An institution prospers only in proportion to the faithful, honest persevering labor bestowed by its supporters, and just as soon as one after stone crumbles and falls out of place, weary of filling its niche in the wall, the structure must totter and finally succumb: then while we work let us work with a will, fairly and squarely filling our places instead of lagging, let us be incited to renewed energy, and "sow not the wind that ye reap not the whirlwind." If we work willingly, work unitedly, work lovingly, work honestly and work perseveringly, who knoweth what the harvest will be? The Lord of the harvest hath said, "As ye sow, so shall ye also reap."
