do this are apt ego broke" But there
was never a time when thrift and in
dustrv and temperatures and right
living earned such sure and large
rewards as today.
It is easier to retain the approval
of ones own confidence today than
ever before. for there are greater in
centiycs 70 right doing and fewer in
dncements for wrong doing. The pa
pers are full of the punishment OF
evil: they TEN with the wrecks of
human lives and human hopes. Many
people think the papers should print
only the nice things and the pleasant
things But the press serves an inn
mensely valuable end in constituting
itself seven days in the week a con-
slant warning against the thinking and
the doing of evil. which warning must
inevitably embody the converse entice-
ment toward the thinking and the do
ing of good.
1t is always easy TO get friends and
to keep them. Anybody who deserves
to have friends can have all he wants.
Friends are reaching out their hands
all around us. The world is crying
for men worth being taken by the hand
and to the heart as friends.
1t should be easy to do right regard
less of the worlds opinion. The right
thinking man knows that the world
is wrong when it points toward evil Or
away from the right in any degree.
Knowing that the world is wrong at
such times, it takes only a little real,
true courage to do the right thing.
The main point is to get right, and the
man who gets thoroughly right will
have little trouble in doing right.

the Kansas City Journal:

earn a little every day and spend lit

narrow the way that leadeth unto life

To teach that ii is easier or pleasanter
or more profitable to be bad than to

experience Of all the good people and
all the bad people who ever lived.
