LET US REFLECT
Once more commencement time is up
on a?. When we look backward we are
surprised to realize how quickly the year
has rolled past. We mark another mile
post on the journey . of life and should
have profited as we journeyed along. Let
us hope that the year just gone has not
been allowed to pass to eternity without
our being in some way benefitted. We
have either gained or lost which is it?
Let each, one consider this question in
all-seriousness.
As the result of reflection it is possible
that some of us may conclude that we
have not advanced ourselves as we should
have done. We may realize that With
a little more effort certain cheri-hed de
sires of a worthy character would have
been gratified. But we did not bestir
ourselves and make the effort. For this
fact we may become a prey to regret.
It is sometimes well that we regret
the doings of the past, especially if the
regret is parent to a resolution to make
the best of future opportunities and to do
better. When it comes to our real needs,
our self-needs, others can help us but
little. Each must do his own share of
the drudgery which is required in the
refining and polishing process through
which every human being must pass in
order to merit the approbation of the
better class of his fellows.
