describe 1t, so let me resort to the
words of the poet:

describe it, so let me resort to the
words Of the poet:
mot in the world of light alone,
Where God has built His blazing
throne,
With belted seas that come and go.
And endless isles of sunlit green
Is all the Makers glory seen
Look In upon the wondrous frame,
Eternal wisdom, still the same"
AS the Titantic was the strongest
and the most wonderfully built boat
on record, just so does it become the
duty of every individual to develop out
of his structure, the finest specimen.
Each one considers his body worth a
great deal more than any ship, and
it is the owners duty to build I'D a
strong, stately looking, and we'll pro-
portioned physique.
We have allowed the public to as
sumo a part Of this responsibility, and
the question often arises, "How has
this come about?" The same spirit
that impels missionaries to go to the
to assume this responsibility. It is the
unselfish instinct within us, to lift
those of less opportunities in life to
higher plane and feel that wonderful
rec0mpense that comes to each one
OF US, and says when the days work
is done, count that day lost, whose
low descending sun views from thy
hand, no worthy action DONE" In
other words it is the evening prayer,
lived in practical life.

constantly urging us on, just so have
millions and millions of dollars been
spent to dot our wonderful land with
school houses, libraries and colleges.
This Is the constant stream that feeds
the intellect and forces the body on
to greater accomplishments in life.
All this is done in order that the
youth of our land may be properly de-
veloped and equipped for the voyage
OF life. Just as careful guidance and
direction were all that was needed to
make success of the magnificent IT.
tantic, just so is careful guidance
needed to make q success of the hu-
man ship that sails across the sea of
life.
Let US again see what the public
has done for us. Our education no

ton, but we find all over our land it is
developing along practical lines. We
have q chance to study agriculture,
manual training and domestic science
In our high schools. It made q great
deal of difference in the kind Of an
engine the boat had, and just so the
public saw it made great deal of
difference in the kind Of an education
we receive. Great care must be taken
in the choice. My class mates and I
realize that we stand this evening, on
one of the most critical Drinks in life.
We are on the eve of graduation, and
thoughtfully realize that we are ready
to plunge into the battle Of life. It is
of vital Importance that we select the
right course, and also see that there
are no weak spots In our structure,
otherwise our whole life may prove
disappointment. There are icebergs
everywhere on the sea of life to test
our weaknesses. ~--
The great Titantic was incomplete

Just SO b our structure incomplete II
It has only q strong physique and an

q pilot to guide It, we need the same
thing 70 guide us.
