CALLING OUT OUR
RESERVES OF ENERGY
Past Accomplishment Is a False
Measure of Our Possibilities--It'
Never Too Late to Succeed-The
Habit of Trusting Oneself.
BY JOSEPH II. oDELL

leEcs i'm the fields factories. Offices and shops
Of America, capable of the very highest
achievement able to do things great anc
valuable as any that have already been done
but who cannot bring themselves to launch
out on their own account. The writer was
once fishing for trout in a river flowing
through a sparsey populated country. Hc
. and his companion were suddenly stopped
by waterfall having drop Of about so feet
one of the sportsmen said, What shame
this river is LOST" Lost" echoed the other
i'm tone of surpriso Lost! How can the
river he lost? II Is right here now and has
! been here for ages" YES" responded tho
/ first speaker but It is lost because it is not
/ being utilized There is enough power run
! ming to waste over these falls to make a con-
siderable Industrial city"
Multitudes Of men are lost to themselves
and lost to the advancing interests of Civili-
zation by failing to usc themselves to their
FUN advantage. They are doing little things
when they might be doing great things; they
arc letting forces run to waste which arc SUI
prcmely valuable. and by which they could
accomplish astounding results They need TO
do some prospecting among their own pow
crs and then, when the assay turns out to he
high, they need tho courage to work the
vein
