"And lastly, let me give you some
closing suggestions for making the
most of your lives and your opportun-
ties.
"Be optimistic There will be times
when YOU will have to walk by faith
and not by sight. There will come all
kinds of trials and testings. The metal
will have to be tempered thoroughly
before it can be used The painting
on the china has to be burned in be-
fore real service can be made of it.
But the one who can see the inner
side of the cloud where the sun al
ways shines or can see the homeland
Just beyond the storm clouds, he 1T s
who will win out.
"Let nothing discourage you. New
er give up.
years ago, it is said the manager
of Mr.. Blaine in campaign for the
presidential nomination withdrew his
name from the Republican Conven-
ton, without consultation with Mr..
Blaine. The manager wired his can
didate the fact of the withdrawal.
Blaine replied, God Almighty hates
gutter"
And everyone else does also.
Friendship Important
"Be friendly. The great difference
between some people and others is in
friendships. 1t was Charles Kingsley
who when asked the secret of his life
said. 4 had a friend And the way to
have friends is to be friendly.
"Then learn the high art of service.
The old day of selfishness has not
yet passed. The profiteer and the ag-
itator. and the greedy one are still
to be found But new days are COM
ing, when the golden rule and not
the rule of gold will be in order. 1t
is for us to hasten that day by OBJ
serving the royal law ourselves. 1t
isn't what you have in the way of
money or rank, but it is what you
have done that counts.
"a wounded soldier was getting
along as best he could with one leg
gone. A young man of the Stacker
stripe was looking at him, and some
what carelessly remarked. 4 see you
have lost leg
No, was the reply, 4 didn't lose
it. | swapped it for clear conscience.
And the last word is to have your
life properly related to God. With
God, that means God and you in part
nership-all things are possible. The
Master said Apart from me you can
do nothing The sword of the Lord of
Gideon was able to overcome the en-
emy. Link up with God; you can be
strong and do exploits. The way is
clear; the clarion call for service is
sounded; you are needed in the great
cause. Do not be Stacker, but be
hero in the strife"

30 his pocket and took out a purse
to give the man who had saved him
reward. The people naturally expect
ed the reward to be liberal. Much to
their surprise the saved man handed
his rescuer the sum of twenty-five
cents. Of course the crowd was in
dignant. They nearly rushed on the
migrate, but the old negro told them
to hold back. Said he, i am satisfied.

go To College"
''May | add another word concern
.ng being your best? Do not think
ca have finished your education
when YOU have completed this course.
1t is a tragedy to see boys and girls
leaving our schools before graduation
and another tragedy to see those who
graduate stop short of college edu-
cation. There are still two or three
things you graduates haven't learned.
Now | am not going to point them out
to you. Go to college and learn there.
A college education is not luxury.
1t is almost necessity. And the days
are coming, if indeed the day is not
at hand, when it is a necessity. The
great world war was a revelation of
the advantages of college training.
There will of course always be
marked exceptions to this rule as to
every other, but you and | are just
the average people, and we aren't
the exceptions.
''But you must not only prepare
yourself, you must be ready to buy
up the opportunities. There is still

at it's flood leads on to victory. So
many people are always waiting for
something to turn up. Better get busy
and make it turn up. You think you

want you, and then be faithful there.
The old adage is as true today as ev-
er, that there is room at the top.
Use Your Talents

proper use of your gifts is a sure
way for the securing of greater tai

buried the ten talents, had they been
intrusted to him. 1t was not the fact
that he had only one talent that is
the tragedy of the story it is the small
ness OF the man and the meanness of
his soul that is the real tragedy.

to be President Wilson's favorite po-

ga soldier along the battles edge
says, "If l only had the princes

TEXT OF ADDRESS
BY DR.. FORT

Following is the text, in part, of
the address of DIR. Allen Fort be-
fore the graduating class Of the Am
ericus High School last night, his
subject being, Making the Most of
Our Opportunities.
at is to me a real joy to be pres
ent on this occasion and to have the
privilege of speaking especially to
these yonpg people who have, com
pleted the prescribed course OF study
and who this night nave been present
ed with their diplomas.
at does not seem possible that t
has been twenty-five years since the
class of which | was member eX-
, perienced similar sensations to those
in the hearts of these graduates here
tonight. Many of our old class are
present, and we have gone over our
experiences during this score of years
with both JOY and sorrow. A kind
Providence has preserved the llVes
of the fifteen members of the class
of 1898, and those who could not be
present at this occasion in person
have sent their greetings not only to
their classmates but also to the lnstl-
tuition which granted them diplomas
while speaking personal word,
/ cannot refrain from some reference
to the men and women who taught
the pupils graduated in 1898. Most
of the class have left the old home
city and have spent the greater part
of their professional or maturer life
away from Americus. All of us have
had opportunities to observe other
schools and to know other teachers.
| certainly voice the sentiment of our
class when | speak my own, and say
with due deliberation had we the op-
porunity to live over our school days
and to select our teachers, we would
choose those who so faithfully taught
us ard led us in the good old days
gone by.
Make Most of Yourself.
'sBut | am not to speak of the past
but to speak of the imperative ''now"
and the glory of tomorrow.
my theme tonight is Making the
Most of Your Opportunities. In or
der to make the most of your oppor-
tunities, you must of course make the
most of yourself. There is very real
sense in which every one of you is
the architect of his or her destiny.
1t isn't time for one to be decrying
the lack of opportunity, or the fail
ure of the people to appreciate real
talent 1t is for you to be ready
yourself when your time comes, and
then do your best. Determine to-
night that by the help of God you
will be your best.
"The motto of our class comes back
to those of US present tonight with
tremendous force. we can because
we think we can This is not call
for conceit but rather challenge to
stir into flame the talent that is in
you. 1t is a call for a proper esti-
mate of your life, and a challenge to
you to attain that ideal.
A story is told of man who fell
into a river. He was about to go down
to a watery grave, when an old ne
gro, an experienced swimmer swan
to him. and at great risk, brought the
sinking man to the shore, where he
was soon himself again. The people
had gathered on the rivers bank and
saw the heroic rescue. As the man
came to himself and realized what the
negro had done for him he reached in
