the Parsons daughter. Riding along
leisurely through Pelahatchie swamp
his horse got frightened, jumped, and
landed the young parson fat on his
back in mud hole. Some one said

BOYS. ASPIRE.

Be something, boys; do something
with this life Of yours. God gave il
to us and it is stamped with the insig
MIA Of divinity. If youth is wasted,
opportunities neglected, all will soor
be beyond recall. Set up each fol
himself standard of excellence, anG
work and work with all that is bes
in you mentally, morally and physi
cally to attain that ideal.
Purity of life, intensity of purpose
these are sure foundation stones OF
which to build-with faith in Gods
goodness and mercy which will not
fail you in your need. The weakest
need not fear.
Inscribe truth upon your banner
speak truth, live truth. "A man
who breaks his word, bids other be
false to him." and the truer You are
to yourselves, the more goodness and
nobility you will see in other men.
The Christ, the divine tpye, is onr
true ideal-study that type.
You need not search for it in the So
ciety of the worlds famous men-but
in association with good men. Good
ness proves God, science cannot ex-
plain Him.
Follow Christ in your dealings
with your fellow students. He did
not condemn, but forgave all. We
cannot judge what evil association
may lave done to mar an innately
noble character. Judge no man
harshly. The fall for which we
censure him may be Gods way of
making him rise to, take frmer,
surer stand.
Let us all be thoughtful Of those
among us who have SO recently set up
the divine ideal. Give them help
ing hand-speak q word of cheer, and
let them feel that we too have jour-
neyed the same way and that we all
MAY rise on stepping stones,
Of our dead selves, to noble things,
God willing
Remember, boys, you are the COM
ing men of the twentieth century. Do
noble work-act we'll your part-and
make it an era Of success-of good
will to yonr fellow man, and as SEN
eca wrote to his friend Luciilus: Life
is like play upon the stage, it sig
mites not how long it lasts, but how
well'it is acted. Die when or where
you will, think only of making a
good exit.
