THE CHRONICLE VII. groat, truths of life, character, ideals, education, faith in his follow men, and prayer to (!od for his help and guidance. Others lie waiting ready at his hand, but he has still to learn their power and how to use them skillfully; wealth or poverty, the advice and experience of others, and the love and faith of friends and kinsmen. His workshop may he poor and lowly, even ugly, and the Potter may at first despair of ever creating a beautiful and worth while work in such humble surroundings; but if lie choose his tools carefully, fashion them with care and loving skill, and put his heart into his task, his ultimate product will surely be a masterpiece, inspiring others to greater effort, bringing comfort and happiness to fellow workers less fortunate than lie, and in that alone is he well repaid; while, on the other hand, surrounded by walls of beauty and luxury, the Potter may grow careless, expecting the lovliness of the walls to reflect in his work, and finding it, when completed, but a poor, lifeless thing, when placed beside the glorious handiwork of the true workman. As his work progresses, the Potter is startled in discovering that, with the labor of his hands, he is modeling, unconsciously, his innermost self, and that it reflects, like a mirror, all his unjust or noble actions, and even his thoughts, tinting it with moving shades of beauty, or marring it with blemishes of ugliness. Persevering effort builds it high and strong, indomitable against the attacks of evil, temptation, and misfortune; bonds of true and lasting friendship bold its particles together, firm and true. High hopes for its success, though they may not always be realized, are in some measure reflected in it. He finds that his selfish tears dim the shining surface, and that wholesome mirth and laughter make it glow brighter and brighter. Ilis sympathy for the sorrows of others, and his helpfulness to his fellow creatures in distress cause its outlines to assume beautiful, graceful curves, pleasing to the eye. When his unworthy actions or carelessness cause a break to appear in its perfection, or a section of it to fall away, detracting from the lovliness of the whole, though what is put into it may never be effaced, he finds that, by true penitence and earnest endeavor to atone, ho may cause the offending spot :o become dim, and soon fade almost entirely out of sight; and always, as his work grows nearer and nearer to completion, the love and tenderness which he has put into it shed a soft radiance over the whole. Then, the cold hands of the angel of Death touch the Potter and lie takes up bis work, and departs. At last comes tbe day when every man must give back to his Maker the trust which he received at birth, and receive from Him llis judgment of what he has made of it. Poor mortal, who trembles and is ashamed, and realizes, too late, with sorrow in bis heart, that he has nothing but an ugly, worthless thing to offer, but blessed is he, who may, humbly yet proudly, place his “Life” at His feet and say, “Master, 1 have done my best.” Florence Rich ’22 CLASS CHARGE Class mates—Tonight we stand upon the threshhold, and the doors are about to close behind us. Before us stretch the pathways of the world, a great labyrinth. Our hearts beat high with hope, our eves are filled with dreams, and, tomorrow, with all the courage and confidence of youth, we shall, each one, set forth upon the chosen wav. Broken faith and disillusionment are the monsters which lurk in the by-ways; the pitfalls and snares are many and cunningly laid to deceive the innocent
