The (" mrn sun In the common place sky Mulua ...o commonplace day. COLD ROAST BEEF FREQUENTLY, when the days seem darkest and troubles roll in upon you like the storming waves of the sea, trying their best to overwhelm you, sunny-faced Hope is hovering near, ready to rescue you at your bidding. Thousands of wehry souls on the very threshold of discouragement, about to yield to the crushing weight of their burdens, have at the last mo ment resolutely resolved to stand up and make a new tight. This resolution, in perhaps the most trying hour of their lives, marked the turning-point In their careers. They found a new courage which carried them on and on, carrying them safely through their hardest battles, where they fought inch by inch until the shout of victory stirred their hearts, warmed their blood and cleared their vision. From doubting Thomases they be came sanguine Pauls, tilled with the spirit of faith. They saw new visions and dreamed new dreams. They had strength of their own In stead of that borrowed from others, which through adversity they soon learned how to use to advantage. Such are the men ami women who today are making a better world for all mankind. There is nothing too hlg for them to undertake, no loud too heavy for them to carry, no troublesome hills over which they cannot blaze an eaay path for the less confident to follow. Leaders In their chosen fields of la bor, they take part in the boldest and noblest adventures, never growing weary of well-doing, never faltering by the wayside, never declining to lend a helping hand to the earnest, strug gling In their first effort. They think, plan, organize, achieve and create, while those without hope, hesitate, draw back, afraid to step up In the clearer, Invigorating air and wage the battle with alert hrains, hard sinewed arms and hearts unafraid. They turn stubborn dllhVulties Into willing servants, surmount Impending obstacles, write their names on the eternal skies, and call lustily to the new generations to gird their armor, accept Hope as their captain until the end of their days.
