Rh over all the earth, join hearts and hands with all who desire to love the good and do the right—take thy keys in thy hands and walk through the length and breadth of the land and unlock and break in pieces every fetter of superstition, dispell every dark cloud of ignorance, open every prison ceil of immorality, and raze to the ground every hovel of vice—batter down every barrier of race hatred and prejudice.

Then on these ruins put you towers of pure love for all races of mankind, and temples of virtue. Build you cities of thrift and high fences of industry and let justice and benevolence full of sympathy reign supreme.

What then is your aim, are these ideals your sentiments? Have you my young friend decided as to what part you will play in this ever increasing battle for right? A race with character will overcome all obstacles.

“I am going the way of all the earth be thou strong therefore and shew thyself a man.”—1 Kings 2:2.
