If children have the great privi-
lege of growing up in an atmos-
phere of pure thoughts, loving af-
lection, and righteous conduct-if
they learn to conquer difficulties,
to love truth, to discriminate be-
tween good and evil, and always
choose the former - all these
things will become part of them
selves, and will cause them no be-
station in manhood or woman
hood, nor occupy the attention they
need to grapple with new duties.

1t would astonish many of US
sometimes If we could know what
our neighbors think of us. Every
man has some kind of standing in
the community in which he lives,
and he is sized up a great deal
closer than he has any idea Of.
You may set it down as a fact that
there isn't a twelve year old boy
in the neighborhood who hasn't
his opinion of you, and he would
not be long about expressing it,
either, if a stranger should ask
him for it. Every man is always
making character, whether he is
doing anything else or not.-The

The man who makes money in
a community has a duty to per-
form to that community. 1t may
be that he has made his money by
his superior business ability, and
that he would have done as we'll
anywhere. That does not alter
the case. If his gifts are great
his responsibility is equally as
great. No man was placed on
earth for the sole purpose of max
ing money, and the man who has
this as his ideal had better never
have been born. 1t is not an act
of charity, but the performance of
simple duty for the man who
made money to pass little of it
for the benefit of the community.
even though he never expects to
see dollar of his contribution
back.-The Webster Signal.
