The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1914-06-05


in billowing harvest fields. Every nam,
in history that glows with glory repre-
sents worker. Paul won for himsel
Immortality because he worked as he
thought.
The winner must be doer of some
one thing. He must be specialist.
Dare to be crank. 1t is the crank
that makes the automobile hum and a
world of men think. A few men can
be masters in many fields, but they are
as few as angels visits. Most OF US are
too thin to spread out over wide ranges.
The price OF life's crown is concentra-
ton. Remember,
He who seeks one thing tn life and but one
May hope TO attain 1t ere life be done;
But he who seeks all things wherever he goes
Must reap from the hopes which around him he
sows
A harvest of barren regrets
Whatever you attempt to do bear
in mind that God has made you the
master of your own destiny. You can
do anything you wish to do If it is
right. Not upon any other OF His crea-
lures did Deity bestow such power. In
this fact is our human glory and our
peril. This world is not finished.
There are yet sweeter songs to be sung
than any poet has conceived. There
are greater inventions to be discovered,
greater sermons and orations than have
yet been delivered. The worlds great
est picture is yet to be painted. There
are other worlds which await conquer
ing. Alexander was as good as dead
when he wept for other worlds to mas
ter. Every man expires with his task.
Each Of you can therefore choose his
field and make his mark.
You are master Of destiny because
you are made like God. Every man is
intended to be creator and to his end
the vast forces Of the universe are placed
at his hand. Not only are the materials
yours but the tools have been made and
the handles have been put within your
reach. Every person is building on
foundations already laid We stand to-
day on the sunlit heights created by our
fathers. God and humanity expect
more Of you young people who are
starting in life now than was ever ex-
pected of any generation.
In order to do the noblest things
in life you must seek the highest prize.
There are so many things which you
can do. There are thousand different
roads open to your feet. Each OF you
can be any one Of a thousand different
kinds Of men and women. You can be
a man or mouse. II you so desire
you can be a social leader and dwell
within the enchanted circle of the four
hundred. But when you have snatched
this prize you will have but little. A
poor goal this, for such young people
as yourselves. You may become mas
ters of finance but every day you live
you will see that the dollar is by no
means almighty. You will find that
there are hundreds Of things more val
liable than money. You may become
masters in the world Of thought. This
is a prize to be coveted. But that mind
however developed, which has not God
as its center and circumference, is an
empty void.
Whatever you seek to do, pursue
your aim with unfaltering step. It is
great thing to begin good work, but
better a thousand times its completion.
It is beautiful thing to see you as in
The bloom of young manhood and wo-
you approach your gradua-
ton. 1t will be more beautiful to see
you as you near the other and greater
graduation or passing to the University |
across the River, il you come with con-
fident step and blameless life. Seek |
hose things above where Christ is,
seated on the right hand of God. ,"
