Every man to accomplish the actual must have an ideal What a train of thought that one word "Ideal" leads forth! An Ideal the Image of th. higher f which, by li power, thrills one and urge him on. A conception not only to be aspired to and dreamed of, but to be striven for; not only to be Imhated, but to be equalled or surpasied. AH men have their UleaU. An Ideal alone can unify our abilities and power. He who expects to attain success In life without first deciding for what object he will work, what end he will attain, la like a carpenter who strive to build a house without a plan: or the (culptor who tries to mould a figure with no model In his mind. A single stroke, without a definite mental picture of the Image to be wrought, might ruin the whole statue. A man who strives with dogged deter mination to make his ldal actual cannot lack opportunities If he is ready to grasp them a they present themselves. Fame open all the entrances to her palace to him and draws him, siren-like, ever nearer, nearer by some Invisible force. Purpose, who rule over the forest outside of the palace, hew out a path way which Faith, following closely after,' smooths and rids of stumbling blocks. Hope, which, according to the beautiful myth of Pandora's box. remain, when all ce has flown away; urges-him on by recounting the. tKCe?4,fiX formet.tjive'. . era over the same road. 1 Could one thoroughly imbued with a deiermlnatlon to accomplish the actual f-l ; A tmntM. cannot rlw higher than lta source; so one' character may be es timated by the nature of his Ideal, and trt.
