come to young men and young wo-
men. The greatest vision might come
to them as they lived their life in
nobility and strength. Surely the
young people before him had had
their visions. Surely they had weighed
the life Of worlllincss and greed for
gain and scltishncss, and seen there
was Il better life, the life of unset
fiShncSs that cared not for worldly
honor, but that goodness might be
done. And surely they had seen the
greatest vision Of The life that served
It's fcllowman and loved God. That
J man who took every duty us il came
and put the best Of himself into that
duty was the man that after awhile
would have the larger vision Of the
larger life and the larger service.
There were some whose visions by
Force Of surroundings and circum-
stances might never be realiz-
ed, and yet the nnblcst success
might be theirs. In apparent failure
there often came the noblcSt kind Of
success. He who failed bravcly had
not truly failed. but WAS himself con.

Loyalty would after awhile reap in
honor and in greater freedom.

that monument that has been erected
in the City of Columbia to those who
died for the Coni'c,lcracy, aud read
that noble Inscription that they died
| not in vain. there came from my
own heart responsive throb-thcsa
men of high purpose. these men of
conviction-the fidelity to duty as
they saw it unto them has not been
IN vain. Though | may not agree with
what they struggled for, their life
has been lived grandly, and in the
after ages, not simply South Carolina,
but the whole of our great and Strong
union shall praise people that raised
men who could live and die like
| thcm.'
llc told the yui.n9 people that they
might be called to humble duties. but
he admonishcd them to stand fast anil
to take their places as sent of God.
/ After the vision came the task.
There was no crown for him, who
when the summons came. asked why
or how, but the crown was for him
who answered, "Whcn.'
The task to which the young people
before him might be called might be
'''' "f vain and suffering. But if toll
and pain and suffering came the,
would have the fellowship of Jesus
Christ, the sweetest fellowship we
can have on this earth; they would
have the consciousness Of doing good;
they would have the reward Of see
ing Christ at last face to face, and
OF receiving the crown Of righteous
ness which was laid up for the faith
full.
"God grant, he concluded, "that
if you have the vision you may not
; falter in the task.'
No mere synopsis can do justice to
DR.. Albert's discourse. Clear and
logical. it was couchcd in beautiful
language, and vet the thoughts which
ne brought home to the young people
who are now on the threshold of life
were plain and practical.
