But when' the piano, violin or bugle is mastered it is almost like the opening of a door into, a new world of pleasure and profit. It is only by swimming that we learn to swim. If you are only half in earnest about anything, you will never get anywhere worth while. Though you Have hesitated, stammered and blundered over your lessons, eo at them again and again and again until you win. A large part of every man's future has in it the figure of a tremendous but successful conflict. When England's great Jewish statesman, Ben jamin Disraeli, first entered the House of Commons he cut a ridiculous figure. His maiden speech was made in such grand style and delivered with so many extravagant gestures that he was greeted Avith scouts of laughter. Much disconcerted, Disraeti stopped abruptly, making the prophetic remark, "I shall sit down now, but the time is coming when you shall hear me." From that time 6n he sttfdied carefully the style, of successful parliamentary speakers, until in the .end his persistence, his wit and, above all, his tremendous initiative made him Prime Minister of England and the greatest prop of the reign of Queen Victoria. "The secret of success is constancy of purpose," he declared a few years before his death. There were undoubtedly many things done in dur early work in bringing up this business that we would do differently now if we had the opportunity; but in spite of all we were led on to move straight forward, between the critics on one side of the road and the gibe-makers on the other, until at last we have established something that we believe the city would not be willing to do without.
