To the Young Men of Pike A Plain Address on Duty and Success
A Gordon Institute teacher writes to Pike’s young men urging sober living and industry. He argues true success comes from following one’s God given path, not public fame, and warns parents against steering sons into unsuitable professions. He praises self denial and honest work, critiques excessive fundraising, and urges practical help for education without creating dependence.
