The future is calling to the youth OF
today. There are battles for liberty
to be fought in the forum and in the
field, battles perhaps greater than the
world has before known. The genera
ton now growing into manhood and
womanhood will have to bear the
brunt in these contests. What an in.
spring prospect. What an opportunity
to serve God and humanity.

in the main are right. They have not

though ridieuled. becomes the dominant
thought of tomorrow. Do not play the
game of life in a petty way Have
confidence enough in yourself to aim
high. And then prepare yourself. drill
yourself. drive yourself. work your
self night and day to reach that aim.
The way TO succeed is to make your
self worthy of success. The day has
passed for footing your own horn. II
