show that we must always have a.
definite destination IL we expect to
accomplish anything in life. The need
OF guidance for the larger and bet
ter things of life was pointed out.
Development in individuals re-
quires a long time and much effort,
said Professor Martin. and this is
true of everything that is worth
while. Language, religion and liberty
all required long time to develop.
Constant effort and perseverance
were shown to be important funda-
mentals in the mountain climbing of
life,
Advancement in life is possible for
all, was one OF the statements of
Professor Martin, who called atten-
ton to the fact that 1t is not always
the big fellows who deserve the most
credit for ii is often the man in the
ordinary walks of life who accomp-
fishes the most for his fellowmen
and his country.
