from the High School, you are step
ping into greater school, the school
of life, from which there Is no grad

strife to gain knowledge. We should
aim to associate with true spirits,
with those who love the truth and
strive to live 1t.

In talking on any subject relating
to the great battle of life. Rev. Mr..

for the purpose of making manhood
better purer, and nobler," said the
