Mr.. Goshen's Address.
"You young men and young women
are tonight standing at the parting Of
The ways" said he, land which way
you viii take. each one must say for
him or herself. But choose wisely. for,
having taken the course, there is no
turning back; you must so on and on

TT 7 would win your praise / would
say YOU are all educated. and ali you
have to do Is TO go forth to be re-
ceived by the world with open arms.
But 7 want To say that YOU stand
nearer the center Of the stage tonight
than YOU will again for a long time.
You win have to go into the world and
labor for what YOU get You are only
beginning YOUR education when YOU
leave the school where you receive
your early education. You have been
only tearing away the debris, as it
were. t1 build a foundation upon which
20 rear a structure Of life.
For this foundation YOU must dig
deeply If YOU would rear a lasting
structure, and must build upon it year
by year. IF your purpose is a selfish
ooc. then the structure viii be but a
hot that will crumble under time and
be covered with the dust Of defeat; but
If your purpose be "a worthy one the
structure viii be a lasting one.
Calling in Life.
Don't choose your calling IN life
because some fond parent or dOting
person says YOU are fitted for that
alone but choose the calling that you
can't help choosing. and devote your
energies to the accomplishment Of one
aim. Read and study always that you
may bring 20 the world something that
IS good
