vate in ourselves and in those we meet
upon the highway of life.
But with all the depravity, cruelty
and seIfshness in man, there is still
something in the human heart that
cherishes memories of the great and
good. Man a1mires Hleroism and adores
unSelfiSh devotion.
See the galaxy of names shining with
ever increasing luster. of those who
have toiled and hoped for us in ages
past: they live on and on more surely
than if their names had been inscribed
on monuments of brass or marble.
The luster is growing brighter and
brighter of Damon and Pythias and
they themselves have passed from
earth about two thousand years before
their virtues of self-sacrif1ce and hero
ism were seen in their splenror and
magnificence. Let US toll on and make
life worth the living.
/ may not reach what I pursue
Yet will l keep pursuing
Nothing is vain that ] can do
For soul growth comes of doing.
