is point of excellence greater than has
yet been attaincd-onc step nearer to per-
lection than has yet been occupied. But
this point can never be reached without
:. perseverance so strong and so deter
mined that it cannot and will not be turn,
ed aside. We cannot, indeed, hc ali great
generals, uor great presidents, but We can
be great carpenters or blacksnliths, or
tailors, or merchants, or great men.
We are all aiming ut greatness in some
thing. We are fighting the great battles
of life. We are running u great race
either for fame, for favor or for gold.
And shall we give it up when just begun,
when but half over, or just as we are
about to realize the victory? We say
no, never give up the ship" while there
is rag of sail, "never say die" but
struggle on and ON. until perseverance,

this side nor to that, but stick to your
calling until you have reached an emf

But still do remember yet
The song my. mother surg.
1t takes me back to happy hours
They're strangers to me now
When made wreaths Of fragrant flowers,
And placed thea, ON her brow.
Again l wearcd in after years
a wreath of ruscs white,
But they wore wet with scalding tears
The soul had taken its fight.
And now, all free from grief and care,
:. Her. eyes ne'er dimm'd by tears,
She dxells with angels bright and fuir
Mid lIoaren's eternal years.
We in that world will meet again,
Her golden harp be strung,
And unce more shall hear that strain
