Becoming suddenly aware of the impossibility of descending, he heard the voices of his comrades far down below him saying, "Do not look down; try to reach the top." His only hope was to go right up, up, up! till he landed at the top. Maimed and blemished by idleness, how many young Philadelphians, having cut their names somewhere low down, have put their hands in their pockets and are standing still? Tp look at them one would think they had found a diamond, judging by their stately manners and utter indifference, whereas it is only a piece of broken glass tjiey have picked up. Friends are still calling to many of us, "Up, up, up I There is room at the top." Signed August 6, 1921.
