that you in this State are giving to ed

depend upon the way in which the
young generation of today is trained to
citizenship in the future. l am sorry
to say that there is probably no one
here who is not acquainted With some
kindly, Well-meaning and most fool
iSh father or mother who, because life
has been hard with him or her in the
past, takes the view that the children
are not to have to face any difficulties.
The worst thing that you can do for a
child is to BRING him or her up so
as to dodge difficulties. The children
that Will rise up to call their parents
blessed are those to whom the par
entS have given the ineStimable priv
ilge of training them to meet difficult
ties, not to shirk them, to overcome
obstacles not to get out of the way
for them. Neither the individual nor
the community is worth anything if
it seeks after that which is easy.
The thing to do is to find out Wha,
is worth doing and do it. Show the
manly quality that allows of this be-
ing done.
"In every audience here in tn
South l see men who fought in the
Confederate armyin the Civil War.
Usually men who fought in the I'M
ion army also. Those men as they
look back feel that the part of their
career of which they are most proud,
the memory of which they wish to
hand on to their children is not any
part that was easy, but the part
when they did the hardest work and
the work that was worth doing. when
they proved their fealty to an ideal
by the way in which they did the
work allotted them to do"
When the President had conclud-
ed. some strong man IN the crowd
yelled loudly. "Three Cheers for Our
President" and they were given with
vim. Roosevelt smiled, waved his
adieu. and the train pulled out of
the station on it's way Southward.
The crowd that assembled to greet
the President was immense. Even
the roofs of box cars down the rail-
road yards were covered with peo-
pie.

Holy Sepulchre and the Mount os or
ives. OF course they deny our plat
form-,hey say that Jesus was no:
the Son OF God. To us who believe iv
the Lords divinity there is this sure
refuge. this safe hiding place from the
storms. When doubts arise. although
we should do our best 10 dispose OF
them. we should remember every mo-
ment in the face Of mysteries and
contradictions and OF alleged offenses
against the intellect that the Founder
OF Christianity could have made no
mistake because He was the Son OF
God
Christianity is divine because of the
divinity OF the Founder and IL is be-
cause OF this divinity that Christianity
has endured thus long and all changes
and connections and progress shall
survive until the end OF time. One Of
the many tokens OF its heavenly char
acter is that il has confronted all the
powers OF darkness and has carried
the day in every struggle and on every
field. From the outset an effort has
been made 10 Danish il from the face

Let the winds blow and the waves

Gods Double Purpose.

God manifestly has a double purpose
in view in bestowing blessings upon
an individual, namely, the good OF the
individual and the larger and wider
benefits that others may receive
through the individual. To Abraham
He said. Blessing ! will bless thee,
and multiplying | will multiply thee"
1t is an experimental fact that men
are enriched in the best things by i'm
parting them 10 others. So IL is that
graces are enriched by leading others
into gracious ways of living. So il is
that character is improved by the work
of character building in others, and
truth more securely and deeply rooted
in US by teaching it TO others. To shut
up ones gifts and hide ones light is TO
impoverish and darken ones own soul.

to be at their strongest because some
sin or fault of youth has left its
