fools to give up their legitimate
for bauble advertisement. Home
lover was only trying to get the
addresses of country folks in order
to advertise his incubators.
If you can read between the lines
Of this simple little story, you have
already caught the gist of all we
need to say tonight in the discussion
of the Fools of the Bible as we take
up the sixth one Of the series The
Lazy Fool"
Now the foolishness and sin of in
dolence are easily seen if we re-
member that the lazy Hool always
has plenty of money. Incidence is
never lonely, it cannot be, but that
it is very choice as to the compan-
ions it chooses, one is not SO sure.
1t is the accompaniment of barbar-
ism. True of nations and true of
individuals. Show me the nation
most highly cultured and l will
show you nation that cannot be
charged with idleness. Show me
nation barbaric in manners or in
morals, and I will show you a.. ma
ton that knows not the first sylla-
bic of industry. Pauperism is an
other boon companion to the lazy
man. There is something wrong
with q beggar that weighs 200
pounds. And for my part 1 think
there is something wrong with the
person who assists such mendi.
cant. Paupcrism is often Incidence
spelled in another way. IF any
would not work neither should he
eat is Pauls cure for lazy man,
and who is not ready to say that he
prescribed right and proper madi-
cine.
Incidence is often accompanied by
filth and unhealthfulness. The Presi-
dent OF the United States is Il su-
preme example of what may be
known as American stranuousness,
and that mora than natures healthy
start has given him the robust fig
ure he is noted for. He camo into
the world with the physical odds
against him, but he was determined
to develop a healthy body and by
the industry of his effort he has
succeeded. Incidence is sin, for la
Dor is enjoined in the fourth COM
mandment before rest, while scrip
lures everywhere insist on the ne
cessity Of spiritual industry.
Work is the memorable law of
success. That which cost nothing
is worth nothing. Think of col
lege diploma that could be earned
in one year. Consider the value of
an education that could be claimed
without nights AMI ws~ry days of
study. Imagine college degree
that cost S25. No lazy man was
ever a successful man in a high
sense. Hs who would reach tbs
last rundle of the ladder must begin
at the first and climb. If he could
leap to the top, he might miss both
his hand grasp and his footing. By
starting low he leaves a gooi fouu
dation beneath his feet and is more
likely to appreciate the success
when he has scaled the heights.
Work is the shield for temptation
Satan always finds some WORK for
idle hands to do is forever more true
in realms, physical and spiritual.
Tie worst man in the world to m..b
alone after dark Is the man whose
heart throbs regularly, seventy times
a minute, under your owl coat. The
The worst enemy you hive is the
man whose name yoa belr. II yOl
would be free from temptation, don't
speak to yourself. Ycu'll get into
ttouDle if you do Mingle with peo-
pie and be OF service to people if yol
would be safe from sin. He WHO
works for hobo1y works for The devil
and gets Big wages. The wages OF
sin j., death.
Work is the key to happiness. He
is the happiest man in the world who
is the busiest mln Moros,ness be-
gins where activity ends. Sad-eyei
men usually have loads of time on
their hands. He who sorrows all
day long has no time to do his duty,
Would you be happy, he busy.
Work IS the patn to wealth. Happy
the poor man. For him. If he be
industrious, the whole world lies
open. The rich mans son IS to be
ptied. lie Is hanilca pped at the
start. but the poor man born without
silver spoaa in his mouth, will ell Joy
lie all the more If he has to earn
the SJOun he eats With.
Work is The remedy for wrath. A
wou 6.pile is a necessity in the aver
aye mans back yard. Good Tor
tramps aud hus bands, when one OF
them IS lazy and the other is mad. -
10 make the chips fly wont hurt the
other person hall SO much as to make
the "fur" fly, while the wrinkles ON
the brow Of the one are smoothed
out as rapidly as the fre.wood
lengths multiply. A ten minute les
son at the wood.plle is better tll,n a
forty minute sermon on Patience.
Work is the secret of cOptentment.
