successor be able to say as much in your
praise as have.
l would, il possible, impress upon your
minds the importance of improving the
time allotted you for study. The manner
in which you spend your school days will
appear through all your future life. Many
of you may think you have ample time to
acquire all the knowledge you may need !;
but your school-6ays at longest, will be
short and fleeing. Many of you have
greater abilities and better opportunities
than the generality of people, and conse-
quently, greater responsibility rests upon
you. Do not, then, dsappoint the hopes
Of your friends and blight your own fair
prospects Of future usefulness, by too low
an estimate OF the value of your school
days. Above all, do not forget to seek
that knowledge which shall make you wise
unto salvation. Your happiness through
time and eternity depends upon this
Dear pupils, we may never meet again
on earth, but may we meet in better
world. Farewell
Your sincere friend,
ANsoN II. Cook.

speaker, by occupation farmer, having
been reared in those days when a common
