»s i?m , iB ,sm ,sme . m (•• • ' tieals X DEALS are not mere visions of beauty whose pur- pose is to arouse wonder and admiration. They jft? ' ■ are commands to be obeyed — divine injunctions 8 upon the actual to realize the potential, challenges to the m soul to attain its possibilities. W hether they will be true guiding stars of fortune, leading on to noble achievement and to higher goals of manhood and womanhood, or the illusive glow of the will-o ' -the-wisp, leading nowhither, I depends upon the measure of compliance with their behests. Wherefore, 1 was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision is the epitome of a life and a career I hardly equalled for moral grandeur by any other in ?• history. The talent uninvested is taken away, opportunity m neglected is forfeited, power unused is lost, conscience JQfl unheeded grows dumb. But of all the sad penalties which result from disregard of the law of function, the saddest is the loss of ideals by those who do not pursue them. Where there is no vision, the people perish. Now and then we hear that one has attained his ' f ideal. We may be sure it was a counterfeit. Ambitions 0-, may be realized, true ideals never; and pity it is that J men and women so often prefer enjoyment of present J attainment rather than continued pursuit of what is higher. All of us are in danger of looking with com- g placency upon our efforts and of being content with low C and paltry achievement — a danger, failure to e-cape which »• means paralysis and decay. Only those ideals that are unattainable are worth pursuing. As we follow after 2| these they elude us, but the pursuit always carries us 1S|S« higher, never lower; and, after all, its uplifting power lffi constitutes the t rue worth of the ideal. 4 S The world ' s greatest need, now, is for young men JHT and young women who have learned not merely to build « castles, but to defend them — dreamers whose dreams n beget high resolve and brave deeds; idealists whose pur- pose is to realize their highest visions and who have fSiSt courage to match their resolution. For them life will Jjftf be worth living; for they will make it so. S .JESSE F. AIII.T.SPAUGi-H.
