' ?GO FORWARD" \V*8 Subject of Discovme by Rev. Graham To Camden Graduated ' * 4 "Go Forward" the command found iu the interesting and miraculous journey of the Israelites from Egypt to the l,and of Promise was the text and .subject of the inspirational ser mort delivered by Rev. John I*.. Graham to the thirty young ladies and gentlemen who comprise tho graduating class of the Cairtden High School, delivered at the school audi torium last Sunday evening to capa city filled house. It was a well choaen subject and well handled. Rev. (iraham urged his young hearers to press onward and "upward -?leadership, character, opportunity, honors* -awaited them. It waff a time ly subject for never . befo're has op portunity knocked so persistently and possibility seemed so assured .to the ; youth of our land as today when all thing-s seem possible. And now' may we add a personal wordf to this df>lendid class of girls and boys-: Let nothing keep you from the goal. If you have youth ? and health the world is yours. Do not linger in tho slough of despair nor sleep in the cradle pf .Giant Dcapair, ? for there is a mist In the lowlands but a bright gleam on the highland heights. The command has gone up and down your line "Forward!" Obey ?the command and obstacles will dis} 'appear as they did for the Hebrews of old. You are under ' marching I orders, do not rest unt^l the Amele kites and the Amorites are behind you ip the desert, tifl the Jordan rolls at yOur back, till the walls of Jericho lie at your feet and. your flag , is unfurled on the hills of Canaan. He* -member it is the optimist and not [ the pessimist who has borne the ban ker of progress and written the story of the world. Then go forward and | take to the world a message shot to the core with the sunshine of to-> morrow. Our lives are what we make ( them. There is a stewardship which we cannot deny, a responsibility we cannot shirk. It is a misconception of our role in the great drama of life to focalize what belongs Jo hu manity or to bury the King's treas ure in the corner of the field. Capi talist on ypur talents and your in dividuality ? "give to the world the bc-ot you have and the best will come back to you-.". ..As. you gp forward on the niarch of life have confidence in yourself and your ability to reach the heights. Emerson says: "self trust jis the first secret of success.''
