spirit of altruism be the inspiration | of every act there are many phases of i life other than that of the active | worker in philanthrophy which must | be entered into each day which arc | parts of life's economy, for which your 1 training has been fitting you ever since | your baby lips began to prattle. To | woman, for the most part, are trusted | the inner and spiritual side of life, she | must ever stand for the good the true | and the beautiful, whether as society | woman or a daily worker, the mistress of the home or the mistress of the |
 school, she must ever foster all thai
 is noble aesthetic and regned. To even
 glance down the vistas of usefulness and happiness that open before women
 today would take more time than l
 could give to recount or than you
 could give to listen, but the point
 which I again reiterate and which l
 wish to impress is that you choose now
 what you will serve, and with this
 purpose before you give your service,
 whole heartedly, and whether you ob-
 tain the goal or not, your life will
 have been worth while; for in the et-
 fort towards what is higher and best
 you will have been rounded into fu.-
 ness and beauty.
 certain great preacher, in this very
 community, in speaking of the whers-
 abouts of Heaven said (and do most
 heartily agree with him) that when
 the creatures of the earth succeed H.
 casting aside self, and become abso- lutely altruistic beings, then the earth
 wlll be Heaven, for Heaven is a con-
 dition and not place." So that which
 l have been urging you to do, young ladies, is to gain Heaven for your
 selves and to give it to others. The Young Mems Hebrew associa-
