(Continued from Page One) may fail, your hopes be destroyed, your bank stranded and yet you be a success. How? Because, you are making a life, not a living. Too much stress has been placed upon the commercial value of an education. It is all true, but what are commercial values, compared with spiritual val ues? Many u man has found in mak ing a great success from the com mercial value, he has lost those val ues that count for eternity. "Speak, History! who are life's victors?" Unroll thy long annals and say: Aro they those whom the world calls tho victors? Who won tho success of a day? Tho martyrs or Nero? The Spar tans who fell as Thermopylae's tryst or tho Persians and Xerxes. His judges or Socrates? Pilate or Christ? This is a most important day for you. This week you will receive a diploma which is1 the outer badge of inner culture. What will make your life a success? The set of the soul, what will make your lifo a failure? The set of tho soul. One ship goes East, another goes West (iy the self-same wind that blows. Tis tho set of tho sail and not the gale That points the way you go. Like the winds of the sea, are the ways of fate As we journey .-.long through life 'Tis tho set of the soul that de termines the goal And not the storm and strife. ponts canton National League.
