\(/hat Enthusiasm M.y Do

Success is often due less to ability than to enthusiasm. The world makes way for the man who believes in his mission. No matter what objections may be raised, no matter how dark the outlook, he believes in his power to transform into reality the vision which he alone has seen.

It has been well said that all the liberties, reforms, and political achievements of society have been gained by nations thrilling and throbbing to one great enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm will steady the heart and strenghten the will; it will give force to the thought and nerve to the hand, until what was only a possibility becomes a reality.

No barrier, however formidable; no obstacle, however insurmountable it may seem to the timid or the fainthearted, can bar the way to any man possessed of enthusiasm for a high ideal. Never before in the world's history has the man fired by enthusiasm had such an opportunity as he has today.

Indifference is the opposite of enthusiasm. Indifference never leads armies that conquer, never models statues that live, nor moves with heroic philanthropies. Enthusiasm it was that wrought the statue of Memnon and hung the brazen gates of Thebes; it fixed the mariner's trembling needle upon its axis, and first heaved the great bar of the printing press. It opened the tubes of Galileo until world after world swept before his vision; and it reefed the topsail that ru,ffled over Columbus in the morning breezes of the Bahamas. It has held the sword with which freedom

has fought her battles, and poised the axe of the dauntless woodsman as he blazed the pathway of civilization. It turned the mystic leaves upon which Shakespeare and Milton inscribed their burning thoughts, and sustained and soothed the heroic soul of Thomas Jefferson in his declining days.

Enthusiasm is the inspiration of everything that is great. Without it, no man is to be feared. With it, no man is to be despised
