May We not recall the story Of Rob-

ing more and more to be learned? Most,
readers will remember that this poor
castway. with no hope of any human
eye to observe his faithfnlness, never
failed to carry out his conscientious
duties towards'his Maker and it is safe
to assume that he would have continued
to do SO even no other human being had
ever set foot ON his lonely Isle. Nd the
boys-and what are wemen but boys
grown older? will confess tlio
thrill OF interests that came when Robin
son CrnsOe suddenly saw before him -

the possible adventure that it promised
to CruHo... but, 0s men, u anDoment'A

play for our hero arl entirely nesE- set
OF responsibilities. Not only, was he
compelled to understand that his
territory would now have to sustaln

that that other would do damage to-
himself in order togain complete possess.
ion. IIis duty to his Creator was not
decreased, but duty to his fellow was
s,lper-added. IN fact. Crusoe and Friday
formed "a state in miniature and Crusos
had to curb himself in various ways to
display k;ndnes, goodwill, tact and IN
seltishness. We know how the adven-
ture resulted Friday became an ORDER

right sort Of example WAS ret before him.
1t may be urged that Crnsoe was good
to Friday from - selflh motive, but
selfish motive or not, the way IN which
Crusoe conducted himself towards Friday
was the only way in which both could
live happily together. When other
people came to the island Crusoe'A
responsibility was still more' increased
and his duties to his neghhors and their
duties towards him became more conf
