tory record Of wrong and of op-
preston of their fellow men have
left equally as CONSPICUOUS examples
for you to avoid. The literature
of the world is yours. The pro-
verbs of Solomon, the psalms of
David, the Sermon on the Mount
are yours. The philosophy of Plato
and Epectitus, the song of Homer
and the poetry of Dante and Shake
speare are yours. The painting
the sculpture and the architecture
that made Greece and Rome Gen.

of the world are all yours. The
oratory of Demosthenes. and Cic-
ero, of Burke and of Henry, Of
Webster and of Clay, of Becher
and of Calhoun are still ringing
in the corridors of time, and it is
for you but to stop and listen. The
discoveries of Gallileo. of Newton,
of Franklin, of Fardy, of Morton.
of Pasteur, and all the great train
that have followed them are yours.

hens, of Whitney, of Hoe, of Good
year, Of Kelly, of Bell, uf Howe. of
Mccormack, of Westinghouse, of
Edison. of Marconi and of innumer-
able others, all of whom toiled and
some of whom starved that the
world might have the benefit Of
their labor and genius, are yours.
All the knowledge, gathered
through all the centuries, of the
stars. the planets and the great
solar systems in which the earth
upon which we live moves in it's
regular orbit as mere speck in
the vast incomprehensible universe,
is yours. You may measure the
distance to and determine the com
position of worlds beyond the sight
of the unaided human eye. Tis
yours but to read the geological
history of this, the earth upon
which we live, which others have
