No one mind can fully grasp the i'm

this vital department of human effort

quote the homely words of an adver-

The CONSERVATIVE, Of pointing out to
the young men of our common country,
restless for some worthy chance of
showing that in their clay there is no
yellow streak, the vastness of oppor-
tunity to be found here.
Was it not youthful energy that
made the insurance companies what to-
day, they are, and must it not be this
same youthful aggressiveness that shall
stand by these companies in the future,
fight their battles, work out their mis-
sions, crown their existence with such
glory of achievement as shall illumine
along the horizon of the ages, the
names and careers of their founders?
Truly, here,it seems to me, is business

ductive Of opportunity, as is the ability
of the mind of man to conceive it's

sibilities-

the courageous devotion of the unborn

shall spring up out of the coming life,
else, who shall guard this honorable
business, shall make as adamant the
memories, works and deeds of them
who gave to it being, if not our worthy
youths when to manhood grown? And
what memorial more lasting than the
successful careers of these same loyal
youths who would earn the right of
toiling in their stead, may the more fit
