cation. If a promise is made live
up to it. This makes the other
fellow depend upon us. Let US
form this habit to Gown up, pay
up and shut up" Let us learn
the lesson of humility, for by hu-
mility and the fear of the Lord |
are riches, honor and life. We
must be upright and unselfish and
learn the joy of service. Public
service is the real object of life.
Reliability, thoroughness and
conscientious effort will win pro-

Let another step toward our
Higher Education be persever-

are not wanting. There is no
true wisdom without patience and
perseverance. Much rain will
wear away stone, ard victory be-
longs. to the most persevering.
When a thing is to be done we
must keep pounding and see who
can pound the longest.
Nothing is impossible to him
who wills. The nerve that never
relaxes, the eye that never blench-

patience.
Let us read good books. The

are true friends. Good books are

shine and refreshing rain of
spring are to the seeds which
have lain dormant in the frosts
of winter.
Next we want a conscience
, about all we do. The unknown is
an ocean. What is conscience -?
The compass of the unknown. Con-

! soul, the soft whispers of the God
in man, Conscience is the senti-

! science is continual Christmas
the best looking glass of Heaven
@ Conscience is compass and life

o Conscience the voyage is most
r dangerous one. Let us labor tc
n keep alive in our breast that
o little spark of celestial fire called
: Conscience.
