 You will meet difficulties but you need have no fear of them. They arc our helpers Many people owe their success to some unforc- seen problem that at first sight seemed to spell detouL but in the struggle 10 overcome 1t their finest abilities were brought out,
 "Fhe tact that difficulties are our teachers was revealed to me in a new way last spring when my church prcm ntod me with an automobile. I could handle the car ont on the country roads, but the moment ] got in the center of busy street, where lhc traffic was ConGestcd, ] stalled my engine. To become a skillml driver 1 found it necessary to ire quont the public highway where cars came from all directions. Difficult ties challenge us, and challenge stimulates action.
 "FVrry one 10 be success in life must be worker When men riso to greater eminence than others, it is usually by dint of hard work, 1t is because they have perseverance. The spring which issues from the mountain rock as brook, by the accumulation of streamlcts becomes wvnlot, then a rolling river and eventually part of the tathomless ocean, simply by pushing steadily and persistontly onward. Work is the price to be paid for all things that are valuable; nothing can be won without it, Plato died with 1 pen in hand. Michael Angelo was q prodigious worker, often rising in the middle of the night to resume his labor. Webster said: I have worked for more than 12 hours q { day for 5O years on an average. , Civilization as We have it is for the most part the result of past IabOrs, . each generation adds its contribu- ton 10 what it receives.
 i But our efforts must be unscl- 1 fish. Not by self-seeking. but by solf-sacritice. not by locating youI supreme good in outer things but in inner worth do men achieve.
 What is good man or d goo woman? What makes a good citi. . ztn today? You may judge of ar era by it's definition of goodness. IT the middle ages good man was typified as standing on his pillar il the scor2hing heat of summer, draw ing up by a cord the food the people brought him as they stood at tho base of the pillar adoring the gool man. No one of Us accepts tha conception of good man today ! Always remember th3t character Is destiny. It is righteousness tha eHalteth a nation. What your char actcr 4s 10 he in the future depend upon the habits that you ncquir' now in the formative period Of you lives. Be careful how you carv' your name. Coming back to hi hoyhood town a man determined f, walk out 10 the patch of wood where he had played with his com rades. and what was his surprise |
 sec his own initials in very larg
 letters staring him in the fac,
 were small, but now with th
 growth of the tree they had hecom
 large and conspicuous. And so
 urge you 10 he very careful that th
 mistakes of youth may not loon large in the future"
