UT Of the mist which shrouds the future there appears to
everyone a shining star, an ambition. a goal Of achieve
ment- And from the time it first glimmers across the
horizon Of ones consciousness a light appears that gradually
dlssemlnates the mist Contemplating this star a pathway seems
to open toward it, inviting one to climb on towards that heavenly
realm where the hearts desire is gratfied. Perhaps that goal is
to achieve the admiration Of a loved one, a beautiful girl as a
mate, or again il may be 10 triumph in an ambitious piece OF
work; something that seems impossible, beyond realization. Yet
the star guides you on, leads you past the dangerous passes where
Encouragement all but overcomes you. Nearer and nearer it
comes, and surely if you keep your eyes always on that guiding
star the zenith Of ambition may be attained.
