The Last Step.

We have often enough been assured

proverb, that it is the first step that
costs. But what of the last step?
Thousands start in the race, only a
lew come painting to the goal. Many
are called but few are chosen. In that
merciless struggle which only the fit
test survive, how unerringly are past
errors of commission and omission
made to pay their price; and how in
evltably are long forgotten acts of self
control and self discipline found to
figure very materially in the strug-
gler's favorl
