' That inan who forms a purpose which he knows to be right and then moves forward to accomplish it without inquiring where it will land him as an individual, and without caring whrtt thcMmmediate consequences to himself will be, is the manliest of manly men. There is something in human nature that always' responds to manly courage. There are too many men who buil'd fences about themselves and do nothing for fear of' making mistakes. "I take no risks," a man says,0 and on this account Philadelphia stands still in many directions. Such men are like standstill freight trains at night, with a powerful lamp at the end. But there are other men pushing forward all the time, who are conscious that, while they may make mistakes, their fellows will generously understand, and allow them time and liberty t repair them. There is hardly any man that is able to take his own measure as to his possibilities until he experiments with himself. If this Store were a big ship and always tied up to the dock next to the City Hall, it would be very little use to people. Its great crew must cross oceans and travel through deserts and populated countries to keep its cargo up to date. Signed Oct. st, nun.
