sELF-RELIANCE

Pleasant Point. Texas Dear IIaphammcr:
Inasmuch as | was so successful before. l
will como again. shall take for my sub
qualifications which help on to success in
life, there is none which is Of more import
ance than self-rellance. III you want n
thing well done, do Il yourself" says the old
saw, and hence comes 1t that those who rely
most upon themselves for the accomplish
ment OF any aim arc the ones who do the
best work. Heaven helps those who help
themselves ia a wei tried maxim cmbodying
Ia small compass the result9 of vast human
experience. The spirit OF self help Is the
root of all genuine growth in the individual
and exhibited In the lives of many II consti-
tutes tho true source OF National vigor and
strength. Help from without Ia often en-
feebling In ia effect, but help from within
invariably Inyigoratea. Whatever is done for
men or classes 10 n certain extent takes away
the stimulus and necessity Of doing for them
selves, and when men are subject TO over
guidance and Ovcrgovernment the inevitable
tendency is 10 render them comparatively
helpless.
II is energetic indivi1ualism which produces
the most powerful effect upon the life and
actions Of othcrs, and really constitutes the
best practical education. The determination
TO be ones own helper Is the secret OF this
Individual development and strength No
greater misfortune could beiall an ambitious
aud able young man than n legacy
