life here. For several wears she assisted

business ability, iaithu'nesS, readiness
to do a favor, and her true womanliness
won tor her the love and admiration o

Rev. Edgar Blake of Lebanon, N. H.,
gave a most interesting address on The
| Enrichment OF Life" to the members Of
the graduating class in the church,
Wednesday evening. He told them not
to stop studying because they have fin
ished their school life, but to continue
studying and observing so that they
might take their place in the ranks OF the
thinking" men and women of the day.
| Above all they must correspond with
| their environments, and with the people
| about them. If they are blessed with
any particular talent they must remcm-
Der it was given them by their Creator,
| not for their own enjoyment but that
the world might be made better by their
use of it. The man who takes for his
motto through life such maxims as Self
preservation is the first law OF nature, ="
and Look out for number one is no
more or less than suicide, having killed
his power of development. In speaking
of the social problem Mr. Blake quoted
from Edward Markham's MAN with
the Hoe and said that although that
piece might be overdrawn it contained
the TRUTH but it must be remembered
that we are the victims of a vicious sys
TEN, rather than the victims of vicious
men as many seem to think.
