and evil thoughts and feelings have been harbored and cultivated, if wrong motives have been allowed, then the stone is unfit for a good building. So as the days go by the builder sorts out and uses of the material at hand that which is put into the character which shall be his through life.
