lyn L. Brown made very interesting
address to the fellows before they left

The speaker emphasized the follow
ing points; That every man should
choose the right fear1essly and stick
to it against all opposition. We live
in world of law, and we cannot break
this law without suffering the penalty
Roosevelt said he would do anything
IN his power for the laboring man-ex-
cept that which was wrong: he chose
the right fearleSsly and determined to
stick flo it. We should be very care
full of our mental and moral habits
the good mental an drnoral habits con-
sist of thrift, cordially. industry, in
tegriiy and clean living; and the bad
mental and moral habits consist of
waste, crouch, laziness, dishonesty.
and impurity 1t win pay any man
to throw his life into the hilt on the
side Of righteousness and by do
ing this results will surely come: but
what OF the man who makes wrong
choices and is crushed by bad hibits
he will be simply reaping what he has
soWn, and it takes a subteranean con-
vuision to turn a stream from its bed
Jesus is the only power that can over
turn the natural law of habit You
can rest assured that Jesus Christ will
see TO it that your life is successful in
the highest sense of the term.
