nor whine, but quit themselves like
men," Officers of the association,
there is no need to feel absolutely
cast down because this undertaking
to which you gave your time and
money from your small means did not
succeed. Nor should we desert the
field of broad endeavor because we
were defeated in the first skirmish.
Have the great in stitutions and sue
cessful undertakings that we now be-
hold flourishing, been founded and
built upon continuous success? Or do
their histories show reverses and
years of struggle to turn defeat into
victory? Ladies and Gentlemen, l
take for granted that our action in
this crisis will prove whether we are
men of metal or not. We cannot in
justice to ourselves or the cause de-
sert this fight. We may need to halt,
reform our broken lines, fortify our
position, hold a council of war and
then attack or besiege the enemy as
wisdom may suggest. 1 have just
been sketching the life of a courage
Gus man who undertook great things
and who in the light of contempora-
neous men endured foolhardy trials.
Who spent years of his best endeavor
against seemingly insurmmountable
odds, who sacrificed friends and cul-
ture. and money, and home, and wife,
and children, and even life itself that
he might fulfill his great mission,
man whose struggles were prodigious,
whose courage was indomitable.
The result of it all was that the
world was given knowledge of great
unexplored continent, the way was
blazed for the onward march of civ
llization and Christianity, a people
who knew not God nor civilization
got a glimpse of the immensity of
creation and the Creator, and we in
our day almost revere the name of
David Livingston. The worlo is full
of examples of how great move
ments have suffered defeat and even
scorn by those for whom they were
undertaken but wisdom, bought
oftimes from dear experience, and
courage to try again have overcome
and triumphed. shall WE fight
against our discouragements or shall
we quit? I for one am willing to try
again and to the best of my ability
endeavor to accomplish something in
this line or at least to lay founda.
