"The best educated man is the
one who is organized for success.
We have come to day when an
education is a personal duty and
every person is bound to make
the best of himself. No person can
be dwarf physically, mentally
or morally, and with all three any
one can be a giant" said DR..
Ernest Wray O'Neal in his ad-
dress at the Chautauqua.
The speaker laid special empha-

cal development, saying that the
much larger per cent of the great
men and geniuses have been those

great purpose, but he said that

Of Lincoln was a failure for he

sink an axe deeper into a rail than
any man in his part of the coun,

he did stands alone among the
great men of the nation.
demonstrating the word fal'
lacy the speaker took his hearer,
into Egypt and told the custom OF
the people to preserve the bodies
of their dead. "Ramesis did mo-
care to have his name engraved
on the tablets of fame, but was
very emphatic that his body b,
preserved, a fallacy to care wha-
became of the body after the de
parture of the spirit" he said.
