Without high ideal an individual
never climbs. Keep your eyes on the
mountain top, and though you may
stumble and fall many times in the
ascent, though great boulders, dense
forests and roaring torrents may often
bar the way, look right on, never los
ing sight of the light which shines way
up in the clear atmosphere of the
mountain peak and you will ultimate
ly reach your goal.
There is always a new chance wait
ing for you no matter how many times
you fail. Men who have passed mid
die life without dollar In their peck
cts have died millionaires. Others
who were married and had families
about them before they could much
more than scrawl their own names
have won fame as thinkers and schol-
ars. Some of the grandest liyes on
record have past overwhich charity
draws veil. While there Is life there
is hope. Never say there is no chance
for me Every day is fresh chance.
