point far superior to the first. The
strength acquired in attaining the
first ideal becomes the motive force
that inspires the desire and effort
to attain the second. Acquiring
the strength of difficulties over
come, the movement Of life is ever
from a lower to a higher state.
The acquisitions of today create
the opportunity of tomorrow. The
tide of time flows ceaselessly on
forever. Use today to the best
possible advantage and the past
will be thickly sown with seeds Of
contentment, the future will hold
no opportunity that will not be
