TIE sCHOoLBOT's HEART
tinue them you must return home.
where l will secure you position az
bookkeeper at your uncles store
Signed TO this eloquent. brief epistle
was the name Of the young mans IA
Their.
Several years have passed since that
crumpIed letter was picked up from
( the door of the college students room
: Several years have passed since an.
aged couple. soon 10 exc out their
need OF existence in a small country
town. have heard news from the son
who would not become a minister.
Several years have passed since d
young college student appeared penni-
less and discouraged in a middle west
ern city and vainly walked the streets
for days subsisting as best he might,
in search Of any kind Of work that
strong hands and arms could perform
So there should be tempered judg-
ment shown. say l. in dwelling on
the present fate OF Jimmy Valentine
when it is considered that he was the
ambitious lad who left the erumpledi
note living on the floor in his bedroom
and set out 10 fight the world single
handed.
That Jimmy should have lost in his
first grapple with life should afford
no reasonable person ground fer re-
preach. Those Of Us who have not
lost as yet quite humanity perhaps in
cline toward comparisons which favor
our own acknowledged virtues. but
at the same time the environment OF
our fellow beings al critical periods in
their lives should always be remem-
bercd when he hnal estimate is made.
Il i human 10 have human emotions
Il Is human TO have inhuman ideas
concerning some Of our fellow men at
various times: but. after all why not
adopt the optimistic philosophy Of jim
my Valentine himselfs For was il
not he who AT the time Frisco Eddie"
bungled the ''iuside job Of a safe
looting expedition in Omaha sought to
soothe the lstter's feelings by saying
sympsthetieally:
Nobody is a failure until he admits
il himself You will never admit
you're failure. Eddie. so cheer up
You. therefore. csn never be one"
Consequently Jimmy Valentine must
be given chance. His doctrine is the
doctrine Of hope Give him chance
to apply il 10 himself and await un-
snd dispsssionstely tbs
result
II he succeeds in making a man Of
himself s man such As his Creator in
tended him 10 be. who is there 10 say
thai his past has anything in il 10
concern 4 critical world: Or who is
there 10 deny 10 Jimmy Valentine his
birthrighi if he should miraculously
redeem it,
But should he fail in the great test
well perhaps no word should just
now be sent regarding him 10 the old
home in the little town. 10 the father
snd the mother who would not under
stand.
