young and old, rich and poor, each one
for himself. 1t is called character, "
and every act of your lives is a stone
for this structure. If day by day you
are careful to build your lives with pure
upright deeds, at the end YOU will
stand fair temple, honored by God and
man. But as one leak will sink a ship,
and one flaw break chain, so one mean
dishonorable act or word will forever
leave its impress and work its influence
on your character. Then let the several
deeds unite to form a day and one by
one the days grow into noble years, and
the years as they slowly pass will raise
at last beautiful edifice, enduring for
ever to your praise, and you will cherish
with the utmost tenderness the
memories of your school life. The old
school house, the familiar walks about
the place, the desk upon which you
wrote your name, all indelibly stored
away in memory never to be forgotten.
