Achievement I am becoming quite well known to SaltLake audiences asid Mr Slocum and I fear you will soon be willing to speed the parting guest Continuing he said that everything worked in this world by law From nothing nothing came Success was not the result of accident ac-cident but of achievement There were two great classes af people in the world one which achieved something and the other which didnt In reading the old Hebrew Scriptures he had been struck with the continuous use of the term it came to pass but he at last came to see that these people had in them a force which was ever bringing something to I pass When the heart was filled with a great idea there was a force which would always conquer in this world I There was something in prowess which attracted people There was something in every human heart that loved heroism > and while they might n not veJohnL Sullivan the brute they could not help admiring the physical prowess that once was his The Creator expected that there should be noble and strong physical development de-velopment A leader in prison reform had told him that the first and most important im-portant thing to elevate the criminal was physical training which would give physical selfrespect InJDenver a boy who had always been a I helpless idiot without intelligence enough to work the optio nerve had been taken to a physician who cut the skull I open and removed the pressure on the brain allowing it to expand Since then the boy had learned to talk could use his limbs and walk The relation of physical j t physi-cal conditions to physiological problems was close A great deal of crime and vice could be taken out of society by good brain development and physical training I I As to the power of intellectual force he I cited the instance of S student at Oxford who wrote a little pamphlet which fell into the hands of a monk in Italy Savo narola was burned at the stake but the foundation of religious and civil liberty was laid with the thought which the student at Oxford gave to the world Judgment was one of the great factors in achievment and to have good judgment a man must have high ideals and the faculty of comparison Imagination also played an important part In achievment Through it the lessons which science could not teach were learned People had gotten so in the habit of condemning passion that it was thought of only as a thing to be ostracised and yet the men who had been leaders in the world were men of passion He who never felt a passion pas-sion never knew the meaning of life A great man had told him that the basis of insanity was the loss of self control and it was the power of controlling passion for noble ends that resulted in achievement achieve-ment The education which simply dulled the soul would never lead to achievement That which made the soul burn with nas sion was best The land which ought to call forth all these faculties was the great west Here were obstacles to be overcome over-come and conditions to call the imagination imagina-tion into activity The spirit of the sturdy pioneers who first crossed the plains in the old pnnrie schooners which bore the one classic which could not be traced back to Greece was alive in all this new empire and would ultimately transform trans-form it |
