8 What is true in reference to schoC
! life is equally true in reference to tn
! factory and the department store. tn
. head of the department who is mos
, cruel and hard hearted and remOrse
/ less to those under him is the man who
only 4 few years ago, grOaned and suf
fered and prayed to God for deliver
ance under like treatment What /.
true about Overseers is true about capi
talists. The rich man who is the mos
cruel in collecting the last dollar, the
last cent, owing him and who will
strike the hardest bargain is invariably
the man who was once so poor that he
knew all the pangs Of hunger, all the
benumbments of cold, all the horrors
that come from facing a finty eyed
creditor My friend, where is the chief
butler Of PharaOhs court who has for
gotten the trials and agOnies of the
past struggles of life in his dealings
with others?
Oh, that we would be more like J0-
seph aEl lees Ike the chief butler in
our dealings with our fellow men! If
/ you are a man you have without doubt
read that book which is so dear to near
~ all boys hearts, called Tom Brown
at Rugby" There the English author
Thomas Hughes, writes an autObiOgra-
ply Of his early life. He gives an ac-
count Of the flag system" Of the great
pubic school of England, the school in
which DR. Arnold made his name as a
teacher honored for all time. The lit
tie boys in Hughes day were not only
allowed to be "hazed" by the big boys,
but they had to be their servaRts. They
hal to carry the water and black the
shoes and run the errands Of the older
students. On bitterly cold nights, with |
their little shivering bodies, they had |
to crawl in between the sheets Of the |
big boys beds and EarA them before |
they could go to their own beds. They |
had to do everything the big boys or
dered them to do. There we find the
law Of Rugby was the same as is the
universal law Of life. As a rule. the
boy who had the hardest time as a lit
tie boy was the hardest upon his flag"
when he became a big boy. What
American boy has not had the big
lump come into his throat when he
read Of the struggles of little Tom
Brown? And, oh, the prayer of CRATE
fitness we uttered when the "big boy"
Of that book. that good big boy" came
to the rescue Of little Toni My friends,
,annot we be the good Zig boys" Of D
ffng Of
lrenticeships as flags" We have had
,ur hard times. Shall we not Try to
make the burdens of the little "fags"
bout us lighter rs Joseph tried to do,
II are we going to be hard upon our
elbow men, as was the chief butler !
Who forgot about the troubles Of Jo-
eph. who was once his fellow pris-
ner?
In the Buffers Place.
There is a centripetal as well as a n
lesson resulting from this q
utter OF my text ignoring his past mis- h
)rtunes. The one forgetfulness blinds p
is eyes and hardens his heart to the n
Of others. The second for A
etfulness blinds his. eyes and hardens h
is heart to the threatening misfor- h
ines which are ahead Because this o.
lief butler had safely weathered one 81
on the sea Of life he is very @;
1t TO forget to look to the seawOrthi- tr
,ss Of his craft and to feel that from NJ
wv on there will be nothing but V,
smooth passage and no threatening er
orms ahead. Because he has lain nj
,wn upon the operating table and had ia
e surgeons knife cut near his vitals in
ID successfully remove the dangerous w
NOR he fOolishly supposes that he -
i'll never have another tumor and yC
'yer have to undergo another similar ar
iysical and mental ordeal. Then ha
hat is the result? As he forgets his We
st troubles he also forgets to guard
.ainst the sins and evil habits which ti-
light have brought him into his late go
mculties. Let us for a moment put sa
rselyes into that buffers place. "T
