 That good man was Christ. His tempter, Satan
 The very successful life has but three mountains. The first one is the one on whose summit you stand this evening. It's name is the beginning. If you are very fortunate. the next one you will ascend will be the zenith of effort and the third and last one the sepulcher of achievement
 In between these mountains, the dells. valleys and dales are beautiful to the eye. The trickling waters of hope, in unison with the whispers of the flowers of desire, combined with the Odors of the jasmine daffodil and lilies of the valley of yearning brew narcotic known only to Natures alchemist and millions there be who go down before the first swing of the ark or incense
 From this summit Of the mount of beginning. this evening the view is magnificent, and the incense waited tu us on the sweet spring winds of hope are full of peace and happiness. Cruel indeed must the one be to caution you this evening, that as ever. and until the commencement of eternity will be- the tempeteT is with us-and his name is ambition.

 Young women. do not forget yours is the sacred heritage of replenishing the greatest race with which Gods ere ation has adorned the pages of his ! tory. The white man has attained his present eminence by physical might liberally sprinkled with mental might but his weapon has been the bludgeon. not the rapier. Different conditions are now confronting him Note his ' unrest. Today as a race, he as yet does not appreciate the fray now upon him. Soon he win be called upon to marshal all his forces in mortal com baJ with a cunning and economy for 1 eign to his training and his nature. 1 The women who must win for their race in the future as in the past. are the good wives and mothers.
