¥ i— 6 = =jg •v 1 “One Step Forward Every Day, And the Goal is Won” As we look over the history of mankind from the earliest period of civilization to the present, we find characters that have risen from posi- tions of obscurity to others in which they have exerted a marked influence upon their associates, and upon the age in which they lived. There were no carefully constructed steps to assist them in climbing to these positions, but upon some sure foundation they began the construction of a ladder, and rising step by step, till they reached a place where no others were able to stand. We are sometimes inclined to think that the little incidents of common, every-day life, are of little consequence, and if we could only do something of some importance, we would be happy. Great things are not done in a day. Twenty-four hours are far too short to do anything that will make one famous, but it is not too short to do something, and the many little things added together make the great ones. If we expect to reach a higher position, such common tasks must be performed, and perhaps after these we will find our greater life-work. Life would hardly be worth living if our thoughts were for ourselves. All the beauty in nature was ' made for our enjoyment, so our action should be for the good of those around us. The present alone is ours, and wasted opportunities are never presented to us again. We may not be building a structure by means of which we expect to make our names famous, but we are all building the invisible frame work of character. May the material of which it is composed be the best. Life is made up of success and failure, and those who are the most successful are the best workers. We all expect success, and this stimulates us to greater activity. Often, however, instead of our efforts being crowned with success, we meet with failure, but our failures, as well as our suc- cesses, should be steps by which we rise to greater usefulness. “The sweetest flowers are guarded by the sharpest thorns” so our greatest achievements may be surrounded by the most trying difficulties.
