Mia road to mastership, grinding rything into paint for life's great masterpiece, making everything count toward this one end; growth, expaft- elan, personal power, the development of ability greatly to serve the world. All sorts of temptations will try to keep you trent your goal. Pleasure and comfort will vie for your atten- tion. Love of ease, and natural lazi- ness, will try to lure you from your goal. Persuaders on every hand will try to beckon you from. your course. But burn this one word, "Mastership," into your conscience, hang it up In your bedroom, and don't let anything decoy or lure you from your goal. Many a morning you will rise and "Don't -Feel -Like -It" will call you a fool for straining and striving for such an uncertain goal, a goal which you may never reach, and will bid you take it easy. Pleasure will tellyou to take your good time as you are going. But do not heed these dangerous whispers, Young people are apt to think that one little departure from virtue, one little wrong act, could not seriously mar the character which it has taken a lifetime to build, that such a thing would scarcely be noticed; but re- member that au artist may, with one stroke of the brush, ruin a neuter - piece on which he may have spent many years of effort. No matter what tempts you, fascin- atesyou, keep steadily and persistent- ly in mind, that you are on the road to mastership, This Isour goal, Turn Y g u n not to the right nor to the left. Let not even a Paradise tempt you from your course. This Is the only way in which master- ship may be attained, --Success Maga- zine. 3 This is Russia! A peasant's cart dragging wearily under a burning sun. Flatlands crack- ed racked open by ]teat and drought with dead grain stalks withered and dry in the sun. Emaciated bodies lying by the roadside.

Those not dead are driven like dry loaves in a hot wind. Multiply these things by a thousand roads and a thousand vEllages until they cover an area as great as all the United States east of the Mississippi. It is even greater.
