Show I Proper View of Life. Why Is it, I wonder, that the little boy almost always imagines that outside out-side of home is to be found the larger liberty? Why do young men fondly dream that yonder, always yonder, is to be found business opportunity? ,Why does the dissolute man conclude that, outside the common virtues of society, he is to find the larger life? For you, my son, will sometime find that your largest liberty was in the old home, where, if there was authority, author-ity, there was also deep and abiding love ; and you, my friend, will find that others succeeded in your home town, while you failed in the world ; and you, my llberty-lovtng man, will most surely realize, that in the common com-mon virtues of the simply good life Is to be found what you seek In the by-paths of the world. Find the wealth that lies everywhere about you. Practice Prac-tice the virtues that you know. Cherish Cher-ish the love that is yours now. Value the friends that you have known ; and In the superficial you will find the profound, and in the simple things the things eternal. St. John's Bulle-, Bulle-, tin. |
