DIR. Dellas Lore Sharp of Boston, who
spoke at the exercises of Montpelier
seminary Thursday morning. gave Il I
wonderful address for graduating /
class to hear. He demonstrated to the 4
class that it is up to them to make /
good. He spoke upon The Miraculous !
Chance One of his examples was that !
too much attention is paid TO conven- |
tions and that the young people do not /
look after their own interests enough
and do not dare to do what they have /
the right and privilege to do. If the |
old men who are now in the Chicago I
convention to-day had dared to ad-
vance their own interest when young
there would not be the condition that
exists. a convention without a leader,
said the speaker. Instead they have
played the political game just IA il
was supposed TO have been played. I
Had these men stepped out for them
selves when young there would be
leader in the convention. He said most |
all young people lack daring and that
great men have only made themselves
so because they dared to do things out h
Of the ordinary. He urged each TO have
a purpose TO make himself great and
then 20 after that objective. The only II
who do not risk, he said are
those who occupy cemeteries and that
he hoped none OF the present class
would occupy such while living The
world is all upset because there is not
at present man big enough to lead
the nations into the right course. He
urged the graduates not TO follow the
course of caution and convention, but
accomplish something for themselves
that will make them great in the
world 'Iet the world know you are
in III" he said in closing.
