Lord Ps- 26:17-
We are more than persuaded that
as a people we have not commenced
to think. If our observations are
true, the world is "short" on imagi-
nation 1t seems to me a course in
imagination should have a place IN
the college curriculum.
When you hear a man everlasting
ly talking about impossibilities, max
ing suggestions of doubt, and look
ing upon any undertaking of chang
ing progress as a direful undertaking,
put him down as a gutter. The word
impossibililty should not be found in
dIly "OIhdD1S NOCdOOAoAJ'
If you will notice you will find
that the steady worker never COM

do not know the difference between
good luck" and the German measles.
When a man is doing his '.'dead le-
vel best" he finds the world on the
level. 1t is the fellow who is want
ing something for nothing that is pro-
testing against the game rules.
It is always disgusting to brag
about your ''free passes" your
''stand ins'' and your knowing 'tips."
Men who use them are weaklings,
towards, or feel they are not able to
meet the conditions of the worlds
competition.
You may put it down that the
great things of the world are not for
the doubters. Sometime amid the
ruins of an ancient land the spade
will unearth a temple sacred to Sue
cess and there will be found, high
over a portal arch these words in
scribed: Human Will"
The people who are always seeking
the easy problems; who are not will
ling to put forth terrific effort, are
little men. All real treasures, you
know are rock bound, and you must
blast and dig to obtain.
Men who invent romances of the
future oft-times become the indus
| trial promoters. Around the World
in Eighty Days" was one day fc-
book shelf today.
A man is great who sees well into
the future though he may never see
his dreams realized. Franklin died
long before one practical thing was
done with electricity, yet he is clas-
sed as one of the worlds electricians.
Is it not strange that we are still
anxious to decry what we cannot per
sonally descry? Ignorance you know
always mulcts the benefactors Of
the race. If you want to help human
| ity, remember you will have to pay
well for the desire. Humanity in
general does not want to be helped
Its cry is ''let US alone"
The great things have come to the
race through suffering. It seems the
most of US weave in shadows.
It will soon be we will get
more for the hours spent in produc
ing any given commodity than in
any given period of past time. We
believe one of the blessings that vii

The only thing that will ever saw,

When Garibaldi was raising an ar
