In conclusion let me call your attention
10 the fact that true character ls nj slow
CROWN This Is an importantly matter for
Guhg people 10 realize. Young men are
iull OF ambition, and often desire 60 lean

lauuer OF fame; and so they endeayor
70 hasten towards a reputation
Snat VIII give them prestige
among men. Although young man NAV
give ample proof of ability and success,
yet the world VIII not admit him into it,
'SVor until ne has spent years OF steady
GRAPHING WITH DIFFICULTIES
and slow stages Of personal growth. III
10 not hesitate TO say that one OF the fun
evils Of our times is that young
men are oyer-hasty in endeavorine Go
reach elimination of character. This
often leads to schemng and dishonesty,
and ultimately results in disaster, and
iepriving them Of the success which
might have been achieved
alter in life. A great and noble character
S by necessity of slow growth. An
nature teaches this. The great oak that
ives for centuries, aud by Its deep an.
;horage battles the storms, is not the
growth OF single summer, like the pur
ooseless weed on the prairie, bat the
growth of many generations, gaining
strength by the storms shat play harm !

character comes by patient toll, IN

each the climax of greatness, but move
n fearlessly IN the discharge of every
uty, bending all your energies TO attain
noble end, and success will follow and
rown your life. Thus 90 forth, and
Nerve thy spirit TO the proof,
And anch not at thy chosen lot;
IT. timid good may stand aloof,
The sage may frown--yct faint thou not
Nor heed the shaft, too surely east
The kissing, stineing bolt of scorn,
For with thy side shall dwell at last,
The victory Of falthfulness born"
Young men, take care of your char
cter and your reputation will take care
