who spoke upon Ideals" He .iw,eIt
upon the visions of youth. when the
heart Is moved most passionately by
Ideals. The faculty of vision, he said
is fresh in youth, and every great move
ment IN history has been done by
youthful persons. Speaking of the
aNnts Of this century. he said that ii
has>been ton by pa1phe1s that at the
md of the twen/~h century that the
0rientals and africans would roll a
| Hood of - risrn over the civilized
world until there was not a vestige

Its have seen in the future, and there
was reason in it. 1t is because of the
national exhaustion which always fol-
lows great periods of progress in the
civilized countries. He spoke long of
| duty and gave some advice TO the
Young laoies about to enter the world
with new responsibilities.
