Franklin,S Way.

The best moral lesson we can ever hope
to give person, is truthful insight into
human nature. The idle scholastic method,
of connecting prize or thrashing with
good conduct or the reverse exhibits the
crudest knowledge of the motives of man
kind, for it makes the object to be gained
or avoided something extrinsic to the thing
itself, and thus. while it leaves the prOpen-
sity to err the same as ever. it leads the
mind to indulge in all kinds of cheatery to
win the one or escape from the other.
There is but one certain and sound way to
bring men to good and turn them from the
evil that is in their hearts. and that is by
attacking the cratic propensity itself and
bring them to love the goodness for mere
goodness sake and lOath the evil simply be-
cause it is morally loathsome. Once awaken
this sense OF moral beauty and moral ugli-
ness in human being and you are sure of
your man. For it is this same beauty either
of the sense. the mind, the heart, or the
SOUL that all are perpetually pursuing. But
appeal to the mere brute greed of mans
nature, teach him that he can get something
by being good or avoid something that he
dislikeS by respectable conduct and, depend
upon it. he is certain to remain innately
bad at heart. and instead of our reaping a
goOdly harvest of golden grain in the end
we shall find that we have raised merely a
vile crop of weeds and tares in the shape of
Worldly Cunning. Lying. and Hypocrisy

Expressions of gratitude increase feelings Of
gratitude.
That for which q man gives thanks is true re-
vealer of his character.
Ingrstitude is a sin; and one of the worst kind.
for tits born of pure selfshness.
Thanksgiving is often greater mark of genuine
goodness than any other part of prayer.
Even the dreariest life can find at least one
cause for thanksgiving-"that things are no
worse"
The Bible contains seven times as many in.
functions to praise as to prayr; for human hearts
forget so soon.
He who forgets the services of friends is not de-
serving of friends; yet ingratitude is the most
common of all sins.
Because Gods gifts are so bountful. we snatch
them from Him as though we had earned
them. and too seldom remember to return even a
