Getting and Giving.

Should it be a rule of life to get all
you can or to give all you can? Tha,
question is just now under discussion
Well, how much can one give unless be
first gets? The men who are laying
thousands or millions ON the affairs of
education. humanity or religion have
generally been successful as captains
of industry, princes of commerce or
leaders of large business enterprises.
Possibly also their chief benefaction
has consisted in creating profitable en-
ploy is a kind of giving
especially il they have been just and
considerate in their dealings and have
paid fair wages. TO get honestly is
quite as legitimate as to give gener-
ousiy and ought TO take equal rank

Dear NJ. Il. Friends:
When you read Sister BIS letter below
you will see why | selected the above
poem to head our column with this week.
The unconscious seed sowing, the little
deeds that were little seeds, may bring
forth harvest which will sstonish many
OF US. Let us hope it will be harvest Of
wheat, OF good things, Of good influences
and pleasant memories and OF helpful acts
and words
As we get Older we can often look back
to some help that was given us or some
sacrifice made for our happiness or ad-
vancement, and we did not realize at the
time half as much as we do afterwards,
the real benefit we received then or the
spirit of kindness which prompted the
act. Children appreciate more fully the
sacrifices OF their parents in their early
lives, and many an old school teacher
heart Is warmed by the cordial hand
grasp of pupil OF long ago, who assures
his old instructor that his faithful work
and friendliness and sympathy have never
been forgotten.
do not say that all sacrifices and labor
for others are appreciated. ! am not sur
prised that there are those who get dis
couraged and feel that the world Is selfish,
but when you look on the barren lives OF
those who have gone through life looking
out solely for No. One, / am sure you
would not want to exchange places with
them even though some seeds OF your hu-
man kindness seemed to fall among thorus
and in rocky places.

Sandwiches of most any kind usually

box. Fancy pies are always enjoyed but
more difficult to convey in good condi-
ton.
