Have you thought It all out and given honor and support where such are due, or have you been shut up to your own little problems and this cor ner of the world'.' Have you thought that the hand Which has led you, may In turn rightfully look to your strong tli to bo led . Duo of the commonest temptations of tho modern young man Is thla un reasoning acceptance of (ililn'gs a.s he tlud.s them, ready to lib' hand. A.s he walks the paved way, the toll of tluwe that went before Is nothing to him. The vantage groan., of the gold en experience of others prevented lu a modern tet-book, prescribed la'bora- 'ttiry work or lectures Is aeeepted by the student as a mere matter of coarse, when perhaps the facts dis covered or the thought oOaboralcd have cost the bet elVort of the ablest minds for centuries. The largest pant of our thinking Ikis already been done for us by scholars and states men. It would eem sometime as j if tHiese beaten paths had been made t o easy, and L at sonve Of that stern struggle and dutermlue . dig for truth which c..aracteried t.ic laliors of our father, produced deeper considera tion, stronger character, iust as the plain food, pure air and water and roughing it of the summer camping trip induces a better digestion than Coaxing the stomach with prepared foods. There is economy In stepping upon the shoulders of our fathers; an ear lier concent nit ion of effort for come end in life may result, but there conies with it also the possibility of narrow ness of vision, ovembsorptinn in per sonal Interests, pelflshucc-s. In the daily treadmill of our beat en rounds of'duty we not . .luequout ly indulge in the fear that inlivrent creative power, originality may suf fer loss from disuse. There is more vital ground for fear that th soul may beerviio dead ti gratitude and to f!od. Tlie deepest mire of selfishness Is thanklossiiess. Will not the inenvbers of the Young Men's Christian associ ation of the University of Nebraska find the deepest blessing in living not unto themselves? The agency through which we, as an association, reach the world field is the internatr.Kii committee. Tills common1 mother of us all demands tho support of our money and our prayers.
