Description
Excerpt from Noble Workers: A Book of Examples for Young Men
There is no more important work than that of stimulating the minds of the young to exertion, that they may be effective workers, and discharge properly the responsibilities of their various spheres. The world needs workmen, brave and true; and every one should be ambitious to find his place and to fill it worthily. And of the means of stimulating the minds of youth, one of the most obvious and the most powerful is the living example. A good biography, presenting a striking portraiture of trials, struggles and successes, in actual life, comes like an inspiration to the young man who is just entering on the stage of the world, As he reads, compares and reflects, he feels the same spirit thrilling in his veins, and resolves bravely to enter the conflict, to battle with difficulty and opposition as others have battled, that, like them, he may win the crown of triumph and deserve the gratitude of his age and of the mankind.
The names selected in this volume take a wide range, purposely, that every one may find an example in his own chosen sphere.
