| 2. Self-respect can be acquired by
living upright and enjoyable lives.
Here you notice / place uprightness
before enjoyableness and there is a mo-
tive in it, The only way to enjoy life
really and truly is by living uprightly,
clearly and hohorably. When man
! has become Sray-haired in a life Of
uprightness and usefulness we speak Of
him as having an honorable old age,
| but / see no better and surer way of
arriving at an honorable old age than
| by living an honorable youth. The the-
CRY that youth is the time to SOW
wild oats so that one may settle and
sober down later in life is born of base
ignorance. Must every child have
certain round of diseases, mumps.
measles. scarlet fever, smallpox-to as
sure its freedom from these diseases
later in life9 BY no means. The science
and skill of medicine is now assuring
us that these seourges are not any
longer necessary. Why, then, should
the spiritual and moral life be de-
ranged and drained by excuses and
follies i'll riotous and prodigal living
The path of the just lead more and
more unto the shining day of happi-
ness in their life If YOU would be hap
by day by day and store up happiness
for the days to come follow the die
tation of your highest reason and best
conscience in the days of your youth
Mr.. Evans used many interesting
and impressive illustrations to press
home the truths of his sermon In
direct speaking to the graduating
class he said
1t is a pleasure for me to have YOU
here this evening While ] have not
preached this sermon directly al YOU

~ appropriate to you, as you say
good bye to Your High school days
Some of you, no doubt, will enter col
lege and prepare yourselves in full
er manner for your life's work. 9th
ers, perhaps, may enter upon some
employment Immediately. But what
ever YOU do / desire YOU to be intel
ligent. useful upright and happy and
through these mediums find full and
free expression for your noblest
selves.
