yolved. We have faith that our future
will be that of progress. We do not
look forward to the time when man
shall have grown perfect in knowledge
and the exercise of all Christian vir-
tues; from the nature of things that
will never be in finite world, but we
do look for improvement in all that
goes to make up our present civiliza-

With prayers for guidance, with de-
termination to be ever loyal to truth,
with due regard for the opinions of

of the age, we must resolve to make
the most of life and its infinite possi-

A Soliloquy.

Who has made journey through this
western land Of ours and has not car
ried with him through life a lavish
picture wrought by nature on the walls
of memory, to enjoy in retrospect
through all the future years?
We derive great portion of pleas
ure in life from the mere beauties of
nature; our feelings sally forth and
dissipate themselves over the sunny
landscape, and we live "abroad and
everywhere" The song of the birds,
the murmer of the streams, the breath
ing fragrance OF spring and the soft
voluptuousness of summer, all fill us
with mute but exquisite delight, and
we revel in the luxury of sensation
that is produced by a reverence for the
Creator; and thus an uplifting of the
spirit within, which makes us conscious
of life to come, with broader and
larger capacities for comprehending
the mystery of earth and sea.
The chief charm of western scenery
is its freedom from artificial embelish-
ments. In the deep mountain glens,
wild, lonely and rugged, filled with the
fragments of the impending cliffs, one
can see no human hand had part in
beautifying
THE wales in their grandeur wild, nor
afs.4 g1...tr i..f.,
How typical of western human char
acter is its abstract nafurainess, SO far
above any attempt to initiate or assume
foreign role.
The western man is known and hon
ored for his firm hand clasp, genial
smile, honest, cordial words and gen.
uine heart, and his friendship when
merited is of that mold that can stand
the test of adversely. Ours is par
donable pride to be known as western
men and women; and when we reflect,
that our history, az a people, is yet to
be made, we are moved to realize the
vast possibilities that await us, and
that must depend upon us as indiyid-
uals. For race advance is only possible
when the individuals of the race en-
deavor to advance.
Looking to the past we see very great
changes that wonderfully influenced
advancing culture. We have grave
dangers now confronting US along the
lines of progress and culture. The
wisest prophet cannot tell just how the
future will deal with various social and
political problems. The early Turks
and Romans had to meet and solve
problems relatively similar. They sue
ceeded. Then surely we who live in
the age of highest learning and culture
