TIME OF OPPORTUNITIES.

Difficulties are the strong mans friends;
dull times are the courageous mans foot
hold. The old line says, "Wit's milestone,
Want, then made US quickly learn" There
is in this day, rough as is the years expert
ence of short crops little experience of grim
Want Science, labor, zeal and capital
have perfected improvements which pro-
duce commodities at ready prices and lay
them down anywhere. Famine and cold
are too far away to brighten. 1t is only a
difficulties which our people confront.
Difficulties which are not even intractable,
much less impossible, will stimulate the
vigorous man to throw back his shoulders
and laugh with the anticipation of con-
quering conflict. He who looks into the
truth will remember the old Latin writer's
wise instruction which begins "mollis
illa''-That tender education which we call
kindness destroys vigor of mind and body"
Virile spirits and keen minds will fasten
themselves with unshakable grip on the
moving forces of events, knowing that
when the slow movement changes to fast
they will be carried so far that the golden
fields of attainment will be theirs to possess
at will and at ease. "A wise man will
make more opportunities than he finds.' -
He will look upon the dull period as his
richest chance to choose his share of the
best the earth affords. A greater period
of prosperity than the country or the world
ever witnessed will soon be pouring out
riches. Scientific inquiry is not stagnant.
The perfection of processes is in higher
activity than it was during apparent pros
perity. The demands for capable men are
more pressing. In these times there is
"a tongue in every star that talks with man
And woos him to be WISE"
He listens to the stars which tell of the
future and turns to grasp every opportuni-
ty, his instructed intellect filled with the
inspiration of the splendor of the success
sure and not far away. There is nothing
even sentimentally attractive about the
weakling's soft lament
"And of my song what memory
Will stay behind?
An echo like passing thought
Upon the wind
Silence, forgetfulness and rust,
Lutte, are for thee;
And such my lot; neglect, the grave,
These are for me.''
He has no time to waste in bitter patience
Rushes of prosperity are occasions when
small things are done for small people
An interlude of adversely is the choice
hour when big men do big things fol-
themselves. Aformer Governor of a State
