NVe should not feel dispograged if
all our undertakings do not result
as we wish nud reasonably expect
Failure so called if rightly viewed
and lessons learned from the turn¬
ed to good account are more fre¬
quently a benefit than a disadvan-
to us. The young especially should
profit by experience and use their
blunders as stepping stonqs to high¬
er and nobler undertakings than
ever before attempted.
