Whitehall, Mont. : SHAVE FUNERAL DIRECTOR, When. in and your orders will receive ILIVERY a sinall value on what has already | been done during the days of toil and closé application that have brought you to this hour,-but;-on the contrary, I; heartily rejoice with you, your teacher and your parents, in the happy realizations of this moment that you lave | grasped the opportunity to advance \thus fur in arming and equiping yourselves for the ardudus tasks which await all truly heroic souls, by which,in all the golden years of the’ future, the grandeur of this world shall be unveiled, and bring to the admiring gaze of -all the weak and despairing the true ends and benefits of life. To the one who thinks and ob- serves there is everywhere evi-; dence that the human race is grad ually moving up to a, higher plane, a plane of higher living;-of more cultured and yetined life, and stronger, neler purpose. This, 1 is nothing less than the speck of divinity that is in man (icd’s moral image. Though this text primarily. had reference tothe coming -of the Messiah who would usher into the world a new era and infuse into the heart of -man a new life, yet the plan is incomplete; its consumn mation is yet many centurics in the future. God is still managing this world, and that by a prearranged plan, and in consequence of the stirpend- ous tasks to be performed, is con- stantly qualifying men of heroic mould, and wonien of angelic tem- perament to help prepare the way to _edueate, ‘refine ‘and bless*the world, and all through the dark night of superstition, and almost despair; the morning star of hope i}has ever beer seen, causing the weary and footsore traveler to take new heart and cournge. To me it is an inspiring thought that.all the noblest enérgies and aspirations of good men and womn- en are a part of God's plan in pre- paring. the way, and makes us co- -|workers with God. Every scien- tific: discovery, and every school which has for its objeet the train- ing of the mind and the building up of a strong and upright char- acter, ia partnership with God, Then let us put. in contrast with this noble picture the thought that every wicked-passion, that burns in the human breast, every unholy thought put into execution, are so many huge boulders. piled in the path of peace and. righteousness. The forces of: evil are at work day and night to destroy, not only the earthly happmess of mortals, but believe, and Alder hi WEST BOUND.

These are the two forces which tate contending for supremacy here gnarled amd bony hand and pluck. one--or-the -other—is— going to“tri- umph. The struggle has already been long and fierce, reaching so far back into the grey mists of the past that any , effort on our part to-pieree its-shadowy myste- ries will not make a ripple on the shores ef the eternity that is past. Thank God tonight that you.and { are soldiers in this great war, and that we have for our captain one who never loses ¥ battle, Could our eyes atone open upon all the broad: plans and schemes of heroie men, could we see at a glance the path through trackless space’ where planets wheel and millions of blizing suns flash their! golden beams, the change of seasons, day and-night, and all down to the tiny pebble upon the beach, or the delicate. in- strunient for scientific investign- tion, what.a labyrinth of activity, what a myriad of interests the mighty God has for the working out of his ‘plans; and, appalling thought, you aad I are a part of that wondrous raachinery, an im- portant part in the maturing of his plans, and have our part to ber form in them. When I consider that God is in- finite in wisdom and boundless in his resources, And femember that he has made insignificant man a co- worker, a partner, soto speak, in fitting up this grand universe for a more éxalted life, I become an op- timist indeed, for, though there are many difficulties in the way, which are to be met and overcome; “Hf thou faint inthe day of adversity, thy strength is small.” God has given all the knowledge we can use with profit to ourselves; we are not able to use more; but when we shall exercise advantage- ously all our energies and capnci- ties, when, after years of training, we come Grod sys, to new necessities, even of steam and electricity, they will come through the dustry and progress. greater than our use various avenues of human in —_—— Sad jis the outlook for the in- dividual who is not uctuated by sirong conviction of duty and nobte-resolttion,-bet-moves along in the nirrow groove of, selfish ness and pride.. “‘I would rather be @iving drop of dew, quenching the thirst of a delicate flower on a summer night. than to be a dead sea from which even a dog would not drink.” God's word in truth says: “I witness against adulterers and false swearers, and agninst those ‘the hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatlierless, and that turn its transparent will a swift sorcerers be and who oppress Taside the stranger from his sight and fear not me.’ It is apparent that these things have been — proven in the past in God's dealings with nations. Even now almost. the eritire student class of Russia are arrayed-- more or actively against the government, the foun- dation of the trouble being that ideas of liberty and progress are finding their way into that country and are taking- hold, of the intelligent classes. The. man ot woman who is per'- mitted to live in this world of ac+ tivity, beauty, and though he may wear the crown of ‘royalty, and diamonds may sparkle and flash from. his brew; yet if he not breath the spirit‘of helpfulness his life, he lives in a very narrow cirele dnd it is re- flected in his countenance that he has never ¢linibed the hilltops of true glory nor drunk froin the sparkling fountain of real life, In German West Africa the natives are taking lessons in cotton raising from negros trained in the industrial schoo! of Booker —T. Washington in Tuskegee. In this way man is Joining. hands withe | God in weaving a chaplet of true beauty around the world.
