Sure, none can wear tfce soul with discontent Like consciousness of power unused. Instinctively we want to attain oura goal tn life. We shun failure. No* sacrifice Is too sjreat and no effort too difficult when we ardently seek possession of a coveted prizes When we honestly want " to realize an ideal, 'all our powers are taxed to the very utmost. In our strivings sometimes, we fail where we lea§t expected to do sn Some ,unsurmou!,"table obstacle, nut of our own making, arid for which w** are not responsible, obstructs our pathway. We falter and, as Tliec dore Roosevelt used to say,--"get our second wind"; then g6 on. But try as we will, we just do not attain the goat Perhaps It was not intended that we should reach It It may be a ques ttlon whether our ideals were ever Intended to be realized. Browning wrote. 'A man's reaeh should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for." Per-1 baps we were in error in setting up an abstract ideal In place of a definite and burning purpose as the motivating Incentive of our lives. If the expression of a great and commanding purpose be our supreme Ideal, what higher purpose could there be than "to do our best" under all circumstances and conditions regardless of consequences. That man who does his best need never fear failure, remorse or defeat. He will never know, "The discontent of power unused." A man today holds a responsible position in the government because of the thoroughness with which he did his work. He rose to this position not. through influence or "pull" but because be always did his best Early In life he was taught "to do his best" even though the task seemed menial and unimportant Doigg our best means that under all circumstances, as far as we are able, we should live in the environment of the best Hear the best music and see the best art Choose the best 'companions and read the best literature. Think the best thoughts. Give to the world your best, live in the en vironment of the best, and life to you will never lose Its meaning but will bring to you deserved cohtentment, joy and true success.
