Enthusiasm gives bi.th TO hope. stimu-
lates courage. and eventuates success.
Enthusiasm unites desire with purpose,
ultimating I'm victory
Enthusiasm is the oratory Of speech
the earncstness Of language, and the evil
dence Of sincerity.
Without enthusiasm the words OF the
most learned statesman fail upon ears
that hear not and the most elaborate pen
pictures Of the illustrator fall upon eyes
that see not the reproduction.
Enthusiasm regenerates failing human
organisms. reconstructs wasting energy.
and rejuyenates the aged. II IS the slim
ulus Of ambition the hope Of the dis
cOuraged. the keynote Of the musician.
and the fuldnment Of the promise Of
eternal life
1t is the electric dynamo that propels
All effort and Iightens the path Of every
earth traveller. Let us
BE IN earnest En- all we DO,
Enthuse in each purposeful deed,
Then viii our work. faithful and true,
Supply every waiting need.
