Do the Right Thing.

Whenever you are in doubt which of
two things to do let your decision be for
that which is right. Do not waver, do
not parley but square up to the mark
and do the right thing. Boyl when
you divide that apple with your little
sister, be careful not to keep the largest
half yourself Young man don't sneak
out of the basement door because you
want to escape your faith er's eye. Mad
am let not the most trifing deceit pass
current in those little acts which make
the sum of your life. No matter who
you are, what your lot, or where you
live, you cannot afford to do that which
is wrong. The only way to obtain hap
piness and pleasure yourself is to do the
right thing. You may not always hit
the mark, but you should nevertheless
aim at it, and with every trial your skill
will increase. Whether you are to be
praised or blamed for it by others
whether it will seemingly make you
richer or poorer, or whether no other
person than yourself knows of your
action, still, always, and in all eases, do
the right thing. Your first lesson in
this will grow easier, until finally doing
the right thing will become a habit, and
to do a wrong will seem an absolute
impossibility.
