this is the source of all human

eternal principle calling to man "to

not be false to any man." If the'
honor principle were more firmly

The process of discipline begins
at home, as has already been said, in
earliest childhood. The mother

Lessons in politeness, unselfishness,
honesty and temperance can all lie
taught to children best by the exam
pies of their parents. Literature,
music, art and nature can never be
stressed too much in the education
of the young. One beautiful giri
who was left an orphan at an earlv
Age says that in her room were
placed two pictures?one 4*The Sis*

Guardian Angel," and that these
had a most wonderful influence for

The natural impulses of childhood
are beautiful. The grateful love
that depends upon those protecting
it, the pure mind reaching out after
truth, the desire to imitate the best,
the playful spirit that forgets pain,
the hope that gilds everything of
earth?these are a child's posses^
sious; and if he can be taught never
to part w>th them for the vanity and
selfishness of the woild, which soil
so many older l>oys' and girls' lives,
all its life it will be a witness to a
parent's careful love.
But there is a time in every child's
life when the little heart and character
develops very rapidly. The child

By teaching our children to believe

J 1 " j
eternity a glorious prospect of uever j

him a mighty inspiration to become

way Delivered at the Commence- *
ment of Union Oraded School

-?
Oh, that my soul todav
Could pour itself forth in poetic lay!
Oh, that plainly I could speak the words
mi x a. i _ Ai i
inai lane xnemseives ianiasuc iwni
In my mind's mystic realm.
If to this height I could asi ire,
It would fulfill my soul's desire.
Celesiial music to my soul would play.
And with many a worded gem I'd sing
mv lay
i H' words rophet c and thoughts of
brighest ray.
Hut sin< e I cannot unfold my-elf in
words sublime,
I'll be content to sing you a simple
rhyme.
' If you have the pa'icnee and the time
, To lend an ear to tins verse ot' mine:
j Classmates and companions dear,
We have toiled for in my a year:
With hard problems have we fought
And many helpful lesson-* were we
taught.
1 We have shared each pleasure and each
i pain
That came like the sunshin and the
rain.
Guided by our Alan Mater'' loving
hand,
Till before her no ewe stand.
To take our^ad farewell.
Long and patiently have we waited:
We thought too slowly gaited
Was the time that bore this day
And that it lingered on the way.
Hut row 'tis here: 'tis won:
Ml our weary tasks are done.
Each other at the class seat
We ne'er again shall meet.
| Yei with a sad and mourning heart,
j We greet this day on which we part,
j From all these scenes so dear
And companions to our hearts so near.
And now, dear Mother, we hend our
knee
To pay our lov" and homage to thee:
May thy sacred walls forever stand
A monument reared by our father's
hands
, In this great and goodly land.
Ea?'h year from thy sacred shrine.
May thou send forth men who shine
With the armor of character bright
Men able to contend with might,
In the great battle of life.
Dear teacher, we stand wordless and
blank,
We cannot but in our thoughts thank
You for the ihoughtful. ceaseless care
With which you ever held our interest
near
To your great and noble heart.
We have but yesterday begun
<>ur mortal race to run.
Out before us life stands
In beau'il'ul and grand expanse
Oh, fortune! Thou dark and mystic
creature.
Would that I could read thy every
feature:
And glean from thy weird face
What the future holds for us
In life's ever fleeting race.
But sinee from us thy face is hidden,
And by thee to action we are not bidden.
Leave it not for doubtful fortune to
unfold,
But each a future for himself must
mold.
Cast it not of metal base
And thus make life a desert waste.
But cast it in a stately mould,
Of metal tried as purest gold.
And thus make life as a valley rich and
wide,
Lying by a peaceful rivei's side.
Within this scholastic hall.
We can hear the world's muffled rail
For men and women of a nobler type.
The world wants men and women
Not who faint and turn pale
At every troubled gale.
That oversweeps the land.
nut men ana women toe ume to rigni
When it goes most sadly wrong.
Who are able tc work with might
Among the world's busy thing.
Spirit who bade us breathe this air so
free
One word in prayer we speak to thee:
(iuide us with Thy loving hand
Through the rugged paths of this
strange land.
When time our worried brow has silvered
o'er.
And our earthly race we'll run no more,
May we not wander on the dark Plutonian
shore.
But when our heads are bent and heavy,
Lead us to where shines the glory
Of the bright celestial land;
Where awaits us there the band
Of loved ones who have gone before
And may we with them and Thee live
evermore.
