To the Seniors T will always be true that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. ln our day and generation we are reaping the bitter fruit of the ever-growing materialism of the past seven or eight decades. The vast developmnts of physical science, cultivated apart from the emotional and spiritual nature of man, have had their inevitable end in the creation of fearful engines of destruction. Science has given us stones to crush us-not spiritual bread to feed our inner lives. We cannot too often remind ourselves that true meanings are not to be found in the material aspects of life. So many evil forces have been loosed in the world, so much pain and suffering and anguish smite the mind and heart, that one is some- times tempted to ask, Where is the good in life? The important thing is not to lose heart. lf we lose our wealth, said Goethe, we lose something, if we lose our repu- tation, we lose much, if we lose our courage, we lose everything. lt is the little things that irritate us, the great trials we meet with equanimity. Still, it is true, as the Professor at the Breakfast Table has told us, Life is a great bundle of little things. The important thing is to resolve not to live life in little ways, but, by visions high, lift yourselves above mortal sight and win life's true success. Richmond L. Scott. 32
