1910 GOSHEN COLLEGE RECORD. 151 his work, How Gertrude Educates Her Children , became and still is a guiding star for educational ideals and principles. Milton too had peculiari- ties but he exercised his native im- agination and the harvest was the im- mortal 'fParadise Lost . John the Baptist came dressed in camel's hair but his soul in Godis spirit and he was entrusted with the greatest proclama- tion known to all time. So history contains an infinite numsber of illus- trations showing that men and wo- men who dared to be themselves and original in their work miade perma- nent and valuable contributions to hu- man welfare. Be yourself, even if- that self is small. It is better to say your own thoughts in a homely tongue and inspire one listener than quote an- other's flowers or rhetoric and charm a thousand, for original work and effort increases the producer like the increasing momentum of a mountain avalanche and grows in volume like a river fed bfy streams from a thous- and watery slopes. He who never dioes anything, think or feel for him- self has never tasted the purest wat- ers of life and enjoyed the great free- dom of self-realization, that God of- fers tio mankind. Healtihful self-re- liance is not eigoism but manliness and self-respect. To live independently and work out vour own salvation does not implzy disregard for the feelings, convictions and opinions of others or they counsel of the masters and wise of the ages, but it is a respectful response of their message. And what is that message? Tfhe great thought and message of all great men, of all great ages is the story of hope and inspira- tion to every man and woman in spur- ring them to realize their highest and truest being. But no man can make another, other than he is without his wish and permission. Even, God can not make a man ,good against his will. Every person must act for himself. whether in industry, business, social affairs, education or religion, if he would develop. And that self-action is originality, He who will lean not on others but on himself will find the un- seen powers cooperating in myster- ious ways and he will knaow the truth of Franklin's statement that, Heaven helps those that help themselves . Originality and self-effort does not only richly compensate the individual with stronger volition, deeper insight and holier emotions, but society is purified and benefiitted materially, in- tellectually and morally. Almost from everywhere comes the cry, Give us men and women who can lead and di- rectv. Coimimerclial and mantffacitur- ing interesfts seek men and women wiho -can save human energy, time, raw material and money. Shorter de- livery of finished articles better ma- chines wtith less friction and greater productive capacity, nsovel advertise- ments and other means of securing greater patronage furnish opiportuni- ties for living, growing, aimibitious men and wo-men. The state and na- tion demand men who can cope with presentievils. It needs leaders who can prevent unwise action and suggest proper legislation. The school-room is seriously needing teachers who are original enough to aplply the theory to practical and specific conditions. VVe want teachers with tact to disci- pline and with enough individual in- sight to assimulate the curricula and thus becomea fresh fountain of truth Continued next month.
