the city TO him and his work, and
that God will be with you
all the time"
The mayor in part said
And then. as the man develops
his nobler nature, there arises the
desire higher yet-the passion OF
passions, the hope of hopes-the de-
sire that he, even he, may somehow
aid in making life better and bright
er, in destroying want n sin, sor-
row and shame. He masters and
curbs the animal, he turns his back
upon the feast and %renounces the
place Of power; he leaves it to others
to accumulate wealth, TO crafty
pleasant tastes, to bask themselves In
the warm sunshine OF the brief day.
He works for those he never saw
and never can see; for u fame, or
maybe for a scant justice, that can
only come along after the clods have
ratified upon his cofin-lid. He tolls
in the advance whore il is cold, and
there is little cheer from men, and
the stones are sharp and the
brambles thick. Amid the SCOTS OF
the present and the sneers that stab
like knives, he builds for the future,
he cuts the trail that progressive
humanity may hereafter broaden in
to a high road. Into higher, grander
spheres mounts and beckons, and
a star THAI rises in the lIlast leads
him On"
