GIVES TALK TO YOUNG
T0NOPAH.


pah yesterday morning and delivered
brief addresses, which were listened
to with great earnestness and FREE
quently punctuated with applause by
the pupils and teachers.
In the afternoon the eminent gen.
tleman faced a large and appreciative
audience at the Eagles Pavilion The
exercises were opened with the pa
triotic song, Columbia by the en-
tire school, which was followed by
several solos from the talented mu-
stefan, Mr. Arthur Burrows.
Mr.. G. c. Ross introduced DR.. Sny-
der in very able manner and refer
red to the fact that the name of
Boys Minister was given to DR..
Snyder by some of his boys, who
camped with him among other boys
some years ago. One lad was asked
where he was stopping and he re-
piled, With DR.. Snyder" The speak
er continued, asking the boy, When
does DR.. Snyder hold prayer meet
ing" and the boy answered.: You
mean preach? oh, no, the doctor
never breaches, he is just like other
men; he is the boys minister"
DR.. Snyder then delivered his very
able address, synopsis of which is
given:
No discoveries have ever been
made without great sacrifice and SER
vice. and like Columbus sailing on
unknown seas, facing distress and
death, finally through confidence in
self discovered America; and no
great things have ever been accom-
plished without great sacrifice, labor
and patience. So We must fight the
storms of life, have patience and
faith in self. With your own will
and talent and with the assistance of
God, nothing will be impossible. The
reason that a great many men fail to
crown their achievement is not be
cause they lack opportunity and abil-
ity, but because they lack persever-
ence and courage at the time when
their work seems hard and impos
sible to them. If they had dared they
would have continued; if they hat
remained courageously at their work
they would have worked still, and il
:, they had had confidence in them
selves they would have succeeded.
The reason why great man,
: boys and girls fail to crown thei,
! ideal is not because they lack brair
: and intellect to study, but simpl,
because they lack self-control an,
push. If they had dared many would
have been in school today; if the,
had been taught that no one SHOULD
= do for them what they can do TO
themselves, they would have worke,
: better; if they had realized that onl,
= the one who does a little more tina,
o is expected will rise above the aver
age, they would have filled places 0
!, higher emergency.
What are ideals?
Ideals mean the difference be
tween noble career and a life O
uselessness or worse. If men meas
ure life by what they get out of IL
they will be disappointed; If the
measure life by what they put into |
they will be gratified If We meas
u ure life by what we think of our
selves we will be disappointed, an
If we measure it by what uprigh
and intelligent people think of II
u we will be uplifted.
we must all be clothed and she
tered and any young man who az
cepts these without working for the,
should hide his head in shame. Som
boys and young meh are living tha
awful verse which We all know:
!, OF all my fathers family,
like myself the best.
If some one will take care of M
| bravely risk the rest.
This is very busy world; "
are here to fill certain place an
we must fill that place well, no ma
ter what our vocation in life sha
&c be.
!, There is place for each life an
you must sooner or later select tn,
for yourself. Without an object
IN life. we are like vessel ready
ar sail without wind. We must blow
the wind ourselves; do our part al
do IL well.
&c Now what is your ideal. In otn
words which place In life are You z
Ing To All? The world would be
great deal better IL each one won
n oil his right place--the place
nm which he Is called
rit We would have more compete
men today " they would have hi
their avn ideals when thaV a..
