upon the. people of his day. Dedica-
ton of self to service in a chosen field
has won recognition expressed in va
rious forms. Many institutions bear
the name of Pasteur, whose cure for
hydrophobia brought great blessing
to humanity. The name of. Lister. an
English surgeon, has been signally
honored for his discovery of antisep-
tics in surgery. The world owes a
great debt of gratitude to Wilfred 7.
Grenfell, the medical missionary, for
his wonderful work in Labrador. The
self-sacrificing service of men and.
women who gave their lives for a
great cause is today memorialized by
chairs in universities and colleges all
over our land. To many others yari-
Gus types of memorials have been
erected.
A journey to the top of Mount
Mitchell convinces one of the difficult
task the early explorers must have
had before the trails were made which
now serve as safe guide to the in
terested mountain climber. It is a
long journey to the top, about IS miles
from the base. Ascent is permitted
only up to the noon hour and descent
is allowed after 2 80 p. m. The ono
way road is thus kept reasonably safe
for travel. From the top of the noun
lain one can view for miles the beau
ties o; North Carolina. (The writer
had this privilege, wearing an over
coat, while elsewhere it was the hot
test days in June.)

by hand to the last resting place at the
