Of the past & our disposal and our
progress to make"
.sIlhc Song Or LAfe."
Robert Cartons Grafton was THE
Song Of LAfe.'' Every man. he said,
.a.exerts every power OF which ne is
capable In order to achieve his idea
Of happiness, and. fearing that his
mortal existence wilt end before he
can realize his aim, he rushes on with
an energy Of endeavor that would
even crush his fellowman. that would.
destroy while It seeks to create, and
can bring but sorrow and misery
even as 1t strives for happiness" ].
THE Song Of Life" he explained.
~ the eternal harmony existing be-
q realization Of tho existence and
magnitude Of God and to the wonder
and beauty OF nature and all creA-
ton.
List those who have passed the
milestone that marks the nidpoint
of life look back through the time
which has passed. Few. indeed, are
they who do not find revealed great
opportunities which were lost-forever
lost-because there was lacking the
inspiration to seize them, because
there was not present the power to
prompt the awakening Of ambition.
or because there was wanting the
strength Of self-contidence necessary
to. a great undertaking.
However, had the Song OF Life
been the accepted guide, all might
have been changed, and the goal OF
yesterday might have become the
hears the Song Of Life, and knows it
to be what 1t IL. becomes capable Of
great powers. It brings him dreams
and visions where from ambition Ia
arise; 1t arouses the desire to do; and
provides the moral courage to at
tempt and toIscontinue until success
is achieved, and the realizing Of n
bition leads on to happiness"
Sane Manner Of Living.
The Health Of Our Nation was
the subject of Miss RUBY Pederson's
Grafton. She spoke Ct the drafting of
American soldiers for the world war
and the fact that SO many Of the men
were unable to pass q physical exana-
amined, 46s were found to have physi-
cal defects so serious as to make
them unfit for military service.
The health of a people is the gauge
which sets the pace of progress" she
said. intellectual development is
regulated by it. Great minds, though
they may for a short time surmount
physical infirmities, are constantly res
strained and finally subdued II the
body is not able to cope with the de-
mands made upon IT,"
Good health is needed to make in
dustry flourish. she said, and the mill
itary defense is weak without 1t. The
greatest effect of good health, though,
is upon the morale of the nation, she
said. She said that the great scourges
have been conquered by medical sci
ence, and that. therefore. they re not
the dangers confronting the nation.
This is an age of struggle and strife
in the industrial and business world
and men are neglecting their health
to attain. forgetting that a weakened
body reduces their efficiency. America
therefore, needs a more sane manner
of living, she said.
