power over. his own soul simply be-
cause the impossible things haunt and
scare him, the very unreality of their
being is greater than all reality to him.
The sense of duty is the only thing that
can smooth his path. The world is
full of vital questions that need to be
answered, duties are facing us every
day that must be fulfilled and The brave
man is the one who will do his duty
regardless OF sspublic opinion" Brave
and honest men do not work for gold.
They work for love and character.
Adaptnbility TO Circumstances.
1T has been said that you may put
a Yankee IN a desolate island and only
leave with him a jack-knife and he will
get home as soon as, if not one than,
the ship that left him there" A man
who adapts himself to circumstances
and does the very best he knows how
will be the n to succeed. The race
is not always to the swift nor the
battle TO the strong. Circumstances
OF which so many complain should be
regarded as the very tools with which
we are to work, the stepping stones we
are to mount. The true way to conquer
circumstances is to be a greater cir
cumstance to yourself.
Let us cultivate that tact to meet
every emergency of life. Remember
each new day that dawns upon you,
each hour that rests with you in its
rapid flight, each of the moments which
together make up the sum total of your
existence, each of these has its oppor-
tun1ties and responsibilities.

"One of the greatest questions that
faces every student when he leaves the
school is How shall l get on in tie
world And we'll should it be. for
he is going to stir his bark out upon
an unknown sea. No man ever sailed
over exactly the same route; every
mar must arch his sail to an untried

Without a sail he must fearlessly stir
on through reefs and icebergs on every
side.

we find the path of success is steeper
and more thorny to-day than eyer be-
fore. Competition faces us on every
side, and the battle of life becomes
fierce and bitter.
You have an aim in life, try to full
fill it. Aim to act we'll your part, for
theirin lies all the honor. You have
a certain mission in this world; throw
into it all the energies of your soul.
The battle of life caiinot be fought by
proxy; be your own helper, be earnest,
be watchful, be diligent, and if you do
not win success you have the con-
seriousness of knowing you have done
your best.
But what is success? Is it a sub
~jective or an objective thing? Is it a
reality or an idea? Is it a tangible or
is it a spiritual quality? To a child
the rainbow is a real thing its limit
rests on the side of the hill. He be-
lieyes that he can appropriate it to
himself, and when, instead of gems of
gold he finds nothing but damp mist,
cold dreary drops of disappointment,
the wise man knows the laws of 1ight
and science, and that back CT all stands
God with his promises.
"The merchants success is not in
the wealth, place and home, but on
habits of perseverance, character
trained by industry.
You have finished your preparatory
work; you are now to enter a new
sphere of life; the gates are open, pass
