[[preprinted]] Press Notices [[/preprinted]] [[clipping]] MORAL COURAGE. By Peter Spen, Houston. For fear of what another one night think, Many a rash and shameful thing was done. Through such a fear the gambler begun, The drunkard swallowed his initial drink. Here is the starting point, and the first link In a long chain of vices; one by one New faults are added until there are none From which the conscience, deadened now, will shrink. It shows in childish play and stratagem, The boy that breaks a window on a bet; The girl, some form or rule of etiquette, Because designing comrades challenged them. It is the coward who accepts a dare – The truly brave laughs, for he doesn't care. [[clipping]] SUCCESS It's doing your job the best you can, And being just to your fellow man; It's making money, but holding friends, And staying true to your aims and ends; It's figuring how and learning why And looking forward and thinking high, And dreaming little and doing much; It's keeping always in closest touch With what is finest in worth and deed; It's being thorough, yet making speed; It's daring blithely the field of chance, While making labor a brave romance; It's going onward despite defeat, And fighting staunchly, yet keeping sweet; It's looking up at the stars above, And drinking deeply of life and love; It's struggling on with the will to win, But taking loss with a cheerful grin; It's sharing sorrow, work and mirth, And making better this good old earth; It's serving, striving, through strain and stress, And doing your noblest – that's success. – Mrs. Waudie Atherton. [[clipping]] SENTENCE SERMONS BY REV. ROY L. SMITH. A Girl's Honor – – Is more precious than much popularity. – Is never violated by a man who truly loves her. – Is never laid open to suspicion by her ability to say "no." – Is too precious a treasure to gamble with lightly. – Is worth no more to the world than the value she places on it. – Is too big a price to pay for keeping up with the crowd. – Is God's mark of admiration for woman kind. [[clipping]] "Friends," by Edgar A. Guest: Ain't it fine when things are going Topsy-turvy and askew Too discover someone showing Good old-fashioned faith in you? Ain't it good when life seems dreary And your hopes about to end, Just to feel the handclasps cheery Of a true, devoted friend? [[horizontal line]] [[clipping]] 3/4 They say that man is mighty, He governs land and sea, He wields a mighty sceptre O'er lesser powers than he; But mightier power and stronger Man from his throne has hurled, For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world.
