VIRTUE THE HOPE or THE RACE
Continued from last week
VII. The Hope Of the Race

Now in spite Of the unpleasant
things have been saying you must
all remember that there Is more
virtue in the world than vice; there
are many more good people than
bad ones; there are are more noble
young men than rakes; there are
many more people who want 10 live
pure lives and who do live pure
lives than there are who fall. The
standards Of morals in most COM
muniiies ! know does not favor the
young man who sows his wild oats.
There will always be enough Of
good people in the world 10 keep
the reprobaies from getting the up
per hand. Herein lies hope. The
best nature within us all revOlts
AT The irregular lif6. Nature always
rcvolts nj what is harmful. There
is always enough of the best in men
and women to tide them over temp
tatiOn II they will only listen to
what the best has To say. When
men lose the grip on themselves,
when the uplifting influence that
comes from the love Of whole
some woman is lacking, there is
serious danger ahead.
These things are the anchor that
hold the human race steady. Hon
esty, virtue. neighborliness. purity
of life and thought all help to make
that anchor sure. Our faith in hL-
mainly can never be destroyed be-
cause We know too many people
who live righteous lives.
Now concerning the happiness
that comes in welded love these
factors are important; hope in the
Joys Of the future. faith in God and
mankind. and pure living; and not
the least Of these is pure living.
