Then he went on to tell how one
morning he stood in his cabin door
watching for the breaking of dawn,
and just as his watch said it was
twelve o'clock noon, he looked across
the Yukon and on a distant mountain
peak caught a CLEAN of sunlight, and
SO filled with delight was he that he
started and ran down the crooked
path, across the frozen river, up the
steep and rugged mountain he climbed
until at last he stood where the sun
had been shining but it was not there
now. On a further and still higher
peak that is eternally covered with
snow his golden eagle was resting, its
plumes folded but as he looked in a
sudden swoop it was gone before the
pursuing night.
How true is this to the story of
life. The members of the graduating
classes who have received their di-
plomas may never reach the summit
where the golden sunlight is shining.
1t is we'll to strive for the better
things and seek to attain the lofty
mountain peaks of life, but they
should never forget that there is a
splendid field for labor on the noun
tain side.
