ADDRESS BY G. W. PENNING
TON TO GRADUATES

(Continued from page 2)
til such training becomes recreation ra
ther than an irksome task.
One of the most distinguished women j
in the world to-day is a blind girl, Hel
en Keller. Think of her wonderful tal
ent, and remember that for all her rare
ability, all her charming personality and
brilliant depth of thought, she is in
debted entirely to her cultivated and
powerful memory.
Memory may de likened to an invis
ible photographer who needs only the
light of reason to blazon wisdom upon
the film of the human mind. Good
memory is not only indespensible to
success in life, but it furnishes the keen
est enjoyment we experience, and to
cultivate the memory you must of
necessity' cultivate your power to will
and to think.
One of the very finest of mental ex
ercises is to write in large characters
on a card, such words as —Fortitude—
Dilligence—Opportunity—Earnestness
Courtesy—Endurance—Independence
words that are fraught with deep mean
ing—-fasten this card upon the wall of
your room, and each day when ever the
opportunity is offered concentrate your
mind on these words. Bj- such training
you almost imperceptably acquire a rich
vocabulary and the power of easy and
forceful expression. Such teachers insist
that we write our thoughts and write a
great deal,—you know we acquire the
ability to write by writing, and mental
exercise of such character of course
means improvement along every line.
But most pupils are rebellious and re
fuse to try to write anything original.
They say I admire beautiful thoughts
from any gifted pen, but I can’t write
beautiful things myself, Now there you
make a false start—that’s negation, not
affirmation—and in mind training or in
any important lesson of life you must
positively affirm things, —you must have
confidence in your power to achieve.
When you stumble upon any beautiful
thought in literature—any able and pro
found exposition, write it down in your
own language and keep it for future ref
erence.
Now let us presume that you will fol
low this council and perform these sim
ple duties for a period of six months,
and I’ll predict the result.
At the expiration of that time, your
mental caliber will be fine-—Your phys
ical health will be better—Your eyes
will be brighter—Your cheeks will be
fairer—Your head will be held more e
rect—Your step will be more buoyant,
and you will have awakened in your be
ing a power of which you did not even
dream.
You know that in all our great instit
utions of learning professors of Psych
olog}’ teach us that we all possess a sub
conscious mind. Now it does not matter
whether you understand the full mean
ing of that term or not, yon may rest
satisfied ot the fact that you do possess
a subconscious mind, and if you do, can
you not perceive how beautiful it would
be to get acquainted with it—to com
mand it—to bring it into play—-to in
sist that it shall subserve some usetul
purpose in your life.
And you can do this, without a shadow
ot doubt you can do it. One of the start
ling things you can accomplish, if you
will follow the simple exercise I have
outlined here, for a brief period you can
take ten or even twenty pages of man
uscript that you have copied or written
yourself, and just before you retire read
them over, and when you lie down say
to your sub-conscious mind, Now while
I rest }^>u work, and t ^ e following day
you can lay those pages of manuscript
one side for the words they contain will
fairly glitter on the surface of your brain
There is nothing supernatural about
this it is merely the result of the nat
ural law of cultivation and development
Now if these are facts is it not indeed
well worth waile to know yourself.
Thus far I have not spoken to you of
the duties of citizenship, and no council
to youth would be complete if we did
not give prominence to the importance
of your duties as citizens, you must un
derstand the day is not far distant when
the training of our young people as cit
izens will be one of the most essential
functions of government, and this train
ing will not be confined to young men
alone, woman too must learn the duty
and responsibility of a citizen, for even
nowT wre behold the d a w n of that era
when no right or privilege enjoyed by
her father, her husband or h e r brother
shall be denien to her.
I would urge that you love your coun
try, respect its laws, be patriotic, and
love your flag, try to gain a clear know
ledge of your own rights, and the rights
of others; encourage a deep admiration
for the cause of liberty, but whatever
you do, do not forget that liberty is not
license, and look well to vour patriotism
that it has the ring of sincerity. Love
your flag so well that you will not fear
to protest if you find it floating over a
bad cause. Remember that great crimes
have been committed it. the name of lib
erty and patriotism. Let me give you a
striking illustration of the idea I wish
to convey.
Once at a historical dinner given in
Norfolk, Virgina to a company of dis
tinguished guests' Commodore Stephen
Decatur arose and offered a toast to our
country. Raising his glass, he said,
“Our Country! In her intercourse with
foreign nations may she always be right
But right or wrong, Our Country!’’ Now
that sounded very loyal and beautiful,
but it really had no foundation in either
justice, reason or wisdom. That citizen
who shouts my country, right or wrong
has permitted his brain aud moral sense
to go out of commission. John Quincy
Adams was one of the honored guests on
that occasion, and you know he was dis
tinguished not only as a poet and states,
man, but was a very practical man as
well. He took it upon himself to gently
rebuke his young friend for what he
considered a very narrow conception of
patriotism. After showing very clearlv
that our country may in some circum
stances be led sadly astray by time-serv
ing politicians, he exclaimed:
“Then say not my country
Right or wrong
Nor draw thy sword in an unhallowed
cause
But when thy country wanders from the
right
Fold up thy banners
And avert thy sight.
Now my young friends I have spoken
longer than the time allotted me.
The mental training and philosophy I
have discussed with you to-night as you
know is a part of the higher thought of
our day, but modern new thought is
merely old thought rejuvenated for as I
have told you these very things were
taught to the youth of Athens 24 hun
dred ago, by a beloved philosopher.
Socrates said to the young people of
Athens: "Your Gods are on high Olym
pus, let them remain there,—-trouble
not your mind regarding them, but come
to a thorough knowledge of yourselves."
For this unselfish service the foolish sen
ate of that great city by a vote of 281 to
220 condemned that dear old heart to
death, and then they blazoned their felly
upon the annals of the race by repenting
when it was too late. So great was tfieir
love and respect for his character that
they turned tlieir heads away in fortow
even while they pressed the cup of Hem
lock to his lips, and in liis moment of
dissolution he was buoyed up by tuch
calmness—serenity—-equanimity, that
his death has no parallel in histc ry.
Now as a parting admonition let me
repeat for your benefit some of his im
mortal words:
Know aaid believe in yourself.
Have the boldest confidence in your
power to achieve.
Remember you are a part of the world
of mind, and you may be a \ery im
portant part. Nay, he said: "You must
play the so skillfully as to make it aa
important part.
I thank yon.
