never made a mistake. and | will sho
you a lazy good-for-nothlng who ha
escaped errors OF Judgment and condut
by being too indolent TO attempt any
thing. Mistakes are good schoolmasteri
they show us that we know not, IN orde
that we may be better able to know. q.
mistake is danger signal that warn
into new, more careful and more thought
full ways. And do not limit the utilit.
Of mistake merely to the range OF stud
les and business, refer even TO awiu
mistakes in morals, to social sins tha
are sweet TO the taste and bitterin fleets
These may teach ana purify, il we vii
but drag ourselves away from them anC
think them over at distance.

REMEMBER that he who goeth TO ac'
complish great things for himself or for
the world, needs not to be known to be
weak and immoral in order To lose his
power OF accomplishments; wrong thing
done need have no witnesses IN order to
undo man. Yielding 10 a darling sin
takes away the ability to be all you
might bp; not because your friends know
you to BE- doer OF evil, but because you
know yourself TO be go, and the traitor
within the citadel of your honor and pur-
pose does not remain undiscovered, for
the traitor is the professed defender.
-" -" -"
REMEMBER that can safely go one step
further and assert to you who think
may your number multiply a still more
noteworthy thing about yielding to evil.
The thought OF wrong cherished as a
pleasant thing, is enough to unnerve you
without waiting for the deed to be done
Cardinal Newman says very wisely and
very beautifully
But he who lets his thoughts run on
In soft luxurious flow,
Faints when hard service must be done |
And shrinks at every foe.
The thought is father to the deed. We |
talk of dissipation for the body; there is
a dissipation OF the mind and that is
found in letting the thoughts run I'M
checked, particularly il they are OF an I'M
lean character.

REMEMBER in following that last
thought that there is dissipatio OF the
mind, even apart from filthy musings; it
3 found in being sufficiently severe with
Yourself. Remember also that there may
ven be spiritual dissipation, when, in
he higher regions of thought that affect
mems souls and future destinies, you let
our spiritual desires run riot until all
Who fail to believe with you are believed
q he in the wrong. Remember too the
ommon fault OF bodily dissipation. /
eg OF you TO remember as sensible beings
hat the powers you in your OVERT owing
outh regard as solely given for your
leasure, are merely an Inheritance from
our parents to bepassed on sDotless and
ndefiled to your children.
REMEMBER that spider dipped in ink
IN make scrawls across paper, that
og can scratch easth, that monkey
IN daub paint, but that the in
diligence oil human being is needed to
ain meaning and profit and fame from
~ or all of these acts. Your sheep is a
flower OF instincts equally as much
hen mature as it was when 1t frsked it's
stless tail and fled affrighted from NOV
e objects. Neither honor nor dishonor
taches to it's life, save that it has been
it could be. But you are man; born
creature of instinct yet capable of be
ming a creature OF thought, whose use
life has within it the possibilities OF
anne or OF esteem. II you merely follow
'ur instincts, you are less worthy than
animal, for it has done all it could
ID you have not. Be a man, dear fel-
W. and venerate yourself; then no mat
how humble your lot in life, you will
worthy comrade of those who
rough the patient ages have led us
way from mere animalism.
