it should be kept from whenever pos
sible. Choose your line of work and
|hen stick to it. Truthfulness was
another virtue recommended. One
should not lie, even to oneself, and II
one Is honest with oneself one will
be honest from habit with others. The
habit of unselfshness was another
virtue recommended to his hearers.
The habit of purity was one of the
greatest virtues and this will lead to
ultimate greatness, and greatness Is
never attained by any EXCEPT the
pure. Faith, Mr.. Magin said, was
dynamic. 1t makes men persistent,
strong and heroic. In closing Mr..
Magin said:
| Faith.
Cultivate the habit of faith. Faith
is the dynamic. 1t makes men strong,
persistent, heroic. 1t is the men of
faith who have done things that were
worth doing. Telemarchus, who Sc
cured the overthrow of the gladiator
ial cOmbats in Rome, was man of
faith. Copernicus, who gave us our
science of heaven. was man of faith.
| Watt and Morse, who gave to COM
MERGE steam and telegraph, were men
CJfaith. Howard, the one who gave
| us organized charity. was man of
faith. Wherefore and Lincoln, who
emancipated the slaves in Britain and
America, were men of faith.
Man at His Best.
Faith is man at his best. Our age
more than any other, needs to hear
that message. Ours is the age of ach-
ievement. Men are doing things in
science and in industry in commerce
and in politics. We are all caught
with the fever of doing things. But
it is not enough to get things done.
They must be done right and they
must be done to stand. Men of today
are so absorbed in doing things that
they lose sight of the sense of d.
rection. The man of faith is the man
who shapes this course by the stars
rather than by the current. Small
minded men regard faith as a. theory.
Large minded men use it as a practi-
cal working power. Faith does much.
1t inspires energy. 1t sustains him
amid difficulties and makes him cour-
ageOus in the presence of discourage
ment Faith is sight, inspiration. The
supreme necessity of life that would
be strong and successful is living
union with the eternal and the story
of Abraham tells us that living union
is obtained through faith.
Addresses Class.
Young friends of the graduating
class: 1t seems to me that l could
not select a more appropriate subject
than the lifelong habits that you need
to form. Cultivate the habits of thor
oughness, purity. truthfulness, unset.
fishness and faith. These include num-
berless minor habits which will nat
urally go with them. You have before
you future which God has placed
most at your own control. The change
of life before you invites your care !
full review of such habits as you have
begun to form. that You may DELHI. |
erately determine which of them to
retain and cherish and which to re.
pudiate. This is the nineteenth an.
niversary of my graduation from the
high school: The motto you have Sc.
lected is the one we used, more Be-
yond." The pupil had finished his |
picture and he asked the master to !
come in and see it. When the teach. !!
er came in he looked at it for few !
minutes, he took from the pupils hand !
the brush, and went up and with one !
stroke of his brush he finished it and !
he wrote beneath the word, "Ampli. |
us,"--something better.
Importance Of Faith.
Several weeks ago we made a trip
to Plymouth, Mass. On the hill just
short distance from the place where
the pilgrims landed is a monument
erected in their remembrance. There
are four wing pedestals and on each
pedestal is seated figure and they
are emblematic of the principles upon
which the pilgrims proposed to found
their commonwealth. The first Is
morality, holding the decalogue in the
left hand and the scroll of Revelation
in her right hand. The second is Law,
on the one side is justice and on the
other mercy. The third is Education,
on the one side of which is wisdom,
ripe with years, and on the other,
youth, led by experience. The fourth
is freedom, on the one side Peace
rests under it's protection and on the
other is tyranny overthrown by pow
ers. Above these four pedes'tals rep
esenting morality, law. education
and freedom, on the main pedestal
stands a figure of faith. One foot
rests upon Forefather's Rock. in her
left hand she holds Bible and with
the right uplifted to heaven. Looking
down to those she seems to be ad-
dressing, she seems to call them to
trust in higher power. Important
as is thoroughness, truthfulness, Writ
uousness, unselfshness, the most i'm
portant is faith in God.
