sleep. All these things. Rev. Welch o.
serts, indicate civilization. New thias
come but they do not solve the p!t
problems.
1t isn't the matter Of how mucl
work we can accomplish during nf'
but the choosing of the proper vocation
from the training that Goddard nd;
!. given its graduates, Mr.. Welch IN
formed lis congregation. There are BOZ
things which boy or girl may do. Tif
most important thing is to choose. The
idealism Of higher civilization is that
I'VE shall not live without attempting
4 to produce. If we do not produce we
are no more than common parasite.
In choosing, Mr. Welch explain a
bere are two things to consider, first,
yourself, and secondly, other peoDle.
Most of the young people, in choosing
their vocation, look on the financial
side OF it entirely. Many young men
decide to become doctors, lawyers, ous.
mess men or, possibly, ministers, 5.-
cause there is good salary in any Of
these positions. Many young men
abandon one thing after another md
| finally decide on doing what they rell-
ly do not like
Several years ago, Mr. Welch said,
q young man came to him and ask ID
him to recommend him to Goddard and
one day, after everything had been ar
ranged for his entering the insti.i-
ton, Mr. Welch met him on the strect
and asked him if he was still planning
on going to school The young man
4 Il ttx. tn1 hat la a4tI
changed his mind about going to school
and was going in the vulcanizing bust
ness. Sometime later Mr.. Welch again
met this young man on the street and
asked him how his vulcanizing business
was coming along and he again huf
riedly replied that he had forgotten all
about that thing and was going %
start market garden Mr.. Welch stat
ed that the last he heard Of the young
man he was working in a factory six
DAYS a week
In telling this story, Mr. Welchi
pointed out to the students that this
young man chose his vocation on extcf
nal evidence, not On eternal evidence
and If the boys and girls of to-day arc
planning to accomplish something n
thi, world they must choose correctly
or forever become wanderer. In or
der to gain success. Rev. Welch IN
formed his congregation that one mIst
abide BY his own desire to be a pro |
dncer and not parasite and resolve
TO be honest to yourself
In considering men who have amassed |
fortunes during a lifetime, Mr.. Weleh /
claimed that these men started on one /
thing and worked it to perfection and I
that il how they gained success They I
did not kill time but tried to make
time. In thinking of these men We
should consider not what they are now
but what they were and what they
have accomplished during lifetime
Mr.. Welch. in order to illustrate his
thought gave a short sketch Of the life
Of Thomas Edison. Edison. Mr.. Weieh
gained success by his hard
work When but young man he sod
papers on an express train. After earn.
ing enough money to buy chemical ap-
paratus he hired another boy 10 sell
papers fer him while he worked with
his chemicals The conductor of the
ain allowed Edison to work in q
spare baggage car. One day as a re-
iult Of a sudden stop the jolt of the HaT ,
brought some hydrochloric acid in on !
act with another acid and set fire 20 !
he ear. Edison was thrown off at he :
iext station bag and baggage. He ~ !
nediately secured work as n telegraph /,
,perator at this station and continued !
With his experiments. Rev. Weloa I
,ointed out that Edison found his life's !
work when he was thrown off the tram. :
Rev. Welch also told the story of the
world famous violinist pagginni. Fol :
ewing concert in London at one tins. a
n elderly lady approached this great {
musician and stated that she would
i've half her life il she could play like I
e did Pagginni replied that that's y
that he had given in order 10 attain h
uccess. He had practiced from five TO t
en- hours every day that he might play
il instrument perfectly. I
IN considering other people Roy. r
Velch explained that a certain young a
ian in New York state, after attend A
Y medical school, came home aud n
iarted practice. In little while it
AS discovered that he was surgeon {,
