and keep the interest and good will
of the audience, he gave TO the class
and the people one of the best ad-
dresses ever given to all audience
In River Falls. Among other
things, he emphasized TO the class
the need of having firm convictions
on something, of believing me
thing SO firmly as to make it the
guiding principle OF ones life; of
the wisdom the necessity of behev-
in the moral rectitude and sta
bility of the individual and of the
race, decrying the idea that every

law of growth is upward, not do wn-

are to be congratulated on the op-

to the class, reminding them that

that there is no honor that is not
within the reach of him who sets
out to get it and who sticks and
never quits.
