Earnest striving and perseverance are rare qualities. A little struggle, and then a falling off; few faint efforts. and then despair-this is the usual story of attempts to "get any thing whether it be a physical, mental or spiritual good. But to long for a thing so strongly that for the sake of it's attainment one can conquer obstacles, live down opposition, ignore discourage ment and work persistently and through years of trial and obscurity toward the ful6llment of 8 hope-is not this the rec ord of all grand achievements and the history of all purposeful lives2
