ness whatever it may be, but al
ways sees something more to be
accomplished before he is forced
from the activities of life. But the
saddest and most wretched people
are those that labor as it were un-
der rod. They see nothing ahead
Of them but drudgery. They wish
thev did not need to work, that a
fortune would fall to them so they
would not have to work.
IF you want to know the secret
Of success ask our great. statesmen,
inventors and capitalists. They
will tell you their success is due not
to genius but persistent effort. Did
these great men give themselves to
uninterrupted work? Must one to
be successful gives ones self entire
ly to work? ~
What about play? Is there not
time to play? Yes, there should
be time 10 play; a time to
strengthen and refresh our bodies
and minds. And these breathing
spaces among the working hours
should be bright spots of sunshine.
Different people enjoy differe MT
kinds of amusements. Some after
hard manual labor require a quiet
rest; while others need more active
amusements. What is true of diff
ferent temperaments is true of diff
ferent ages. A grown person would
not be satisfied with the trihing
plays Of a child.
. At different eras in history we
find very different kinds of anu Sc
ments. And true picture of the
character of a nation is shown BY
the kinds of amusements enjoyed
by the people. We see such cruel
sports as the battle, the arena, the
bull fight, and the chase. In bat
tie two sides often fought just for
the love of fighting. AS it was
said OF the Greek, mot hate, but
glory, made those foes contend, and
each brave foe was in his heart a
friend"
The stage is a very popular mode
OF entertainment. Some people en-
loyed the gay comedy; while others
prefer the deep dyed tragedy.
While we regard card playing,
which is another very popular form
Q, amusement, as a curse, the peo-
PIE OF Russia regard it as a great
boon.

famous for active exercise. The
English we believe surpass the
