FAITH
On the occasion of his birthday
recently Chauncey M. Depew de
clared that Faith is the greatest
of virtues:
“Out of the troubles of ancient
days” he said, “the Good Lord e
volved the three elements of success
and happiness and universal consid-1
eration, faith, hope and charity.
We have tried charity. We have
tried charity in our relations with
the world. Our hopes have not been
entirely justified. But we have not
lost faith. I have found, with very
broad opportunities for observation
and experiences, in what can fairly
be called a long life and a very ac
tive one, that the foundation oi
hope and of charity, the foundation
of life and friendship and associa
tion, the foundations of government
and its successful administration
and the foundations of relations be
tween man and his God. are all ir
faith. The man and the woman whc
are joined together and have faith
in each other, whose children have
faith in them, and the whole familj
which has its faith undisturbed by
revolution, by propaganda, by false
doctrine, and sereenly pursues it;
way in life under the protecting
banner of faith becomes part of tha
great and controlling constituency
which has made the United State
what it is, which will preserve it up
on its past principles and traditions ,
and transmit it to posterity as did ^
Washington and the fathers of the ‘
country hoped it would be.
“Well, my old friends, you have
smoothed the road, accelerated the
pace and added to the joys of tra
vel over the highway of life for a
third of a century. With the eighty
ninth milstone behind. 1 enter upon
my ninetieth year. One of the sour
ces of healthy and continuing long- j
evity is to forget everything of the
past except its gifts of pleasure
and happiness. I had a friend who
on learning of any disease said, ,
“Oh, I have that,” and another who
believed the wealth of the world
his, though he never had a dollar.
There is misery and worry in ex-!
tremes, and all the good possible
is not at either end but can be
j found along the middle road.
“I have been near enough to
vast riches to be grateful for my
■ escape and close enough to bank
ruptcy to fee! its pangs. Death has
! robbed me of precious lives, but
| love has alleviated sorrow and glor- j
ified the years. Keep appetite within ;
healthful limits and place no bound-!
aries against friends and you will
‘ not suffer from physical ills or feel
lonesome in age.
The world is full of good men
and women who will gladly reci
procate all the cheer and joy they
get from you.”
J. R. Fowle, proprietor of the
Fairbanks Clothing Company, was
a passenger on the Tuesday train
from the Canyon district.
