for him of old. No matter how mighty the
tree, a sharp X and repeated blows will
bring its towering strength to the ground.
The block from which you would carve the
statue, around which a world may bow with
the homage that genius ever commands, may
lie deep in the quarry, but strong muscles
exill dig it out, and the triumph be more
grand ter the sweating toll. Nothing pro-
duces nothing. enterprises of great pith
and moment are not the work of an instant.
The pigments and brushes and canvas are
given. but the picture comes not without
thought and effort and inspiration, never by
standing still.
Go forward for the right, the true and the
holy. There is always something ahead.
The battles of the past have been fought,
and those Of the future alone have any claim
upon sword and spear 1t is in the days to
come that the banner, gemmed with the
stars of hope, and glittering with the halo
OF promise to mankind, to you, is given to
the wind. Look not back upon dust and
ashes and mouldering bones, but forward,
ever forward, to something of life and blood
and health and a nobly beating heart.
60 forward. The days that remain for
the accomplishment are few, and much lis
yet to be done. There is no time Tor wait
ing. Keep upon the alert to gain another
victory that will rebound to your credit;
that will render brighter and purer your
manhood; that will enable you to lay up
something against the hour of want. Keep
alive to the actions and the requirements, to
the possibilitiesas we'll as the necessities, of
the age. BY grasping firmly, make the in
tangible a living reality ; give to the feeting
q palpable presence, II d,compel the obsti-
nate to become the faithfully serving.
Go forward. There isveverything to woo
and nothing to discourage. AT every glance
the needs OF earth are given to your view.
Temptation is upon every hand, and broth
!, ers are falling thickly by sthe wayside; wo-
man is stretching out to you her helpless
arms for pity and succor; the wrong is
, trampling down the right in many places
: and truth is driven to the wall by falsehood
3 A giant work remains to sbe done, and the
:. ranks require filling up. Advance bh'
standards OF morality, and justice, and tenn
| peranee, and charity, and forward to tth'
} struggle!
Go forward. Let nothing tempt you II
: turn your face backward and sigh for til
days gone before, for rest and ease; the EN-
9 is before, not behind; the golden reward il
It the future, not the past. That which j
gone can never be recovered, but that whic
is yet to come can be %grappled with hook
n OF steel land made subservient to the highes
e and best uses and glory OF mankind. L
even Think of turning back, OF standing still
o. is puerile, is unworthy of the incentives
Y pressing on, of the God-given powers.
Y Go forward. The years are doing so; al
u other has just been added to the long lin
. ssthat shall stretch away to the trump {
DOOM" The century is not standing Ill
moving, and why should you? In the dawl
ing light OF anew year, it is fitting ma
o. should progress with it that he should tax
SIS a step in advance of the old; that he shout
er resolve to gain a place in advance of any
as has ever accomplished; that, when the CT
Gle of the months is completed, he may
in able to look back proudly, and rejoice in tt
10 progress made.-Round's Printers Cabinet.
