The English language ha carried no word which brings men more cheering re-salts than that one word "Success." Nothing succeeds like it. Beaching oat, grasping after and longing to attain it. by all laudable means, is both honorable and commendable. I believe in working for success.

My success has been wonderful and yet the work grows apace. Away beyond anything yet attained lie unexplored fields, which by diligence and unyielding pluck I propose to occupy.
