There is another element that he would have me point out to you, and that is the aim must he high, and above all, unselfish. A man with his talents and intelligence surveying the field of life’s endeavor could have chosen a work that would have brought large financial return. His abilities and persistent effort would have brought him marked success in the business world. Selfish desire, however, played no part in his selection of an aim. He desired to serve youth in an underpaid profession and his reward is great. From far and wide men and women whose lives have been influenced by him in this place now rise up to bear their testimony to his worth. A whole com' munity feels keenly a sense of irreparable loss in his passing. It is not always so. The false standards of success sometimes set up by a selfish world do not result in such great affection and universal love. Many a man who from the selfish standpoint has made a great “success” goes down to his grave unloved. But to the one who unselfishly follows a high ideal of service there arises a monument of peculiar worth, fashioned not from cold marble or bronze, but from the hearts of men and women who profited by loving service and who loved in return. Let his life tell us then that this aim must lx high and unselfish if we would achieve life's greatest purpose. We must add a word about the character of persistency. It could not be that there were no discouragements in his life, but he did not allow discouragement to divert his persistent effort in accomplishing his task. Men and women are so apt to give way to discouragement and reverses—to allow life to slip along in the paths where no re sistencc is met. His life would tell us to beware of such cowardice. His example would encourage us to keep at the task in the face of any apparent failure until triumph comes to crown our persistent endeavor. Let us, in his memory, resolve for ourselves a greater courage and a more untiring effort. Finally his life would tell us that if our aim is high and we labor persistently for its accomplishment that death comes only as the reward of rest for work well done. We cannot hx»k upon the development of character and years of devoted service to the great cause of youth as wasted effort. It is not something that has gone past in the great stream of energy that moves from past to future. It has become a part of the fabric of our present lives. We, in turn, at the close of our life's evening will go on to rest. How we go depends entirely upon how we have lived. There is no prepara- tion for that rest except by means of the labor of the day. Sounding clear from the record of his life comes this reassurance. He entered the life to come as he lived here -confidently, peacefully, and full of purpose. It can be no better expressed than in the words of one who caught a great vision (and when men catch great visions we call it poetry) who said: So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan that moves To the pale realms of shade, where each shall tal(e His chamber in the silent halls of death: Thou go, not lil(e the quarry slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon; but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust approach thy grave Lil{e one who wraps the draperies of his couch about him, And lies douw to pleasant dreams.
