We are not born with purposes firm set, but have to work our way with the strongest efforts. For this effort youth is the only fit time. Finally, society has a right to demand of youth a firmness and thoroughness that can not be shaken by adversity. We should work not merely to please man, but to please God, who looks deeper and sees the soul within...
