| "CnrlStN1n the human heart is the
secret of individual power; Christ is.
| the social order is the secret of a ma
tons strength" said Raymond Ro-
bins, the social service expert, in an
address given this morning before the
ertire student body Of the Kamehame-
la Schools. Drawing upon the expert.
eDces Of his own life,. Mr.. Robins
/ pointed tout the main things witch
MIKE the lives Of young men and wo-
men successful.
/ Following q song service by the
! school, Principal Perley L. Horne irs
| troduced the speaker, who began his
address with brief history Of his own
lite including. many of his experiences
in Alaska during the time of the gold
rush thirteen years ago. He told of
the mad rush to the gold fields and
i how the prospectors were forced to
| travel over the hills for forty miles
IN the teeth of many freezing gale
before they finally reached their des-
tiaation. Out of the 1000 people who
started in that mad rush, he said, only
1880 crossed the summit of that win
ter and he explained this by saying
! that It was the things. that we're on
. the inside of a man that were greater
than the things which were on the
outside. This, he said. was learned on
, the trail; that it was the nerve and
courage on. the inside of man that
vas greater than all" be muscle and
Strength on the outside.
This applies to the life of today; to
the lives of you young men and wo-
men who will go out into the world
after you finish your school here" he
said. 'sThefe are some among you
who are slow, and then there are 9TH
ers who are bright and quick to learn.
Rut you will find out that 1t will he
the slow, ones who will push ahead Of
the smart ones IN years to come.
Some people think that they can DO
ali their work alone On the trail in
the north the man who worked alone
without the help OF his fellow men.

rhine, and when we Travelled on the
trail we went in line of five or six.
We stood together for protection, and
there was always one man in the ;b'e
Who was a little slower than the rest,
and the line could not move faster
than this one man could This applies
to you for 1t is your duty to get III

him along"
las on the football or the baseball
field, you must learn the law of team
play and cooperation. 1t is going to |
be one of the biggest factors In your |
lives. l think of you as the old guard |
of the Hawaiian race. Out OF the |
ranks of the boys and girls in this |
great school are to come the men and |
women who will be a credit to the |
Hawaiian race You are the hope or I
your people, and / have never talked /
to group of young men and young
women who seemed to me to have a
larger work to accomplish. All the /
other races in Hawaii are but so
joHrners in a strange land, but you
are in your native land, and you are
going to carry the traditions OF your
people in all that is best and strong
through the coming years. You will
make the name of your people one
of honor, one that says that from the
race of Hawaii there will come forth
strong sons and daughters who will
carry on the worlds work and make
greater Hawaii l believe this; you
live in a great age, and never before
have you had more power or greater
than you have now. 4
How are you going to be the
masters of your destiny? BY having
a strong physique and good, red
blood Yes; but that is not the test
of your lives. l covet for you a good
mind, one that will take a grasp on
life so that you may take hold of the
problems of life and think them out
for yourselves. Still, this will not be
the best thing in your lives. What
is going to be the final test 1t is go
ing to be the hidden purpose in your
lives; the character of your moral
purpose of spiritual vision that will
determine your success in life. Have
a personal fellowship with Jesus
Christ so that you may be able to
walk and talk with him in the time OF
danger or struggle. If it were in my
power to give you the greatest gift
that man has or will ever have, |
