scendants. Then began the task of enter
prise. And what has enterprise accom-
plished? 1t has lined the shores with
wharves, built the stores and dwellings,
cleared and cultivated the land, and
carried on the various industries and
merchantle establishments which have
guaged and Increased the material pros
perity and physical comfort of past and
present generations. All these substan-
tial tokens of mans presence and domin-

the foundation which nature furnished as
all she had to give, enterprise began and
has built up a little city, beautiful tor

plide must not make us content to rest in
what has already been accomplished. 1t
