MAKE THE BEST. OF YOUR
SELF.

Are you making the best of your
self /? Are you using to the best adj
vantage the natural powers of body
and mind given you by your Creator?
Or are you droning through life in
half efforts, and steadily drifting
behind men of less ability than your
own-men who, with fewer talents
than you possess, are making the
best of themselves /? Think of this.
Put the question to yourself as we
put it to you, and do it honestly.
Look the matter right in the face
Are you making the best of yourself?
If not, begin a new life at once. Do
your best in everything, hin your think
ing and in your doing. Rise out OF
incidence and self-indulgence, and
not only will the world be the better
for your having lived IN it, but you
will be better for having lived in the
world.
