hero, the Christian hero, is not melted
bv any such deeds of daring. The
arena on which he acts is not that of
strife, but Of suffering and self-sacri-
fee. No earthly stars glitter on MS
breast, no triumphal banners wave
over his head. But better, far better
than this, there flows through his
veins "The milk of human Kindness"
And when he falls, as he often does,
in the performance OF his duty, he re-
ceives no handsome statue to mark
his resting place, but only the silent
dripping of tears over his grave. But
man is not made for fame, or glory,
or success: he is made, for something
higher and nobler than the world can
give. While the soldier, the money
king may receive the praise and ap-
plause of men, the true hero, the
Christian hero at death will receive
crown of rejoicing and will be num-
bered among the crowned hosts of the
golden streeted city.
Goodbye, and with that We wish you
God speed in the world. May you be
able to rightly answer the call of hu-
manity, and build your structure of
life upon a firm rock. May you run
with patience the race set before you.
When you have fought your last fight
and won your last victory, and are
placed for the last time upon your
couch, then may your guardian angel
hover over you, and your mother in
that far off land whisper in accents
sweet and low, shall say: children
and members of class OF 1911, lay
aside cares of life, mothers welcome
you home to heaven"
