There are two things that grow
strong in the heart Of man as he
advances in years; the love OF his
country and his religion. two prime
factors in the development of ten
acity. Let them be ever so much
forgotten in youth, they sooner or
later present themselves to us, ar.
ranged in all their charms and ex-s
cite in the recesses of our hearts an
attachment, justly due to their beau

acity of these "reminiscences tfIat cur
rent events bring to the surface and
are never lost sight of. There seems
to be providential provision, to
bring about results, but We must

variety of faith so prevalent today
but the good, strong ever-abiding
faith handed down to us through
the ages past. Tenacity and faith
are closely related They increase
confidence. We live by faith, we
die by faith. 1t has crushed men, it
has lifted men up and results de-

Tenucity and faith, when properly
applied, can not be warped by ca
lamity nor shaken by defeat. Ten
acity may be formed into habit
and become part of the man, but if
but habit it is an excellent one. 1t
may be an hereditary gift of a mans

tenacity to control you along the
line of indolence Do not be obstl-
na,e, when you are right and you
know it. Then let our friend tenac-

tenacity of purpose that prompted

There are different ranks and Or
ders of mankind, each one taking
his own view as to right and wrong,
each making use of tenacity to sup.
port his views. They are like lot
of streams of running water, all pro-
ceed from an original source; some
spread wider, travel over more coun-
try and make moEe noise in their
passage than Others, but all tend
alike to an ocean where distinction
ceases and where the largest and
most celebrated rivers are equally
lost and absorbed with the smallest
and unknown streams.
And death, the great leveler OF us
all, knows no distinction. Do nO'
make the mistak and think that OBJ
}. stinacy is tenacity. While it has its
place, it is dangerous weapon ol
defense in the hands of a pessimist
anarchist or fool. They will use II
