DON'T BE DISCOURAGED.
Don't be discouraged Only remem-
Der what I have said in regard to char
acter and confidence in your own abll-
ity to do things If you have these you
have the equipments of successful
life. And not only does the success of
your life depend upon them but the
success of your country. The progress
that this country has made is largely
due to the laboring man. The future
welfare of this country is dependent
upon labor and the men and women
who are to solve the problems of the
future will come from out the homes OF

II have not much more time now and
in closing I will tell you of one of Opie
Reads stories in order to illustrate my
point. Read went on visit to the cap
ito1 of his country. He saw there the
FURNISHED buildings which contained
the heads of all the different branches
of the government. He saw the capitol
building with its lofty dome. Farther
down he saw the treasury bursting
with its millions. then he saw the army.
the navy and alls of the other govern
ment buildings and he was so moved
by their magnificent appearance that
he said to himself: This is where war
or peace is declared. This is where the
great questions of state are settled and
surely this is the very foundation of
this government of ours
"A short time after this Read went
back to his home. One evening he de-
cided to go over to visit with an old
friend of his and having come 70 this
conclusion he hitched up his horse and
started. After driving several miles he
entered the lane leading to the house of
his friend and as he neared the house
he made out the figure of the man him
self standing upon the porch of his
home after a hard days work. AS he
came nearer to the house his friend
recognized him and came down the
lane to greet him. His friend took him
into the house and shared his humble
meal with his caller and after the meal
was over he did not forget his duty to
the Lord but with his own hands he
got out the family Bible and there in
the parlor of the humble home a SER
vice was held which was simple but
impressive. Read says: When I be-
held this humble man calling down the
blessing of God upon his country. his
home and his family said to myself

old Jupiter Pluvius himself had spotted
Markham's grove as a playground and
seemed to take special delight in seeing
just how much water he could pour
upon the heads of the suffering pic
nickers. Every one was soaked until
his clothing stuck to him like the skin
on a piece of bologna. Among those
who received a wetting was a certain
newspaper scribe who went to the
grove for the purpose of getting a
story-but that is not important.

ton in the Bette Stuart Institute in this
