Class Day OratiOn-"Citizenship.' -
BY ARTHUR HUDSON.

Citizenship has broader signif-
cation than you or l are apt to give
1t. The true citizen is he who is
lofty OF purpose, resolute in endea-
vor, ready for a hero's deed but
never looking down on his task be-
cause 1t Is cast in the dav of small
things; scornful of baseness. awake
to his own duties as well as to his
own rights, following the highest
laws with reverence and in this
world doing all that in him lies, so
that when death comes he NAV feel
that mankind is in some degree bet
ter because he has lived.
Face the difficulties as thew come.
Do not be blind to the dangers that
confront us. They are many and
they are real. and the foolish pessi-
mist, look with clear eyes at facts
as they are, if there be corruption
or cowardice in high places. or in
the body Of the people, recognize
the fact. Do not excuse. sill less
eXaggerate it. Face it as fact and
try to do away with it. And re-
member above all things not to be
misled by any cry of sectional or
class hatred or jealousy. If we are
TO win out our fates as we should
win them, if we are to place this
country where this country should
,ventually stand, as the proudest
not only of the republics, but of the
nations of all times, we can do it
'nly by standing together, shoulder
