In fact, there is per - no othor qttallly so pre-eniln- ently essential to success as that fa- culty which enablers one to look ahead, to foresee and forecast the future. Where there is no vision we fail. There is, perhaps, no better exam- ple of the power of vision than that or Calunraus. History tells us May patiently and persistently lie labored to secure assistanc,e to follow up his vision and anikeit :REAL TO Tina WORLD. Tics labored to gain his vision and he labored to realize it. We wonder that such a glorlotis vision Should have remained so long unseen. The reason is apparent. The world's brightest visione are reserved as re- warcie to persistout and painstaking effort and to cliligent Mad untiring re- search, It is a mistake to think that all Important visions have already been seen and realized. There are still worlds to discover and to conquer. Brighter visions than those which are unfolding themselvem in our day and generation the world tins never seen. Those who are catching glimpses of - them we can geniuses or wizards.. Blit theY Rye in reality thinkers, workers. It is thus that they make their inepiration. Visions have indeed played a migh- ty part in the ivorld'e hisiot.y. They have led the famous W1111'10111 to glorious; victory.
