ing for a guide-post with the single
word Effort" Turn i'll by it and
press on, though it does not lead by

Your highest like a mountain top, will
never seem to move toward you until
you move towards it. Ways of life
are thus divided:-to the doubling
and timid ones, the lOwly paths that
| give no outlook; to the fearless and
purpOseful ones, ways that climb up
ward, leading by many grand eXper-
! fences to prospect most broad and
an atmosphere most celebrating.
And what is this upward triumph
over the downward tendencies Of our
nature, but the counterpart of real
mountain climbing, il which ever the
world grows broader and yet more 81

alone with the Highest, our hearts

weakens your manliness, for action,
no longing, is life. Far better to toll
the path that has been proven by all
ages.
The strong are those who make the
most of life as il comes to them; who
spurn incidence as they would scorp-
ions; who turn the defeats of life into
more certain victories by struggling
on when all seems lost; who Weld to
neither difficulties or disappCintments
nor because they stop 10 argue out
advantages but because the spirit Of
a true man despises ielding-cannOt
yield. These are the ones who stand
serene after great resistings, whose
Gee8S-no matter about men S names!
are woven into every progress, and
whole freely spent efforts are the Sc
cret Of human trumphs. They are a
gOOdly company, whom no perisable
book shall ever record, but whose
works live through the hands that
wrought be dead.
Herein is your hope and mine, hum
be men Of purpose. shall we credit
Martin Luther with the Reformation?
No, rather he merely voiced a feeling
that was moving resistlessly through
the awakening European giant.
Without that dumb cry for freedom
OF Thoughtful cry that was not solely
n religious DrOtest-hc might well
have fingered within the scholastic
walls of WitUeuberg. Shall We paint
si&nerS Of our Declaration as heroes:
Yes, if you Will. Vet surely they
come to the front because there was
public opinion back Of them, and this
was made up of those nameless yet
conscientious elements of a country's
life that are the substratum and the
very substance also Of all great for
ward movements. Aud-On the other
hand shall we credit Alaric with dis
rupJing the Roman Empire? No, his
strength consisted in the strength CT
his enemies, who, raised to Heaven
by their privileges, brought them
silves down to destruction: not by
the wickedness of any one man, but
by the general uprighteoUsness and
conseQuest fcebleness of the many.
Alas. the strong and weak together
make up a nation, and its continuous
power is possible only by an increase
of the strong and decrease OF the weak
/ The weak are those who do not utilize
life to the full; who, loving the com
fort Of the not house, perish at the
chidings of the north wind; who crum-
bic like SaLd ramparts at the first
touch of the ocean of testing that all
characters must endure if they be true
who seek for themselves the quiet
riches of life, satisfied to forego the
homIis if only they can escape the
strivings that precede honors; who,
like trOpic sav&ges, are content with
food secured without labor and much
sleep with late awakeningS; who be
ing weak are selfish, and shut away
their compassion from struggling,
eager humanity whose efforts they
scorn, but whose shoe-strings they are
not worthy to unloose; who have the
forms of men but the virulent soft
ness Of jelly-fsh; who have the outer
! appearance of manly grandeur but
the attributes of internal parasites,
hidden. despised, invertebrate, yet
