and bis topic "The Hi<»h Resolve,''i
tbe speaker quoted a clause in Lincoln's Qettys-burg address ;t_ wb:et;
he said, "Let us bere resolve" etc.
Tbis was tbe keynote to Lincoln's'
life. Every life of success is thus
keyed. Doubtless the question may
bave come to some of the class:
"Why get an education*?" The answer will depend upon ones conception of an education and what it is
supposed to accomplish. Plato, John
Stuart Mills and Herbert Spencer
were quoted as to tbeir ideas along
this line. Success in life does net
happen. It comes as the result of
properly directed effort and all true
success mast be considered in relation   to   character.     Napolen   Bona-
