'l'omorrow finds us in the world. unused 'l'o all its lahors. its toil and strife. Yet wholly eonfident. as ever Youth Has heen since hope began to shine. ln one day more the see-ond at-t will start. And Curtain will ring out the voiee suhlime Direeting this our play: The stage is set: lfaeh one is now resolved. and firm in heart To give the world his ialtry hit. and try z- l . . To render all he does a work of art. This is the greatest. hardest seene of all. For our portrayal. we have learned the power To read the fullness of each spoken line.

Why is it that mundane sueeess will eause A man to harter eyen his soul away? Suez-ess eonsists not in the sordid seareh For worldly goods. nor in resounding name. Nor yet in sleek eontentment. nor in That vain pomp and splendor known as fame: But in a nobler. holier desire.
