THE B E T H A N NUAL : 1931 -♦H ►- Message to the Seniors Wc arc told that when Cecil Rhodes lay on his death bed lie expressed the regret: “So little done; so much to do.” And yet I suppose he had lived as much as several ordinary men, for. ns he said to Queen Victoria, lie had been building a new empire in Africa. Seniors are called by that name because they are older and more advanced than other classes; and yet, as Columbus put it when looking across the sweeping Atlantic: “There is more beyond.” I am sure that each member of the Senior Class feels that comparatively little has been done, and that very much more remains. Of course. That is well. It gives him all the more reason for staying alive and keeping up courage and enthusiasm. What, then, is the great need for a successful issue? The traveler must have a goal; the worker must have a purpose; the human heart must have an ideal. Emerson said: “Hitch your wagon to a star.” Another has said: “Hitch your star to a wagon.” We need to dream dreams, and then wc need to live those dreams. The heart must have light and love and courage, but those qualities must brighten and empower the most ordinary event. What shall the Senior choose as his goal? Life decisions will vary widely. Suffice it to say that every successful life must take into consideration “others.” Ask yourself the question: What can 1 do to touch and brighten other lives most? What is the great human need, and how can I help to fill it? The time for happiness is not the future; it is the present. If you are to be happy, you must be happy now, and the way to be happy now is “to do something for somebody quick.” Enlarge upon that infinitely and you have the life that is Christ. The top of “ten thousand mornings” to the Class of nineteen hundred thirty-one. —H. C. WlNCBLADE.
