The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1895-05-15

WORD the next: lake care OF your
intellect. Here comes the flood of nov
elettes, ninety-nine out of a hundred
belittling to every one that opens
them. Here come depraved newspa-
pers, submerging good and elevating |
American journalism. Here comes
whole perdition ofprinted abomination,
dumped ON the breakfast table and par
lor table. Take at least one good news
paper, with able editorial and report
ers' column; mostly occupied with help
full intelligence, announcing marriages
and deaths and reformatory and religi-
GUS assemblages, and charities be-
slowed, and the doings of good people,
and giving but little place to nasty di-
vorce cases and stories of crime, which
like cobras, sting those that touch
them. 0, for more newspapers that
put virtue in what is called great prim-
er type, and vice in nonpareil or agate.
Word the next: Never go to any place
where you would be ashamed to die.
Adopt that plan and you will never go
to any evil amusement, nor be found in
compromising surroundings. How
many startling cases within the past
few years of men called suddenly out
of this world, and the newspapers sur
prised us when they mentioned the To-
cality and the companionship To put
it on the least important ground, you
ought not to go to any such forbid
den place, because if you depart this
life in such circumstances you put Off
ciating ministers in great embarrass-
ment. You know that some of the
ministers believe that all who leave
THISTLE go straight to Heaven, however
they have acted in the world, or what
ever they have believed. To get you
through from such surroundings is an
appalling theological undertaking. One
of the most arduous and besweating
efforts of that kind that ever knew OF
was at the obsequies of a man who was
found dead in snow bank with his
rum jug close beside him. But the
minister did the work of happy trans
ference as well as possible, although it
did seem little inappropriate when he
read blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord. They rest from their labors,
and their works do follow them.p II
you have no mercy upon yourself, have
mercy upon the minister who may be
called to of1ciate after your demise.
Word the next: AS soon as you can,
by industry and economy, have home
of your own. What do l mean by a
home? mean two rooms and the bless
ing of God on both of them; one room
for slumber, one for food, its prepara'
tion and the partaking thereof. Mark
you, 1 would like you to have home
with thirty rooms, all upholstered, pic
tured and statuetted, but am putting
1t down at the minimum. A husband
and wife who cannot be happy with 6
home made up of two rooms would MOI
be happy in Heaven if they got there
He who wins and keeps the affection
of a good practical woman has dom
gloriously. What do mean by goot
woman? mean one who loved Coz
before she loved you. What do meal
by practical woman? Imean one wht
can help you to earn living, for tim
comes in almost every mans life whel
he is flung on hard misfortune, and yol
do not want a weal1ling going aroun'
the house whining and shifting abou
how she had it before you married her
The simple reason why thousand
of men never get on in the world i
because they married nonentities an
never got over it. The only thing tina
Jobs wife proposed for his boils was
warm poultice of profanity, saying
Course God and die" 1t adds to on
J admiration of John Wesley the manne
in which he conquered domestic unhal
piness. His wife had slandered him a,
; over England, until, standing in hi
pulpit in City Road chapel, he con
planned to the people, saying: Il hav
/ been charged with every crime in tn
: catalogue except drunkenness" whe
his wife arose in the back part of tn
] church and said: "John, you know yo
, were drunk last night" Then Wesle
, exclaimed: "Thank God, the catalogu
is complete" When a man marries, /
: marries for Heaven or hell, and it
more so when woman marries. YC

r Word the next: Do not postpone tt
S long doing something decided for Go
S humanity and yourself. The create
S things have been done before fort
< years of age. Pascal at sixteen yea
: of age, Grotius at seventeen, Romul1
l at twenty, Pitt at twenty-five, Whit
: field at twenty-four, Bonaparte
J., twenty-seven lgnatius Loyola at thi
t ty, Raphael at thirty-seven, had maj
. the world feel their virtue or their vic
o and the biggest strokes you will pro
1 ably make for the truth or against Il
o truth will be before you reach the m
S ridian of life. Do not wait for som
/ thing to turn up Go to work and tu
g it up. There is no such thing as go
r a better time than l have had; YET
t never had any good luck. But inste
j thereof, Il kind of Providence h
j crowded my life with mercies. You w
d never accomplish much as long as y
5, go at your work on the minute you a
), expected, and stop at the first minu
/. it is lawful to quit. The greatly uset
II and successful men of the next ce
It tury will be those who began half
vt hour before they were required, a,
IS worked at least half an hour after tn
d might have quit. Unless you are wi
s. ing sometimes to work twelve hours
n the day, you will remain on the Il
