BEJUsT TO YOURSELF.

One must forget self. satisfying and
self-desiring, but none can afford or has
the right to overlook for one moment
or neglect in the least, self needs and
self being. Our first and highest duty
is to make the best of ourselves. We
can never make men or things better
until we have succeeded therein in some
measure. Men may call it egotism, just
as Pitt characterized General Wolfe's
Boosting the day before the English
army embarked for Canada. But Pitt
forgot all that when he heard how
Wolfe rose from a sick bed to achieve
the glorious victory of the Heights Of
Abraham! So will men forget their
sneerlng when through personal care
and attention we fit ourselves for the
accom- plishing of some high work.
All we shall ever be able to accomp-
fish, eitherl in ourselves or in others,
must begin in ourselves 1t is most
necessary we should set our standard
sufficiently high to rise above the re-
quirements of this world; but having
done that, let us stick to the mark, de
spite what others say or think or do
All you can make OF your life yol
alone can make, You may become {
borrower, and thus constitute yoursel
only a depository for other people,
thoughts and opinions and principles
or you can be your ownibanker, draw
